EdJ. In the AKJV, that you say is a word for word translation, the same hebrew word that means 'Command', is also translated as say,speak, instruct,appoint,bid,charge, order. So how could it possibly be a word for word translation?Blessings.

Hi TK. Eph.1:11… 11 in Him in Whom our lot was cast also, being designated beforehand according to the purpose of the One Who is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will, God Bless, Jerry.

Hi Gene. A very good question, I have not given this a lot of thought, but now that you have brought up this subject, I have pondered through my thoughts and will give my opinion. Throughout scripture we see the term “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit”. Now is the “Holy Spirit” the same as “Spirit”? I have not made up my mind on this. I feel…[Read more]

EdJ. I'll post these verses from the “Concordant version”, which is a word for word translation of the Greek. I feel it is more accurate…17 For if I am engaging in this voluntarily, I have wages, yet if involuntarily, I have been entrusted with an administration.18 What, then, is my wage? That, in bringing the evangel, I should be placing the…[Read more]

Hi Marty. Quote We are a new creature in Christ Jesus because we have been born again. I don't believe scripture says it that way, never-the -less we are a “new creation”. Not much use in nit-picking, we'll leave it at that. Quote We have died unto sin and have been raised from the dead to the newness of life by the same Holy Spirit that…[Read more]

Thanks Gene, it's good to hear some positive opinions, not just negative opinions not backed by scripture.God Bless, Jerry.

Hi Marty. Quote If your are not a born again Christian, then please explain to me why you think or maybe the word should be “know” that you are a Christian? I believe you are quoting John 3:5, where Jesus answered Nicodemus “you must be born again”. To understand the meaning of this, one must understand that in that era, God was a God of…[Read more]

Hi JA. Sorry to hear about your anger with me. I just quoted scripture to prove my points, but you just ignore these scriptures, and reply with attacks on my beliefs without any scriptural content, just accusations and generalities of your version of what you believe, but cannot find scripture to support it.Your attacks on Gene and me are…[Read more]

Hi JA. Quote What is it about God creating man 'in his image' that you cannot understand such that you search out some hitherto unknown version of Scripture stating 'and creating the alueim humanity in His image' You say “some hitherto unknown version of scripture”. Just because it is unknown to YOU, doesn't mean what you say. I use the…[Read more]

Hi Nick. I'm not to familiar with all of “Calvinism” doctrine, but of what you post I have to say I agree with some of it. To sum it up “All is of God”, we have no part in our salvation.God Bless, Jerry.

Quote (JustAskin @ June 26 2010,20:08)Jerry,You have a very distorted view of Scripture which is caused by a desire ti impose some equally distorted view of God and his purposes.You select and search out the most distorted version of whatever you seek and then claim it as 'the real truth'.So sad. But so you are, and so you will be. But I would…[Read more]

Pierre, you accuse, but don't give any reference as to how I twisted scripture. Please show me where I have “twisted” scripture”. Do not bear “false witness”. Prove your accusations!Jerry.

Hi 942767. Quote We are born again Christians become like Him as we learn to apply the Word of God in our daily lives.I disagree, we are not “born again christians”. This term was used when spoken to Israel as a nation, not to the gentile “nations”. In this present economy we are a “new creation”, as Paul, who was designated by Jesus, to be a…[Read more]

Hi SF. No arguement here, just scripture. I do not define “free will”, no where in scripture is this term used. In Eph.1:11… “in Him in Whom our lot was cast also, being designated beforehand according to the purpose of the One Who is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will,” notice “being designated beforehand”, Does this not…[Read more]

I see the many arguements concerning “free will”. Yet in Eph.1:11 Scripture says “in Him in Whom our lot was cast also, being designated beforehand according to the purpose of the One Who is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will,” If God is operating all in accord with HIS WILL, how can we expect that our will will overpower His…[Read more]

My opinion if I may…You say… Quote Jesus is the image of God, yes?But Man was also created in the image of God, yes?
