Actually my point was about what 'will' happen and what 'must' happen. That is between 'what is' and 'what is necessary'.

Just because God knows what we will do, doesn't mean that we must do it. He knows what we will freely choose from before time began. God necessarily knows all truth and therefore knows all decisions made by all. But his necessary knowledge, does not make the choices we make necessary. We could...

Or add a slew more. How can be both omnipotent and not omnipotent at the same time? Something can't be A and NOT A at the same time. This is wrong. Not according to Titus 1:2. It says 'cannot' lie, not 'does not' or 'will not' lie. At least one point is not wrong But you said up above that he...

Nobody should have a shareware version of NASB. There are copyright and licensing issues. Take a look at: http://www.handheldministry.org/palmreviews/bibles.html They have a review of most of the packages I have seen there and they rate them on fairly objective criteria.  I...

Hi, Here is my $0.02. I think that in order to convince them that they may be mistaken, you have no choice but to show them the validity of the bible. The bible makes exclusive truth claims as you have so aptly put in your question. If the bible is true, then your friends are wrong. If you...

Good list. For those interested: I'm running a beta version (0.7.435) which I have found to be much more stable than the last release version. Also, don't enable IE toolbars if you are running Win98 or earlier. It will lock up your machine, hard, you'll have to reset.

I've justed start using logos-libronix. I purchased the Nelson Ultimate library for $18 and then updated most of it to the libronix format. I'm quite amazed by the power of this software. There does appear to be a significant learning curve to being proficient and using it to its potential...

FYI: Regarding the E-Sword/OLB copyright issue. I checked with the author of OLB and he says the issue still exists, its just that the wheels of justice turn very slowly. He didn't give a reason for removing the "hall of shame" link from his webpage.

Actually, it seems that you are confusing the plan (the election) with the execution of the plan (the actual salvation.) Verse 13 is clearly the point when salvation occurs: "In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with...

We did it all the time with my two sons when they were infants, except we just called it bathtime. Given your definition that "Baptism is only an outward sign that you are a believer." means that baptizing infants is meaningless and hence is just a bath.

Actually from the Calvinists, you will get an argument that it is unconditional due to election and irresistable grace. Baptism comes due to obedience after salvation. From the majority of others (non Calvinist's that is), you will get that salvation is conditional on the acceptance of God's...

Given that my knowledge of Greek is extremely limited, I would not presume to try to decipher the nuances and differences of Greek grammar. Instead I'll quote from AT Robertson's word pictures. He was a greek scholar who taught new testament greek for over 46 years. He was and is recognized a a...

It appears that the page is now gone. Perhaps they have worked out their differences.

Online bible website go to the hall of shame link: http://www.onlinebible.net/hallofshame.html Regards, Clinton

There is a note on the online bible site that the material for E-Sword was stolen: They have a hall of shame where they claim that for Rick Meyers and Troy Griffins (Note that the following is quote from the web site):  "E-Sword These two win first prize. They blatantly stole all...

I haven't read that book, but interestingly when Erasmus was compiling his Greek New Testament which would later be the basis for the KJ translation he was missing the last six verses of Revelation in the Greek and so he used the Latin Vulgate and translated those verses back into the Greek. He...

Attacks?... How and on what basis? That was an awesome post! :clap: Thanks!

Here are the footnotes from the NET bible as to&nbsp;why the verse is not in most modern versions: A few later mss add <B>8:37</B> “He said to him, ‘If you believe with your whole heart, you may.’ He replied, ‘I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.’” Verse 37 is omitted by Ì45 Ì74 Í A...

Man is it hard to type with my foot in my mouth. I've been varnishing my dining room table tonight, the fumes must have got to me. Sorry Julie! &nbsp;

From the King James VersionLuke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: The fact that it says it is a parable seems to be a strong indication that your opinion might be in error.
