I'm not sure how to even reply to that bizarre statement. Did not the translators of the KJV use Greek manuscripts themselves? (Obviously they did.) But if these are corrupt (since the mss. used by the KJV were written in Koine Greek, which you say is a corruption) then the KJV by definition...

So who could possibly thwart Jesus' plan? And when did Jesus change his mind? And if Jesus did change his mind, why not let his disciples know? The poor Twelve just didn't get the memo? Jesus spent the entirety of his ministry teaching and preparing his disciples, and even spent 40 days...

Only by the ignorant... (and you may ignore anything your little heart desires). William Tyndale didn't even know about Koine Greek. “One man is to be given the credit for the discovery of the Koine – a German pastor named Adolf Deissmann. Even though one or two perceptive scholars had noted...

As I had said, "I think I know...." but if I remove all the snark from your reply, thank you for kindly providing me your direct reference. Unfortunately, it would seem that I don't read "κατα αποκαλυψιν" in the same manner as you. I realize that you understand this verse to mean that God...

How wonderfully gracious of you.

Sorry, I rarely read linked essays... am I to argue with the unreachable author? I trow not. But I am aware of the numerology and the bent of superstition that many people have for it. And on the other hand I am also aware of the metaphor that can be found within numbers. I am somewhat aware...

My apologies for the late reply, but I'm sure you realize that a word search in English is rather useless. The NT was written in Greek, was it not? And even a cursory search shows that this word "grace" is G5485 χάρις (charis). So did Jesus ever utter the word χάρις ?? (Luke 6:32 KJV) For...

So just pick a card... any card... (I mean year...). Go ahead. Here's a hat. Reach in and make up a year. 31 AD. Okay... Got it. Well then good thing I readily admit that Friday is a Roman Catholic concoction. Mostly because Gentiles couldn't care less about Judaism. And that's true even...

I'm fairly sure I understand the scope of the problem. What puzzles me is that you would reject the teachings of Jesus before men. And instead preach a Gospel that came from someone else (if indeed it is a different gospel). That should tell you something. And the message of salvation from...

I find it odd that you don't know that Jesus DID use the word "grace." Are you seriously going to hold that position? I guess you are. Rhema (I would gently direct you to the Sermon on the Plain.)

No. I think it's because you rarely ever run into someone that is honest at face value. "Never attribute to malice that which can easily be understood as naivete." Your "tone of voice" seems really hostile, and while I might be incisive in my questions, I am not your enemy. It's sad to think...

I'm not. I'm asking a question. (When have questions stopped being questions?) Yes, but much more. The word "twelve" might simply mean an enumeration of the quantity of disciples that Jesus first selected, but when used in the New Testament, it has taken on a significance beyond a mere...

There's no rush. It might be days, even, before I can get a chance to reply.

Absolutely one of my most horrid. (Of course it's best when spoken with the right tone of voice.... and hesitancy.) I'm sure there have been many people who ran across the simple juxtaposition but refused to position their juxta. Glad it brought a smile. Now here's my best worst joke...

So then when you hear the word "gospel" you don't think 'the Gospel of Salvation that the Father sent his Son, Jesus the Messiah, to preach'? What might these "many" gospels be? (And obviously such would refer to "message," not the four books.) From your posts I gather that you believe there...

I understand that in his early ministry, Paul was preaching exactly what Jesus had preached (and Peter in Acts 2). Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: (Acts 13:38 KJV) That the Forgiveness of sins is preached to...

The same question still stands... Which gospel did Jesus mean in this verse? And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15 KJV) (See above.) Rhema

So then it would seem that you believe that there are two gospels, yes? Which one did Jesus mean in this verse? And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15 KJV) And why after the Resurrection would Jesus have NOT said something like...

Hmm... So you have supplanted the Gospel message preached by Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God with a different Gospel message? One that was preached by, and I quote... "PAUL (i.e. NOT Jesus)"? From your above statement, the only sane answer would be yes. So then you are not a follower of...

It's been some time (not on purpose), so let's get a recap here: Those with any cognitive ability can make great sense of what I said. And as far as universalism goes, you are a universal condemnation-ist (but I know you learned this from Paul, not Jesus). You had stated that Mankind...
