A Real Bible Study for Born Again Christians

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Absolutley not.

Absolutely yes. Tell me where in the KJV one can find the following books: Tobit, Baruch, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus (Sirach), 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, seven chapters of the Book of Esther, 66 verses of the third chapter of Daniel, called the Song of the Three Children, and the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of Daniel which were discarded by the Reformers? Had Luther gotten his way, even more of Sacred Scripture would have been deleted; as but one example he referred to The Epistle of Saint James as "... an epistle of straw, with no character of the gospel in it."

Apocalypse 22:19 "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book."

[Alas]

With the number of people we expect to have looking over every word written, and with all using the same version, the KJV, we should end up with one great, yet easy to read bible.

God willing. For it is in the hands of Yeshua.

[Alas]

Better yet, you tell me where Christ Jesus ever quoted from any of those so called missing books.

[Alas]

Thank you.

The church we attend studies the Bible verse by verse..precept upon precept. It's the only way to truly study the Bible, imho. <><

[Psalm 73]

Hey, thank you.
My personal favorite is New KJV, but I also enjoy KJV, NIV, The Good News, and even The Living Bible sometimes.
Oh, Amazing Grace...

Are you writing another version of the Bible? Not that it matters to me that much, I am just curious. The post I am replying to makes it sound like it.

[Alas]

You might memtion this study to your pastor, it is a great way for new Christians to get involved in a bible study, and with him available to answer questions that arise.

But please tell him to ask them not to comment except to him, our pastor is going to be very busy reading what well gounded Christians are saying. Already one small error has been corrected.

God has blessed you to have such a pastor.

[B Knotts]

FYI:

New American Bible

[homeschool mama]

I'll pass the info along to him. Thank you.

[Alas]

Are you writing another version of the Bible?

No, only using color and paragraphs to make the KJV a bit easier along with a few other things, check it out and I think you'll see what Pastor is doing.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Better yet, since you are the heretic you provide me with all of Christ's quotes of Sacred Scripture in the New Testament.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

I go for The new Jerusalem Bible myself.

[spoosman]

What is a heretic?

[Dimensio]

Absolutley not. Read the last few verses of Revelatin 22 to see why.

I'm curious -- and I'm not trying to incite a flame-war here, but I'm wondering why the final verses of the book of Revelation are taken to apply to the entirety of the Bible. The New Testament of the Bible was assembled from various independent preexisting writings; it was not a single work created all at once. Shouldn't the final verse of Revelation only apply to the book of Revelation, since it was written as an individual piece and there were no real comprehensive scriptures known to the author outside of the Torah at the time?

[OWK]

What is a heretic?

Heretic: see -Galileo

[Alas]

I took his reference to abridged as meaning on of the new shortened versions of the bible, like the one put out by Readers Digest. In those, all of the books, including the Book of Revelation have been both edited and shortened.

[spoosman]

What is taking this poster so long with coming up with a definition of the word heretic? BTW, good one on that Galileo, lol.

I think if 10% of the people who make religious claims would spend more time practicing what they purport to believe in, and less time preaching, the world would be a much happier place. And believe me, that definitely goes for me too.

[spoosman]

Meant to say NINETY (90%)

I have real difficulty thinking of free (in any context) in conjunction with Bob Celeste.
