There is no single word in the Bible that corresponds exactly to our modern concept of hell.

Because our modern concept comes from a book that is a work of fiction.

1. Dante’s “Inferno”:
   • Dante Alighieri’s epic poem “Divine Comedy,” specifically the section called “Inferno,” significantly shaped the popular imagination of hell.
   • Written in the early 14th century, “Inferno” describes a journey through various circles of hell, each representing different sins and punishments.

But you were touting that group as authoritative, and less than four-tenths of one percent of them agree with you. You cans see what the majority says:

No, I was posting a link that claimed the majority of such scientists in the US disagreed man was the main cause. Not whether the international group thinks man contributed in some way. I think man probably makes a contribution. Nothing that we should worry about though.

The increase in global average surface temperature over the past half-century cannot be fully explained by natural climate variability, e.g., responses to Earth’s orbital changes over thousands of years, or natural climate forcing such as from solar or volcanic variability."

So their ability to know what the problem is has limits. Within those limits, the group (presumably outside the US, since the link I posted says the majority there disagree) they are unable to explain the trend using volcanoes and such.

The smart ones disagree. Plenty of those around as you have learned. Since there is widespread disagreement, then, will you admit that the sum package of opinions and prophesies are fairly worthless (as well as proven wrong in many cases)?

"It is a good time to be in the decarbonization business in the United States. The Inflation Reduction Act—with its $374 billion cornucopia of green incentives, subsidies, and grants—was designed to entice private companies to invest in the transition away from fossil fuels. Initial reports already suggest that the IRA may be working. An analysis by American Clean Power, a lobbying group of renewable-energy companies, indicates that even just the anticipation of its bounty catalyzed $40 billion in investments"

Lots of people are on the payroll of the climate agenda. No doubt some businesses being threatened would also hire some scientists to say what they want! After all, it isn't about science, it is about an appearance of science being on your side. If it were about science obviously we would not have the plethora of false prophets exposed, and the unending din and whine of dissent and difference of opinion from science

Pretending that the only ones making money are the ones questioning the blind rush to embrace and worship climate change is less than ridiculous. Your false prophets are making the big money.

Those 2 Prophesies are 1000 years apart.
Why are you not able to see that the 1 Cor 15:50-56 is a prophecy about the GWT Judgment, after the Millennium? When Death will be no more.
Revelation 21:4

Again; John 14:1-4 is 1000 years after the glorious Return

Only 1 Thess 4:17 and Acts 1:11 pertain to the one and only visible Return of King Jesus.

The soon to happen Day of the Lords fiery wrath is the next Prophesied event, which will commence all the end times.
There is no Bible support for such a crazy idea as a rapture removal. We must prove our faith by trusting in the Lord thru it all.

Why don't you see that that 1 Th 4:16-17 don't occur within the Trib or 2A, etc.? Acts 1:9-11 describes Jesus' ascent as from in the view of believers, only. He ascends by Himself and behind heavenly clouds and is in Heaven. The reverse is required for Acts 1:11. In 1 Th 4:16, Jesus descends by Himself. You won't even find that in the 2A and beyond. He's got angels with Him in the 2A (Matt 24:31). In 1 Th 4:17, we don't even see Jesus until we are in our glorified bodies (1 Cor 15:52) and we are raptured into the clouds Only then do we see and meet Jesus in the air.

I am aligning with those verses related to Acts 1:11. You are not aligning with them by adding the 2A, the MK and the GWTJ. All those require unbelievers to view Jesus, and that is NOT allowed in the next return of Jesus, per Acts 1:9-11.

1 Th 4:17 proves Jesus is behind heavenly clouds the whole time. We are raptured to Him. That is 1 Th 4:17 and John 14:3 talking. We are then in Heaven to be with the Lord forever. Your input of "atmospheric clouds" is not in alignment with heavenly clouds. Jesus doesn't go to Jerusalem in the rapture.

You cannot disprove any of this, because I am aligning with those verses. You want to twist them and reshape them and put them in time periods where all your errors violate Acts 1:11. I am asking you to see your errors, and finally see the truth.

What about the original language? Do you really trust King James to translate the Bible for you?

I have an ancestor that was a part of that.

John Rogers went on to print the second complete English Bible in 1537. What is unique about the work of Rogers is that this is the first Bible completely translated from the original Greek and Hebrew sources. Since it was printed using the alias name Thomas Matthew, it is commonly called the Matthew's Bible. John Rogers’ commitment to making the Scriptures accessible to the common people left a lasting impact on English Bible translation. His martyrdom stands as a testimony to his unwavering faith.

It might be more accurate to say that there are levels of understanding as to what the causes are that determine our actions.

Azumanga Daioh anime: Mr. Kimura being a creep. Man, this is why anime is a love-hate thing for me. This guy reminds me of the creepy priests/pastors or school teachers one hears on the news every so often. At least Mr. Kimura only gets 10 minutes of screen time on this show. People need to treat each other with dignity, and not crush on people that are young or can not consent.

You mean you don't talk to people who can rationally say someone did an action that was good? While acknowledging they also did a great deal of evil?

Do you mean when you say Trump is fascist that he is an Italian Fascist? Austro Clerical Fascist? But not a National Socialist? Do you even know what these terms mean?

So why the insistence on the KJV?

Click to expand...

My favorite promise is that God will give us the desires of our heart. For me I think we need to purify our Heart before God. I need to know exactly what I need to do and exactly what God is going to do.

The Bible says that God watches over His word to perform what He said He would do. I think this pertains to the KJV. The other translations are good for a commentary or easier for people to understand but the KJV has the full authority of the Bible. Lets look at Isaiah 41:10. A purely random verse. We are told do not be dismayed. But other translations say do not be anxious, do not be discouraged, do not tremble, do not be intimidated;

The Hebrew word rendered “dismay” in the Bible actually means “to look around in fear”. There are three promises here. God will help, God will strengthen, help and uphold with his righteous right hand.

These are five different words: dismay, anxious, discourage, tremble, intimidate and now I am confused as to what I am to do. Because this is a promise from God. If I do my part, He will do His. If I just use the one word in the KJV that makes it easier for me to know what God wants. WE can look at context, we can look at the law of first mention, we can look at the Hebrew.

Remember the promise is God will strengthen, help and uphold. So we want to be sure to do our part, so He will do HIs part of the promise.

There are over 5,000 promises in the Bible. For me it is very important to know exactly what God wants from me and exactly what He will do if I keep my part of the promise.

Thank you for all of your prayers, everyone. The move was successfully made on Thursday, and though I am now much poorer economically (moving companies are quite expensive), I am much, much happier. I was able to go out and get the mail on my own for the first time in years, and I recognize that it is the tiniest victory imaginable, but really just being able to do it is such a great blessing, I can't even explain it. Thank you. With all of my heart, I appreciate it.

Lord, please help TheApostleJohn find employment soon, in Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

1. I didn't say limited funds, I said I had no funding at all, completely broke bud. Not one single penny even. I don't know how I can make this any more clearer. I literally no money, no funding. Completely flat broke. Have to rely on family as I said before, for basic needs, like making sure I have food to eat. My last job was in 2004, from June to December that year as an usher at a local movie theater that went out of business a few months in December 2023. Its really very simple to understand, and is frustrating having to explain this several times to people each time I try to explain it.
2. I do have a wordpress account but I forgot my password for it I think, not sure lol.
3 - 6. Again overcoming shyness is going to be a big part of that, and plus again no funding I have (which means I cant do much).
Webinars, online tutorials, free courses, honestly I don't have enough of an attention span for that stuff, I'll be honest I mean I could try but, I have the issue of retaining the information in my brain once received (difficulty staying focused in high school was a big problem for me, averaged a 1.6 GPA as a result).
Its not that I'm trying to do it all at once, just rather as I said wanting to do things the legal way according to the laws in my state on how to start a business.
4. That was kinda the point of this thread, to find or as you put it, partner with fellow believers here on CF, for that very purpose. I been on this site for 19 years, The last few months have been my first posts in years. So not knowing anyone really here,
Right now, I'm currently working on the formatting this Bible edition (you know getting the right font type and size just right and all that fun stuff - Times New Roman, font size 8 I think).

I'm not advertising anything here, just again the whole point of the thread is doing what you mentioned in #4, and the link was to show that I'm wanting as I've said to do things the full legally ay, follow all the required steps a person needs to do to start a business in Indiana.

FWIW, Trump’s comment about removing “lethargic” was pretty funny.

I originally read the headline as “Bill Burr” and was pretty confused.

The thing you are referring to which regards to when a holiday falls on a specific day are called "postponements" and those were a direct result of changes that Hillel II made to the calendar much later than the Crucifixion. You are trying to apply a later Hebrew Calendar to the time of Christ. That is part of what I see in your error.

Jesus did NOT eat the last supper on the 14th. He was crucified on the 14th. He could NOT be crucified on the Feast because those that crucified Him and had the control over that date specific said not on the Feast. So He could NOT have been crucified on the 15th. Additionally, the 15th was a HIGH day and the Priests wanted to eat the Passover mean that was to be served that 15th. So they did not enter the Judgement hall. Additionally, I have shown from the law that the 16th is the wave sheaf of Barley firstfruits and that the Law shows this is the 1st day of the week which AFTER the Sabbath and from here upon which 7 Sabbaths are counted leading to the Pentecost. So the 16th is the FIRST day of the week. Jesus went into the tomb the night of the 15th and was crucified prior to that on the 14th. The Passover meal was eaten as the Apostles said in the Teaching of the Twelve back on the 11th and Jesus apprehended on the 12th. Nothing in the scriptures refutes what I stated but yet you have Jesus being held and crucified longer than the LAMB was to be in possession leading to its killing therefore disqualifying Jesus as the Passover Lamb.

Actually, yes. Jesus Himself refutes your claims. Many times He stated that He would rise after 3 days. The sign of jonah - 3 days and 3 nights. Refutes all your claims.
