Another Interpretive Translation
Here are a few versions of the verse:
(1 Timothy 6:16)
NASB: who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
NKJV: who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.
CSB: who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see, to him be honor and eternal power. Amen.... -
John the Baptist.
Should he be best considered as:
John the Immmerser.
Or:
John the Immersionist.
Your opinion. -
Is there biblical support for Lord ship salvation?
Many have said that, making the Lord master of your life is necessary. This not a question just to Calvinist but to anyone who believes it. I'm puzzled by it because I can't find any support for it.

Calvinism and the Unpardonable Sin
A worry to many is something called the unpardonable sin, which none of the non-elect have to worry about, considering none of their sins are pardonable, as Christ apparently did not die for them. So then, who committed the unpardonable sin?
If you say that the sins of the non-elect are actually pardonable, which you would have to say to affirm the existence of an unpardonable one, then you would have to admit that the non-elect have hope of salvation, as long as they do not commit the... -
Study Question: Revelation 12:1-6 - Who is the Woman?
Who is personified as the Women?
Is it the mother of God, Mary?
Is it the church, the bride of Christ?
Probably not.
Who, during End Times is taken out of the way for three and a half years? 2 Thessalonians 2:7 -
The New Testament teaches The Doctrines of Grace.
from: TOM ROSS- HISTORICAL SURVEY OF SOVEREIGN GRACE
"James refers to Election in his epistle;
"Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him" (James 2:5).
"Peter opens his first epistle by addressing the;

Revelation 12:1-6 - Who is the Woman?
From a different thread Cathode had a comment and I responded. Here is the two statements. Who is the woman of Revelation 12:1-6? Cathode says it's Mary. I say it's the Israel of God, the Church. Perhaps both of us are wrong. Who is the woman?
It’s full of misunderstandings.
Mary is Queen of Heaven because you can see it in Revelation.
She is the mother of the one who rules the nations with an Iron sceptre.
Crowned by stars and standing on the moon.
Where in Revelation do you extrapolate... -
Is Ambiguity a Problem?
When asked what frustrates Bible readers, not understanding it ranks quite high, about 15%.
The four mostly read versions were the KJV, NKJV, ESV and NIV.
Kinda makes you wonder whether ambiguity to preserve a possible range of meanings is such a virtue?
Bible readers have a range of faults, including a desire to instant understanding rather than studied understanding.
I am looking at how we might improve the translations, rather than the readers.
I am not trying to make one... -
The timing of creation
When does the Bible say people were created: Less than 7000 years ago? More than 13,000 years ago?
When does the Bible say the earth was created? Within a few days of humans being created. Several indeterminate periods, possibly thousands or millions of years long, before humans?
The answers are not blowing in the wind, but are made clear in scripture. See Job 38 for the answer. -
The Flesh Has No Hand in the Salvation of God's People
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. John 3:6.
To learn the total corruption and desperate wickedness of human nature, is a hard lesson to flesh and blood. To have no confidence in the flesh; to consider ourselves upon a level with the very worst and vilest of sinners; yea, with the very devils, in point of hope of salvation in ourselves, is mortifying to our natural pride, and contrary to our carnal reason. “But the Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and...
