The Importance of How to Interpret a Biblical Text

Agreed. The problem is that the OP unnecessarily brought bible translations into the picture (so we went off on a tangent). If one made translations an issue, one could get bogged down in 20 translations and fail to actually deal with a particular passage. Not only that this could become a huge bone of contention. Furthermore, Bible study does NOT need to be made complicated (as presented in the OP).

If many of the “Christ-glorifying” words don’t exist in the original text, the translation cannot be “more accurate”.

let's me use Fundi, for example.
I called him out in every thread for dismissing how I read the True Word of God.
I claimed he said Speaking in Tongues is what Saves you.
I then claimed on his behalf the Bible is outdated and Science shouldn't be viewed as the correct authority,

Of course I had to push his buttons because I'm a superior scientist who knows better

I then went on to babble on about theese Gender Issues I have because I'm a full blown homophobe



I then claimed it was the FATHER, even though the Bible specifically states the Holy Spirit, gives the Utterance to Speaking in Tongues. So I went back and fourth with my whip


And then whipped him further in to making him believe he promotes Mormon Videos.


I claim he DENIES the pre-incarnation of Jesus Christ! Because I need to whip people over this, before they do such a thing even tho they've not done that. It's the best way to preach in my book, it cuts the cissy crap out


He DENIES that it was the WORD in Exodus 3 and 6 that gave names to Himself like Elohim even tho he hasn't got a clue what I'm talking about I will whip him further, because I am to be like the like, LORD, MOST HIGH GOD, YHWH, Yahweh! The father of discipline,


and this is the SHORT LIST and there's literally another 20+ examples i can give. Because I've got a complete book on him now of my ideal fantasy of him it's great I love it.



so, there's a WHOLE PACKAGE of my examples and my wonderful sounding board mind and look here is more of what he is doing.

I need to whip the crap out this new believer Rambo style and brutally beat the crap out of him in order to lead him to my world of how to be saved.

This a manly way of preaching


how many times do you say, no no no no no no no before saying, You're a LIAR, a DECEIVER, FALSE TEACHER, and you need to yank your head out and GET RIGHT with GOD?

if i followed your approach, he would still be the same ole person until he dies.

I believe, the effort should be made to stop it now so he can be Saved.

Your motives seems pure enough but your methods are flawed. You don't overcome evil with evil, but with good. Because of the way you have chosen to proceed, you have lost your ability to influence Fundi. So no matter how much you know, Fundi will not receive it from you. In the words of Sir Topham Hatt...you are not a useful engine.
The wisdom that comes from God is first pure, then peaceable, etc. If your words don't promote peace, your wisdom will not be perceived as coming from God.

the ONLY person on here that Fundi agreed with was VAROB and he got banned that makes fundi a traitor so I'll get my whip out once more

there's NOT a single Poster connected to CC that can influence him even with sugar coated kindness so don't bother being kind to him get your whip out.
Get some bench press in before hand and pump up the blood vessels.




how come you cannot recognize this for what it is he's the number one villain around here it's time to have serious head like me, and cut the cissy crap out


if you do, maybe, you might treat this as an actual Spiritual Warfare. Battle and join in with my movement

I'm the enquirer.

You don't overcome evil with evil, but with good.

As Christians, we need to have a fierce attitude when it comes to standing against the enemy of our soul. We can no longer afford to think of fierceness in a negative way. The Lion of Judah is fierce, and we need to be fierce in the way we fight for our families, and especially our children.

I believe, we need to have a fierce attitude and follow the doctrine of men even if it means cutting out this shall be nice rubbish when it comes to standing against the enemy of our soul it's best to rant, even tho people may beat spiritual warfare with kindness I don't believe in cissy crap..

We can no longer afford to think of fierceness in a negative way. The Lion of Judah is fierce, and we need to be fierce in the way we fight for our families and especially our children. So join in with my movement of doctrines of men even tho the bible promotes abortion we should condemn those who commit it.

watch my doctrine of men and tell me where im wrong to follow his method

he is talking about how I debate here at CC.

the ONLY person on here that Fundi agreed with was VAROB and he got banned.

Maybe noone can reach him. That's not the point. We all have to give an account before God. For the believer, we won't face judgment, but we can lose reward. And we aren't called to be successful, only faithful.

.Jesus cautioned the Pharisees that he came not for those who were whole but those who are sick. Mercy is better than sacrifice.

he is saying, people like you, Who condemn how i do spiritual warfare, is worse than how Satan would attack me.

do you like Voddie Baucham?

just wondering.

i ask, because in the Video at the 22:45 minute mark, he says WE are to DESTROY EVERY IDEALISM that goes against God.
and then, we take EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE against God and PUNISH THEM!

he is saying, you are WRONG!

You are free to disregard any or all I have shared. I believe Mr. Baucham is wrong in his approach.

Yes, that would apply to Christians and the Church. Those outside are not under consideration in that regard.
