Hi Devoted, welcome to CC!

I was raised on the KJV; it's a pretty solid translation. Other good ones are the (1984) NIV, NKJV, ESV and NLT.

There was a man whose legs gave way due to fear. And he didn't learn from his grandfather's sins.

Trump is not the first US President who has attempted to acquire Greenland. I do think it's a stupid idea, though. That being said, I look at Trump the way I look(ed) at Biden; namely that they remind me of Scripture passages such as Daniel 4 and Romans 13. Speaking of Romans, God is giving...

Until we meet again, brother!

Hey there, @GeorgieGirl! :cool:

Any argument that states Jesus "didn't do enough" should be ignored. It wasn't in vain that He said while on the cross, "It is finished!". Then there's His resurrection and power over sin and death. If Jesus didn't die for ALL sins for ALL time, then He failed. Of course He didn't (and...

Stephen prayed to God out loud as he was being stoned (Acts 7:59-60). Did he sin by doing that?

Welcome to CC, Maria!

Hmmm, now that you mention it, I haven't seen any posts from him in a while. I hope he's doing OK.

When we come to God in faith, we DO NOT sit in judgment of Him. That is an absurd conclusion.

I celebrate Christmas too. I know that Jesus wasn't born on December 25, but I celebrate His birth around this time of year. As for X-mas, the "X" is the Greek letter Chi, the first letter of the Greek word for Christ. I used to be offended by "X-mas" until I learned that.

I believe that the "Lord Lord" people whom Jesus was addressing were false prophets because He had just finished talking about them; namely that they are ravenous wolves in sheep's clothing (and that they can be known by their fruits). Also, when Jesus spoke about how only those who do His...

Christ obeyed the Law perfectly while on earth; He did not stumble in any point (James 2:10) He is also our Sabbath rest (Hebrews 4:9-10). Therefore our obedience is through Christ and His righteousness. Paul wrote that the Law is established by our faith in Christ (Romans 3:31).

Hmmm if OP is not a Christian (or follower of Yeshua/Jesus as he/she pleases), then what religion, if any, does he/she belong to? In any case, OP's post is more like a rant.

Welcome to CC!

One of my favorite passages is: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart And lean not on your own understanding In all your ways acknowledge Him And He will direct your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV

I've been here for 10 1/2 years and I've seen some stuff........... :cool:

God chose the Jews (more broadly Hebrews) to be His chosen people, and Satan hates that. God could have chosen any group of humans using any criteria He selected and Satan would still be hateful and murderous. We must not forget, as it says in Job, that Satan can only do what God allows him to...

We shouldn't quibble over the exact words or phrases used. We can infer from the context what God meant/means and what He intended/intends. And that's what really matters.
