Sinners Reject God's Word and Create their own Theology
Yes, exactly like you, a hyper Calvinists do.
''I am a sinner, but fortunately for me I am preselected for grace and eternal bliss''.
Perhaps the most broken reading of scripture!!
Sinners Reject God's Word and Create their own Theology
I don't play games with narcissistic jokers.ROFL! That was a spoof just for you - looks like you are actually reading a sentence or two of the documented facts re: your beloved self-proclaimed heretics Westcott and Hort, as I copiously posted in this thread. But will you heed the truth and "adjust" your spew?
You're evidently too lazy to look up the ref yourself and prefer to play with links. Accordingly, you may now claim your "heretical" reward on page 233 by clicking here (or there --> "How certainly I should have been proclaimed heretic!")
Thanks for the bump(s).--![]()
Garee, they didn't have "sola scriptura" in the days of Jeremiah, or since then.
How can you say, "We are wise, and the law (Sola Scriptura) of the LORD is with us," when, in fact, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie?(Jer 8:8)
Only Jesus himself is the "Sola Scriptura."
(Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.)

That's not what the word "scriptura" (scripture) means.I would offer. sola scriptura (prophecy) began in the garden. The "let there be".
Then you don't HAVE any sola scriptura that can be trusted.Satan usurped it (sola scriptura) by adding to it.
Another sore loser.I don't play games with narcissistic jokers.
As I stated, that was purely for your benefit.(Took you long enough to correct your sophomoric errors.)
To further clarify that context for both of us re: those two heretics, Westcott and Hort:I see you have great troubles understanding context.
SINNERS REJECT GOD'S WORD AND CREATE THEIR OWN THEOLOGY
What do you think it means?That's not what the word "scriptura" (scripture) means.
But I doubt the facts will dissuade you from the fables you post
Sola scriptura (the bible alone) can be trusted. It is Satan who hates sola scriptura saying that it cannot be trusted bow down to him .Then you don't HAVE any sola scriptura that can be trusted.
Although ... even Jeremiah proclaimed that scriptura (the TORAH) was made into a lie.
How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us," when, in fact, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie?(Jeremiah 8:8 NRSV)
Now if you want to change "scriptura" into LOGOS and somehow arrive at a conclusion that Jesus is the living scriptura, well you, like all the rest, just descend into fantasy religions. So... have at it. I tried.
Hi Rhema thanks for the replyHi Garee,
I know you really like this verse. You quote it a LOT. But... you need to understand (you need to learn) that the word "heresies" is NOT an English word. It is a Greek word that was left untranslated, and merely copied from Greek to English letters. (And then took on a definition quite different from what the initial text meant.)
G139 - αἵρεσις - hairesis - heresies.
Your translation is lying to you. Even the Bishop's Bible from 1568 uses the word "sects."
This is the same thing with verse 18, where the English word "divisions" is used. The Greek word is G4978 - σχίσμα - schisma - schism. While "divisions" might be better than using "schisms," it still doesn't adequately translate the concept.
And NO, heresies doesn't mean "traditions." You are changing the words and presenting fiction in your posts - your own ideas.
So I provide two links for these words,
LINK to the Liddell Scott Lexicon for "heresies"
B. choice- which I believe is best represented in current English by the phrase "differences of opinion."
LINK to the Liddell Scott Lexicon for "schism" or "divisions"
II. division of opinion
I truly hope you are able to learn from my post, and that I hadn't wasted my time. Here is how your Bible should read:
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there IS CONFLICT among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also DIFFERENCES OF OPINION among you, that they which are approved (TRUSTWORTHY) may be made manifest among you.(1Co 11:18-19)
A TRADITION is where NO differences of opinion are allowed. And in most churches, not even discussions about a difference of opinion is allowed. Sometimes, that's even true here on this forum. So again, "heresies" does not mean "traditions," but merely "differences of opinion."
Blessings,
Rhema
When used in polite company, scripture means holy writings - whatever the collection of those written documents might be. There is (of course) Christian scripture; there is also Jewish scripture; and there is even Buddhist and Hindu scripture. Obviously the Q'ran is Muslim scripture.What do you think it means?
I seem to recall having actually said that.Heresy one of those words that seem to be mistranslated .
No Garee, I mean you make up stuff - fables - fantasies - fictions - that have no foundation in the meanings of the words as would be understood 2,000 years ago in the language now known as Koine Greek.Fables? Did you mean parables?. Which many do believe . Without them Christ the teacher spoke not
No. It can't. Even the prophet Jeremiah said this.Sola scriptura (the bible alone) can be trusted.
Yeah, well the rest of your post is a perfect example of a Garee Word Salad. And Bill never gave me the blueprints for his decoder ring.God protecting the integrity of the whole . No room for I heard it through the dying fathers grape vine . . .oral tradition of dying mankind .
ALL understanding of the meanings of scripture (the stuff written down) is a personal interpretation of somebody, even if a score of other people agree, UNLESS the actual VOICE of God speaks to you and says otherwise.Heresy an opinion or called a private interpretation or personal commentary.
As I stated, that was purely for your benefit.

Whether one likes it or not, words mean what the majority of people use the word to mean, and these meanings are collected and explained in a book called a dictionary.
Was there a particular reason wanted me look at this?"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to PLEROO (to Fix as in filling up a hole, whether in the street or in a mud wall).(Matthew 5:17 NRSV)
@Christ4Ever
Garee, you might want to look up the dictionary definition of "private." Definitions are complied from common usage of a LARGE population, not a private one.A Dictionary is considered a private interpretation,
Doesn't mean "fulfill" ... never did. Thought you'd might find that interesting.Was there a particular reason wanted me look at this?
Thanks .I love croutons on the Ranch .Lettuce take a private look LOLGaree, you might want to look up the dictionary definition of "private." Definitions are complied from common usage of a LARGE population, not a private one.
As for the rest of the word salad, it needs some croutons.

Go back to my OP and notice I quoted each verse from the KJV based on the Textus Receptus, and also the NRSVue based on the NA28. So arguments over what translation I quoted are beside the point, they do not negate the word of God posted.There is agreement between the 413 year old KJV, and the 3 year old NRSVue on many verses rejected by those who wish to teach doctrines foreign to the Holy Scriptures.
"Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle. For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses." (Jos 11:18-20 KJV)
"Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. There was not a town that made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon; all were taken in battle. For it was the LORD’s doing to harden their hearts so that they would come against Israel in battle, in order that they might be utterly destroyed and might receive no mercy but be exterminated, just as the LORD had commanded Moses." (Jos 11:18-20 NRSVue)
"The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." (Pro 16:4 KJV)
"The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble." (Pro 16:4 NRSVue)
"For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth." (Rom 9:17-18 KJV)
"For the scripture says to Pharaoh, 'I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I may show my power in you and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.' So then he has mercy on whomever he chooses, and he hardens the heart of whomever he chooses." (Rom 9:17-18 NRSVue)
"And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed." (1Pe 2:8 KJV)
“'A stone that makes them stumble and a rock that makes them fall.'” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do." (1Pe 2:8 NRSVue)
"But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;" (2Pe 2:12 KJV)
"These people, however, are like irrational animals, mere creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed. They slander what they do not understand, and as those creatures are destroyed, they also will be destroyed," (2Pe 2:12 NRSVue)
"For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." (Jud 1:4 KJV)
"For certain intruders have stolen in among you, people who long ago were designated for this condemnation as ungodly, who pervert the grace of our God into debauchery and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." (Jud 1:4 NRSVue)
The Bible, being a book about redemption by God, speaks of God's everlasting love, solely to His elect, which love cannot be said of those ending up in the everlasting lake of fire.
"In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer." (Isa 54:8 KJV)
"In overflowing wrath for a moment I hid my face from you, but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you, says the LORD, your Redeemer." (Isa 54:8 NRSVue)
"The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." (Jer 31:3 KJV)
"the LORD appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." (Jer 31:3 NRSVue)
"Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied." (1Pe 1:1-2 KJV)
"Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the exiles of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who have been chosen and destined by God the Father and sanctified by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and to be sprinkled with his blood: May grace and peace be yours in abundance." (1Pe 1:1-2 NRSVue)
From the BDAG on meaning of foreknowledge:
foreknowledge "predetermination, of God’s omniscient wisdom and intention (so Alex. Aphr., Fat. 30 p. 200, 31 Br.; Proverbia Aesopi 131 P.; Jdth 9:6; Just., D. 92, 5 πρόγνωσιν ἔχων) w. βουλή Ac 2:23. κατὰ πρόγνωσιν θεοῦ πατρός destined by God the Father (NRSV) 1 Pt 1:2 (Just., D. 134, 4; s. WArndt, CTM 9, 1929, 41–43).—DELG s.v. γιγνώσκω. M-M. TW."
From the Thayer on the meaning of foreknowledge:
foreknowledge "forethought, prearrangement (see προβλέπω): 1Pe 1:2; Act 2:23"
ALL understanding of the meanings of scripture (the stuff written down) is a personal interpretation of somebody, even if a score of other people agree, UNLESS the actual VOICE of God speaks to you and says otherwise.
Whether it's a mud wall or street, or God's Laws it's about making something ended/complete from its current state. I've always seen that the OT law could not do in and of itself is save/liberate a sinner.Doesn't mean "fulfill" ... never did. Thought you'd might find that interesting.
That's all.

Well that's just truly ... weird. Declaring that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation, and then continuing on to give your private interpretation - thereby purposefully contradicting yourself.Note . . .(purple) my private interpretation everyone has one
2 Peter 1:20-21Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.(personal commentary called a heresy or sect) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: (oral traditons as private interpretations of dying mankind) but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
It's even worse than you might think.Whether it's a mud wall or street, or God's Laws it's about making something ended/complete from its current state. I've always seen that the OT law could not do in and of itself is save/liberate a sinner.
