Re: When were the gospels written?
Thanks Jac - Excellent post. That is what I thought. Although I never that about Matthew - fascinating. The reason I asked is because I started reading a book on Christian history and straight away the author said that the Gospels were obviously written after the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD, yet gave...

Re: Ang Lee's Movie "Life of Pi's" False Assertions
The passage to which CT referred, Isaiah 5:20-24 (NASB): Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight! Woe to t...

Re: Ang Lee's Movie "Life of Pi's" False Assertions
Haven't seen the movie, but I had a question about the take on the ending. Is it simple pluralism or more particularly the idea that personal choices are "true" for the chooser and this is the only "truth" possible? Pluralism has been around a long time; the idea that "truth...

Grew up in a Lutheran church, so organ and pre-1900 hymns (the hymnal was published in 1941). In the 1970s, the praise choruses that were in common use among charismatic churches; in the 1990s and 2000s we were at a charismatic church that used music similar to what Integrity/Hosanna was putting out...

Re: Bible Teachings or Traditions of Men?
I know from debating literally dozens of Trintarians at various websites that they refuse... downright refuse to be corrected by the scriptures. They will jump through hoops, making things up as they go, in order to NOT SUBMIT TO CORRECTION from God's inspired word, the Judeo-Christian Bible. Serio...

Re: What are your denominations? and a question I have...
Where to start ...? First of all, I am a Christian believer.That is what I identify with, not a denomination. My background ... let's see if I can do this briefly.

Re: Why do Jehovah Witnesses have 'book' studies?
May look into it. Raymond Franz is the nephew of the late Fred W. Franz, who was president of the Watchtower Society after Nathan H. Knorr died. IIRC, Raymond was a key writer in the WT's 1970s Bible encyclopedia, Aid to Bible Understanding . Raymond also gave the names of four men who he said were ...

Re: Why do Jehovah Witnesses have 'book' studies?
Prior to 1950 the Watchtower Society published the KJV, the American Standard Version, and a Greek-English interlinear titled the Emphatic Diaglott , written by a Christadelphian named Benjamin Wilson in the early 1830s. The Watchtower Society was founded in the late 1800s and bought the rights to t...
