Evangelicals Didnt Even Study for This Test
...this year, LifeWay used more stringent criteria for evangelical faith, as defined by some group called the National Association of Evangelicals. Only participants who called the Bible their highest authority, said personal evangelism is important, and indicated that trusting in Jesus death on the cross is the only way of salvation, were labeled evangelical. They totaled 586 survey-takers.
Everyone expected them to perform better than most Americans. No one expected them to perform worse. Seven in ten evangelicalsmore than the population at largesaid that Jesus was the first being God created. Fifty-six percent agreed that the Holy Spirit is a divine force but not a personal being. They also saw a huge increase in evangelicals (28 percent, up from 9 percent) who indicated that the Third Person of the Trinity is not equal with God the Father or Jesus, a direct contradiction of orthodox Christianity.
As before, its really the contradictory answers, not the outright heresies, that should most concern us. By definition, the evangelicals in this survey believed that only those who trust in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive Gods free gift of eternal salvation. Yet nearly half agreed that God accepts the worship of all religions including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
Former Newsday religion reporter Kenneth Briggs recently told Religion News Service that the faith he finds in mega-type churches is a Bible-less, alternative version of Christianity. Scripture, he says, has become a museum exhibit, hallowed as a treasure but enigmatic and untouched.

No.
The fight is with YOU!
You’ve posted a lot of nice pictures of molehills.
When can I expect to see the mountains?
In??
I sure wish those KJV ‘translators’ had been consistent!!
Aren't these the same problems found in churches that the angel told John to write to??
Does the KJV that you are using right now have the Apocrypha in it?
You two go at it while I pop up a fresh batch...
Even the KJV???
Ya happy now; Gideon?

There is no language older than Hebrew.
Hebrew is the language of creation.
The prophets bear this out completely.

>> “KJV translators ADDED to the written word.” <<
True, and mostly what they added is either completely unnecessary, or completely nonsense, as in the epistle to the Colossians where they added “is of” between body and Christ, which completely destroyed the meaning of the verse.
How about two?
Genesis 1:1

Looks like your KJV goes off of the rails REALLY soon; doesn't it!!!
.
Caught you on a bad hair day?
.
And it is written in GREEK!!!
Therefore, either the Holy Spirit wasn't protecting the Word of God when He allowed those books to be TRANSLATED!!
Next comes: The Holy Spirit wasn't protecting the Word of God when He allowed those books to be HAND COPIED incorrectly thru the ages!!!
Oooooh!
We have a prognosticator in our midst!
I would highly suggest that you take out your perfect KJV of the bible and read Acts chapter fifteen. If your church is doing any more (or less) than what is contained in that perfectly preserved letter, y'all might have some 'splainin' to do; Lucy.
(The one he is able to read anyway...)
Well, you made me have to dig out what you are say here.
Colossians 2:17 Context
14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Now I am left wondering...
Just what you consider to be the MEANING of the verse?
It’s a GOOD hair day; though not much of it.
If you’ve noticed; I’ve not posted much in the last week.
Passing a kidney stone took up a couple of agonizing days and then right behind that came a sinus infection that laid me low.
I just had my first real meal, in a long time, about 3 hours ago.
THANK YOU!!
