“Wrong” is incorrect. There are probably lots of words that the KJV got wrong … none of them significant, but small changes based on 500 years of additional manuscripts discovered many hundreds of years older than the oldest copies available in 1611. The language drift of words in English is...

No. In other words, ”Ghost” meant “Spirit” in 1611 when the KJV was published and in 2023, “Ghost” and “Spirit” now mean different things because the meaning of the word “Ghost” has changed over the 400 years from 1600 to 1900.

The only Bible version (translation) to use "Holy Ghost" is the KJV. The newer versions (translations) were published after 1900 while the KJV was published in 1611. I think it reasonable that "ghost" is one of MANY words whose range of meanings has drifted from when Shakespeare used it to...

“You think you are getting away with it, but you are not. Everybody dies and one day it will be your turn. Then the bill comes due on all the crap you did that you knew was wrong and did anyway.” ”Bottom line, either your mouth saves you by claiming Jesus is God and your heart makes you right...

So are you patiently waiting for your chance to become a god of your own planet and "savior" of the people that you fathered to inhabit your personal planet, like these other "Christians" teach God was made and fathered the human race on this world (and they will become after death)? I think a...

If anyone needs help with PL/1 on an IBM 360 … I’m your man! (However, since I don’t think either PL/1 or IBM 360 Computers exist outside of museums … I don’t expect any takers.) :cool: [I’ll just pray for you instead … the interface still works as well as the first day!]

Let's set the Catholics aside for a moment [since they have 'jumped the shark' with their mariology] and focus on Martin Luther (founder of the Lutheran Church and a giant during the Reformation). Luther would have argued (when he was alive) that "this man" got a lot of things wrong [Joseph was...

[Act 25:21 NIV] 21 But when Paul made his appeal to be held over for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar." Was Paul no longer "held over" as soon as he was loaded on the boat and "sent"? ... UNTIL does not mean the condition must end after, only that it...

Matthew 1:25 does not actually SAY that Joseph KNEW Mary ... Matthew emphasizes the VIRGIN BIRTH by SAYING that Joseph DID NOT KNOW MARY before Jesus was born. Go and exegete Matthew 12:20 with your same rules and tell me if the REED MUST BE BROKEN after victory?

While I agree that Mary and Joseph likely consummated their marriage AFTER Jesus was born, the word "til" cannot be used to definitively proclaim that the situation changed after Jesus was born (in either the Greek or in English). I offer another verse from the same Gospel for your...

Let’s get personal for a moment. NO, I am not asking you to share things that I have no right to know, but am offering to share things that you have no business asking me (but I choose to share in case it might benefit you). I made it to almost 40 years old with almost no dating experience. I...

It is intellectually and rhetorically dishonest to equate black people forced to use separate drinking fountains to a baker forced to bake cakes he finds offensive or be driven out of business. The similarity is that both the blacks and the baker had THEIR rights abrogated by the WHITES in the...

Then how will the law now take away the rights of these "NONE" children to "NOT RECEIVE" the gender reassignment that they are currently "NOT RECEIVING" without SB 254 prohibiting it? This is the flip side of the couple YOU cited that placed a child in a cage. There are already LAWS that...

Thank you. I stand corrected. Yes, that appears to be the function of SB 1580 ... to prevent targeted litigation for denial of elective services. It specifically includes protections for essential services and anti-discrimination. A clinic can either provide hormone therapy for gender...

I found the LGBQT accusations online with references to actual Legislation: Today, Gov. DeSantis signed HB 1069, which silences educators by prohibiting any instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity from Pre-K through 8th grade, SB 254, an extreme gender affirming care ban, and HB...

I doubt anyone can give you a specific Biblical reference to Gryphons in Heaven, but with that caveat ... your chances are much better in heaven than here on earth (look at the creatures that surround the throne [Ezekiel 1:4-14; Revelation 4:5-8] and a Gryphon is less "strange" than them) and...

I read Matthew 9 several times and have no idea why you posted an image of it with your question? :contemplate:

Jeremiah 29:11 [NLT] 11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Technically, the verse is speaking of the NATION rather than the INDIVIDUAL, but considering how things turned out … I think God was...

It would seem Pelagianism … Even if Adam had not sinned, he would have died. Adam's sin harmed only himself, not the human race. Children just born are in the same state as Adam before his fall. The whole human race neither dies through Adam's sin or death, nor rises again through the...

Anyone quoting a single verse has, by definition, taken it out of context. The simplest check for “context” is to actually read the “context” … you know, the other sentences in the same paragraph and the surrounding paragraphs in the same chapter. One can often find an overarching SUBJECT or...
