Bible Note: Ok my friend. If it is your desire, you have every right to focus on that one particular verse, and pay absolutely no attention to the others I have quoted. I can't imagine one even having read the book of Romans and not understood what I have "QUOTED from scripture." I am also aware of various "translators" who aren't in the least biblical in their translations. Your having "translated the entire letter to the Romans," yet having no more understanding of salvation than you profess puts me in mind of the Pharisees and Sadducees. I mean this not as an insult, for I am sure that you are sincere in what you say and think. I am also sure that there were Pharisees and Sadducees that were just as sincere. I give PRAISE TO GOD ALMIGHTY that you have noticed that "This kind of response seems to be coming more and more frequently on the forum over the last few weeks," for this is EXACTLY what I have been preaching herein for past few weeks. That one should STUDY the word for themselves as it says in 2Ti 2:15 KJV "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." And that one should follow a man of God, preferably their Pastor, and go to him rather than such false prophets as are running rampant on sights such as this and throughout the web. I thank God also, that to date, all who I have personally corresponded with on THIS PARTICULAR sight have been (serious) where the word of God is concerned. We have averted arguments, agreed, disagreed, and agreed to disagree. I should hope that you could be included in this statement. It is up to you, for I will not back off from the word. Not my interpretation is THE WORD, for the word IS my interpretation. I depend on the Holy Spirit and those inspired and anointed of God, proven such over the century’s, for scriptural translation Your statement that "When one can't explain their position, or Scripture totally teaches something other than their position," proves that you have "translated more than just the book of Romans." It is apparent that you have "translated" it into something that it isn't. Anyone, no matter how ignorant, who has read the posts to which your note is attached, can plainly see your refusal to accept or understand "SCRIPTURE." If you would rather use your personal so called "translation," then if you insist on sharing your ignorance, you should expect that those who recognize it as such will, at least make an attempt to clarify what you have so badly distorted.
