I'm quite sure that we all would agree with Scripture alone US, but the point is apart from the writing on the heart the law of Faith (Rom 3:27,Deut. 6:5), which is of God, none respond.This simple proverb says it all. Proverbs 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. The pouring of His Spirit is defined clearly as God making known His Words unto you. So what occurred 2000 years ago? Jer 23:32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. His people were being taught lies, hence Matt. 21:43. The Wheat turned, while the tares remained. So when He made this promise... Zech 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace He did so by His chosen Vessel Paul. Paul is said to be a pattern (1 Tim 1:14) for believers from that point forward so believers, if they are following the pattern Paul said he was, are chosen vessels as well. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand... |

Gay M Allen wrote: Thank You All, BLB is great I forgot all about it too, what is your opinion of e-sword.net ? I can't speak on the esword site as I haven't used it. In my thoughts, The bottom line is that commentaries are written by men wheras Scripture is written by God. Scripture has its own commentary given through the cross references of the prophets cited by the NT authors. That's why there can really be no such thing as a New Testament church as the NT is citing prophets and explaining what they said in detail. Acts 15:16 cites Amos 9:11. That creates an objective context that's there for us to explore, learn, and ask questions. Like; What sword? How did God raise the tabernacle of David again? What happened to the first? Does modern worship consist of such dialogue? None I'm aware of yet Jer 9:24 says God delights in us knowing and understanding Him and He promised to give us a heart so that we could (Ezek. 36:26) There are plenty of these tethered texts in which to do the same such as these: Acts 2:17 / Joel 2:28 Isa. 49:6/ Acts 13:46-47 Anyway, I hope this can be of help to you or anyone else for that matter. |

ladybug wrote: Yes James, blb is an excellent source for study. I use bible hub too, but prefer blb. Concerning Isaiah, spot on. God teaches His sheep His truth. Hope your day is filled with Christ, a deeper desire to know Him, and to proclaim Him to a world that is getting darker by the hour... Thank you for those well wishes. May God continue to bless you! |

Jennifer Cunningham wrote: What is the fascination with Trump the narcissist, get over it. The people has spoken, look at his behavior after the election, firing and putting down people who don’t agree with his wicked assumptions with no proof... Something to consider. What if what he is saying is true and not wicked assumptions? What if those whom he thought he could trust turned on him? Look, No one here is fascinated with Trump as far as I know, except maybe for Jim. He loves Trump. The problem is the people have not spoken. They have been stolen from. The proof of a stolen election is not being reported but actually censored by the MSM and the evidence is plentiful. Read the 106 page lawsuit in Georgia filed by Sidney Powell. The allegations of treason are backed by witnesses ready testify. The state of Penn. mailed out 1.7 million ballots and received back 2.5 million. Even my 7 year old Grandson knows something is wrong with that. That's just two examples but there's plenty more. I would think a Christian would, above all else, desire truth to prevail and let the chips fall where they may. And if that happens, Biden and Harris will be placed in the jailhouse, not the White house. |

Dr. Tim wrote: There is substantial evidence that Mr. Trump did win the election, Jim. Tragically for America, the same cabal of crooked citizens, politicians, judges and newspeople who stole the election not from Donald Trump, but from the American people, are now denying and suppressing the evidence of fraud on the same massive scale as the election counting itself. If it’s “fair” for the left to take the election by fraud, then I for one say that it is equally fair—nay, more than fair—for the right to repossess it by force. I think it’s time for martial law until civil law can be restored.  |

Neil wrote: However great a man he may have been, he did not have the last word on how NT Greek should be translated. If one must paraphrase, it should be as close as possible to the original word, and "abusing themselves" is too vague – there are many ways to abuse oneself. No he didn't have the last word and Tyndale was quite open to having his English translation from the Greek critiqued as he stated in his intro in the 1534 NT rendering. But He found that his Hebrew translation work helped him better translate the Greek into English by the Hebrew OT citations found in the Greek NT. Since Hebrew was more easily translated into English than Greek in his eyes, he utilzed that nuance to Essentially have Scripture translating Scripture. And your right, there are many ways to abuse oneself like those who did so with man's wisdom defiling themselves, prefering their idols over God's Word. 1 Cor. 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: If you look across the prophets, the souls were defiled by lies served up by the priests. (Mal.2:1) Same spoken here as well. Ezek 37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, |

Rom 13:4 He is the minister of God, **a revenger to execute wrath** upon him that doeth evil.His instrument of vengeance is a sword. (Deut 32:41) All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword (Amos 9:10-12, cf Acts 15:15-18). There's no biblical warrant for Rom 13 to be a reference to civil magistrates. Its simply a misunderstanding of whom bears the sword and furthermore what the sword even is. If the above "minister of God" is a reference to secular authorities, then why is that same revenger - which revealed wrath in Rom 1:18- said to have come from heaven? Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed** from heaven** against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. |
