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…

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?

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…

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…

Seeing Jim was researching me, I found a new site that references me, and reposts one of my articles from my web site. SEE http://www.hamishkandavid.org/id55.html It might not be Baptist but it is Christian, and dancing before the Lord is scriptural, and NO I am not a secret Pentecostal, sneaking in unawares. Just a Christian Here. You can either use this information to help and enlighten you or use it as further evidence against me. Your choice, but Thanks Jim for making me read some new LINKS... either for me or against me. Onward Christian Soldiers. Bit please if responding do respond objectively about dancing rather than about me as a person.. Than…

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. …

Ezra 6:15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. Ezra 7:1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, Ezra 7:7 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. According to the commonly taught chronology, there are more than 80 years between chapters six and seven. Can this be so?

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…

Genesis 6: 1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they werefair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was…

- Hello; and welcome to the very first book of the Bible. As of today's date, I'm 74 years old; and an on-going student of the Bible since 1968 via sermons, seminars, lectures, Sunday school classes, radio Bible programs, and various authors of a number of Bible-related books. Fifty-plus years of Bible under my belt hasn't made me an authority; but they've at least made me competent enough to compose a home-spun journey thru Genesis; practically verse by verse from the origin of the cosmos to Joseph's burial in Egypt. I've experienced varying degrees of success with this particular topic. On some forums, it's attracted literally thousands of v…

So i am pretty sure it is from my upbringing in the Baptist faith but just in case your thought on Jesus the Only Begotten Son of God; would be helpful. My understanding is Jesus became the Only Begotten Son at His First Coming. But I know many believe Jesus has been the Son before time began; eternal Sonship which I find to be beyond my understanding. Apreciate any thoughts.

- The Four Spiritual Laws is the title of an outreach booklet authored in 1952 by Campus Crusade for Christ founder Dr. Bill Bright. The information contained therein is okay as far as it goes; but not an adequate code of conduct for new Christians just starting out and wondering what's expected of them. Follow me down the rabbit hole and I'll show you; day by day, and little by little. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Acts 15:20a . .

- I frequently encounter people online who are interested in reading some of the Bible but don't know where to begin. Well; I suggest the little books of Ruth and Esther. They're brief and they're entertaining. And afterwards; maybe just enough chapters of Matthew and Luke to get a first-hand look at the Christmas story. For some people: that's more than enough Bible to satisfy their curiosity. Q: Where can I get a Bible? A: Bibles can be purchased at any well-stocked book store like Barnes & Noble. Christian book stores are another source and can usually be found listed in the Yellow Pages along with regular types …

I'm not sure if this is the right place, or if it has been discussed before but here goes... I read recently that one can read the Bible through, at moderate reading speed, in 80 hours. Therefore, half hour spent daily just reading it systematically would get one through it in 160 days. However, I wonder if it is wise to read it through from Genesis to Revelation as it means that one doesn't come to the NT for some time. What do y'all think?

As we have seen in some other threads, Les teaches two gospels, (grace vs kingdom or gentile vs jew) we know there is only one. Also we have learned he teaches two creations. Now we find out the King James Version is wrong and Adam gave up a gonad to create Woman. Keep in the back of your mind Les teaches this on TV and if you disagree with his ideas on the verses you are not "rightly dividing" the scriptures. (right in my own eyes dividing) We believe the Bible, it says rib so we believe rib. Nothing fancy, nothing added to scriptures. Its sad to see Les who knows the scriptures so well not being satisfied and adding leaven. This could be anyone of us so bewar…

http://www.baptistpillar.com/article_609a.html "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all." Gen. 14:18-20. This text gives the first record of tithing, and it was some four hundred years before the giving of the Law of Moses, for Abraham lived over four hundred years before Moses, Gal. 3:16-17. However, nothing is said in the Genesis text to show that this was a new thing even in Abraham's day…

Journey between Joppa and Caesarea

I'm trying to figure travel time from Caesarea to Joppa to Caesarea in Acts 10. Day 1 Acts 10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. Acts 10:8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. Day 2 Acts 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: ------------------------------------------------------------------- How would servants and a soldier travel, by foot, by beast, by cart?

¶ Simon Peter sayd vnto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Iesus answered him, Whither I goe, thou canst not follow me now: but thou shalt follow me afterwards. Uerily, verily I say vnto thee, whē thou wast yong, thou girdedst thy selfe, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carie thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 This spake hee, signifying by what death he should glorifie God. And when he had spoken this, he sayth vnto him, Follow me. 1611 King James Bible Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me…

I started this topic in response to one of the same topic, of when the church began. It had a lot of replies and instead of reading them all and replying with a large response or multiple comments I decided to use my time to write a study on this subject as im still new here and would like to gain more fellowship. That said, pardon me if these things im bringing up have been covered / answered. Still its good to revisit the doctrines of the Bible and understand where each of us believers are coming from and exhort one another, or correct error in meekness. ( James 3:13 ). First, I've held the view for a while that the church began at Pentecost, when the disciples wer…
