After "that man of sinne" (2Thess.2:3) (KJV1611AV) and the false prophet are cast "aliue" (Rev.19:20) into the lake of fire at the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, Satan will be thrown into a bottomless pit and bound "a thousand yeres" (Rev.20:2). Thus will begin a thousand years of peace, in which all the promises of God given to Israel will be fulfilled.

Scripture says that it is to Israel whom "perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the couenants, and the giuing of the Law,...

John 1:14 (NASB)
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:14 (NLT)
So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.

Several Greek words are used in this verse with vague or controversial meanings. Among them are "Word," "flesh," "glory," "only or one and only,"...

The reformation dawned, since scripture was kept from the eyes of the people, and salvation by faith alone was rejected as truth. This is a claim I may be wrong about; I'd been reading a book in defense of free grace, but much of what I read, my memory lost. Nevertheless, concerning the reformers, were they right about all they taught, inasmuch as they added works to faith, by demanding as proof of eternal life, fruit in the ones who claim they believe in Jesus?

I probably got some of the...

Is God The Father Fons Deitatis?

This phrase refers to God the Father as the “origin and cause” of the Son’s Being within the Godhead, as God. It represents the “Θεὸν ἐκ Θεοῦ”, of the Nicene Creed of AD 325. Literally it reads, “God out of God”, which makes the Father as the “source” from Who the “essential character” of the Son is derived. The Father alone is seen as “unoriginated”, and the Son as “originated” from the Father.

In His book, The Oecumenical Documents of the Faith, Dr T...

1) Is it wrong to believe fallen mankind is able to seek God and trust in Christ, in light of God revealing Himself and providing the gospel of Christ?

2) Did God really choose some foreseen individuals with or without foreseen faith when He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world? If this was a corporate election then God did not choose any specific individuals, just the target group of His redemption plan, those who would be redeemed by His Redeemer.

3) Is our faith in Christ...

When ever any of us disagree, one or both are are in denial of some truth in believing something that is not true.

Ok......I have tried for a decade to get a legitimate answer to a question but all I get are responces that based off the assumption the issue in question is unquestionable.

Penal Substitution Theory is based on a specific presupposition. This presupposition is based on a judicial philosophy held by some in the 16th century.

If the presupposition is false then the Penal Substitution Theory of Atonement is false.

In the past all I get are interpretations of Scripture assuming the...

New York May Allow For Human Composting, Known As 'Green Burials'

In these two verses 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.

Does anyone know the answer?

If we join ourselves with...
