• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Dear SZ, I prefer the KJV since it allows access to the original words written. I have already shown that ONLY God could have possibly written Genesis and NO one, including yourself, has been able to refute me. Want to try again? I doubt it since you've already shown that you are a better runner than a refuter. Good to see you again and God Bless you, old buddy, old pal.

In Love,
Aman

No you haven't.

You may think you have shown that but you never did any such thing. You only convinced yourself. You have not convinced anyone else. There is no reason at all that the original source of the Bible was man and not God and the many errors in it support that idea.

And how does the KJV allow any more access to the "original words" than any other version? None of the books of the Bible were written in English of any form.

Dear Queller, Hey there old buddy, old pal. Where have you been hiding? I suspect your confusion is caused by that Altered verson of Scripture you insist on believing. Keep studying and perhaps some day, you might be able to refute me Scripturally, but I doubt it. Good to see you again, and next time don't be such a stranger. It's good to see you again. God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman
Until you explain how you know that 'elohiym means the Holy Trinity but Yĕhovah 'elohiym means Jesus only, there is nothing left to refute.

Umm, I hate to tell you this but the original words were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek, not English. You haven't fallen into the trap that AV has, have you?

No, he is aware of the original languages. He has exercised this.

But didn't you know that English is the one universal language in the world?

Everyone on Earth can understand English providing you speak it loudly enough, slowly enough and preferably with a southern U.S. accent.

I think I can answer this one.

Strong's Concordance is patterned after the King James Bible.

If, for example, you want to know what the Hebrew word for "cloud" is, you first look up "cloud" in the KJB.

I'll take this one too.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Whenever you see "God" in the Bible, with one exception, it is always "Elohim" -- a plural word that equates to the Trinity.

Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

Whenever you see LORD God in the Bible, it is always JEHOVAH Elohim, or a reference to Jesus Christ.

(Actually JEHOVAH is God the Father, but by way of Trinitarian logic, He is also equated with Jesus Christ.)

All Strong's Concordance does is to show how the KJV was translated. That does not answer the question. Strong's Concordance allows a tie to the original words, the KJV does not.

Then Yĕhovah 'elohiym isn't a reference to Jesus Christ alone, as Aman777 claims, is it? Thank you.

Please explain what you mean by "access to the original words written".

Dear DerelictJunction, The KJV allows access to the original Hebrew and Greek Words through Strong's Concordance. I have found that some versions use the SAME words written in the KJV to explain their more modern interpretations. God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

Dear SZ, IF you could have refuted me, you would have done it long ago, but you have NOT, even though you have tried, and failed miserably many times. I have challenged Evols to refute me Scripturally, Scientifically, or Historically. I await their futile challenges eagerly. God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

Still waiting on the scriptural support that the sons of god were prehistoric peoples.

Dear Queller, It's easy. Elohim is a Plural word (Trinity=3) and YHWH (Jesus=1) is a Singular word, in Hebrew. Please don't try to show that with your paraphrased version of Scripture, since it will only confuse the issue. God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

YHWH is not Jesus but God the Father. Even AV understands that.

I haven't paraphrased any scripture. Yĕhovah 'elohiym is straight out of Strong's
