Starting a evangelism local outreach team at the end of the month. We have many ideas but it would be nice to have more. How do you or your church evangelize? What works for this culture and what does not? My region is within the Bible belt where many go to church and speak Christian but...

Kjv has it's issues too so really the best practice is to study multiple translation in comparison to the interlinear Hebrew/Greek. Many scholars worked on the ESV and like the KJV it follows a word-for-word translation which is great. The Latin manuscripts had many errors as to what led to the...

I was asking him to explain his thinking. Anyway, if you try to teach others it is best to not use condescending language like this, .

I agree. But using modern trabslations we have to look at the footnotes as well due to the fact of textual criticism brought about during the Itialian Renaissance when the Greek language would be rediscovered by Eastern Europe. The ESV has the foundation of the KJV but uses textual...

I agree. They are definitely overlooked by some churches while other church focuses on them as an idol and a tool of deception.

So true. God created to be logical thinking beings as we are created in His image. We are to reflect Jesus which is called the Word that became flesh in John 1:1-14. Word in Greek is Logos and logos is where we get the English word for logic. We are to be like Christ, we are to be logical. But...

Love the ESV....

If you had to explain this verse to a new believer, how would you?

So often the critical Christian is a person who is gifted in discernment or one of the teaching gifts. John 7:24 (ESV) 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” They provide criticism which is often right but done in a sinful or prideful way. So the judgment may be...

How do you interpret the KJV version?

Here is an example of Grammarly in use on my phone. It goes more in depth with grammar on the website if use paste your content using a computer.

In my teaching preparations if books are involved I see the Kindle as a time-saving resource. Not only can you convert your whole library into the palm of your hand but it is also not as heavy. Downloading your library gives you access to your books without an internet connection. The...

Might as well. We need more isms to remember lol.

NWMP- Not Worth My Peace Identify the NWMPs in your life and you will find yourself more at peace every day. Things that you can not change, is it worth trading your peace for? Think of it as a trade. Anytime you feel led to wallow in an incident, words spoken, or certain memories. Is it...

It is also to note that people can be between Calvin and Arminian as both are in error. I personally find it weird to say I follow a mere human. 1 Corinthians 3:4 English Standard Version 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human...

I believe in depravity but not total as in we have no choice. Scripture says that none would choose God which is true but that is why God as a theistic God works in the realm of humanity so that everyone is without excuse. So we are depraved as sinners but God draws people unto Himself. It is on...

Another reason in a thread it may seem that it goes that way because for instance I was looking for further explanation but actual Calvinist or TULIP holding individuals poped in to defend the TULIP. For those who have been around the forums for years you often have to get people to further...

I do believe false teachings should be called out publicly and false teachers exposed. In scriptures, you see this everytime Jewish Christians would start trying to promote the Old Mosaic system.

3. All that are given to Jesus by the Father will come to Him and receive eternal life. In my original response I said, Leaving the door open for explanation. I agree with how you explain question three.

It is hard to say without seeing body language, facial expressions, or tone of voice. Nevertheless, it still stands as command even if some do it not in love. Disagreements arise due to multiple reasons. Limited knowledge (we are finite beings who only hold so much information) Wrong...
