Whether or not your prior post was multi-choice, the way you worded the choice gave us no choice, because the wording was exactly the same for the "choices" you gave. So thank you fore now giving us the opportunity to answer properly. I am a monergist.

Although no doubt it is true that the KJV translators relied very much on Tyndale's earlier translation, and Tyndale had indeed been a Roman Catholic before he began translating the Bible, Tyndale was not a translator of the KJV, as he died in 1536, many years before the KJV was started.

But as I have said before, the context of those words of Jesus was hypocrisy - people praying in places such as street corners for the purpose of being seen by others. She wasn't in a private room, but in a ward with other patients and their visitors present. I never "belt out a prayer"...

Spiritually? Pretty grim - many churches seem to be going away from relying on the Bible, Weather? Cooling down, and getting some rain at last, after a very hot (for us) dry summer.

Good afternoon to you, too. :)

I agree that our ancestors were likely to have been RCs before the Reformation, but not the the translators of the KJV had once been Roman Catholics.

There was no such thing as "The Church of England" before Henry VIII's time. And the point surely is that Dave123 had claimed that the KJV had been translated by "ex-Catholics", and whatever the national church had been before Henry VIII, the translators as individuals had never been Roman...

The translators of the KJV were not former Catholics, but members of the Church of England.

I would say that it is possible to pray in a place where there are other people without showing off. We do not have to speak prayer aloud, or adopt some special bodily position for prayer. Before my wife died, I used to go with her when she attended hospital. The hospital is a public place...

I think we are almost agreeing. You seemed to be saying earlier that the only Biblical way to pray is to go into a room by yourself to do so. From what you have written now, it seems that you agree that it is fine for Christians to pray together. The Prohibition is against "praying" to show off.

But if Jesus meant that it was wrong for a Christian to pray in the company of other Christians, many Christians in the New Testament must have disobeyed. For example: NKJV Act 1:13 And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and...

That is not a parable, but a word picture, or metaphor, similar to when He said that He is the door, the Light, the true vine. A parable is a story. There is no story here. And it is not left for us as a "dark saying", because John goes on to say: NKJV Jhn 2:21 But He was speaking of the...

That is just nonsense. Sorry to be blunt, but it is. We don't have to believe that events which God has said have finished, like the Flood, the bringing of the Children of Israel out of Egypt, Jesus being a baby in a manger, are somehow still happening today in order to believe and show the...

The context in which you use those words always suggests that you are implying that the rest of us don't know the true God. Maybe that has not been your intention, but several different people have told you that it seems that way. That is why I object to you using it.

Yes I am asking that, because as far as I know, although the Bible often talks about Paul as an apostle, it never says that he was appointed to replace Judas. Yet it does say that Matthias was appointed to replace Judays: NKJV Act 1:15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the...

Well, I copied and pasted the entry from Strong's, and those words "Pisteuo means not just to believe" are not there. Even if they were there, Strong's does not say that pisteuo does not mean "to believe," and you claim that it doesn't, and that translators are wrong to translate it that way.

Not criticising, but I think you meant "To the Philippians," though I am sure Christians in the Philippines value that verse too. :)

But Strong's doesn't only give "reliance upon, commit unto, be committed unto." The entry says: "G4100 πιστεύω pisteuō pist-yoo'-o From G4102; to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing), that is, credit; by implication to entrust (especially one’s spiritual well being...

You keep saying that. Yet you also say that English doesn't have a verb from the noun "faith." When translating from one language to another, it cannot always be a word-for-word translation. Was it you that suggested making up a verb in Engish, "faithing"? The trouble with that is that you...

Well, perhaps you can tell me. Where are we told that Saul/Paul was a replacement for Judas?
