David I would argue that slavery is the default. We are slaves to something. God, sin, the Devil, money, whatever.However, not all slavery is bad as you say. I agree that torture is not good, but death is not necessarily bad.If there exists a civilisation or culture that puts babies onto a burning hot idol as a sacrifice, then death that culture…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ Mar. 08 2014,17:19)Hi T8,  so is your answer “Yes” then?   …Or is your answer “No”?Do YOU consider the “AKJV Bible” Scripture?Certainly answering “Yes” – “No” – or “I don't know” cannot be that difficult.After all it is your rule, certainly you can follow you own rule, can you not? I can always start another thread in “The Hot S…[Read more]

The rod of correction is also not necessarily a device for beating someone or something. God corrects me and I don't remember the last time I was beaten by him. Point being it is any method which corrects us, steadies us, or warns us to move the other way. Scripture uses metaphors that men understand. Back in the day before modern technology, many…[Read more]

Choosing to be a slave to a good master is a good thing if the master is the only one who can provide what it is you need.Today we are slaves to the bank masters who own our mortgages. We are slaves to Credit Card companies. We are slaves to our employer. When the word slave is used, I guess people just picture 12 years a slave or the history of…[Read more]

I can't be bothered reading the detail of your answer Ed J, I am not sure if the devil is in the detail and can't be bothered to get a lawyer to look it over. It is simple, if you give me a truthful answer as to this apparent contradiction, then yes I will remove the tile. An acceptable answer would be admitting you were wrong, or explaining how…[Read more]

Is slavery wrong? No.Is forced slavery wrong? Yes.We should be slaves of Christ. But we choose to serve him. He doesn't force us to serve him.That is my view now without delving deep into scripture regarding it.

Wakeup. God does all things. And he does them through…God created you. And through your parents. God doesn't walk around with a hammer making things.Also, the son was the Word who became flesh.

Might be watching Riddick tonight. But would never consider that serious reading/watching. And certainly no substitute for scripture. Will there ever be a Urantia movie?

My answer Ed J is most of it is scripture. The Comma Johanneum is not for example along with other passages. Also, of that which is scripture. Some of it is translated badly, leading to misconceptions as to the true meaning. That said, it is probably a good translation considering the circumstances. Certainly not as good as others that are…[Read more]

Colter, there is a word for your post above. “Unbelief”. That makes you an unbeliever. Now you know why you are in the Skeptic area of this forum. Because you are an unbeliever. A skeptic.Contrary to the path you have taken, a number of people here have chosen to believe and hopefully they have a living faith because faith is the EVIDENCE of…[Read more]

I am not trying to trick anyone with the finer details Ed J. I am a reasonable man. As Mike said, you just need to clear that contradiction up.Admit you were or are wrong, or show us that you never believed the AKJV to be perfect, or that you never said that “One of you is a devil” is actually not correct and you never believed otherwise.Look…[Read more]

Ed J, it contains scripture, but also contains some added in words. The translation is not perfect, and it relied on less texts compared with modern translations. So there are errors in the translation.Good to hear from you Nick. Long time no hear. When you are in Wellington next, please come round for a meal or coffee. Let me know via Facebook or a PM.

I am assuming that the site was fast enough before Hostgator was bought out. That being the case, the price would be at the lower end of the scale on this page. I would start with the cheapest and perhaps upgrade if necessary. http://www.dreamhost.com/servers/vps/The above link and the site itself is on VPS which is not your own server, but you…[Read more]

You are in denial.This error, the one I have explained on a number of occasions clearly. Please address it.1) You say that 'Judas is devil', and that 'Judas is A devil' is wrong.2)  The AKJV says that Judas is A devil. Jesus said, Quote: “One of you is A devil”, while talking of Judas.3) You say that the AKJV is the perfect translation of the…[Read more]

@ bodThis guy could be a fraud for all we know as we can only go by what he says on the video. However, nothing in the video you posted proves he is a fraud. They guy who made that video is simply angry at this guy and is accusing him and calling him a liar, as well as mocking him or the actor in the video. The video makes no valid point it only…[Read more]

I tried Godaddy once and my good search ranking in Google disappeared with a number of sites. It turned out that they were heavy-handed on the security on their servers to the point that Googlebot was unable to crawl sites hosted on their platform. So I left immediately and my search ranking returned.Since then I have looked at them as a…[Read more]
