WKK Dont mis-understand me, I may not be making myself clear, but religion no matter what form it takes on can and does lead people to rely on their religion for salvation and completely miss what God has done for them. The Jews missed it and Christianity as a whole has missed it. How many millions of Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Budists, Jews etc..... are trusting in their religion or sacrament or ritual for their salvation and not relying on Christs finished work given to them free and at the mercy of God.
I know there are many bad bible translations, and no translation is perfect, but if I had an original greek bible I wouldnt be able to understand it, I speak english so I need an english version, and there are several good english versions, But do your research. I like the KJV and the ESV. The NASB, NKJ and maybe the NIV is ok, the rest I would stay away from. However you will only find the translational problems with men and not in the word, just because you and I cannot agree on an interpretation of a passage of scripture doesnt mean that God was wrong. Either you or I or both of us are wrong, but God is the author of the bible and he is not the author of confussion. NOT ONE WORD WILL PASS AWAY. If you want to question Paul and the other inspired writters then whos being arrogant. I am just believing what they wrote. I dont add or take away, just believe.
Fine you have me with tangled words. Yes believers of islam are under the deception of false teachings = Heretics. Doesnt mean they cant repent and be far greater Christians then myself.
God has like I said given us all the revelation that he is going to in the bible, thats it. If you subsribe to another authority for revelation then you believe another gospel. Dont mis-understand me here, I know the Holy Spirit has a ministry with each believer, but thats not what were talking about, the bible is his final revelation to man untill his return.
Hmm circular reasoning you say, well if believing what God has said to be true then I am definatly quilty of it. If I didnt believe the Bible was from God infalible then I would slap it shut and give you guys a sincear appology and never insult another forum again. Why bother being a christian if you have no authority to go by. I simply believe what the Bible says thats all.
Well since you agree with me that Jesus is the son of God then we both agree muslims are wrong on that point.
