I'm fairly sure the original 1611 version included it.

Do you include the apocrypha?

I stand by my previous post and reasons, which you haven't addressed here. The leadership in the North was deported and replaced, certainly. But most of the populace remained in place to be ruled by Assyria. And you still haven't dealt with the verses I posted. The North wasn't a viable...

Doubtful that's the full story. I've posted my reasons already. Looks too simplistic to me and doesn't account for all the available data. Not sure what you mean by non-reference. I can give sources if you need...

Most of them probably never went anywhere. Some of them may have fled to Judah and the Assyrians probably just deported mostly the leadership. And there is evidence that Assyria didn't deport the entire population. (1) In 2 Chron 30, Hezekiah invites people of Ephraim, Manasseh, Asher...

Based on vs 15-16, it looks like the first time God rescued Israel was during the Exodus and the second time would be the Assyrian exile.

Taken away from who? The leadership in Jerusalem: 21:23 ".... the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him ...." And given to who? Jesus' followers (specifically the disciples, 28:16-20). This has nothing to do with taking the Kingdom of God from "The Jews" and giving it to...

We aren't talking about Gideon specifically though are we? I didn't say Gideon's win wasn't a miracle. My statement was that an underdog winning or winning a war in general wasn't miraculous in principle. Your post is a specific event that in no way counters my point. What you would have to...

I doubt it was a miracle. There's nothing miraculous in principle about winning wars or being an underdog and yet winning.

You do seem to try to address a natural objection: if believers are always to be healed, then why do some die even though their faithful? I don't think your post really addresses this objection though because it fails to explain the fact that even though you claim believers can be healed by...

In evaluating the system and existence of the state itself, it's neither biblical nor unbiblical on principle. Instead, it's unrelated. It's a state in the same manner that France is a state, the US is a state, Germany is a state...etc.. It's government is a Parliamentary democracy with...

Is 63:10 But they rebelled And grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them. How can an impersonal "thing" be grieved? Not to mention that this verse could be read that His Spirit became their enemy and fought against them. A problem with...

I don't think Isaiah 9:6 is about God's ontological nature, but rather about functions of the king. The king was the "father" of the people in the sense that he was their ruler and protector. "Everlasting" probably refers to the throne/dynasty as everlasting as God had promised David's dynasty...

In Hebrew, as in many languages, verbs and subjects agree in number and gender. So if the verb is "bara" (which in Gen 1:1 is masculine, singular) and the subject is "elohim," then it seems that "elohim" is intended to be singular as well. This doesn't have anything to do with unitarianism vs...

Well, since the solar year isn't 364 days and since this discrepancy wasn't caused by stars who were angels that rebelled against God, then it looks pretty wrong to me. That or the angel Uriel didn't know the motion of planets around the sun.

Well, don't feel silly. Other people would disagree with the way I see it and they'll probably be on this thread shortly. :)

I think the point of the story is that Yahweh was on Israel's side and he was defending them against the oracles of Balaam. Every time Balaam tries to curse Israel, he ends up blessing them instead. The funny thing is that Balaam keeps trying even though it's "obvious" that he's being opposed...

Whatever it is, Psalm 82 reads as if they're sentenced to death by Yahweh for their failure to rule justly, defend the weak, needy, orphans, and destitute. They're further condemned for their complete ignorance. So I suppose they're dead.

It doesn't mention Russia, Iran, Turkey, or Syria.

...today (6 Jan) if you're Armenian or tomorrow (7 Jan) if you're Eastern Orthodox or Coptic. But don't mind me and the Western fascination with 25 Dec and the ephemeral connections with Saturnalia, solstice, Sol Invictus or some other arbitrary festival.
