Are Accurate Copies and Translations of Scripture-Such as the KJV-Inspired? A Study of 2 Timothy 3:16, part 4
Some have alleged that the grammar of 2 Timothy 3:16 requires a restriction of the Theopneustos of 2 Timothy 3:16 to the original manuscripts because of an alleged distinction in 2 Timothy 3:15-16 between the words grammata and graphe. One word supposedly speaks of the autographs, and the other word of copies. It is difficult to determine how exactly this argument is supposed to work, but, […]
More on Prayer
Hey. Before I get to more on prayer, what I think is the least popular biblical subject for anyone to talk about, I’m going to do a little house cleaning here. One, yesterday I posted the thing about my diet. I was 199 today, so that goal is reached in case you wondered. I’ve got […]
Not Nutri-System, Not Weight Watchers, But It’s Simple and I Lost 30 pounds in Less than 90 Days
In April, I preached at a conference and at that time I was 232 lbs. It’s not the most in my life. I’ve been up to 240 before. 230 to me has been a nasty top limit of weight. I say “nasty” because I shouldn’t be at the top limit. It is in fact a […]
The Definition of Faith or Belief and Prayer, pt. 2
Part One (and a recent related post) I should perhaps just call this series “prayer,” because that what it’s about. A couple of points before I dive into this again. One, people aren’t interested in prayer. People don’t buy books on prayer. My wife mentioned the book Prayer of Jabez, and, yes, that is a popular […]
Are Accurate Copies and Translations of Scripture-Such as the KJV-Inspired? A Study of 2 Timothy 3:16, part 3
In part 2 last Friday we concluded that “since the Authorized Version is an accurate translation of the perfectly preserved Hebrew and Greek Words dictated by the Holy Ghost, it is Scripture, and it is inspired.” This conclusion must be somewhat qualified, however. Two qualifications to the above must be made. 1.) Only Greek and […]
John Piper, Evangelicals and Fundamentalists, and Aesthetic, Cultural, Entertainment, and Attire Consistency
What great arguments John Piper gives for avoiding television shows like Game of Thrones! For decades, we haven’t had cable, so we couldn’t flip to it or couldn’t watch it without effort, but the fictional historical period would have piqued my interest before reading of the perversity of it. Piper reads the slide toward Gomorrah […]
The Definition of Faith or Belief and Prayer
James 1:6-7 reads, 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. The Lord requires faith to receiving anything in answer to […]
Are Accurate Copies and Translations of Scripture-Such as the KJV-Inspired? A Study of 2 Timothy 3:16, part 2
This is part 2 of this study; note part 1, which was posted last Friday. 1.) Accurate copies of the Greek and Hebrew words are inspired, since inspiration, in 2 Timothy 3:16, refers to a product. Paul instructs Timothy that the product of the written Scripture itself is both “inspired/God-breathed” and “profitable.” Neither “God-breathed” nor “profitable,” […]
Tabletalk, R. C. Sproul, and the Evangelical Foray into Ecclesiastical Separation
When I visited the Evangelical Theological Society meeting in San Francisco a few years ago, I scoured their mammoth book room for anything on separation and found none. I asked men on the panel on the Spectrum of Evangelicalism where they had anything on separation, and one of the panelists said it would be in […]
How Would You Like to Come and Teach at Bethel Christian Academy?
Our school, Bethel Christian Academy, needs an elementary school teacher. If you are reading this and you are perhaps that person or you know that person, let us know. We have a great church and a nice situation in the school. You might have a different degree, but you think you can do it, and […]
