    How do you interpret the bible "correctly"?

    If you have the Holy Spirit God will do the interpreting. If you try to interpret under your own wisdom you will invariably fail.

    Why is faith discarded?

    I believe you are right. Our power is from God and that Faith which He has given us is only strong because of our connection to God.

    What is faith in Christ?

    I meant that fear was based upon the rational and seen specific to the circumstances of my original post in that a reasonable man with a different doctrine than mine would not pray for healing because he doesn't believe in it and thus his friend would die. Yet why should I allow this other...

    What is a miracle?

    I hope we are not becoming like that for to trivialize God is not a good thing. I hope to retain my childlike wonder and my openness to God's miraculous power in my life. To lose that wonder would be like cutting off that part of ourselves which communicates with God.

    Why The King James Version?

    Did you read the preamble to the King James? I am convinced that these men were inspired of God. Regardless of the different versions, if those versions are honest and true to God's purpose I believe that God will reveil the truth of it to those that ask Him. I think some people concern...
