    Jesus' birthday revealed!

    Jesus was born on Nisan 1, 5 BCE. Why Nisan 1? 1. Because it is exactly the same day that God's presence filled the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 40:2, Exodus 40:34). This event was a shadow that foretold the incarnation of God (John 1:14, the greek word "skenoo" literally means "to tent" ). On the...

    Should I use the KJV ?

    First of all, ANY translation, by its nature, is inferior to the original language text. This is because any time you translate a document, you lose something of the original meaning. It is inevitable. There is no such thing as an exact translation. It just doesn't exist. The best you can...

    Should I use the KJV ?

    It seems like you have focused only on the translation and the language. But that's not the fundamental criticism of the KJV and its sources.

    Should I use the KJV ?

    Any translation allows for error. Even original texts can be misunderstood. Some parts of the KJV are outright deliberate changes to the original -such as substituting Easter for Passover, etc. I find it best to use Bible search software -looking at many translations -and the Strongs definitions...

    Should I use the KJV ?

    Ironically, although JWs love to criticize the KJV now, prior to publishing the New World Translation in the 60s, the KJV was their preferred translation. My dad owns a KJV printed by the Watchtower.

    Should I use the KJV ?

    Can I ask.... Do you want a translation for more accuracy in message or easier to read? I think many are putting more faith in how the bible is translated and not the message it translates...you look to scriptures as if It has eternal life, but even it speaks on my behalf. It seems to make...

    Should I use the KJV ?

    Repeatedly we hear that the best translation is the KJV bible. Sometimes, that it is the only bible inspired of God. Without a doubt its ubiquitous, and thus impossible to ignore. Let's start with comments about the person of King James himself: King James became the first earthly monarch to...

    What is the Christian definition of the word "soul"?

    The connotations that the English “soul” commonly carries in the minds of most persons are not in agreement with the meaning of the Hebrew and Greek words as used by the inspired Bible writers. The original-language terms (Heb., ne'phesh [נפׁש]; Gr., psy·khe' [ψυχή]) as used in the Scriptures...

    What do you think the biggest misunderstanding about Christmas is?

    I can find No biblical support that the un-numbered magi were shown the birth from guidance of the star. I find the *star* led the magi to Jerusalem to Herod. By the time the magi found Jesus he was No longer a baby but a young child in a 'house'. Since Herod had boys age 2 and younger put to...

    Would a simulated human consciousness disprove the existence of a soul?

    Well, that may be true, but the soul according to the Bible is something totally different than the soul according to traditional mainstream Christianity, which was inspired by pagan beliefs and Greek philosophy. The "soul" according to the Bible is the life, life experiences and all that...

    Looking For A Smart Atheist

    OK, Genesis 19 seems to link Lot living to Lot's soul living, so seems to make the equivalence between the two. Numbers 23 seems to just talk about the person dying and nothing about the soul. Joshua 2 doesn't mention souls, only death. Judges 5 doesn't mention souls, only death. Judges 16...

    Looking For A Smart Atheist

    Let's see what kind of difficulties you may encounter with these verses. Genesis 19:19-20; Numbers 23:10; Joshua 2:13-14; Judges 5:18; Judges 16:16, Judges 16:30; 1 Kings 20:31-32; Psalms 22:29; Ezekiel 18:20; Matthew 2:20; Matthew 26:38; Mark 3:4; Hebrews 10:39; James 5:20

    Why is the Bible even considered in the first place as being foundational for Christianity?

    You are aware of the controversy concerning the Textus Receptus upon which the King James Bible is based? Your CreationWiki article source conspicuously avoids any mention of the Textus Receptus altogether in fact.

    Why is the Bible even considered in the first place as being foundational for Christianity?

    >>It's clear he did not even know what the Bible was.<< Sigh. Wrong again. Atheists are usually wrong. "The King James Version of the Bible is also called the Authorized Version, because the translation was authorized by King James I of England. The preface of the KJV dedicates the work “To...

    Was Jesus born on Christmas?

    "Notice that the account states just “wise men,” not “three wise men,” and that they first traveled from the east to Jerusalem, not to the birth city of Jesus, Bethlehem. By the time they finally reached Bethlehem, Jesus was a “young child”—no longer a baby—and no longer in a stable but in a...

    There were not three of them.It never implies this.3 gifts does not determine the number of Magi.We know that the Magi did not see baby Jesus right away because the trip would last long.If you go to the Greek Interlinear and read Matthew 2:11 it says child not infant.paidion παιδίον (child)...

    Was Jesus born on Christmas?

    @Bible Student True, that the Holy Bible, King James Version (KJV), does not say: 1. There were three kings. There is no “magi” in the KJV. Matthew 2:1, 7, 16 say “wise men”. 2. There were three of them. Assumed based on the number of gifts given—gold, myrrh, and frankincense. (Matthew...

    Is Hamas Being Delusional?

    I am jewish. Palestine as you said was coined by the romans. It means Phillistines whom have nothing to do with the present day arabs living in judea and samaria. "Palestine" was part of the british empire. Before that it was part of the Ottoman Empire. 4/5ths of the actual british...
