Here are Gideon's words: "I also think that deep down, people believe that the world has little time left to run. They may well be right. Who wants to bring a child into the world we have today? " Perhaps you need to do so yourself before you suggest others do.

You might want to learn how to distinguish between a person’s own thoughts and a person’s summation of the thoughts of others. It’s clear to me that Gideon is sharing the latter.

With respect, the thread title says "biblestudy" (sic). Your statements (bolded) are not in the Bible, but are the opinions of men. Which, exactly, are you intending to study?

Exactly.

The USA isn't now, and never has been a Christian nation. At times it has had a higher proportion of people who hold values compatible with Christianity, and may even have had a higher proportion of actual Christians, but it has always been a secular nation.

Your closing sentence belies everything you wrote before.

You’re making the same fallacious argument that John146 has made many times. The Scripture is inspired; the translation thereof is not inspired. The Scripture in the NIV carries the same degree of inspiration as the Scripture in the KJV (and in many other translations). It’s erroneous to claim...

As you know, the Vulgate was “the” Bible of the entire Western world for 1100 years, almost three times longer then the KJV has been “the” Bible in English, but for some, that’s inconvenient and therefore treated as irrelevant.

Proper perspective… I suggest you consider those words in light of my entire post and the post to which I was responding.

This passage is not ‘defining’ prophecy but rather stating the origin of the prophecy recorded in the Old Testament. VARob is absolutely correct in his citation of Paul. Your position pits one passage of Scripture against another. That the Holy Spirit is the author of all genuine prophecy does...

You just berated another contributor for ‘missing’ a passage of Scripture, but it certainly looks like you have done the same thing: “For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit… and “Anyone who...

That is at best an inference from a narrative section of Scripture, not a clear direction from the Lord.

Welcome to CC, AbidingInHim... It sounds like you're on the right track. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Paul's letter to the Galatians addresses saved people who have believed the lie that Christians must be circumcised and adhere to the Law as given through Moses.

Irrelevant.

That reminds me… I need to connect with a few far-flung friends, some of whom I met on here. Thanks!

Only in rainbow packs (no white). 😜

According to John146 you don’t need to ‘look them up’; you just need to keep reading the KJV. She is proving him wrong.

Welcome to CC! Hopefully you'll get the help and encouragement you need. I'd suggest you start with either Mark or John. Mark, because it's short and simple, and John, because it focuses on Jesus Christ. After those, you might try Acts, Philippians, and 1 John, then Genesis.
