    Definition of a Christian

    I believe that is reference to affirmation of the historical creeds. Most creeds have a statement looking forward to the second coming of Christ in a real/physical manifestation. Since Preterists (Full, not necessarily partial) see the second coming of Christ as past (at the fall of Jerusalem)...

    Homosexuality

    Good point ed. However, I haven't started a plethora of threads that ask a question, and then provide a link to my answer to the question. I leave that link in my sig, because: 1) it is allowed, and I'd have no problem is he left a link to his site in his sig file. 2) I'm more often...

    tongues ended using verse 1 Cor 13:8

    yes... as the spirit wills... they aren't evidence of anything spiritual, other than they come from the spirit.

    tongues ended using verse 1 Cor 13:8

    the argument for 'the perfect comes' is that with the finalization of the canon that we don't need special revelation like tounges and prophesy. I don't subscribe to that... If you want to dig in with me, let me present an alternate view of the spiritual gifts, that might make things more...

    Are there any Orthodox Christians here?

    I have run across two (or more) people of the Orthodox (big-O) tradition on-line. one is Working On It, who is a moderator at The Parlor, he is from the Antiochian strain. The other is Justin, who posts at Theology Online. Hope that helps in your search. (Personally, I've found the...

    Waitaminit... are you saying Jimmy Swaggert is a respected Trinitarian theologian? BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha... you might ask that whomever wrote that screed to update their sources... Go find the Anathasian Creed, and use that for the definition of the Trinitarian creed...

    Authorised King James Version

    I think what Louis is alluding to isn't the KJV but the Textus Reptus that the translators used as their source for the NT. If memory serves, Erasmus was the sole compilier of the TR. But I could be mistaken... The actual translation was done by a team, just like modern translations.

    Why did they do it?

    Odd to hear this in a thread where 'Southern Bigot Convention', and 'fundamentalist morons' are held in such high esteem. Granted, VOW didn't utter these words, but a card carrying member of the RCC has uttered these words, without rebuke from his brethren. While the RCC may think of the...

    KJV better then the rest? List your thoughts.

    then using the same word, do you call the KJV 'good'? and if you do, and you are using the same criteria that Jesus used (none good but God), have you then made the KJV into God? Quite a leap... as is the leap that God chose elizabethean words exclusively to convey his message. God...

    KJV better then the rest? List your thoughts.

    King James Onlyism - Only the KJV of the bible is inerrant scripture. Scholarship Onlyism - I'm not sure of your definition ed, but I don't think it makes any claims on what is inerrant scripture. hence trying to compare the two will lead progressively to confusion. I do agree that...

    KJV better then the rest? List your thoughts.

    Unless one states axiomatically that the KJV is 100% true, then the KJV also fails this criteria. If one states axiomatically that the KJV is 100% true, then any further argument is folly, since unless that premise can be debated, any further discussion will fall on deaf ears... but what...

    Rules for Bible interpreting...

    the answer is a resounding 'it depends'... :) Aprocryphal writings occurred before and after the life of Christ. In Protestant terms the Apocrypha are the books from the intertestamental period. These are also referred to as the Deutero-Canonical books of the Roman Catholic Scriptures...

    Authorised King James Version

    which religious leaders? the one's purporting that one translation is perfect? or those that support the availability of God's word in all translations?
