Sola Scriptura has spawned how many denominations? And we believe that it is a valid philosophy where people are not actually following it? Some of those who have tried to have been accused of...
That being the case, I'd bet that the United Nations really has a big problem with their translation staff. Their translator's political agendas would really cause problems, and computer translation...
Well, actually, I am not, but thanks anyway.
But then, maybe again that some of the other denominations hasn't taught themselves that ecstatic outbursts which have no meaning for anyone is a message from God. Some denominations do, and that is...
And I was the same way. I really do understand. May God bless you in your walk.
Been gone a couple days doing church work, sorry I haven't kept up.
If Paul knew that some people were emotionally babbling and wanted them to be silent, perhaps he felt that a rule should be...
Without taking over the thread, may I offer a personal experience similar to this?
I left a church when pride, arrogance, and stubbornness led the ministry leader to tell me to ignore certain...
Some people just translate.
Perhaps we should rethink this issue.
Paul did not stop them from doing their speaking in tongues one after another and another and disrupting the church service. Apparently, these people had no...
Lots of truth here. Why is it that so many want their church to have a king - called a Pastor? Why do Pastors not want Elders who share the burden of spiritual leadership and teaching. Instead,...
So, Brother Paul, do you think Angels choose what they become and that they can make themselves into men with the ability to impregnate females? They did it in disobedience to God? I was not even...
Please show me the scriptures that told you that Angels were given the ability to mate. If you refer to the same story of the Nephilim, I'm afraid that still leaves me wanting something that tells...
Yes, brother, the truth is all I want. Sometimes, we don't necessarily get that from a translator who has his own agenda.
My brother, as I have told you before: I am not a cessationist. I do believe that God gives the gift of tongues to those who can use it to do His will.
I also saw where Paul told the people in...
I can find commentaries that I think are weak or distorted, but then again, I could be wrong, too.
It may actually be better if a manuscript is translated by an Atheist. At least then there would...
Apparently, it is difficult for some to see that Paul's intent in that chapter was to discourage the behavior, not encourage the behavior.
This practice causes confusion in the church. Nobody is...
Look, guys, it is fine with me if you see man = male as far as when an Angel appears. However, I would need to see that fallen angels appearing on Earth were permitted to become males in order to...
The perversion of marriage by secular government does little to establish marriage as not a covenant made before God. He sees what we do. A government that takes an abomination before God and tries...
We are confusing the appearance as men with actually being males.
When it comes to unsupported opinion, there is a lot of that going on.
Nowhere in this message do I see Paul encouraging anyone to babble in church:
1 Cor, 14: 2 For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his...
The problem is not what Paul said. The problem is in how we understand what Paul was saying.
Where in the bible does it ever tell us to build ourselves up? When did Jesus say that we are to...
If my spirit wants to speak to God, he does not need my tongue.
My dictionary tells me that the verse you present in 1 Cor 14:4 actually means "builds himself up" not "edifies himself." It does...
I acknowledge that there are things that I do not know. But then, that doesn't mean that I don't have questions as to how others have come to know things.
The term man in the bible also refers to...
Not to sidetrack too far, Tony, but does your statement indicate that you believe that there are translators who do not believe the scriptures were the infallible Word of God? If so, how would you...
Are we speaking of the news coverage of the trial or the news coverage of the conviction? It may be that some are referring to coverage of one and the other speaking of the end of the trial.
...
That is what I did. Works well for me, though I also have the NASB in a study bible.
If I am spouting words that nobody understands and making people uncomfortable, perhaps I should keep quiet. If nobody understands, nobody benefits from my words. If I don't understand what I am...
I could have said that, but then it would lead to many more questions about how could you know just by your "feelings?" I know when God works in my life, and I believe that God would not lead me...
What makes anyone believe that Angels are male? What makes us think that they have the ability to reproduce? They are created beings, not born of another Angel. It would appear then that they are...
Perhaps it would be easier to find those scriptures where Jesus told us who is NOT going to see the Kingdom of God. Those people will not be saved.
It may also help to see what Jesus said about...
