In the past two weeks, Kevin Bauder has written two blog posts about inspiration. Here are some excerpts.
When people think about the inspiration of the Bible, they tend to imagine it as a process. They think of inspiration as a way of stating how the Bible got to be what it is. Trying to answer the how question is one of the reasons that we are surrounded by so-called “theories of inspiration.” The verse [2 Timothy 3:16] contains two adjectives: inspired and profitable. This is the point at...

Bodily resurrection of the dead is the great hope of the ages.

Job testified to his belief that after he would die, he would yet see God in his flesh:

Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Long after the bodily resurrection...

As know such as even Dr RC Sproul held to a partial view of it!

"Do we romance about three Resurrections? Do we promise the gluttony of the Millennium? Do we declare that the Jewish animal-sacrifices shall be restored? Do we lower men's hopes again to the Jerusalem below, imagining its rebuilding with stones of a more brilliant material? What charge like these can be brought against us, that our company should be reckoned a thing to be avoided?" - Gregory of Nyssa, AD 336-395

Eph 6:12 YLT because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;

The world rulers of the darkness of this age. What age? When did this age begin? I assume, the evil in the heavenly places is what the world rulers operate by.

Gen 1:2-5...

Jeremiah 17:9

“The heart is deceitfull aboue all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?”(KJV 1611)

Why did the KJV use the English “desperately wicked”, when the Hebrew does not mean this?

The Hebrew verb is, “ʼânash”, and means, “be weak, sick” or “incurably diseased”.

“Deceitful is the heart above all things, and sick: who can know it?” (Isaac Leeser Jewish Bible)

Apart from the Geneva Bible, no other English translation around this time, uses “wicked”.

“The heart is deep...

Rev. 9:10 "They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months."

Historical fact: the length of time that Jerusalem was under siege by the Roman armies was 5 months. From April to August. Also, the Romans used ballistic weapons that were nicknamed "stingers"and had a specific ballistic weapon called a Scorpion.

One can verify this with Josephus and Ussher (both as to the terminology and the dates).
Once again, it can be proven...

In previous threads, various people who once used to be premillennial have argued for why premillennialism is not true. They now hold that there will not be a future literal 1000-year reign of Christ on the earth.

To support their current views, they assert that certain large sections of the Bible are symbolic and are not literally true. In this thread, I would like to consider further their claims about what passages are symbolic and what passages are not.

This was a city that was full of idol worship, which caused Paul’s spirit to be provoked within him. He immediately began by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection (because he preached to them Jesus and the Resurrection, v.18). In response to the inscription, “To an Unknown god”, Paul used this to tell them about the One True God of the Holy Bible, and the real Hope that there is for all sinners, in the Lord Jesus Christ.

In verses 26-27, Paul tells these:

“And He has made...

or was that just for right after he raised? is he still God and man, or just back to being only God now?
