    Easter in Acts 12:4 1 2 3

    by Jordan Kurecki

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HflFLnaKqNPFfni9EEZEOWIM_SPL4O0M/view?usp=drivesdk Here is my position on the useage of Easter in Acts 12:4 in the KJV. As a preview, I take neither the position that it is an error nor that it is a pagan holiday.

    John 6:11 Who fed the 5000?

    by Will Kinney

    John 6:11 KJB - “And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed TO THE DISCIPLES, AND THE DISCIPLES to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.” ESV (NASB, NIV, NET, Jehovah Witness NWT, Catholic Douay, St. Joseph NAB, New Jerusalem bible) - “Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.” All of the other passages found in the synoptic gospels show that Jesus first gave the loaves of bread to the DISCIPLES and they, in turn, distributed to the multitude of people. Matthew 14:19 - …

KJB - "Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by HIS FAITH."

    Eve's Transgression? 1 2 3 4 5

    by No Nicolaitans

    First, let me apologize for keeping this short. I'll not be quoting any scripture because of time constraints at the moment, and I hope I can explain quickly what I was wondering about. Second...I've been thinking... I've often hear it preached (and I've preached it myself) that Eve twisted God's word by adding "neither should they touch" the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Now, at the least, if God didn't say that, that would be lying...and therefore, it would have been a sin. Eve was deceived and in the transgression, but the Bible plainly states that sin entered because of Adam's sin. We don't have every recorded word that God told them, so it is…

    Luke 10:42 How many things are needed? "ONE THING" or "A FEW THINGS"?  Bible Babble Buffet at its Best.

    Luke 10:42 How many things are needed? "ONE THING" or "A FEW THINGS"? Bible Babble Buffet at its Best. King James Bible - Luke 10:42 - But ONE THING IS NEEDFUL: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” NASB 1963-1977 editions - “But ONLY A FEW THINGS ARE NECESSARY, REALLY ONLY ONE, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” NASB 1995 edition - “But ONLY ONE THING IS NECESSARY, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” NIV 1973, 1978 and 1982 editions - "BUT ONLY ONE THING IS NEEDED. Mary has chosen what is better, and it…

    The KJVO myth

    by robycop3

    Here's some skinny on the KJVO myth: 1.) It's entirely man-made, without one quark of SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT, even in the KJV itself. That fact alone makes it false. 2.) While the KJV is an excellent translation, it's only one of several, and is by no means perfect. 3.) The current KJVO myth was derived from a CULT OFFICIAL'S book & spread by some dishinest authort. I shall post the details in a subsequent post. 4.) KJVO is a myth, due to its man-made origin and apocryphal details. 5.) The makers of the KJV were not KJVO! Please carefully read their preface, "To The Reader", in the AV 1611. GOD IS NOT LIMITED to the KJV in English …

    Reverend?

    by weary warrior
    • 4 replies
    • 1.4k views

    The name or title "reverend" only appears 1 time in all of scripture. Psa 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend ishis name. The only time it is used is as a name for God. He is the "revered one" if you will. So I can't help but wonder how we, the humble servants of God, can have the temerity to refer to ourselves, or let others refer to us, as "Reverend". We are not ever to be "revered ones", but humble servants who lead the church in grace and humility and truth by our example.

    How to interpret the bible 1 2

    by Jordan Kurecki

    the following are some excerpts from a lesson I did on how to understand the bible, feel free to comment on them, I will post new points as time goes by: The word study in 2 Timothy 2:15 means to be diligent. The phrase rightly dividing in Greek has the idea of making a straight cut. It seems to give me the idea of precision. We need precision, carefulness, and diligence when interpreting the bible because it is like no other book. 2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were m…

    The Elect Lady of II John

    by AdamL

    I was wondering if anyone had thoughts as to who the elect lady and her children are in II John. At the end of the book the Apostle John also mentions her elect sister and her children. I have two thoughts.... 1. A Christian woman and her children and her biological sister that is also saved or another sister in Christ and her children. 2. Both local churches with their respective congregations. A strictly literal reading would lead more towards option 1. However, Christians are often referred to as children in Scripture, and the church is referred to as a woman, although a chaste virgin that could lead towards option 2. If you have another optio…

    Matthew 12:40 1 2 3 4 9

    by rstrats

    Whenever the three days and three nights of Matthew 12:40 is brought up in a "discussion" with 6th day crucifixion folks, they frequently argue that it is a Jewish idiom for counting any part of a day as a whole day. I wonder if anyone has documentation that shows an example from the first century or before regarding a period of time that is said to consist of a specific number of days as well as a specific number of nights where the period of time absolutey doesn't/can't include at least a part of each one of the specific number of days and at least a part of each one of the specific number of nights?

    What does 'Israel' mean in the Old Testament and in the New? 1 2 3 4

    by Gud4U

    Greetings, all, Hope you are all doing great and the Lord is smiling and offering you all His kind Grace and blessings. Studying the Good Book, questions rise after questions, i hope it's a good thing. Reading the Old testament, we come across the word 'Israel' when God tells Jacob: i believe this is the first mention of that name, and then it has been mentioned multiple times on and on, especially through the book of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Hoshua, Judges, Ruth, I Samuel, II Samuel, I Kings, II Kings, I Chronicles, II Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, a good number of Psalms, starting with Psalm 14 and ending with Psalm 149, Proverbs 1, …

    Hell's Compartments: Then, Now, and In the Future. 1 2 3

    by John Young

    Hell is the place souls go that are without bodies. There were two compartments in Hell. One for those who are tormented and destined to be judged and another for those who were comforted and waiting for their redemption. When Jesus descended at his death he went to the prison of Hell. Those in prison that he preached to were not in rebellion to God but only "sometime were disobedient". They were sinners that believed in God and were waiting for the redemption so that they could be saved by Christ. The faithful of old, from before the crucifixion, were led captive from the captivity of the grave. Today there is now only one compartment for the rebellious because the…

    Archaisms in the KJV. 1 2 3 4 8

    by Jordan Kurecki

    I’ve been doing some studying into the archaic features of the KJV. i found that the difference between -eth and -est is that one is second person and another is third person. So it would seem that this would add detail to the Bible and therefore accuracy. However, practically speaking it seems to me that this doesn’t really add information because of English Syntax, it would seem that the subject of the sentence will always supple that information and therefore these endings are unnecessary. Does anyone know of any places in the English bible where having these Archaic endings give the reader more clarity?

    Goofs and booboos in the KJV. 1 2 3

    by DaveW

    Ok Mr Robycop.... List em out for us. Every single one of them so that they can be addressed. We need it clear, concise, and fully referenced, chapter and verse, and precisely why you think each one is a goof or a booboo. And if possible each one separated so that it can be easily addressed in isolation. You are making the accusations - let's see the goods.

    The Beginning of the Church "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone." Ephesians 2:19 & 20 The foundation, the chief corner stone of the church, is the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus founded His church during His earthly ministry. The Lord Jesus started, while He was on the earth, the church. “And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18 The Lord is the found…

    Does 1 Corinthians 13:8-12 teach the sign gifts have ceased? 1 2 3 4 7

    by Jordan Kurecki

    Many preachers teach that 1 Corinthians 13:8-12 teaches that the sign gifts will cease, the claim is that the "perfect" of vs 10 is the completed canon of scriptures. However I have a hard time seeing how the completed scriptures were what enable Paul to "know even as I also am known". I am beginning to wonder if this interpretation of this passage of scripture is a knee jerk reaction to charismatic doctrine and chaos? I see it as a definite possibility that what the "perfect" is and what Paul means by "then shall I know even as I also am known" as a reference to our condition in glory, or something of that nature. So I have several questions 1. Does the cessation of…

    Sheep's clothing....

    by DaveW

    Something occurred to me the other day about this verse: Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It suddenly occurred to me that I don't remember a time when I was walking down the road and suddenly realized I was wearing a particular set of clothes. Have any of you been walking down the road and suddenly found that someone had dressed you in a superman costume? Have any of you ever found that you had been dressed as a chef without you noticing? People do not get dressed in something without knowing either what they are putting on or what is being put on them. …

    My apologies up front for any aggravation or heartache this question poses, as it seems to evoke pretty passionate responses when brought up, but the only way for me to learn is to ask. If Paul intended for "The husband of one wife" to mean never have been divorced, would that include a divorce before a man was saved? God tells us in Hebrews 8:12, Isaiah 43:25 and Psalm 103:11-12 that He not only forgives, but that He will also forget our transgressions when we turn to Him. One gentleman told me that sin has consequences (such as unwed pregnancy or drunk driving, etc), which I agree with, but the ones he listed are societal consequences for our sin a…
