81 | KJV vs "New Age Bible Versions"? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Radioman2 | 98978 | ||
Apparently the goal of some on this forum is contained in the first part of the verse: "I determined to know nothing." And they have succeeded. | ||||||
82 | KJV vs "New Age Bible Versions"? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Radioman2 | 98905 | ||
If you are of that opinion...remain so ____________________ "It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others." ____________________ "In order to be able to expound the Scriptures, and as an aid to your pulpit studies, you will need to be familiar with the commentators: a glorious army, let me tell you, whose acquaintance will be your delight and profit. Of course, you are not such wiseacres as to think or say that you can expound Scripture without assistance from the works of divines and learned men who have labored before you in the field of exposition. If you are of that opinion, pray remain so, for you are not worth the trouble of conversion, and like a little coterie who think with you, would resent the attempt as an insult to your infallibility. It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others. " - C. H. Spurgeon --Radioman2 |

'The Prayer of Jabez, a book based on a passage in the Old Testament , has sold four million copies in America with the message that greed is Godly It is a message that has struck a welcome chord with both well-to-do and cash-strapped Americans: greediness is next to Godliness. That is why a slim volume has sold four million copies - even more, in some states, than Bridget Jones's Diary. 'The Prayer of Jabez has been the publishing sensation of the year, which is unusual for a work of biblical exposition - especially one that deals with Chronicles, a stretch of the Old Testament as arid and hard to cross as the Gobi Desert. 'Of course, there is a gimmick: Jabez prayed for more cows, more sheep and more land; and by updating his prayer, modern Americans believe they will get more money. 'It has worked for the author, Bruce H. Wilkinson, an Atlanta evangelist whose organisation ''Walk Thru the Bible'' has grown steadily for the past 30 years: he claims it is represented in 40 countries.'

Hank: Good observation! :-) To whom it may concern, my next question: How is it that Paul and James can both contradict each other and not contradict each other at the same time? Maybe I should ask Nostradamus, Shirley MacLaine, or Stephen King. --Radioman2 |

Joe: Good points, well stated. You're so right -- anyone can make an assertion, but asserting something doesn't make it so. And I don't know about you, but whenever I wish to learn something about the gospel of Jesus Christ, I always check sci-fi magazines, movies, comic books, cartoon shows on TV, interviews with Carl Sagan, etc. All of these are gold mines of Biblical truth. Yeah, right! --Radioman2 |

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. If it isn't free, it's not a gift. For example, wages are not a gift. Wages are earned. So is it a gift or is it wages? Nowhere do the apostles or prophets teach that salvation is earned or merited. We are saved by Grace (God's UNMERITED favor). Before you try to remove the mote that is in Hank's eye, better deal with the beam that is in your own. --Radioman2 |

Dachande: I'll give you an even simpler answer. Because that's how many God wanted. That's how many gospels God (the sovereign Author of the Bible) chose, according to the good pleasure of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself. --Radioman2 |

97 | Christ comes in kingdom power at the End | Mark 9:1 | Radioman2 | 97822 | ||
To God a day is *AS* a thousand years; but a day *IS* evening and morning -- 24 hours. A day is the time of light between one night and the next; the period of rotation of a planet (as earth) or a moon on its axis; the mean solar day of 24 hours beginning at mean midnight. 2 Peter 3:8 (ESV) But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Psalm 90:4 (ESV) For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. Genesis 1:5 (ESV) God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. The concept of one day as a thousand years has been misused to justify all kinds of questionable teaching regarding creation, prophecy, and other subjects in which time is a factor. --Radioman2 |

99 | Measuring "The Message" | Acts 17:11 | Radioman2 | 97775 | ||
MEASURING "THE MESSAGE" (Eugene Peterson's The Message (NavPress)) ____________________ '...while the phrase "the Message" is Eugene Peterson's translation of "the Gospel," not everything in The Message should be treated as gospel.' ____________________ 'So how are we to view The Message? It is an expansive paraphrase that is not so labeled, as is The Living Bible. Beset with inconsistencies, its idiom is not always "street language"; its terminology is often idiosyncratic to its author. Compared by noted literary figures to the groundbreaking translation of J. B. Phillips, I believe The Message often lacks Phillips's creativity and conciseness. 'In the introduction, Eugene Peterson compares his pastoral ministry to his work as a translator: "I stood at the border between two languages, biblical Greek and everyday English, acting as a translator, providing the right phrases, getting the right words so that the men and women to whom I was pastor could find their way around and get along in this world" (p. 7). Much of The Message reads like a sermon: text plus interpretation and application. Unlike a sermon, however, the reader does not know where the text ends and the sermon begins. 'Because of its interpretive and idiosyncratic nature, The Message should not be used for study. If read for enlightenment or entertainment, the reader should follow the advice of Saint Augustine, as quoted in the original preface to the KJV, "Variety of translations is profitable for finding out the sense of the Scriptures." Acts 17:11 commends the Bereans for evaluating Paul's teaching with the Old Testament Scriptures. In the same spirit, The Message needs to be evaluated against more consistent and traditional translations, especially when its renderings evoke a response such as, "I didn't know the Bible said that!" or, "Now I understand what it means." 'In sum: while the phrase "the Message" is Eugene Peterson's translation of "the Gospel," not everything in The Message should be treated as gospel.' — Reviewed by John R. Kohlenberger III John R. Kohlenberger III is the author or co-editor of 25 biblical reference books, including Words about the Word: A Guide to Choosing and Using Your Bible (Zondervan), All about Bibles (Oxford University Press), The NIV Exhaustive Concordance and The Greek New Testament: UBS4 With NRSV and NIV (Zondervan). ____________________ STATEMENT DB130, BOOK REVIEW, A SUMMARY CRITIQUE: The Message by Eugene Peterson (www.equip.org/free/DB130.htm) |

100 | Is the UPC a Christian Church? | Matt 24:11 | Radioman2 | 97552 | ||
The word used in the quote was not Catholic (capital C); it was catholic (lower case c). Used in the quote it does NOT mean the Roman Catholic Church. It merely carries the original meaning of the word catholic. In the quote 'catholic' means 'universal.' As I said earlier, as long as you are defining the key words, it is impossible for you to be wrong or mistaken. |
