NASB | 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me [as an apostle] to baptize, but [commissioned and empowered me] to preach the good news [of salvation]--not with clever and eloquent speech [as an orator], so that the cross of Christ would not be made ineffective [deprived of its saving power]. |
Subject: John 3:1-7 how can you say it's not true |
Bible Note: compudex: You offer simple advice, and on the surface you are right. If only there were a tollerance for one another. The problem is that there are some immature selfish people who insist they are right. Unless it's their way of understanding then you belief about baptism is wrong and you are not really saved. That dogmatic misunderstanding of Scripture is NOT in keeping with BASIC Christianity 101. There are some issues that there is no way to even suggest a different view of Scripture ie. Virgin birth of Jesus, His divinity, and His life ater death, just to name a few. When you ask us to just all get along, in some cases the people join the Forum just to stirr up the dung in their hearts. From the heart the mouth speaks. There is no reason to be rude, disrespectful, or belittling anyone. I personally attempt to abide by Lockmans wishes or I will leave respectfully. There is a young female who is pushing demominational bias that should be asked to leave. Perhaps soon the right people will notice. Blessings. justme |
