DOES PSALM 12:6 refer to the KJV version ? "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." (Psalm 12:6) - As Christians we are suppose to study, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. I am sorry to say that the KJV only camp does is one of the worst exegesis of this verse .... in some sense I am no surprised as a lot of people in the KJV only camp are fond of eigesis instead of doing proper exegises (May God forgive them for mishandling His Words, adding to what His Words really mean .... for they know not what they do .... or do they ?) Arguments that Psalm 12:6 does not apply to the KJV are as follows: ARGUMENT #1 - This is a completely wrong interpretation of the verse. Frankly speaking I am ashamed to call myself of pastor if this is the way I interpret the verse. Such interpretation of the said verse that it refers to the KJV is one of the many lies, illogical fallacies and serious misinterpretation of Scripture that the KJV … [Read more...]
Is election unto salvation corporate or individual ?
Being a staunch 5 point Calvinist I frequently come across statements in my interaction with non-Calvinist. Since it takes me a while to write a response to them, I have decided to turn my responses into blogpost. Here is a statement from my a dear brother with regards to whether election to salvation is corporate or is it individual and below is my response STATEMENT: I agree with your statement that the doctrine of election can be found all over Scriptures but I don't think that individual election to salvation is taught in the Bible. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not an Arminian. I have problems with the Arminian view of Eternal Security so I don't consider myself to be one. So I'm neither. I go with what the Bible teaches. I have read a lot about this issue and had been thinking which side is correct. Finally, I came to the conclusion that Calvinism is not taught in the Bible. Though I won't say I'm that knowledgeable about it since I only do personal study and don't … [Read more...]
Response to KJV Only arguments on Proverbs 30:28
Here once again is another response to a non-sensical, illogical argument made by KJV onlyist that only the KJV got the translation right in Proverbs 30:28. "empirical evidence" ? What evidence is he talking about ? hmmmm…. Dealing with this kind of twisted logic is such a waste of time, but I won’t let this get away so that everybody may know how the KJV Only camp employs twisted kind of logic such as this just to prove something. Let this be a showcase of KJV Onlyisms sick logic. The argument of the above meme can be presented syllogistically as follows: Argument 1: Premise 1: There are 1 million spiders per acre of land on earth Premise 2: 100% of homes in North Carolina has spiders in them Conclusion : It is easy for Kings to have a lizard free palace, but not so for spiders as EVERYBODY HAS HOUSE SPIDERS. Not everybody has house lizards. Argument 2: Premise 1: Everybody has house spiders Premise 2: Not everybody has house lizards Conclusion: The King … [Read more...]
Response to KJV onlyist arguments on Proverbs 18:18
In my usual interaction with KJV onlyist online, I saw this (once again very annoying and misinformed) meme alleging that the New King James Version is a defective translation as opposed to the King James Version. The problem issue is actually with the Hebrew word “laham” (לָהַם)This Hebrew word could either mean to burn in, ranke – wound or could mean swallow greedily, swallowed, dainties, delicacies, choice morsels, dainty morsels. As in any word with multiple meanings, context is therefore the key to drawing out the right meaning of this word in this particular context. The verse says “Prov. 18:8 The words of a talebearer are like ___________, And they go down into the inmost body.” Now which would make sense ? Wounds going down into the inmost body or dainties, delicacies, choice morsels, dainty morsels ? Take note that whatever is likened to is likened to the “words of the talebearer.” Obviously, dainties, delicacies, choice morsels, dainty … [Read more...]
Why do protestants disagree with the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation in the Lord’s supper ?
There are differing views among the various Christian denominations with regards to “Real Presence of Christ in the Lord’s Supper. This is a controversial issue; so controversial that even Protestants among themselves have differing views, however none of the Protestants adopt the Roman Catholic view of transubstantiation although Luther’s view while rejecting transubstantiation, is regarded as that closes to the Roman Catholic view among the Protestant views. For the sake of Protestants not familiar with the term, transubstantiation is the Roman Catholic doctrine that changes the substance or essence of the bread and wine offered during the mass. Roman Catholics believe that the bread is transformed into the body of Christ while the wine is transformed into His blood. As in other matters, Roman Catholicism goes beyond the bounds of Scriptures and holds on to transubstantiation. Why do the Protestants disagree with the Roman Catholic church’s position regarding … [Read more...]
