  • 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.

There are revisionists that belong to a false, harlot, apostate church. We are told to let the tares grow with the wheat and then the angels will sort them out at the end of the era. Least the wheat be uprooted with the tares.

24 Jesus presented another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.… Matthew 13

That's not very nice, they're your fellow Christians. Of course, they don't agree with you so they must be wrong.

Something better than King James worship.... truth, of course.
You do not need them to translate the Bible for you. Read it yourself in the Original language. This is a historical document that goes back many thousands of years. Before the Bible was written on Papyrus there were clay tablets that you can learn how to read and study also. Very few people have learned how to translate the clay tablets so there is a real demand for people that are interested to study and translate them. So if you think you can do better then they have done up to now then by all means show us what you can do. After all if Trump knows more then the generals then I am sure that you know more then the PhD's that have devoted their whole life to study the Bible.

If the apostates agree with the skeptics, scoffers and infidels does that make them right?

I'm a bit lost as to who and what we're talking about specifically, but I think that whether or not 'they're' right would depend on the evidence and facts they can present rather than who they associate with.

Opinion? I have a book around here that they use in graduate school written by a doctor of theology. We could look at that if you want. Of course if you think you already know more then the experts know, then I guess we would be wasting our time. Even if generations after generation for thousands of years spent their entire life to study something. I am sure you know more then they do because after all you put at least two or three minutes of thought into this. Many generations of people who have put their whole life into the pursuit of the truth is nothing and pales in comparison to the work you have put into seeking after and knowing the truth. I mean you claim to know more then every text book that has ever been written. So my hat is off to your superior knowledge greater then any living man or any man that has ever lived up to this point in time.

I would suggest you tell that to people like AV, but he thinks Jacobean English is the original language.

This is a historical document that goes back many thousands of years.

A single document? Were you just claiming earlier that it was a compilation of documents?

Kindly get your story straight.

Before the Bible was written on Papyrus there were clay tablets that you can learn how to read and study also. Very few people have learned how to translate the clay tablets so there is a real demand for people that are interested to study and translate them.

And interpret them -- so many people need meaning explained to them, don't they?

So if you think you can do better then they have done up to now then by all means show us what you can do. After all if Trump knows more then the generals then I am sure that you know more then the PhD's that have devoted their whole life to study the Bible.

Do you know better than the PhDs? Do they have the Holy Spirit in them? Don't you?

It is against the rules to make that determination. I can not define who is a true Christian and who is apostate. The words I use are words from the Bible so you would have to look them up in a Bible dictionary. During the tribulation period the false government will turn on the false church.

"And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire". Rev 17:16

Sounds nasty! Hypothetically do you think I'll get away with a last minute conversion?

I have no problem with that. All language has roots somewhere. I think that AV read the Scofield Bible and I read the Ryrie but they are both based on fundamental dispensationalism going back to Darby. There was a debate between Calvin vs Arminianism vs Wesley. I tend more toward Wesley, I do not know where he stands on that discussion.

Does that mean that you, like AV, believe that God, Adam, Eve, and pretty much everyone pre-Babel spoke Jacobean English? That all those Biblical documents written in Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Latin, etc., are ad translations?

Do you believe, as AV does, that King James knows more about Hebrew culture and language than the Hebrews themselves?

Also against rules to preach on the science forum.

Christians received the Old Testament from the Hebrews people. There is a written and an oral tradition. So we have to look to Judaism or Messianic Judaism to explain just how the various documents were all organized together. If we want to understand how Moses brought the various Clay Tablets together into Papyrus that is a subject they study in graduate schools. You people like to bounce around. One day your are barely functioning at a third grade level and then the next day you want to study graduate level stuff.

I really can not help you on language theory. There are two different theories the Christian and the Secular language theories. You are correct we read in the story of the Tower of Babel that the language was confused. I believe the foundation for the tower of Babel is still there in Iraq. They call them ziggurat today. If you are building out of stone you are limited with your material as to how high you can go. The higher you go the bigger your base needs to be. English is the universal language today made up off all the scattered languages from the time of the tower of Babel. I have worked with a lot of foreign college students that struggle with trying to learn English so they can get a good education here in America. Then they go back to their country to teach the people there what they have learned here. My mom hosted an organization that worked with the University and I was very involved in that. Mostly China but I have a good friend that works with the Arab students. He even has a fancy security clearance.
