No, you didn't! Your mind in broken!

Translation: "Apparently, you aren't a Calvinist." Heaven forbid you address a syllable of what I actually said with an actual attempt to make a real argument. You're incapable of it!

Your proof texting a single out of context sentence doesn't negate the whole passages of scripture that contradict your doctrine. Your "revealed by God" doctrine is in contradiction to God's word which was written down for everyone to read so that men, like you, are without excuse. Not that...

Typical Calvinist double talk. You believe that every single event that happens was predestined by God before time began and that nothing could ever happen apart or in any way different from what God predestined. You further believe that there was NO CAUSE for what God predestined. In other...

The only thing you have to know to discard nearly every syllable that b57 writes on this website is that God is righteous. If believing in a God that is just is important to you, then that's both the first and the last step in the process of rejecting Calvinism. B57 claims the we have no free...

If so, God is unjust!

If this kind of proof-texting where valid, where you start with a doctrine and then go fishing for verses to support it, then David Koresh was a Messiah, just as he claimed to be. He had pretty nearly the entire bible memorized and could proof-text his doctrine all day long and twice on Sundays...

Again, even if I were to grant this completely insignificant point, it doesn't begin to compare with the massive and undeniable changes that the English language has undergone in the last 400+ years. The NKJV is translated from basically the exact same texts as was the KJV. That alone makes the...

Then what are we talking about? Except that "kill" is NOT the correct English word for what is meant in that sentence. It wasn't right even in 1611! But we do Acts 12:4? Then why didn't they use the word murder? It is precisely the same Hebrew word used in Jeremiah 7:9 (and elsewhere) where...

Okay, so this is why I hesitate to even get into this kind of discussion on this topic. It's just silly. Let's say you're right and that it's referring to a Pagan Greek festival which was not commonly observed in the Roman Empire. Fine! You're going to tell me that this is the reason you think...

Why would it need to indicate anyone was going to wait an entire year?

The KJV does exactly that. Not a chance that Easter is the correct translation with or without a woodenly literal word for word translation paradigm. In 1611 the word Easter had the same meaning that it has today. It's referencing the Christianized version of Easter, not the ancient Pagan...

They'd have even less problem understanding the NKJV, far less actually.

Granting for the sake of argument that such a flaw actually exists, it isn't nearly as flawed as 16th century English is different in both usage and meaning from modern English. In effect, the entire KJV is flawed because we no longer think, read or speak 16th century English.

I'll answer twice.... 1. What if EVERY SINGLE Greek (and Hebrew) word in the entire bible was translated into a version of the English language that is no longer being used? 2. Errors are obviously possible and we can hope for a perfect translation but at the end of the day, its a translation...

Problem? No, not really a "problem" as though I can't understand it but that doesn't mean it doesn't sound foreign or that it isn't more difficult than it needs to be, especially when trying to read longer passages. Also, for the uninitiated, the King James can be quite difficult indeed. The...

Its called the New King James for a reason. It is translated from the same texts that the King James was translated from. The rare and slight deviations from the King James are insignificant in comparison to the degree to which modern English has departed from late 16th and early 17th century...

Saying it doesn't make it so.

Completely brilliant point! Incidentally, you should consider switching to the NKJV. Forty three year old English is easier to read and understand than 411 year old English.

You should have left out the phrase, "for me". Calvinism is either true or its false. It isn't a matter of personal opinion. Last year? Do you mean because of COVID? Clete Welcome to TOL, by the way!
