Let's clear up one misconception
There have been many threads about mental illness lately, and i seem to be the central object of them. FAL, Steadfastfred, and his wife have stated many times that I am hiding behind a drug to cover up my sin.
Let me clarify this. I lived for 50 years with undiagnosed mental illness. I went to Bible College and dropped out. I had a former marriage that failed, and my Social Security record lists over 180 jobs since 1980.
Yes, i was very unstable, and I still struggle today to... -
My take on Andy Stanley and Emergent pastors
I watched Andy's final sermon on the eight sermon series titled "Christian". I was kind of hoping to hear him explain his comments from the previous sermon where he sort of redefined the modern family, but I was disappointed. However I truly did like most of what Andy said on this sermon and the other sermons I listened to in this series.
Here is my take on Andy. I feel he is very similar to Rick Warren and many of the Emergent preachers in this way: He always seems to be painting a... -
Apology to BB member
Kit, while I in no way agree with your beliefs nor what I perceive as your intentions I do want to apologize to you for the evil attacks and willful attempts to get you into trouble with the Mods that has been waged towards you by so many on this board. This kind of behavior has nothing to do with Christ, but comes only from pure evil.
While I am not interested in playing games with you I would at any time be willing to discuss the truth with you and help you see what the bible really... -
Women of God.
1 Timothy, Chapter 2
11:Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12:But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
[insulting and offensive remark]
Besides I would not want any man talking to my wife unless it is the Spirit of God talking to her through them. -

Flesch-Kincaid, part 2
Without having to wade through the previous thread, I figured I'd do a bit of research on my own regarding this issue. I found this lovely website- http://www.standards-schmandards.com/exhibits/rix/ - which offers a test for readability according to the F-K scale.
So I decided to do a verse by verse comparison between the KJV and my current VOC (version of choice)- the ESV, using some popular verses that we all should know by heart. Here are the results:
John 3:16

Are You Ready To Repent?
Luke, Chapter 13, 3: I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. -
Are They Brothers and Sisters?
Are children of God and the children of the devil brothers and sister to each other?
1 John, Chapter 3
7:Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8:He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9:Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot... -
How Do You Know If You Are Born Again?
If I were to take a poll among the Christian population of born again believers. I know I would get many variations as to how to become born again. Now I believe there has to be only one way to become born again.
I would like to read as to what the experts of the word of God have to say pertaining to this subject. -
Christ's One Offering Sanctified forever those He died for !
Heb 10:10
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Yes, The writer is writing to Believers, however that [believing] is not how they became sanctified forever, which was solely by means of the Sacrifice or Offering of the Body of Jesus Christ, which means by His Death !
This is a Great Blessing of the Death of Christ, all for whom He died, once and for all, set them apart !
The word sanctified here is the greek word hagiazō...
