• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

THE NEW BIBLES REMOVE JESUS BEING GOD

[Matthew 19:17 KJV] "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

[Matthew 19:17 NIV] ""Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.""

The new Bibles remove God from this verse and thereby negate it saying Jesus is God.

Yet again you have used the phrase, "The new bibles", as though all translations of the bible newer than the KJV remove the word "God" from Matthew 19:17. They don't. For example:

NKJV (Mat 19:17) So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

MKJV (Mat 19:17) And He said to him, Why do you call Me good? There is none good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.

WEB (Mat 19:17) He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

YLT (Mat 19:17) And he said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one is good except One—God; but if thou dost will to enter into the life, keep the commands.'

CEV (Mat 19:17) Jesus said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? Only God is good. If you want to have eternal life, you must obey his commandments."

It is more accurate to say, "Some new bibles remove....." rather than stating that all do. It is clear from te five examples I have given that all do not remove God.

Everyone knows who the "One" is-and both versions are used by some to deny the deity of Jesus as it appears He's distancing Himself in both cases from the One who is good.
