Arguing full circle.
When two Christians disagree on a Biblical interpretation, and have repeated both sides of the said argument. Repeating the arguments again is not going to change any one's views. -
Luke 22:19-23 before John 13:2
Judas is at Jesus' institution of the remembrance.
Luke 22:19-21, And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
Verses 20, "for you" included Judas.
And John 13:2 being after the institution of the... -
Given, Granted or Allowed?
John 6:65 (NASB)
And He was saying, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”
John 6:65 (NIV)
He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”
Now the Greek word translated as granted by the NASB, enabled by the NIV, and given by the KJV is "didōmi" (Strong's G1325). It means to give or let someone have something, and does not include in its meaning whether the one... -
The KJV Update Project
I came across a project that aims to produce a version of the KJV that simply updates archaic words to the equivalent of what we would use in our modern English. This sticks strictly to the Textus Receptus text base unlike the NKJV which has Critical Text readings in some places.

My question for KJVO advocates, would this be acceptable for you? Why or why not? -
The Remnant
I have been to many churches that have taught dispensational premillennialism so by default that is what I land on. I have become more open-minded to other views concerning the End Times. I will present two verses that I look at as a literal future plan for Israel as a nation and would invite anyone to tell me if they believe this has or has not been fulfilled.
Ezekiel 11:17 - Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the... -
Rewriting the Tulip
The TULIP should be a beautiful flower of God, spreading the points of its pedals above the bedrock of scripture from which it arose.
“T” should stand for Totally in Adam; totally separated from God by our corrupted and unholy spiritual nature.
“U” should stand for Unlimited Reconciliation; God is reconciling fallen humanity to Himself one believer at a time because the sacrifice of Jesus provided the means of salvation for the sin of humanity.
“L” should stand for Limited Redemption; All... -
Mark 15:42.
Mark 15:42, . . . And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, . . .
It seems most readers understand that evening to be our Friday.
Jewish reckoning our Friday evening would already be the start of the Sabbath.
But the start of the Jewish Preparation Day would be our Thursday evening. -
John MacArthur - Jesus Did Not Have to Shed His Blood to Save Us!
This is a blatant HERESY, and is AGAINST what the Bible VERY CLEARLY Teaches!
"How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God" - Hebrews 9:14
"Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins" - Hebrews 9:22
"In him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our... -
1 Corinthans 6:17
In this verse a passive verb is translated as if the person is doing the action, in a little less than one third of the English Translations on Biblegateway. And the list includes such well regarded versions as the LEB and NASB. However the NET does not engage in the grammatical transformation.
The question for study is why do so many translations alter the passive grammar and translate the word as meaning joins himself.
If we join ourselves with Christ, then why does 1 Corinthians 1:30... -
What Did Barnabas See When He Saw the Grace of God
The text demands the reader ask this question of the context. See verse 23.
Acts 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were...
