Exodus 12:40 doesn't say that; it was their sojourning that was 430 years. Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. Ex 12:40 (KJV)

I always say, "approximately 6,000 years" (close to what you're saying). I would suggest reading The Chronology of the Old Testament by Dr. Floyd Nolen Jones (currently $26.39 at Amazon). He gets down into the details of this subject quite intensively and works through several "problem areas'...

I don't at all understand what you're asking, but that verse has to do with "things that pertain to this life" within the church (brother against brother), not things that are outside of the church (the unbelieving state). For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye...

I consider faith and belief to be the same thing. Also, the Windex crack is from the movie that YOU brought up.

Windex will clear it all up for you. :)

I'm not positive, but I think the following is true: Italics are generally used for words that are absent in the Greek text, but are necessary in the English text in order for the sentence to make grammatical sense. But if the Greek has a word present in the text, such as 'pisteuo', then it gets...

Becoming born again is a matter of you personally trusting the Lord Jesus Christ with your eternal welfare. It's completely independent of any denominational theology or any church person(s)' opinion(s) regarding whether you're saved or not. It's 100% between you, the individual, and God...

I already told you: there's no NUMERICAL age in the Bible. You seem to be demanding one. The ABILITY to account develops in each unique child at their own unique age.

Conversion (being born again) is a one-time historical event in one's life. You're either completely converted or you're not at all. Being born the first time (from your mother's womb) isn't a continual process; it happened and was completed once in your life. It's the same with the 2nd...

There's no numerical age of accountability in the Bible. Ability to account is the real issue. That ability develops in each boy and girl at different ages. I know of one girl who put her trust in Jesus and got saved at age 4. 13 or 20 would be way too old in most cases; children know...

The text doesn't say that they are "more" blessed; it just says they're blessed. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 20:29 (KJV) It would appear that none of the other disciples, including...

For whom God knew in the past (earlier saints), He ALSO (along with us who are already saved) did predestinate - not to salvation, but to conformity to the image of His Son. Whom He did predestinate to conformity, them He also called to practical conformity. Whom He called to conformity, them...

God created Adam & Eve as adults with an appearance of having been born as babies years prior. It was the same thing with the rest of the 6 day creation. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is ... Ex 20:11 (KJV)

Consider perusing Psalm 37; it speaks of waiting on the Lord. The context seems to be waiting on the Lord versus envying the wicked. That may not be what you're directly dealing with, but verse 4 seems to be saying that God puts desires into your heart if you delight in Him. Maybe focus more...

Is that descriptive or prescriptive? Confirms to who: the one who receives the Holy Spirt or onlookers?
