    Too contraversial for some here.

    When it comes to Religion and statements about truth in general, there is usually always a power play at hand. A way to gain an edge or authority over another person, and this shouldn't be so with the Bible. The Bible needs to be rightly handled with humility and earnest study. I think where...

    The Charismatic Church movement

    Yes, but the Holy Spirit is the one who apportions the gifts. Which is where the interpretation derives from. Agree with much of what you say here. The Church still is in need of edification, perhaps more than ever, so I don't see why God would withhold these gifts.

    The Charismatic Church movement

    This is such a strange argument to me. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12 (ESV) We shall fully know when the téleios comes, which this word comes from the root "tel," which...

    Christians? Using self-defense and Guns?

    Seems a bit convoluted for him to say that, as he of course also added that it was for the purpose of Scripture being fulfilled.

    Christians? Using self-defense and Guns?

    That is part of it, but it doesn't fit all the text. "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword." "For" is an explanatory conjunction, and the proceeding clause gives the explanation for the preceding clause. Statement: Put your sword in it's place...

    Time And Chance ?

    This text can be meant to cause fear, because whatever is hidden or said will be known to the Father, and we should fear rejecting God, rather than what man could do to us. We also have nothing to fear if we confess Christ as God is sovereign and watches over all creation, even more so us who...

    How Can You Know What is True?

    Special Revelation (Scripture) and Natural Revelation (God's Universe), are both great ways to find out truth, when rightfully observed and interpreted.

    Yeshua or Jesus?

    Jesus' disciples would have called him Yeshua, and Jesus is just the English Transliteration of Iesous, which is the Greek form of Yeshua. I don't think it would matter in any format.

    Yeshua or Jesus?

    That's totally fine to do. :) Many people of different tongues call him by different names, but we all worship and praise the same Lord.

    Yeshua or Jesus?

    Some people do actually. It is confusing to those who don't understand what "Christ" means, since it is merely a transliteration of Christos, which means the Anointed One. And of course is a reference to the Messiah who would be the King of Israel of the line of David. I personally think it's...

    Yeshua or Jesus?

    Christ isn't his last name or something, there is actually a definite article in the Greek in between Jesus and Christ, which means Messiah. So basically it is "Jesus the Messiah."

    Good stuff!

    How Can You Know What is True?

    The struggle for someone who comes from Mormonism, is the question of "why not just have faith that Mormonism is true?" A person needs to have a justification for their faith, as it isn't just blind belief, but absolute trust in a God who has proven his faithfulness.

    How do you pray to the trinity?

    This is sooo all over the place I don't know where to begin. Since this isn't the debate forum, I'll just bid you good day.

    It Is Impossible ?

    Don't bother, people will pick and choose their favorite translation to support whatever interpretation they want. Regardless of what the Greek has to say.

    It Is Impossible ?

    It's nothing new, the King James Version which is partially based off of the Latin Vulgate, is the only one to my knowledge that makes the mistake of translating it into the word "if." I do know the Greek, and I even showed you in the Greek text that there is no "if." You can believe whatever...

    It Is Impossible ?

    You mean to say that the Cross made God less forgiving, in that he would not have forgiven Peter after he rejected him after the Cross? God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins if we repent and confess.

    It Is Impossible ?

    I appealed to the original Greek, to show you why the new translation is correct and the KJV is wrong. You can look over that again to see, I didn't just arbitrarily pronounce one wrong and right. If you think I am wrong, then please address the actual substance of my argument, rather than...

    It Is Impossible ?

    There is no "if" in the actual text, that's a mistake on the part of the KJV. Newer versions don't make that mistake. "and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt." Hebrews...

    It Is Impossible ?

    Peter was enlightened, and yet when he denied Christ 3 times, he was still able to repent and be restored. I think this text has a historical background that needs to be taken into account, as these people are Jewish Christians. They came from the sacrificial system, which I think is the main...
