Yep. Ernest Angely has taken over Rex Humbard's old digs and still airs a TV program - wig and all.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with his exemplar idea.

I think for the most part because they want to either go back to a simpler time when you could leave your doors unlocked and neighbors watched out for each other’s children. In some ways, the liberal changes over the past 30 or 40 years seem have shut the door on those times. But when you really...

I think you are deliberately misusing the term "liberal."

A "liberal" Christian is generally a Christian less opposed to change. A liberal Christian is generally less inclined to think that tradition is important. A liberal Christian generally welcomes new information concerning everything from manuscript discoveries to the archaeology of the Holy...

Well said. :)

[/size][/font] ‘sokay! You’ve had some sort of epiphany and it’s very hard to hold that inside. I completely understand! It is perfectly understandable you’d want to tell people of your experience and the wonders that have happened since. That, if you ask me, is the whole point of faith...

And there is only one of him. All of those who have come after him were completely human, completely fallible and just as likely to give his or her own interpretation and preach his or her own personal message as you and I are; maybe more so because there was no democracy and virtually no...

artybloke, I'm already there. When I used to post in the Christian History folders on AOL, the section was overseen by Christianity Online, a subsidiary of Billy Graham's Christianity Today organization. Myself and four or five others spent time refuting the exclusive message of the...

Would you mind if I asked what was the catalyst for bring you to where you are now? It seems like a long journey to me.

[/size][/font] Right. That was what I meant by harmonizing, rationalizing and ignoring inconvenient passages. Yeah and the real bible is really the re-inspired KJV that fell from the sky onto England soil in 1611. :sorry: It has never been amended, adjusted or revised...

[/size][/font] So, that’s it? That’s your support? The book of Acts, which is part of the Bible and clearly not a history text, says that’s how it happened in the narrative. The Bible is correct because a narrative in the Bible says so. That is circular, as I have already pointed out...

[/font][/size][/font][/color] You have not shown in any way other than by assertion that Acts is historically reliable on this point or any other. Why are you so anxious to change the subject? Don’t you have any supporting evidence? You have also not demonstrated that the term “church” is...

And you have not supported your original assertion yet.

There is no mention of the word "church" or the Greek word ecclasia in the Greek text. So, it would be completely improper to translate it as being there when it is not. Not incorrect. No ekklasia. No ecclesia either. Not in the critical text, which is the text that NT scholarship stands behind...

No you did not, you mentioned ekklasia. I am not using a translation, I am using the orginal Greek text. "Church" does not appear in the Greek text that has been designated most accurate by the UBS. There is no ekklesia in the Greek text.

Indeed. I hold no belief in Hell or a Devil or most of those things. My beliefs are probably best described as closer to Daoism but through a definite Christian lens. :sorry:

marlow, [/size][/font] Quite so! Most of the people I know refer to this as dancing. :) Well, I for one, have no faith in the Bible itself. For me the Bible is a book. A repository of some wisdom as well as some monotheistic thought and speculation. I think...

Yes it is, Outspoken. The Nestle Aland is the most accurate version of the Greek NT. What I wrote is a literal translation of what the United Bible Society has determined is the text most faithful to the best MSS available. I did a word study. The word "church" is not in the text. Not in any...

Outspoken, it is rather clear to me that you have no intention of supporting your argument. BTW, that is a completely accurate translation as anybody who reads Greek will confirm. See ya around.
