The Narrow Path Ministries

Here's one that immediately came to mind: Let not yours be the outward adorning with braiding of hair, decoration of gold, and wearing of fine clothing, but let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable jewel of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. I Pet...

I just checked out a few key verses where other translations are incorrect. The Catholic New Jerusalem Bible was right on in all of them.

Does it help the discussion in any way to realize that the primary meaning of γενναω is "produce" or "generate" or "beget" and not "give birth ". Jesus said to Nicodemus, "You must be produced again" or "you must be generated again" or "You must be begotten again." In the geneology of Mathew 1, the ...

I almost wish I had just done a thread on: "spiritual death": is this concept biblical?
That way, we would have kept things simpler, started at an easier-to-understand beginning.

So why not change the title even now by editing your initial post?

What I am getting at is What were the OT individuals "promised" as mentioned in Hebrews. You probably refer to the promise mentioned in the passage I quoted: Hebrews 11:39,40 It appears to refer to the promise mentioned in verses 8 and 9 of the same chapter: By faith he sojourned in the land of pro...

Another point that might be made to the man, is that whites aren't the only ones responsible for the fact that slaves were brought over from Africa to America. Many of them had been captured by other black Africans and sold to the white slavers.

Thanks, Todd. One other point that came to mind. There are many people (and I personally know of a couple of cases) who on their death bed curse God and express much anger and hatred toward God and toward all people. They die in total rebellion. It seems inconceivable that, immediately after their d...

Todd, you still believe the judgments of God are for this life only? Do not our observations reveal that many in this life go on sinning grievously throughout their whole lives with no apparent judgments upon them? Job's friends believed Job's suffering was the result of his sin, but Job know that m...

Rick asked: Why don't other translations translate it like this? I don't know why, but I do know that a few do. The Concordant translation has it: Yet from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you are not to be eating from it, for in the day you eat from it, to die shall you be dying ." Gn 2...
