I believe you're just misunderstanding me, but that's ok.

Not sure what you mean. Where did the idea of three years come from? Thanks!

The Lord Jesus had to teach three different dispensations: the OT (Law); the NT (Gospel); the coming Kingdom (eternity). He gave that model prayer only to the Jews under the Law, before it was "taken away" (Heb 10:9).

Jesus was teaching Law when He gave the Jews the model prayer; it's conditional, that only if you forgive others. Christians will always forgive, because the Lord commanded it; and this forgiveness is conditional on the Lord Jesus Himself. Big difference between the two methods.

It's my belief that a believer doesn't sin on purpose. If we sin ignorantly the Spirit will convict until we know about it, confess, i.e. admit we sinned, and repent of it.

Yes, but a genuine Christian desires not to sin intentionally (Heb 10:25). Believers no longer desire to live after the sin nature (old man), because we are "not in the flesh" (Ro 8:9; 6:14). If anyone continues in willful sin, they have yet to be reborn. Immature believers are eventually...

When John wrote that we "cannot sin" it is in reference to desiring after sin, sinning "willfully" (Heb 10:26) or "presumptuously" (Num 15:28, 30). The sins of one reborn are never intentional. What believer would ever want to purposely offend God? The whole point is that the "old man" can no...

Does God need to repeatedly forgive His children? What would such a need be, seeing He knows all we desire is to please Him; and this He assures (Phl 2:13). There is allowance for babes in Christ, who may yet have a habitual sin to give up, but He eventually brings all to the same knowledge...

“The doctrine of preservation does not guarantee the preservation of the autographs, for they perished within a few years after their writings. Neither does it guarantee the accuracy of the copies, because errant men copied them. It does guarantee that the complete contents of the infallible...

It’s my understanding that the word “perfect” concerning a translation is mostly in reference to being complete, entire, and plenary. Thus, only translations derived from that majority of extant manuscripts contain all of Word of God (Mat 4:4)! Studying a translation which has much less...

Not to challenge you in any way, just wanted you to know that the ASV is also a translation from the Critical Text, or as I like to call it, the "Briefed Text."

It can be trustingly assumed that God's Word would be contained in the right translation, as He would not withhold any of His Words to us. It just has to be plenary first (Mat 4:4), even though the translation isn't perfect; this is how God works--using the sinful for good. He uses believers for...

The Lord Jesus Christ lived and spoke to His apostles while He was on earth, and in His natural state; and He chose Paul to reveal many things that nobody knew about. He appeared and spoke to Paul from the “glorified state” (about 8 years after His resurrection). Isn’t it like the Father to...

“As the Emperor Constantine embraced Christianity, it became necessary for him to choose which Bible he would sanction. He preferred the one edited by Eusebius and written by Origen, the outstanding intellectual figure that had combined Christianity with Gnosticism in his philosophy, even as...

Amen, and having the right Bible is the best for a maturing Christian. One of the two Bible sources is corrupt to detract from one's spiritual growth (but most Christians do not read much of the Word yet). All translations are derived by only 2 sources: the Majority Text (containing most extant...

And it's most encouraging to know you will eventually be brought through all the storms, without fail!

A lady traveling alone on a cruise ship became very concerned about the stormy waters they were encountering on the sea. It was an older vessel and was taking quite a beating, so she hurriedly went to the Captain’s helm, found the Captain and asked him what are we going to do? He calmly said, do...

Sorry, had wrong post!

The admin has my agreement is they want to move it.

The reason why people trust KJV only is because they are unaware of other translations that come from the same source as the KJV, like the Webster Translation, Young's Literal Translation and about 6 other translations. None of the modern translations derived from the Minority Text contains the...
