For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.

Acts 12:25 - The Devil is in the Details In Acts 12:25 we read: ?And Barnabas and Saul returned FROM (ex) Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.? This is the reading found in a multitude of Greek manuscripts and Bible versions including P74, Alexandrinus, the Textus Receptus, the Modern Greek N.T., the Vulgate 425, Wycliffe 1395, the Geneva Bible 1599, the Italian Diodati 1649, Riveduta 1927, French Martin 1744, Louis Segond 1910, Ostervald 1996, the Spanish Reina Valera 1602 - 1995, the Revised Version 1881, ASV 1901, Weymouth, Lamsa?s translation of the Syriac 1933, Douay 1950, Darby, Young?s, the NKJV 198…

Slaves or servants? This little word study resulted from a letter I received from another Christian who wrote me about the alleged error of translating the Greek word 'doulos' as "servant" and not always as "slave". Here is his letter and then my response to the question he brings up. This brother writes: Recently I was at a gathering and the minister made a big issue about the word "slaves" in the new versions. He said it should have been "slaves"and not "servants" as the King James says. Could you give me more info on this word "servants" and why it should be translated servants and not slaves? He implied that it was a transltors preference and nothing to do with Gr…

Acts 10:19 ?three men?, ?two men? or just ? some men?? Further textual confusion both by Westcott-Hort and the two so called ?oldest and best? manuscripts is further seen in Acts 10:19. In the King James Bible we read: ?While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, THREE men seek thee.? The three men refers back to verses 10:7-8 where we read that Cornelius ?called TWO of his household servants, AND a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually...he sent THEM to Joppa.? Thus there were three men altogether who went to find Peter. The reading of "THREE men" is again confirmed in chapter eleven verse eleven where Peter is rehearsing the …

Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. Do you think this ark of the testement is the ark of the covenant?

I'm currently SBC, but I do believe the KJV is the one we're supposed to use. Other than that, can you tell me why you are a member of an Indepedent Church and why you believe it's different that SBC (other than you freely give to missionaries of your choice and the autonomy? Thanks in Advance.

Galatians 6:2 says, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." Galatians 6:5 says, "For every man shall bear his own burden." We are to bear each other's burdens or loads for this is well-pleasing to the Lord! Since we are also to bear our burdens or load of our work for the Lord, then we are to obey that command also! So we can help each other out by obeying the above two commands. The Scriptures do not contradict each other! They always agree! :Green :Green :Green

I don't have much time since I'm pretty busy right now, but I have a question. My mom wants a Bible that is a literal translation, word for word. The only thing that I could find was Young's. Does anyone know what source texts he used? Thanks. :smile

Guys, I have been looking around and saw many anti Ruckman comments. Why are thee so many anti Ruckman folks on here? Even if you do not agree with him on everything. You will still agree with him about 95% of the time. As an example I do not agree with my wife 100% of the time but I still love my wife and she is a good wife. Ruckman has helped many people out in the ministry. He has had many attend PBI his college. He has stood up for the KJV for many years. Just to name a few good things that Dr. Ruckman has accomplished. Atlas

Do those of you who believe that the KJV is superior to the TR and the Massoretic texts, believe the margin clarifications in the KJV are inspired likewise?

I was reading Revelations 5, trying to picture what John saw, tonight. And a thought crossed my mind. biblion = scroll That the "book of life" is really a scroll of life (the bit about it being written on the front and back got me thinking about it). Why did the word "book" get used when the English word "scroll" exists? Any thoughts on this?

Hi everyone, I've been wondering over the last couple days about this: Missionaries crack a new language, and begin translating the Bible into their language. From what do they translate? A Greek text? The KJV? Does the nation need to learn English? Thanks, Andrew

What's it all about? It is pointed out by Jesus in the surrounding chapters that people of the OT have had faith even though they were given a lot less than the people around Him, and I can understand that argument. But here He seems to be talking about the truth being 'hidden' from those who are cautious. What does He mean?

I love the KJV. I am evangelist who works among young people who are not very literate. When I studied theology at a liberal college I realised how the devil has attacked the inerrancy of the Received Text by bringing out heretical modern versions based on the gnostic/papist Westcott Hort edition. So I am working currently on a KJV version true to the Received Text, a true transliteration of the Word of God, not a free translation. I am looking for people, even those who would disagree with putting the KJV into current English, to peer-review my work. If you would like to peer-review what I am doing, my email address is nigelthomasvibartdixon@hotmail.co.uk. Please …

Go ahead. I read the NIV and KJV. I've heard a few arguments but never anything that holds weight. Since signing up yesterday with this forum, I've seen that the NIV changes who killed Goliath and also calls the Devil the "Morning Star" as well as Jesus being the Morning Star. 2 good arguments yet two that I have never heard. Please... give me more.

(This is stemming from the conversation about the updated KJV and some discussions I have had about the term marriage - I did not want to derail the other thread, so here goes.) I have been thinking about the redefining of marriage. Since, as a culture, we seem to be heading in the direction of marriage no longer meaning one woman and one man, we are presented with a problem. As words change meaning, the literature that uses those words ends up unclear. I am not trying to turn this into a KJV debate, so lets leave scripture out of it (for now). Should we think about a new term that makes the distinction between marriage as the traditional definition says and marr…

D.L. Moody 1 2

Can anyone tell me what version of the Bible did D.L. Moody use? I have a co-worker who went to Moody Bible Institute and he made the comment that the KJV was a "bad" translation because the translators used the Latin translations to translate the KJV. I corrected him once, he assured me he was correct, and rather than choke my co-worker, I simply walked away. I went back to the 1611 preface and found where the translators specifically said they used the Hebrew and Greek. Part of my counter-argument to the KJV being a "bad" translation was that the Great Awakenings began by preachers preaching out of the KJV. Since my co-worker was a Moody graduate, I thought I would p…

I first listened to J. Vernon Mcgee when I was a teenagers and saw the movie Jaws at the theater, and found I couldn't sleep for several nights afterwards (closed my eyes and I'd see hsrak's teeth). I turn on the local Christian station and one of the programs was J. Vernon McGee. His voice was so soothing and the message relaxing I was able to sleep. I heard him again, live when he came to speak at John Brown universtiry when I was in college. He died not long after. When I was working landscape maintenance, I'd listne to him while I mowed and trimmed, among other preachers on that station. I was able then to follow more of the equence of studies, and while I didn't…

Dear Brethren, A dear friend of mine who is a member of a non-Baptist church has gotten into a struggle with the membership over their unwise decision to go with the corrupt NKJV. Sad! However, it has been an educational process for he and me (since he confides in me quite a bit,) they have thrown everything including the kitchen sink at him. Now, this fellow Sir Francis Bacon. They say he was an occultist, and Free Mason and was involved with the editing process of the AV1611 and that there are mystic insertions done by him. Of course I don't buy it AT ALL, but they have picked it up from somewhere. To the best of my ability, it seems the Masons have made th…

And my annual "like" of Brother Dave's annual post is also now done. -

Those that don’t have Sunday evening services, I blame the leaders and the members. The members were too lazy to come to the evening services, and the leaders finally gave up. Where I am attending they changed Wednesday night services, to Friday nights. You cannot really call this a midweek service for it’s already the weekend. After Covid, churches have changed much. -
We have an adult Bible study at 9.30am, main service at 10.15am, evening service at 6pm, prayer meeting Wednesday night. Evening service and prayer meeting are poorly attended, but as we have our own building it costs us nothing to have a service for 9 or 10 people. Only the morning service is well attended. The number of services and the times of those services are not important, but my personal view has always been that you should be in the house of the Lord as often as you can. I don't understand people who ask why they should be in every service..... my question to them is always "Why wouldn't you want to be in every service you can?" Psalms 122 1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. (My annual post is now done! 😊)

My brother and sister in law live in Riverview FL, as are my niece and her husband. I talked to my brother this morning and he said the storm surge was really bad but that they are okay. My sister in Augusta Georgia called at 3AM and said they had sustained winds of 65 mph with gusts up to 95 mph. The power is out. My BIL is using his Police radio to keep track of what's going on. They had to have a lady my sister takes care of in their home as she was very fearful. A lot of damage in their area. We've had some flooding here. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you BT -

A realtor friend of mine was just given a diagnosis of terminal cancer. They've given him six months to a year to live. He's saved and is active in several different forms of ministry as he's able. He's just 3 days older than I am. We're both associated with the Cowboy Church movement. His son Harley was the one that I had requested prayer for last year after he was shot 5 times. This has come as a shock to many of us, and has probably hit a little closer to home for me as I have been given from 5-7 years because of my lungs. Please pray for Steve that he'll continue serving the Lord and not become discouraged. Thank you BT
