I am doubtful that you will get a tax write off, but yes! Do donate to this ministry as the Lord lays it on your heart to do so!

Thanks again all for your wisdom and Biblical version references. I swear I don't know why I'm giving contributions to the church. I should be sending you guys and gals the money instead. I'm getting more Biblical teaching here than anywhere...

I don't have an NIV myself, but if someone does can they check Mark 9:29? It says almost exactly the same thing and doesn't have any questions of authenticity. Its actually a major reason they decided to keep 17:21 in the KJV (its a parallel...

Clarkes commentary sheds a little light on this. "...However, there is great difficulty in the text. The whole verse is wanting in the famous Vatican MS., one of the most ancient and most authentic perhaps in the world; and in another one of...

A number of bibles will put various verses as footnotes instead of actual text. I know that the NIV bible has done this for many years, though I don't know how many other bibles do this as well. I would check your footnotes, otherwise get a...

The moment translators move away from trying to do a word-for-word translation, the truth suffers. Those that intentionally go down the dynamic equivalence road are substituting their personal interpretation for what stands written, in reality...

The burden of proof is on the one making the assertion. I am always willing to challenge someone to show me where it says that polygyny is wrong, but when they come back with a verse that does not say so, I glady point i tout to them. The fallacy...

Okay, let’s end this. A number of men think that I am a terrible moderator and a worse person. They are partially right, but you get the moderator you deserve. We had a thoughtful, empathetic moderator and he was so stressed out that he had lead...

Yes, most of us understand practicality. I certainly do. But, the problem becomes when it goes beyond practicality and seeps into supremacy.

I’m not sure who this is in reference to but you’re still missing the point. Neither the moderators nor the owners are explicitly calling anyone a heretic. It’s the inevitable course that certain topics will take that is of concern. If those...

If the Word of God speaks to the person's heart, so be it. I didn't say anything.

This the problem right here, this is not a forum for defining doctrine or judging heresy. No one wants to declare anyone a heretic. That’s the point. Some conversations always lead to accusations of heresy and thats not our role. We defend the...

let me repeat again and again... I am NOT T.O. ! I just love the practicality of God's Word.

True to form, we have managed to leave the point of the OP in the dust I will start another thread about benevolence that hits at ground zero for us guys considering a sister wife or four. Not immediately, though. Gotta keep my day job.

I fully agree. The professional beggar is the one that I try to avoid. The ones that can but won't. It is hard to know for certain if their situation is thrust upon them or their choice so we do our best discernment and go with that. I am sure I...
