Why Read the King James Bible?
The KJV is overwhelmingly, IMHO, the most accurate translation of the Bible. It is more than that, but for the purposes of responding to your question it is good enough. The KJV is written in the same English you speak today. You may have to increase your vocabulary as you read, but that is a […]
Famine of Hearing the Word of the LORD
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to […]
John 12:27 vs Luke 22:42Contradicts??
Are John 12:27 and Luke 22:42 contradictions? Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. John 12:27 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. Luke 22:42 […]
Quotes on the Bible
To read the Bible is of itself a laudable occupation and can scarcely fail of being a useful employment of time; but the habit of reflecting upon what you have read is equally essential as that of reading itself, to give it all the efficacy of which it is susceptible. So great is my veneration […]
An All-Loving God Creates Evil?
Why would an all-loving god create evil? He must not be all-loving then. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45:7 I can find no reference within Scripture to God being “All-Loving”. We are made in God’s image, what emotions we […]
Age of Adulthood
The question arises from time to time as to what age does God consider a human being an adult in The Bible? Exodus 30:14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD. Numbers 1:2-3 Take ye the sum of all the […]
Snakes with Four Legs
Was Genesis 3:14 the early Bible writers way of explaining the origin of snakes and the creature in the garden was originally a lizard? Once again God gave men enough rope to hang themselves and then shows them up. Fossil snakes have been found with four legs. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/a-fossil-snake-with-four-legs Snakes did have legs: ScienceDaily
How to Pray for Atheist?
I pray to God every day to forgive atheists, but he still says that they must burn for eternity. What should I do? Pray that God would send the gospel far and wide to give all a chance to hear and believe if they will do so. Romans 10:13-14 For whosoever shall call upon the […]
How to Determine Purpose?
Determining God’s purpose is a complicated issue. I can only briefly describe how a purposeful life is determined, which I believe to be correct according to the Bible. I will be speaking in general terms. Very rarely, it would seem from Scripture, does the Lord call one for his service from the womb. Jeremiah was […]
The Meaning of Verse Numbers
The Bible has 66 books, divided into 1,189 chapters consisting of 31,173 verses. The Bible was divided into chapters by Stephen Langton about 1228. The Old Testament was divided into verses by a Jewish rabbi by the name of Nathan in 1448, and the New Testament by Robert Estienne, aka Stephanus, in 1551. The first […]
Open Theology
There are four mainline theologies: Reformed (Calvinism), Classical Arminianism, Neo-Arminianism, and Open Theology, sometimes called Open Theism. The one main difference between them is their view of history and the foreknowledge of God. Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the […]
Genesis 3:14
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: Genesis 3:14 The argument over this verse is that the snake never […]
Genesis 1:3
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:3 You always get someone who will state that the Bible is a fable as you can’t have light the first day and the sun being made on the fourth day. The sun is not needed for light. Revelation 22:5 And there shall […]
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 In the first verse of the Bible, if the correct one is used, heaven is singular. God created one heaven and dwelt within it. Certain events took place and God destroyed it. Then, in the process of restoring it, you end Chapter 1 […]
Joshua 23:14
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing […]
