Thank you so much for proving the entire point of the Christian message Duo
You are truly an awesome helper, used by God and you don't even know it...
That's right. EVERY person is a sinner! EVERYONE has lied! That's the poing and whole reason for Christs death on the cross. To DIE and receive the punishment for SINNING! And since He was sinless He could pay the price for everyone else who couldn't! And now he GIVES forgiveness and freedom from sin and all it's consequences to anyone who wants to receive it
That is the wonderful message of God to the world. Thank you for the preaching mate
You were great!
To comment your claims that I use different versions of the Bible whichever suits me at the moment - well, they are wrong, and pretty hilarious.
You ask for the right Bible, the original. Well, the origianl is the OT in Hebrew, and the NT in greek. OT was and still is accepted by all hebrew scholars as the original, and Jesus quoted it, and the disciples quoted it, as well as pieces of each others works. At the same time, all the disciples who heard and lived with Jesus, did live at the time that the 100s of letters and teachings of Jesus came to be, and so they kept the real writings and teachings, and the few that were false, they didn't pay attention to nor used. So when God wanted to put the old pact and the new pact together in one Bible for all the world to read (you know God DID and DO want the whole world to hear His message - which makes it pretty easy to understand why He wanted one collective Book) - He made the job easy for those He put together to do the actual work for Him. The fact is that God still, even today proves every word in the Bible to whoever acts on it. He has proven so much to me, healing me and so many others, blessing and aiding us at all the right times. God is good
You can easily read the hebrew and greek originals if you download e-sword for example. Of course, knowing that not everyone does have that or similar programs, or have the time to learn the languages, good Christian people translated it into english and various other languages so we can all enjoy Gods commands and promises to us. Now, yes the truth is that the translations of the Bible are not perfect, that's why I and most other Christians use a word for word translation. Like the KJV for example. Even if a few words may be translated with more then one word, for example the word for salvation means more then just that - it means healed, blessed, made whole etc - remember that next time you read that salvation is for you - you can be healed, blessed and made whole as well. All of it.
If you want that is. God will never give you anything you don't want. Which btw is why you don't understand Him, or what we Christians speak about. But even if a few words can be translated slightly different, the general will of God is easily understood.
I have an answer for all of your comments. You know it is possible for me to overlook one comment to me, and sometimes I see it, but don't have time to answer there and then - and if I at one time decide I don't want to answer, it will be because God tells me not to. You know, a time will come when you are given no more chances to repent by God. I hope you have not reached that point yet. I still pray for you.
You keep saying that we must think. I suggest you take your own advice to heart.
