>>854 I see that you are not born from the Word of God for you scoff at his word which he has preserved for all of us who speak english. You have been confused and blinded by the deceptions of theology. The time is nigh for his coming, anon. Put away the dung (as my brother Paul called it) and seek God in his Word, which is the KJV for us who speak english and he will reveal all truth to you, just like he did to me.

>>777 Why do leftists act like they have no soul?

>>850 I directly quoted 2 Peter 2:12-15 and 18-21. You may not be familiar with that passage or else you would have recognized this. I gave the chapter and book for you in the original post in case you wanted to look up the entire thing. I am sorry if the reading format is not ideal for you, but please read the entire book and the whole New Testament by all means. >>848 Yes, I quoted directly 2 Peter 2:12-15 and again 18-21. You can see that I copied it directly. You can see where the text aligns in your post with all of 2 Peter 2 (KJV) if you just do a ctrl-F search. >>856 All he did was post the Greek original form of the verse. I went and checked. Nothing wrong there. It means the same thing as any accurate translation of the text, like the KJV. Remember: We should have charity toward one another. The apostle Paul instructed us thus in 1 Corinthians 13. Again, we are told in 1 Timothy 6 (again) to avoid making evil surmisings, among other things, as seen here: 1 Timothy 6: >3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; >4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, >5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. Praise our Lord for his infinite wisdom. (Romans 11:33-35, Psalm 147:5-6, Isaiah 55:8-9).

>>857 They are reprobate by desire so that they may be as a reprobate by thought and deed. Satan's counterfeit of life.

>>777 What site is this? And what is 4chud? I can't keep up with all the altchan sites. All I care about are anon cafe, the /a/ bunker, and occasionally nanochan. >>802 >8/christian/ was getting trolled into oblivion It wasn't. It was denominational fighting that found its way into the moderation. Not that theological arguments aren't good and healthy, but when you have mods deleting threads just wanting to help people learn Greek, there's an issue. >>857 Materialism was Soviet state policy. Marxism is built on a rejection of anything higher than the physical world.

It should be obvious to any christian that the effeminate man portrayed is not Jesus.

Indeed, OP. It is quite telling that forces of this world have tried to create a visual link between the person of Christ, and this 16th-century Italian noble whose debauchery became the inspiration for one of the most god-hating publications of our times, Machiavelli's The Prince. Not to mention his appearance is presented as somewhat effeminate as well. This book teaches its reader to promote lies knowingly and superstitions, and pretend outwardly to be Christian (in name only), in order to keep control over the people. We see this in Catholicism of the modern day. [Source for pic related quote is Mysterium iniquitatis by Philippe de Mornæi (Saumur, 1611), page 1368.] Back in 1577, the atheism of Machiavelli and the Italians in question was called out by a Frenchman who lived at that time called Pierre de La Primaudaye. For added context to this discussion, I quote his summary of the situation on atheism and Machiavelli below, for those with the reading comprehension. ...So a man would think that France, having been for these thirty years & upwards almost continually scourged with civil wars, and that for the cause of religion, should be so far from being stained with the least spot of Atheism, as that it might now at the length truely say with the Prophet David, "It is good for me that I was afflicted," for thereby have I learned to keep thy law. And yet both this our Author and some other of that nation, knowing that this infection hath seized upon many of their country-men, have laboured by their writings to suppress the same. And surely it is greatly to be feared, that as their disguised attire covereth the bodies of many of our people, and maketh them deformed, so this poison of Atheism hath passed the narrow seas, and is landed in the hearts of no small number, to their utter destruction both of body and soul. Neither is this the fear of some few without any ground, but of a great many wise and godly Christians, who seeing the general profaneness of mens' lives almost everywhere, both publicly cry out against the present infection, and privately bewail the future evils that necessarily follow the same. And albeit peradventure there be none amongst us, that are so far gone in Atheism as Ligneroles a French Courtier of late days was, who is said to have made open profession thereof, yet if the tree may be judged of by the fruits, and the outward effects of mens' lives do shew the inward affections of their hearts, he that hath but half an eye may see, that there are a great many amongst us of those foolish men of whom David speaketh, "Who say in their hearts that there is no God." In the forefront of which company, the students of Machiavels principles and practicers of his precepts may worthily be ranged. This bad fellow whose works are no less accounted of among his followers, than were Apollo's Oracles among the Heathen, nay than the sacred Scriptures are among sound Christians, blusheth not to belch out these horrible blasphemies against pure religion, and so against God the Author thereof, namely, "That the religion of the heathen made them stout & courageous, whereas Christian religion maketh the professors thereof base-minded, timerous, & fit to become a pray to every one": "that since men fell from the religion of the Heathen, they became so corrupt that they would believe neither God nor the Devil: that Moses so possessed the land of Judaea, [just] as the Goths did by strong hand usurp part of the Roman Empire. These and such like positions are spewed out by this hell-hound sometime against true religion, otherwhiles against the religion and Church of Rome, sometimes also taxing the religion of the heathen, of falsehood, and cousinage: so that in truth he would have all religion to be of like account with his disciples, except it be so far forth as the pretence and show of religion may serve to set forward and effect their wicked pollicies. And for this cause he setteth down this rule for every Prince and Magistrate to frame his religion by, namely, that he should pretend to be very religious and devout, although it be but in hypocrisy. And to this he addeth a second precept no less impious, that a Prince should with tooth and nail maintain false myracles and untruths in religion, so long as his people may thereby be kept in greater obedience. Now what fruits we are to expect from the students of this profession, let all men judge. . .

Thank you for the reminder Anon.

Indeed, he has risen! As is customary to say

>>842 Indeed. Every day.

>>841 At the risk of causing another Great Schism, OP is on the Julian calendar.

I wish more men and women would understand this. There is no such thing as “pants for women” just like there is no such thing as “skirts/dresses for men”.

>>830 Put what if women are required to wear pants at their work?

>>838 Would you, as a man, work at a place where you are required to wear skirts or dresses?

>>839 Point taken.

>>825 >>827 Amen. This verily shows how pure the Holy Word of God truly is and how desparate the enemy is to wrest God's Word. I thank the Lord who has graciously preserved his Holy Word for us who speak english for more than 400 years! \o/ !

>>828 Indeed. If the Bible was the only heritage that our ancestors could keep pure and complete without error, then I am sure they would be glad to see it in use today. Here is an interesting bit of history from one of the scholars in the 16th century who worked on the Greek manuscripts behind the received text. >Thus in the year 1536 the Faithful of the Valleys of Piedmont, who were always beseiged and horrified by the Romans, and who had never in successive times declined in their piety, or in their doctrine, sent unto Guillaume Faren at Geneva, who was renowned for his doctrine and piety, two characters, one named Jean Girard, who has since been a printer in said city, and the other, called Martin Gonin, who having been imprisoned on his return to Grenoble, was secretly drowned there on 26 of April, to the chagrin of the Inquisitor, after having so resisted the adversaries of truth that they dared not execute it by day. -Theodore Beza, Histoire ecclesiastique des Eglises reformes au Royaume de France (tl. into English), Vol. 1, pp. 38-39. >Now, to return to our history, after the above-mentioned heard the grace that God did in some cities of Germany and Switzerland, they sent there for their part Georges Morel de Freissiniere of Dauphine, a minister whom they themselves had supported at the schools, and one Pierre Masson de Bourgongne, who conferred diligently of all the points of doctrine, both in Basel with John Œcolampade, in Strasbourg with Capito and Martin Bucer, and in Bern with Berthold Haller, prime minister of that Church... and since the year 1535 they have printed at their expense, at Neuchatel in Switzerland, the first printed French Bible of our time, translated from the Hebrew by Pierre Robert Olivétan, with the help of Jean Calvin... -ibid. page 53. This was written in 1580 by the way. Somehow you are not likely to find it in your modern textbooks. I wonder why. Also interesting is that an English translation, the Geneva Bible of 1560 was also made here from these manuscripts. This version was printed in England itself in 1575 and Scotland in 1579. Previous English Bibles has partially relied on translating from Latin or German Bibles as an intermediate for part of the Old Testament, due to Tyndale (the Hebrew scholar) being martyred in 1536 (he finished translating Genesis to 2 Chronicles + Jonah, in addition to the whole New Testament). The 1560 English Bible is very similar to, uses the same sources as and has influenced the Authorized version of 1611. Tyndale's work additionally became the base for another very similar version called the 1568 Bishops' Bible, the second complete translation to use only original language sources. These two competing versions were used by the households and the church of England respectively, receiving updates until 1592 (Bishops') and 1599 (Geneva). In 1604, James VI & I authorized a commission to make a translation that each faction could agree on, and it took influence in its word choice from both of these versions. As a result, the 1611 translation is very similar to both the 1592 and 1599 Bibles, which mainly differed in certain word choices (such as 'presbytery' over 'eldership', or 'church' instead of 'assembly'). The textual variants between these three (1592, 1599, 1611) are very few. After 1611, it is possible to trace the line of editions to the 1900 format, which is for every practical purpose the same translation made readable by formatting, orthography and spelling improvements. If you read the words aloud it would sound the same. Much of this later work was made possible by the early Dictionaries, especially Samuel Johnson's dictionary of 1755, a very comprehensive Dictionary which also used the only Bible in use then, which is the 1611 KJV, as its authority for definitions of words and their proper usage. So we see that the language itself has been influenced by the translation, and for this reason it would be backwards to say that the 1611 translation is incorrect in a word choice. It would only signify that you do not understand how the word is properly used in English, and/or that you are trying to change the meaning of language for some unusual purpose.

>>829 Very interesting read, anon. Thank you for the insight on the history of the Kjv! People love to claim that the kjv is too hard to read or that it is written in old english. But that is not the case at all. The kjv is written in correct english and the reason many love to attack it in such manner is because our generation has been dumbed down by the god of this world to the point where they no longer are able to comprehend correct english. Furthermore, english is not my first language and I understand the kjv perfectly. And you are without excuse, o reader, if you have english as your mother tongue but yet still claim that the kjv is too hard to understand. You have some work to do, friend. That last part wasn’t directed to you, anon, but to those who know that their hearts have been pricked.

>>835 This tbh

Absolutely not. Taking drugs and vaccines are works of the flesh. There is only one way ordained by God for his children to be healed: >Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. And so, christians do not seek after the physicians of egypt to be healed. >And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.

>>803 Judging by the pic related, Martin Luther was not a christian albeit he and many other men were used by God to bring people out of popish bondage.

>>803 Ah, the wonders of out of context quotes.

>>804 >>805 Selective quotation aside, Luther was known for having a... colorful style of writing.
