The problem with your view is that everyone, including you, is therefore unsaved. You cannot be “saved for now, pending future action”. You are either saved or you are not saved; there is no middle ground. So, instead of telling us all about your “feelings” which have no biblical basis, learn...

Jude doesn’t need to state that he’s quoting Enoch to be doing so.

Reading Enoch is no more frowned upon than reading any other text from the Second Temple period or the early Roman period. The reality is that Jude does quote Enoch, and Enoch explains the situation from Genesis 6 more fully. In a similar way, modern medical textbooks explain the interactions...

However, you're making an assumption that is not spelled out in Scripture.

Every time I read "will power" (instead of "willpower"), I think of Will Power, the IndyCar driver. Then again, I may be the only one on this site who thinks that; I haven't come across any other IndyCar fans around here.

Um… no. As in howling elven llama legs no. Never in a million years no. I’m almost offended no.

To the thread title... No. :cool:

Y'all be stirrin' some trouble. I'm just gonna sit waaay over here and munch popcorn while I watch the carnage unfold.

Not so easy when you make it in the two-gallon slow cooker, but it can be done. :cool:

Welcome to CC, Claudette! :)

Truth is not subject to democracy. Until you can demonstrate that they were not completely at fault for their own choices, you have no case. Which they are. There is no excuse for sin, period. The word is "they're". Satan may have deceived or misled them, but they are not innocent. "Judging...

That we have a tyrant was already evident. I'm saddened by this, but not in the least surprised. Power corrupts, and all the more when one's starting point is already morally deficient.

You're employing circular reasoning, and your conclusion is wrong. The modern translations simply render the word as it should be rendered, without applying any theological bias to it. This is the correct way to translate, so long as the result does not actually contradict the rest of Scripture...

Welcome to CC. The Scripture says, "Honour the Sabbath", not "respect the Sabbath". Honour and respect are not the same thing. Most animals don't rest on the Sabbath; only domestic animals do, when their masters rest on that day. There is no "spirit of the earth"; that's new-age or Eastern...

The Hebrew words can legitimately be translated "young woman" or "virgin". There is nothing "corrupt" about a version where the latter is chosen. Remember, the prophecy was not spelled out in exhaustive and specific detail. Mary's claim that she is a virgin (Luke 1:34) is the clear statement...

It will probably get banned about the same time that atrocious spelling is banned.

You have made the common error of KJV-only advocates: you assume that the KJV rendering is correct, build your theology from it, and compare other versions to it. Let’s get one thing perfectly clear: the original-language documents are the standard; the KJV is not.

Skip the bun; just give me four meat cookies layered with cheese (a variety), green relish, grilled mushrooms, and sliced tomato, with a light layer of barbecue sauce.

TV? Wot’s that?

Welcome to CC, and sorry you're having to deal with this. You have been betrayed, and your husband has broken his vows. Whether you choose to divorce him is up to you, but you do have biblical warrant to do so. I would suggest that you demand that he live on his own until he repents (far more...
