We do have accurate English rendering of the original Hebrew and Aramaic. 5000+ manuscripts evidence that mostly harmonize with eachother. The copying and translating has been done meticulously. Have a look at the preface to the KJB.

Wait..those are ALL modern translations themselves. How about the KJB? Or others much older than those ones. Genesis 26:8 KJV - And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with...

For all have sinned (missed the mark of perfection) and come short of the glory of God. People can't then come to God because of this, so Jesus Christ then died on the cross to pay the sin debt owed to us. His payment for our sin has given everyone a way to receive salvation from Him. Like...

Oh salvation not salivation! 🙃

Not long ago there were a bunch of supposed messianic Jews who were posting in here, but they were denying Jesus' diety and preaching works for salivation. Saying they accepted the 4 gospels but rejecting the rest of the NT.

Reiterating eternal salvation vs daily service. Eternal salvation is through belief on the Lord Jesus Christ..saved eternally once for all time. John 3:16, 5:24, 6:40 etc.. Daily service is the right response to being freed from sin..but not the means of attaining salvation. In the faith...

You could couple this with 1 co 13:4-7 to see God's love and our response to it.

Make it? Know you are a sinner, needing deliverance and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will receive eternal life. It's that simple.

Yup we did beach projects every summer thru what you guys call CRU. The thing about it though was it was run by Americans.. and they had their own way of running it which was grounded in the Word. Once they left back to the States.. the club took on NZ leadership not as mature/grounded and...

The Book of John is about how you can know you have eternal life. It's about knowing that you have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Not looking at emotional experiences or feelings..but whether you believed Jesus is God..that He lived sinless, died and rose again. That by believing in Him...

There was a big movement in the mid 2000s.. movies like Facing the Giants.. War Room, God's not dead, Courageous..came out.. I was with Campus Crusade for Christ doing evangelism with them as a student. It was exciting times.. but come the 2010s..many of those involved in this.. went with the...

Weell if it helps I have almost identical doctrine to DC :) We are both independent missionary baptist

Are you saying we should expose children to the world or no?

Context will determine whether a passage is about eternal salvation or daily service. Daily service is the right response to having eternal life given to you, but is not the means of receiving eternal life. So verses about judgment for sin.. you gotta ask... is this judgment of being sent to...

Hebrews 10.26.. The context of Hebrews 10 is the Hebrews offering up animal sacrifices as part of their old ways under the Old Testament covenant. So.. 'where there is remission of these, there is no more sacrifice for sins'.. is about not being able to sacrifice bulls and goats anymore as a...
