My stand on God? What's revealed in the Bible. The Godhead created everything good. He hates sin but loves righteousness. He is both grace and wrath. He is the only truth. I don't have super thinking. I just thought the Noah movie was very good. I've mentioned time and time again that it's not particularly biblical, but I also mentioned it functions very well as a philosophical debate of sorts. No, I don't promote this movie to non-Christians or young Christians but I did go and see it with some non-Christians friends and we had some quality discussion following the movie. I find that God speaks to me through the language of Story. He speaks to me through both Christian and non-Christian Story. Noah was one such movie that made an impact on me. I'm not pretending the movie is thoroughly biblical but God can use it for His glory.
You're right, I don't like the KJV 1611. It's partly because I struggle to read and understand archaic English but also because most proponents of the KJV are KJV-Only and believe that people who don't read that Bible and that translation only, aren't real Christians and are destined for eternal damnation. That's disturbing and really hurts their witness. Also, it's patently untrue. I don't see why people cling to such an incomprehensible translation when plenty of quality modern translations are available. Finally, I do include detail in Biblical topics, I just don't write essay-length posts. Short, sharp and shiny is best.
"I'm not pretending the movie is thoroughly biblical but God can use it for His glory." nope,cannot,God will not...why?
Its not Scriptural.God doesn't go against His own words.What is written in Holy Scripture, it is so.
...because God works in His ways,not by debating....The only argument entertained in Holy Scripture is Reasoning,its not debating and getting lost in biting each others ears taking it to a quarrel
..that is satanic.Now do i make you look like i'm ridiculing you?...no...no...no....
am not,..just trying to show what's wrong and you can point out mine...lemme also learn...
i know you have knowledge,that can help me...
apart from joking...

everybody struggle in one way or the other,you know that my english isn't good too..
if someone thinks KJV users are only Christians,then they are wrong..its doers of Christ's Doctrines that are Christians,so am also no perfect person...in fact doing Christ's Doctrines makes a person live in struggles a lot at first...same for me..same for you..its in one form or the other,no difference..
"That's disturbing and really hurts their witness" - why you take things in negative way?..i have all reasons to not come to this site because of the probs i face everyday in my life.Sometimes i feel i should stay isolated,than making people give the impression that am a very holy being...not just here but in the world too.
ignore hate comments
i do it a lot,and talk to the point..
Now about KJV being used as the best translation is a Truth because almost all other translations have misinterpreted and that too purposefully done..
Where it should be said as 'you-for a group', 'you' the term is used for mentioning a single person.
Where 'servant/s' should be used 'slave' is used.
Where 'son' the term is to be used 'slave/servant' is used.
Then Verses are removed...
Yes,it is a satanic agenda..
How many atheists and agnostics have i talked to who got confused because of the word 'slave'...i can't count..
Seeing their hate comments many people who are swaying in faith also loose hope...
Is this a small thing?
That's why KJV 1611..yea,i agree its hard,...but Good in long run..
And nobody is going to Heaven with a KJV 1611 bible in their hands,its those who did the Will of God that enter into Heaven..(Eternal dwelling places living with Jesus)..
