Can someone repost the test to see if you can recognize the word of God? It was a list of sample "scriptures" some Biblical, many not to demonstrate how people cannot just "tell" what is authoritative Scripture and what is not. Anyone got that one?

It was not found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It does not have quotes, references and allusions to it in books written after the time of Samuel but before the time of Christ. It does not have quotes, references and allusions to it in books written during the Apostolic Age. It does not have...

2 Thessalonians 2:6-10 "And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time." People have puzzled over this phrase for so long... I have looked at the passage for years and zeroed in on "and you know". Paul's first century disciples had information which twenty-first...

At first, Jewish and Christian writers accepted Enoch's storyline as valid... {Thank you James Heinz for the memes!} A Gallery of memes of early Jewish and Christian writers who accepted the Enochan storyline...

What about other "Books of Enoch"? Before long, anyone interested in the Book of Enoch will discover there are other books that bear Enoch's name. The Book of Enoch is also known as 1 Enoch. But there is a 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch. 1 Enoch is the only one of the three quoted in the Bible. 1 Enoch...

There is one in which the believer in Jesus Christ walks by faith, not by sight, but there is the other where one walks by the assurance of the five senses. Even some professing Christians subscribe to that one. "Oh, that guitar stringed chorus made me feel close to God" "Oh, let's go hear that...

A few years ago I befriended the guy behind the counter at a neighborhood grocer in San Francisco. The man's name was Sirach (Yep, just like the Biblcal book), and he was from Eritrea. As it turned out, he was an Evangelical Christian. Over the weeks we conversed on a number of subjects. One day...

There are two millennial reigns, one past, one future....

I just completed my 10-year expedition into this. When I met Christ at 16, I destroyed my then many years of creative writing out of a desire to break with the past and let the new come. My writings had been in the horrific genre and I could not jive it with my new-found faith. Over the years...

Its out of print and the rights have reverted to Crossway.

In the first chapter of the Bible, if one did not know the end of the chapter, ("God created man in his own image"), one might rightly be mystified as to "why"? But we DO know the end. The stages of creation were all leading to a grand conclusion. Creation is for God. Creation is for man. God...

I apply hermenutics to everything... for me there are Biblical ones and ones applied to life. One hermeneutic I have toward life is this: "All truth is God's truth", If, for instance, another religion endorses the golden rule, its because they sometimes get things right. Also, I go to a surgeon...

Divorced from Enoch in Latin and Greek Christianity, incorrect understandings of Genesis 6:1-4, 1 Peter 3:18-20, 2 Peter 2:4-10, Jude, and other passages meant an ignorance in the Church and culture in general concerning the events before the flood. This pervasive ignorance has left a vacuum...

We don't. The Jews canonized their Bible before the Christians in order to exclude Jews from reading the works of the Apostles. And yet, Protestants include the works of the Apostles. It is a dishonest position. We Protestants subscribe to a cut & paste canon but cannot admit to it.

Without rules for interpreting Scriptures you’re going to end up with a confused mess. So before we proceed, what are your rules? My first primary rule is: 1. If the plain sense makes sense seek no other sense. I do not mean there can be no other sense to add to it. I simply mean do not...

Forgive me. I think this is the first time I've ever copy/pasted from a Wiki. But I just found this. What do you think? It sums it up pretty good for me...

If God's name is revealed in the Old Testament to be 'Yahweh" and His Son's name was revealed in the New Testament to be Yeshuah can we expect the name of the Holy Spirit to be revealed in the age to come?
