lol! Me too, as I'm days away from 70, but in New Jerusalem, we'll all of us have a lot of time on our hands...

I consider the Textus Receptus as truly inspired, with the Alexandrian Text and the Codex Sinaiticus as a close second. Translators are not inspired and are subject to mistakes, sadly. As I am not a Greek scholar, I have to depend on a translator, Since God's word is eternal, I suspect that...

Though I prefer the KJV, I have found that some translations are closer to the original Greek than others... Have you ever tried to read the 1611 KJV? Yiikes!

2 Chron 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. The above verse occurs if only the faithful turn...

The Holy Spirit has never died!!!

2 Cor 7: 10: For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. But we come to the Lord as we are, set free from our enslavement to sin, but being free from our sins doesn't lead to instant perfection. Heb 5: 12-14: For when for...

The one baptism spoken of by the Lord in Ephesians is an interesting statement, when considering the principals of the doctrines of Christ listed in Heb 6: 1-3: "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of...

As I considered that verse, I came to this conclusion: Tit 3: 5: Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit; And Eph 5: 26: That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of...

Deut 30: 19: I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Our kids grow up watching us, their parents and when they see us choosing life or blessing, they are...

Heb 10: 1-4: For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers...

True sadly. We all like sheep have gone astray to our own way. There is none righteous, no not one. At least not until Jesus and the Holy Spirit turns our hearts back to the Lord with forgiveness and by faith.

That's hard for me to hear from you, whom I look up to and who has always been a beacon of light for God's grace and love here at Christian chat. I suspect I missed some of what has been going on and for that I'm truly sorry! The Lord continue to hold you close to his heart, living and walking...

Perhaps they did not, but they did exercise their free will when they refused to heed Joshua and Caleb and listened to the other ten spies sent into the promised land. When they had a golden calf made and worshiped it. When they refused to look at the serpent that Moses put upon his staff, or...

You have my agreement, but the Lord is able to make himself heard by then who are receptive: In Gen 3:15: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. We see that Adam and Eve received a promise...

No, they do not, but... Rom 2: 10-16: But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law...

Rom 1: 18-23: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation...

According to my understanding of scripture: There is no absolute free will as there is no absolute preordination. The truth is found somewhere between the two and that's why there is such confusion regarding this topic. If our every act and thought has been preordained by the Lord, that would...

In New Jerusalem, there will be a single forbidden fruit, if you will. Of which there is no forgiveness , neither in this world, nor in the world to come. I suspect that the Lord will have a long talk with anyone who might consider partaking of it, before hand. But the point is, that as long...

With the translator in mind, 1 Cor 8:2, "And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know."

If that were true, every translation would agree with each other. In every language, words have different meanings than that of another language. 66 holy men as moved by the Holy Spirit gave us the holy scriptures. Translators are not necessarily holy men and are not inspired by the Spirit...
