Micah

Some ministers tell that to parents when their child dies.

What comfort would believing this bring to grieving parents?

If Jesus is The Lord, then who was the "Lord" they presented Jesus to?

According to the KJV he does. Do you feel that Almighty God has a Father?

Revelation 1:6---"And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Another version renders that verse this way:

Revelation 1:6

New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

The NRSV version makes more sense. What do you think?

If hell is an eternal punishment, then why does hell deliver up the dead which are in it?

Why are they then judged a second time?

Perhaps hell is not a place of punishment, but rather the resting place for all who have died and this will be the resurrection of the just & unjust that the Bible speaks of.

What are your thoughts on this?

Revelation 20:13 (King James Version)

"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."

King James Version

Romans 2:11

"For there is no respect of persons with God"

Do you think that perhaps it should be translated " for there is no partiality with God" or "there is no favoritism with God"

Is this prayer to Michael something you do often ?

Saint Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle.

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;

and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -

by the Divine Power of God -

cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,

who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

For example

Matthew 23:14

New King James Version (NKJV)

14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

But in the New Revised Standard Version

Matthew 23:14

King James Version (KJV)

Error: 'Matthew 23:14' not found : New Revised Standard Version.

Several Bibles omit this verse and claim it is not in the original manuscripts. Why is it in versions but not others?

" cold as hell"

" rot in hell"

Some believe that hell is mankind's grave. Those two expressions make sense if that is the case.

What are your thoughts on this?

Would that make him the Father of Christ's Mass?

What are your thoughts on this?

In the King James Version it reads

Genesis 25:29

King James Version (KJV)

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

Sod pottage? Any idea what that would mean if only using this version?

I found out it means "cooked a stew"

The English language has certainly changed.

Is there any council in the Bible regarding this?

1 Peter 3:19

New King James Version (NKJV)

by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison

The KJV renders the word as Alleluia.

Revelation 19:6

Byington Version

And I heard what seemed as if it were the voices of a great crowd and the sound of much water and the pealing of strong thunders, all saying “Hallelujah, because the Lord our God Almighty has come into his reign!

throughout their marriage? The Bible states that Jesus had brothers & sisters. How do you explain that?

Matthew 13:55-56

"why, this is the carpenter’s son, his mother is named Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judah, and his sisters are all of them among us—so where does this man get all this?”

Jonah 2:2

King James Version (KJV)

And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

The ASV renders that verse:

Jonah 2:2

American Standard Version (ASV)

And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I, And thou heardest my voice.

Surely the Devil would have known if Jesus was God.

The Bible states that God cannot be tempted with evil. Satan is evil so why would he even try to tempt Jesus if he knew it would be useless. Satan knew the Scriptures and even quoted them.

James 1:13

English Standard Version (ESV)

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

Especially with Jesus ruling as King?
