   I am a Catholic who inerprets the Bible in my own way. I could care less how Priests, Bishops, Cardinals and the Pope interpret the Bible because I am not an uneducated fool blindly following and believing every Catholic teaching without question. I am a college graduate who thinks logically and analytically and who has ascertained which Catholic doctrines are logical and scriptural and should be adhered to, which Catholic doctrines are illogical and unscriptural and should be dispensed with, which parts of the Mass are logical and scriptural and should be participated in and which parts of the Mass are illogical and unscriptural and should not be participated in. And Cat…

   The King James--Is it the only Bible? 1 2 3 4

   Okay, I figured I'd go ahead and ask this question about the King James. I've never been certain that the King James is the only correct version. The main reason for that, is because alot of the arguments I heard where fundamentally flawed(ie, most of the arguments Riplinger and Ruckman make). I'm King James preferred, as opposed to Only. It's the version I grew up on, so I'm very familiar with it, which is the main reason I use it. The church I used to go to, most everybody had a different version. At that church, I normally used either my King James, or my New King James versions. I've read through some of the NIV, but not enough to have really made a judgement call on …

   Is your Bible "Appointed to be read in churches."

   Most publishers don't include the Dedicatory in Bibles anymore... Why? It's "offensive" they say. But in some KJV Bibles (Cambridge for one), you will still find this in the Dedicatory... "So that if, on the one side, we shall be traduced by Popish Persons at home or abroad.... whom they desire still to keep in ignorance and darkness.." Cambridge is also one of the few publishers that still include "Appointed to be read in churches." on the introductory page. Why was "Appointed to be read in churches?" bound in every bible? Because the chruch leadership (Rome) had forbidden the reading of the word by common man. The leadership wanted to be able to tell the common …

   Psalm 75:2 - very different meanings

   Psalm 75:2 Very different meanings. "WHEN I SHALL RECEIVE THE CONGREGATION I will judge uprightly. The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved...For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup...the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them...All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted." Psalm 75:2-10 Here is a case where the King James Bible is virtually alone in the true meaning of the text. I say this because I believe the King James Bible to be the only pure and perfect words of God in the English language. If you read the entire Psalm in context, you will see that it is a prophetic Psalm…

    Joshua 19:2 How many cities? -blunder in many bibles

    Judges 19:2 How many cities? Error in many bible versions. In Judges 19:1-6 we read of the lots being cast for the inheritance of the children of Simeon. Notice the number of the cities mentioned - 13 - and then number of cities listed in such versions as the NASB 1972-1977, Geneva, Bishops' bible, Coverdale, Wycliffe, RSV, NRSV, ESV and the Catholic Douay version. The ever changing NASB has gone through 9 or 10 revisions so far, and each time they change textual readings of both the Old and New Testament, as well as their English translation. The 1972 and 1977 editions of the NASB say: "Beersheba AND Sheba, and....", but in 1995 the latest NASB has now corrected its …

    I am confused and hope someone can help me. Am I correct to think from Neh 5:14 that Nehemiah had been in Jerusalem rebuilding the walls for 12 yrs? But in Neh 6:14 it says the walls were built in 52 days. Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance. I know it is me that is confused and not the KJV.

    2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Here Paul tells Timothy that the written Scriptures that he has been reading and studying from (which were copies or translations of the original Hebrew Scriptures) are given by inspiration of God. I believe he isn't just stating that God gave them by inspi…

    Is the KJV "Inspired Scripture?" 1 2 3 4

    Is the KJV "Inspired Scripture?" Often it is stated that the King James Bible can't be "inspired scripture" because copies and translations can't be "inspired" - only the "originals" are inspired. Even some supposed KJV advocates will only go so far as to claim that the KJV is "preserved," but not inspired. Of course, others claim neither preservation, nor inspiration for the Authorized Bible. INSPIRATION: Let's look at what the word of God says about inspiration and preservation: 2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: "Scripture" is what God gave …

    How Many Kinds Of Love? 1 2 3 4 5

    • 73 replies
    • 4k views

    It is commonly said that there are 3 kinds of love: Agape - the kind that God shows us - I Corinthians 13 Phileo - brotherly love, friendship Eros - erotic, sexual love However, what would you call the kind of love that David and Jonathan had for each other? The Bible says their hearts were knit together and that they loved each other so fervently, so deeply, it surpassed the love of women. Is this deep phileo combined with agape? What I mean is, I can be good friends with someone or I can treat someone according to I Cor. 13 and love them in that way but those by themselves don't seem to be precisely what David and Jonathan had.

John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Who are these branches that are taken away and cast forth...the unsaved or unproductive Christians?
