Hey guys! It has been a while, but I am back on. I don’t really expect that I would be remember by any senior members here, since people come and go all of the time on this site. I haven’t been on here for several years now, but I went under the username Spokenpassage. Apparently my account was...

I'm not an expert in textual criticism, but if I am not mistaken the King James Version has had several updates from the original, and that at least 90% of it was taken word for word from an earlier translation known as the Geneva Bible (which was also the first bible translation with...

Well, I find it strange that many Protestants today celebrate it, when many in the early days didn't recognize any other day as special than the Lord's Day, or the Christian Sabbath. The argument in the day wasn't necessary about any sort of pagan origins, but that our worship should be...

Our corruption began in Adam when he committed the first transgression in the garden. To answer your question, I would say he did know the outcome. But to go even further, he also planned that it would happen, that the purpose he had in Jesus Christ may reach all of us who were to come after Adam.

God does both. He chose us before the foundation of the world, so that we may believe in Christ.
