Bible Question:
Mat 23:24 (KJV) Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. I do not accept the translation you quoted, for it changes the sense. It is obvious that Jesus was denouncing them for making molehills out of mountains and mountains out of molehills - but the translation (if it can be called that) you quoted has Jesus denouncing people who actually pay attention to what they read, hear and say. It seems to have been but a short step for you - from objections to insults. Why? I was only explaining WHY I went back to the KJV - and I already declared that the KJV could use some updating of the language and some clarification. The NASB pleases me well in some places where the KJV is obscure - but I cannot and will not acknowledge as "auhority" any Bible that simply deletes entire sentences from the text. Why do you make it a crime, that I answer promptly? SOMEONE suggested that I might be guilty of "adding to the word of God" if I acknowledge 1 John 5:7 as genuine and canonical - well that sets up a very interesting contest for us all to take sides on.... We have tacitly agreed that whoever either ADDS TO or TAKES AWAY FROM the Word of God is in DAMNABLY big trouble - as in "damnation"..... OK - I agree. Rev 22:18-19 (KJV) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. SO - at the risk of DAMNATION, make your choice! I say that 1 John 5:7 IS part of God's Holy Word, and it was there before I got here, anyway. When I was converted to Christ - 1 John 5:7 was in the Bible that I began to read. I am serenely confident that 1 John 5:7 BELONGS in God's Bible because God put it there. SO NOW it's your turn to DECLARE - Well, that's enough. Galatians 4:16 justanotherchristian www.apostasynow.com |
Bible Answer: Hi "justanotherchristian"--this post says to me that I must hold certain positions re: "The book" I know the bible is God's word and I believe in JESUS as His son .You say-"at the risk of Damnation make your choice"-- My choice is made -I stand with HIM and his work-fully understanding that He is in chsrge and that I must seek HIM--not only His word but "the living word Himself"-in Him mkm9 |
