Thanks Frank for your post. I remember reading that comment that you mentioned and thinking this is the kind of nonsense that I have seen in far to many churches that we had attended. My elderly Dad recently came to the Lord and left the RC cult. He is attending a solid reformed Presbyterian assembly in his town.But gasp...they use the ESV.
B. I would agree with most of your thoughts. I use in my own personal study the AV and find it to be the best translation bar none. My point in posting is that there are a growing number of KJV elitists who border on idolatry of this version and would give the impression that one could not possibly be a saved individual if they owned and read another version. Very immature thinking and adding to the gospel of free and sovereign grace on their part.
I listen to two teachers of God’s Word who teach from the ESV and NKJV, I have been blessed and have learned more from them than others who strictly use the AV.🤷♀️
My son is in the medical field and is in and out of hospitals in his county daily. Today at the hospital in his hometown there were only 4 people in hospital. His town is a population of over 50,000.00 people. We are being lied to folks concerning the people who have this ‘virus’ and dying from it. My town has 4 known cases, and we are in shutdown till the end of May.😳
The pc correctness of the bane of feminism has also been embraced, celebrated and tolerated by modern evangelicals for years. The worship of women is alive and well in those professing Christ as well as reprobates. Until this canker is soundly repudiated by faithful preachers the assemblies will continue to erode. This too is a judgement of God.Isaiah 3:12.
Brother US- trust you and your family are well. We are hopeful that at the end of April they will open up our state again.I truly pray for that as all my children and grandchildren are temporarily?unemployed and are experiencing hardship and depression, as most of the world is too. May our good and gracious Lord help us all to reflect on this judgement and turn to Him as our only source of peace and joy.
I disagree with FG on many issues, but on this matter he is spot on and good to see him speak out on the importance of compliance with the stay at home mandate.
Frank, my husband and myself have determined that 12 feet apart or perhaps alone in another room would be most beneficial for our personal at home ‘social distancing’.
Sorry for your loss, Mike. A quote from Scottish Pastor Samuel Rutherford. “Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God.If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them”. Praying God’s comfort for you and yours.
Christians are not under Old Testament tithing law. We cheerfully give to those who faithfully preach Jesus Christ and His Gospel of free and Sovereign Grace. Galatians 6:6-10.
A lyric of acountry song by Charlie Daniels addresses those who rape and abuse. “You just take those perverts out to the swamp put them on their knees and tie them to a stump.Let the bugs, and the rattlers, and the alligators to the rest”.
