There are some verses and passages in the King James that aren't in some older manuscripts. However, when those verses are removed, there aren't any doctrines in danger. Aside from that, the King James is actually quite accurate and reliable. The only issue is that the dialect of english that...

If their use of scripture is like Tim Staples, then I'm not worried.

The link for Dr. Scott Hahn was nothing more than an advertisement for a book. As far as Tim Staples' arguments, I can. He goes through his argument explaining that Revelation 5:8 & 8:3-5 speaks of Elders and Angels receiving prayers from Saints and offering them to God. First off, he ignores...

If the catholic position on praying to Mary and other dead saints is based upon blatant abuse of the context of scripture as demonstrated by Tim Stables in the posted video, then I don't need to understand it. Not only did he misquote Revelation 5, but he also got the message from Revelation...

thank you

Greetings, I was raised in a Baptist church, but was challenged by my parents to study the Bible for myself. So I did. When I went to college to get my degree in religion, I selected a track and focus in Biblical Languages because it provided me with the skills and resources needed to study...

1 John 4:16 Matthew 22:37-40

If you only focus on one portion, you're ignoring all that God has to share in the rest. The best thing to do is come up with a daily reading plan to take yourself through the Bible. A good plan to follow is each day, read a chapter from the old testament, a chapter from the new testament, a...

While I respect the beliefs of my catholic brethren, I disagree with prayers offered to Mary because it is contrary to what we are told in Scripture. Matthew 6:6 "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou has shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy...

Actually, there is. For Moses and the Exodus, people often dismiss it as fiction because there's no evidence for it happening during the reign of Ramses the Great. Well, there's a good reason for that. The events of the Exodus took place some 300 years prior to the reign of Ramses the Great...

@XPres The same "mounting scientific evidence" that supposedly convinces some people to believe that it took much longer than a week also convinces some people otherwise. The point being that the "scientific evidence" is open to interpretation. There are people who believe in an old earth and...

Personally, I believe in the accuracy of scripture. Thus far, the Bible has been proven historically accurate practically 100% of the time. Even when it seems that something rises that discredits the Bible, the Bible is ultimately vindicated and proven accurate. I believe this fact to be crucial...

Greetings, I disagree with the September date because it doesn't fit with all of the internal evidence given in scripture. It doesn't explain the Shepherds. According to Dr. Luke, Zacharias, John the Baptist's Father, was of the order of Abijah, which was an order of Priests who served in the...

To expand on this, he's right. The Bible wasn't written "to" us. The Biblical writers had intended audiences. Paul, for example, always addressed his epistles to a specific church or to a specific person. However, Paul's advice to them has far reaching effects and is relevant to us today...

Greetings, I often find myself struggling with the same issue of trying not to read into the scripture what is not there, but letting the passage speak for itself. As a teacher at my church, I have to set an example to my students. As a result, I came up with a series of simple phrases that...

To quote a famous comedian on reasons why Jesus was jewish ... "30 years old, single, living at home with his parents? Come on! Working in his father's business. His mother thought he was God's gift. He's Jewish! Give it up!!"

Greetings, Israel and the Church are different entities. Israel is the chosen bride of God the Father, whom he divorced in Jeremiah 3. However, God the Father still has plans for Israel and awaits her return to him. The Church is the chose bride of God the Son, whom he is betrothed to and...

Greetings, This is my first comment on these forums, so please be patient with me. I wandered onto these forums almost by accident, and saw this thread. It caught my attention, and I wanted to add some insight. The passages in Hebrews are in direct reference to Psalms 110. Melchizedek was a...
