    Rob Bell...whoa??

    I don't think Rob Bell's a universalist in the sense that he believes all people will go to heaven (he denied universalism in an interview I just recently saw). In my view from what I've read, the most controversial aspect of the book is his belief of hell. He claims that hell consists of the...

    Every Man For Himself Bible Versionism

    So I don't pretend to be omniscient regarding biblical manuscripts and that's wrong? I'd rather not flaunt arrogance and pride regarding a partiular version and pretend to know everything regarding these matters. That is the definition of a Bible (KJVO) chauvinist. Since I was not there when the...

    Every Man For Himself Bible Versionism

    And one more thing I have: Why I Do Not Think the King James Bible Is the Best Translation Available Today First, I want to affirm with all evangelical Christians that the Bible is the Word of God, inerrant, inspired, and our final authority for faith and life. However, nowhere in the Bible am...

    "Loaded and rather juvenile questions"? That is hilarious! Is that what you refer to questions you can't answer? It seems that ad hominem is what you resort to when you have no answers. The 12 questions I asked are VERY reasonable, legitimate, and valid questions regarding the KJV and its...

    Every Man For Himself Bible Versionism

    I said ARE because for all we know they still exist but haven't been found. But fine, I can say they WERE the only originals. They were written by Moses, Paul, Luke, John, etc. -- the ORIGINAL BIBLE AUTHORS INSPIRED BY GOD HIMSELF. Not a translation committee initiated by King James. So back...

    Every Man For Himself Bible Versionism

    My question for KJVO believers: Do you believe that the King James Version of the Bible more inerrant and accurate than the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts? If your answer is "YES, the KJV is more accurate" - than you are elevating the KJV to an idolatrous level, claiming it...

    Lazarus and the Rich Man: Parable or History?

    Hi everyone. I was wondering about your thoughts on Jesus' story regarding Lazarus and the Rich Man from Luke. Just about every commentary/study Bible I've read on this passage says that it is a parable. However, I really don't see it as being parable (and I've found read some commentaries...
