    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Yes. I never murdered anyone ... so that was one "commandment of God" that I kept. However, I was an atheist, so "obeying god (the invisible unicorn)" never entered my mind as a motivation. In addition, I hated a great many people, so as Jesus later explained, I am still "guilty of murder in...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    People that say crazy things like this would probably be shocked at how little the two manuscripts differ from one another. (FYI: Absolutely NO biblical doctrines are impacted.) So list 3 verses impacted by the TR vs MGNT manuscript traditions and we will examine them in detail. Here is a...

    You win. My facts are powerless before your determined ignorance. You are able to spout nonsense faster than I can correct you with the truth.

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    Since we are asking MY OPINION, I favor OLDER Copies above NEWER copies rather than "majority" (greatest number) of copies. Here is my logic. Suppose I wanted to recreate the original first printing of "Hop On Pop" by Dr Seuss by going to every public library in my state and checking out every...

    :rolleyes: Have you seen the autographs to compare the KJV to? [I have seen manuscripts that predate the Textus Recepticus to compare it to and determine that the TR has errors introduced by copyists which were carried over into the KJV that was translated in part from the TR into English ...

    Peter had your number and warned us about teaching like that: 2 Peter 2:1 [KJV] But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves...

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    No, I teach sinners to place their trust in an error-free Savior. The Bible is just a book about Him. Which bible is “error free”?

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    MGNT is closest to the Autographs, and the autographs are the pure word of God. (Although Jesus is the Word of God and can be found in any of the translations that I listed … or, absent ‘eyes to see’ courtesy of the Holy Sprit, none of the translations).

    Blue Letter Bible (dot) org ”In a multitude of counselors, there is wisdom.” [I prefer to read multiple translations to compare them and then go to the “Interlinear” and the ”Dictionaries” and “Lexicons” when there are significant differences to see for myself WHY there are significant...

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    Not really. It ignores the fact that the Septuagint OT differs from the Hebrew OT so the KJV based on the Greek OT is different from the OT found in the Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient Hebrew copies. He is using an English translation that has harmonized passages by changing the original...

    The AUTOGRAPHS do not exist any more. Copies using Koine Greek exist. Lexicons and Grammar texts in Koine Greek exist. Bibles created from the 99% of the manuscript words that agree (in Koine Greek) with footnotes noting the alternatives exist. You do know that the majority of manuscript...

    On the other hand, almost NOBODY has ever read the 1611 version. If they saw it, they would see how difficult the FONT used is to read and how DIFFERENT the basic shapes of even the letters are (not to mention the spelling). However most of the problems with the First Edition (1611) were...

    If you don’t want to change the Bible, then learn archaic Greek. If you are not reading the original Greek, then the Bible HAS been changed. The KJV was neither the first nor the most recent translation into English … it is just the official version of the Anglican Church and one of the most...
