Quote (t8 @ Feb. 05 2006,00:24)I quote the following from another website:Differences in Bible translations are generally not a problem for readers because the Holy Spirit can impress hearts with any of them, yet the closer we come to the original manuscripts, the better we can know the intent of that Spirit who inspired the writers. The New King…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ Feb. 04 2006,06:56)T8 your information on notes in the margin was interesting I never knew that.

Quote (Sultan @ Feb. 02 2006,02:56)Quote (t8 @ Jan. 31 2006,18:53)I have to admit that this for me is a hard question. I also wonder about war. If we were enlisted to fight against an enemy (like the Nazis) would God allow or want us to kill the enemy.

All of them refer to that which is invisible to human sight and which gives evidence of force in motio…[Read more]
