That's right, you probably did. And that is why - translations. As I have found, those who don't see the other evidence are typically those who only see the verses pointed out to them in Sunday School. They are never shown those who prove otherwise.

We have a really difficult time understanding life in a Patriarchal society. If the Patriarch of a house decided to believe in Yeshua and be baptized, it would seem normal to baptize everyone in the house. After all, when the Old Covenant was initiated, Yahweh required all males in the house to...

Well, sir, I think we are witnessing that our desire to fix things NOW drives us to believe that it CAN be fixed now. The judicial system, in my view, has lost the concept of a fair and speedy trial. The mountains of files, papers, and submissions serve to make painful so many things that...

Now, its just that people won't want to see that there is much more evidence against. As scripture gets translated, support "for" is inserted.

It would be a conflict of depending on God to give a person truth when the student at bible college depends on the professor to provide it. But, that is what happens. We are so engaged in believing the words of men rather than waiting on God to give us the truth. Believing the words of man is...

No, Hebrews 1:8 does not say Jesus is God- in the original anyway. Both from the immediate context and with the presence of translation problems, there are reasons why this verse is not calling Jesus “God” nor should it be translated, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.” 1. First...

As for anything happening quickly in our court systems, this whole conversation could last through next year. However, I did find a couple opinions about potential appeals: "He could raise an issue with respect to what's called the 'bump up.' That is what made this a felony as opposed to a...

Selective enforcement of laws has been active for many years already. Creating felonies out of thin air seems to be new. (Isn't it interesting that we have a term like "Trumped up charges?") If we have not prepared for the backlash that's coming, we better get busy. The label "Christian" has...

Yes sir, I have found that "the cost" is not such a burden any more. Looking back, the "cost" has been a blessing.

So, the Jewish concept of pre-existence is unknown to you. Ps 2:9–12 Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.’ And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth, Serve ye Jehovah with...

Oh, I listen and I read. Then, I pray and ask Yahweh for truth. Our world is full of "smart guys with degrees." It is also full of bad theology presented as doctrine. I enjoy group scripture studies where views are proposed and researched as a group. Never, though, do any of the group declare...

Well, that makes two of us who have been trained. I don't really understand your point here? Are you conflicted with the idea of performing hermeneutics that require additional research to understand? Or, are you accusing me of trying to correct the word of God?

I have family that have heard the salvation story. The like the idea of the "gift." What they don't like is knowing that the way they are living will not fit into a lifestyle devoted to God and in obedience to all the Jesus commanded. For them, that "gift" has a price. Despite my telling them...

So, you have never seen any contradictory passages in your bible? May I suggest that you get yourself a copy of a book called "Hard Sayings of the Bible." In it, not only will you see those passages that contradict, you'll see "experts" dance all around trying to explain some of them. But...

I have read the writings of those who have graduate degrees from seminaries and have seen how much they look like word-smiths in their writings. They ignore the elephants in the room of certain topics - or skip over the topics - period. It took time for me to accept that the things I had both...

Well, sir, we have travelled the same path.

Oh, I worked for a long time to find evidence that it was not "just a book." I finally got my eyes opened the the fact that it was supernatural. The only negative regarding the bible is that we - the believers - intentionally remain ignorant on all that the bible says. The "why" is going to be...

The persons who controls the news media is able to control the thoughts of the person who clings to it as "the truth." Those who think for themselves after their own investigation become the enemies of the persons who control the media. If we are not preparing to protect and to provide for...

At some point, as one learns to shake off those doctrines "enforced" by denominations to permit God to give them the truth provided in the total of scripture, local churches may well be found, if not lacking, but counter to scriptural study. Topics become prohibited for fear of making the weak...

So, do we actually believe that God will teach us and we need no other teachers? If we believe that biblical statement, why do we have denominations? Is it no obvious that people do not allow the time and effort with petitions to God himself to give them understanding? What I think I am seeing...
