1 | put 1Jn 5:7 BACK where it belongs! | 1 John 5:7 | Hank | 98674 | ||
justanotherchristian - Something I've never quite understood and on which perhaps you can cast some light: If God preserves His word via the KJV, which is in English, what about the billions of people round the world who don't read a word of English? And what happens, should the world stand another thousand years, when the English speaking peoples will understand no more of the Elizabethan-age English of the King James Bible than the modern reader of today understands of early English, which predates the KJV by at least 500 years and is all but incomprehensible to the reader of English who is not specifically trained in it? [Try reading "Beowulf" in its original Old English and tell me how you liked it. :-) ] --Hank | ||||||

The faith of Abraham proves the point I made in the previous post. Abraham believed God for a single and particular promise, and this FAITH was accounted unto him for righteousness. Now think about it - Abraham had no "Gospel doctrines" - all he did was affirm (strong in faith) that one thing that he got from God (about being the father of many nations) - and yet, THAT was accounted as SAVING FAITH! This can only be so IF that faith of Abraham in that singular matter was evidence that Abraham was "in touch" with the whole and entire revelation of Jesus Christ. Here we see that faith in any bonafide particular of God's revelation IMPLIES faith in all the rest of what God chooses to reveal. Liken it to a piece from a jig-saw puzzle that will only fit with a certain puzzle - it will NOT match and be harmonious with any but a certain puzzle. In this case, Abraham's simple faith in that one promise stands as testimony that HAD HE KNOWN MORE from Jesus or Peter or Jude - he (Abraham) would have embraced that knowledge as well, because it would be "just more of the SAME" from the One God. 2 Timothy 2:15 is MEANINGLESS unless we can settle on a fixed, reliable and unchangeable record of what God would "tell" the whole human race. I have a Dutch Brother (Holland) who translated THE GREAT DREAM into Dutch for publishing. Along the way, he checked every single scripture quotation from the KJV that I used in the English version of THE GREAT DREAM - not only against the Dutch - but he also parsed every central word in the Greek and Hebrew JUST TO MAKE SURE that I took no scriptures out of context and to make sure that I did not MISdefine any words. He says there was NOT ONE BIT OF DIFFERENCE!! In other words, his Dutch Bible says and sounds in Dutch EXACTLY like the KJV says and sounds in English. I just communicated with our Kenyan Brethren - they say that the Bibles in Kiswahil and Swahili they have over there BOTH have 1 John 5:7 in the text and it reads just like the 1769KJV. God took care of this business! Psa 119:89 (KJV) For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. justanotherchristian jac@jacglobal.net www.apostasynow.com |

JustAnotherChristian, The "faith of Abraham", as you state it, has absolutely nothing to do with the KJV. Also, we have many other verses besides 1 John 5:7 that prove that the Trinity is a Biblical doctrine: Matt. 3:16, Matt. 28:19, Luke 3:22, John 3:34-35, John 14:16-17, John 14:26, John 15:26, John 16:7, John 16:13-15, Acts 1:2, 1:4-5, Acts 2:33, Acts 10:36-38, Romans 1:3-4, 8:9-11, 8:26-27, 1 Cor. 12:3-6, 2 Cor. 1:21-22, 2 Cor. 5:5, 2 Cor. 13:14, Galatians 4:4,6, 2 Thess. 2:13-14, 2 Thess. 2:16, 1 Tim. 3:16, Titus 3:4-6, Hebrews 9:14, 1 Peter 1:2, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 5:6-7 Blessings to you, Makarios |
