    How do I find truth amidst so many opinions?

    Kimbie, I don't know if you have found your answer yet but I wanted to share this with you and everyone else who may be in your position. You mention that you know you are going to sin again and that it keeps you from wanting to come to God. You mentioned that you enjoy sin even. Want to know...

    Critical Text vs. Received Text?

    I suppose it would be all in how you look at it. To me the KJV is telling us that because Jesus is the Son of man God desires judgment to be in His hands. Which would fall in line with the thinking in Hebrews which tells us that it behooved Him to be made like us to be able to have mercy on us...

    Critical Text vs. Received Text?

    Punctuation does change things at times. However the originals did not have punctuation marks like this. So ALL translations require the insertion of them and the only way to discover where they should go is by understanding the text. So saying the "correct" translation is such and such based on...

    Critical Text vs. Received Text?

    Sorry, what exactly are you asking an opinion on? If you would like me to repeat what it says I can. But I doubt that was what you were asking for.

    Critical Text vs. Received Text?

    It would be best to examine the differences in the verses and message given by each. For an deep study into the history of each and a little bit of comparison I recommend seeing this link: http://onthelineministries.com/can-we-trust-the-bible/ It is Unit 1:4 and you will want to go through Unit...

    Is it spiritually necessary for a Christian to read the whole Old Testament?

    I think if Christianity is a personal relationship with Christ then we need to have a personal relationship with His word. As a result I believe it is not the best idea to do anything BUT go "lone wolf" if the need arises. Because if the rest of the pack is sick we need at least one of us...

    Is it spiritually necessary for a Christian to read the whole Old Testament?

    One of the most devastating things Christians tend to do is separate the Old from the New Testament. What I mean by that is that they want to throw away the Old and just go with the New, but the New is only the Old Testament now in the hearts of believers. The Bible says God never changes, yet...

    Holy Trinity Confusion

    The issue the Jews had with Jesus is that He was saying He was the son of God and in fact God Himself. But all good Jews knew there was only one God as the scriptures said. So not only was Jesus offending them by claiming to be God, but also they assumed this meant He was saying there were 3...

    I have a vision that won't go away. Help?

    What exactly are you asking for? If it was a real vision then what do you want to know? If it was something else then what does it matter? Or are you asking for help in making the memory go away? I just am not sure what you want with this.

    How Do You Feel About Teachings From The Bible Online?

    I have a question that has been on my mind. I was just thinking of all the ministry websites out there offering Bible studies and information on what the Bible says. You know, teaching type ministries. But I can't think of any that I frequent. So I was wondering if others actually frequent any...

    Christianity 101 What are the devices of Satan?

    I had done a good bit of study on the way Satan works in our lives and discovered Satan uses 6 devices to steal, kill, and destroy. I have the list here: http://onthelineministries.com/devicesofsatan.php and would like your thoughts. If I am missing anything please let me know.

    Do You Support Your Fellow Workers?

    I was just thinking about the subject of tithe and offering. But not so much the "are we required" to do it part. I was thinking of the willingness part. Paul said that no one had talked with him about giving until the one church. Then he also spoke of "robbing" other churches for the needs of...

    Christianity 101 Defending the faith, avoid these things

    Thanks Holoman, this is the reason for the question, reasoning, and point of the story: Jesus has just made a whip out of horse hairs and went into the temple the day before this quote. He overturned tables and drove out those who bought and sold in the temple. The chief priests, and the...

    Christianity 101 Defending the faith, avoid these things

    Ok, moving on from the subject of the different Bible translations I think it is good now to talk about the defence of the faith. I have put together a study on this subject here: http://onthelineministries.com/defendingthefaith.php and I would like to know your thoughts. I think too often we...

    Christianity 101 Are All Bibles Equal (Revised)

    Here is the answer to that question. This is actually a quote taken from http://www.bible-researcher.com/adult-hills.html. "That early Greek manuscripts contained this pericope de adultera is proved by the presence of it in the 5th-century Greek manuscript D. That early Latin manuscripts also...
