You wrote - "I think there's no need for the Apocrypha as a way of helping to understand Genesis 1:1. Your example may come from the "liberal Oxford Study Bible..." Do you see anywhere I said the apocrypha was a help to understand Gen. 1:1. The Apocrypha is a record of various things the Jews...

That depends on how you understand the quote from the Apocrypha, which I gave in the context of modernist evolution theories. Four translations of the verse read as follows: "I beseech thee, my son, look upon the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, and consider that God made them of...

What I mainly had in mind was the quality of the construction of the Cambridge Bibles. Yet, for those very particular, it is the Cambridge that supposedly prints the most accurate KJV - https://kjvpce.com/pce

Several points I had in mind, one was to alert the "KJV Only" brethren that in the complete Translators to the Readers pages, you do not find the KJV translators that their translation was to be the only preserved word of God. Another point is, the KJV translators had been given guidelines on...

The Title Page reads as follows: THE HOLY BIBLE Containing the OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS AND THE APOCRYPHA Translated out of the original tongues and with the former translations diligently compared and revised by his majesty's special command Appointed to be read in Churches The title pages of...

"This in no way implies that He inherited a sin nature from Adam; rather, He likely had the nature that Adam had prior to the fall." I read nothing 'into' you words. Did you not write what I have quoted? So, Jesus had the same nature as Adam did before the fall? Is Jesus God? Is Jesus the...

Anthropomorphism means the ascription of human qualities to God. God is so far above and superior to us humans that we speak of God as being incomprehensible. How does God reveal himself and providence to us the creatures? One way is through anthropomorphism, to relate to us. God is knowable...

I find it odd that people use the word "semantics" as if it is a dirty word that usually means word trickery or word games. We MUST use semantics in determining the meaning of texts- se·man·tics [səˈman(t)iks] NOUN the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. There are a number...

Come on Dino, think of what you wrote for a minute. You certainly do not mean that. So God the creator and Adam the creation had the same nature before the fall? I believe Adam was created holy, not just neutral and innocent; but I certainly don't think Adam's nature was that of God. God is...

You wrote: "Homosexuals claim Science proves they are genetically designed and created naturally." I've never heard or read that, though I don't guess I read literature by homosexuals. I've never heard or read that sort of thing from any reputable source. Where did you find that? What is...

Merriam -Webster defines impeccable as "not capable of sinning or liable to sin". The question then arises, how are we to understand the following verse? - "For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted." (Heb 2:18 KJV) The NRSV translates it...

There have been many failed predictions of the end of the world made all down through history. Wikipedia has quite a list of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events

I believe Charles Haddon Spurgeon had it right in his comments on Matthew 24:36 - "There is a manifest change in our Lord’s words here, which clearly indicates that they refer to his last great coming to judgment: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man .” Some would be prophets have wrested...

As far as I know, all regenerated persons of historic pre-mils, a-mils and post-mils views look for the second coming and it is a blessed hope, but we don't know if it is imminent or not. The second coming may be later today or it may be 1000 years from now. I'll say I do not know more than...

Yes, I knew what you meant by AoD, but do you think new or young Christians have any idea what you mean? What about 'seekers' after the faith, they'll be scratching their heads. I find that Luke lets us know about the abomination of desolation - “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by...

You are correct. You do not find that in the Bible. It comes from Gnosticism, The Apocalypse of Peter, as I'll quote at the end of my reply. In the Bible, no illustrations are shown that the fig tree is symbolizing Israel. The verses quoted supposingly to support that idea of the fig tree is...

Drop the military love of acronyms and Facebook slang and write what you mean by "AoD"? I write standard English and expect the same in return with serious biblical discussion. Also, drop the labels and ask a particular question.

:) Where friend, did I show a need for "sourcing out other English versions to prove the necessity of Apocypha." I merely showed that the people of God in BC times believed creation out of nothing as we believers do today, in opposition to modern 'theistic evolution' theories. I was giving...

You are really confused on this. Nowhere in the canonical scriptures is Israel called the "fig tree". That is found in the gnostic writings, the heretics! It is in the Apocalypse of Peter - http://www.gnosis.org/library/apocpeter.htm ALL those things are that which happens in that...

In the first few seconds of this false prophet's video, when he put the 70th week in our future, I shut it off. It is illogical to separate the 70th week from the 69th so as to force it into a man-made system. A challenge to all you prophecy enthusiasts. Go to the online commentaries at...
