Re: Christianity/Bible ask me anything
Credentials: I have preached, and I have served Christ for my entire adult life. I have the spiritual gift of prophecy.

While my knowledge of Bible scripture is far less than it used to be, I will do my best to answer any questions about the faith. I have researched the Bible and studied eschatology thoroughly.

I've discovered my Christian perspective is quite different from most modern Christianity. You may not agree with my answers, but I will give you my best opinion based upon what I know and have read.

If a discussion turns into an endless grasping at straws to annoy me, I will end it. I will also moderate this too while I have time. So, if you post a bunch of hateful garbage, don't whine when I continue to delete it.

No scriptural or Bible question is off-limits.

 Quoting: Psychedelic Mashed Potatoes


Ok I have some questions.

Have you read the Bible cover to cover? If so, which version(s)?

And…

Genesis 19:3 - Lot is protecting the two angels that came to stay with him from “all the young and old male citizens of Sodom,” who wanted to have sex with them. Lot protects the angels but offers his virgin daughters to be taken for sex instead.


Also, Genesis 19:38 says Lot had sex with his daughters.


I’m not trying to be crude but…WTF?????? How is this allowed??

Re: Christianity/Bible ask me anything
What are your opinions of the books of Enoch, Jubilees, and Jasher? I personally value 1st Enoch & Jubilees, but I'm a little wary of Jasher. Lots of added stuff.
 Quoting: Christ is Lord 83609053

Book of Jasher in mentioned in the modern Old Testament.

"Jasher" occurs 2 times in 2 verses in the KJV.

[link to www.blueletterbible.org (secure)]

Joshua 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

2 Samuel 1:18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

.....

The books in our modern Bibles were chosen by bishops at the Council of Rome in 382. All they did was choose the most popular books that seemed to be 'inspirired'.

Jasher was considered scripture in ancient times.

It's in the Catholic and King James 'Apocrypha'.
 Quoting: Servant-of-the-LORD


I've listened to audiobooks of Jasher and found it very interesting, but what I'm unsure of is if what's widely available as the "book of Jasher" today is even the same work as the book referenced in scripture.

What we see today online appears to be an 1149 writing from a talmudist named "Rabbeinu Tam" called "Sefer haYashar". It's possible he translated it from an earlier text, but I'm very hesitant to call it inspired at this point.

It's not listed in the 1611 KJV either: [link to www.kingjamesbibleonline.org (secure)]
 Quoting: Christ is Lord 83609053

Odd - I can't seem to find a webside that compares the Apocrypha of the Vulgate to the 1611.

Here's a decent article about Jasher.

[link to www.johnpratt.com (secure)]
 Quoting: Servant-of-the-LORD


Thanks. It's at least an old Hebrew midrash. I was mistaken about it being written in 1149; same name but totally different/unrelated book.

Lot was not a hero. His daughters actually seduced him. My theory is that they came from such a sexually immoral and depraved society that it didn't seem that weird for them to incapacitate their father and essentially rape him.

Re: Christianity/Bible ask me anything
I feel sorry for people who spend their days on GLP
 Quoting: Psychedelic Mashed Potatoes



Do you also feel sorry for those you tragically misled with your destructive heresies?

Do you feel Godly sorrow for those whose faith is shipwrecked and possibly wind up in a devil's hell due to the undermining of their faith by your promulgation of anti-christ modal heresies?

I bet you don't ... but, prove me wrong.
You've still got a chance while your meatsack is still kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown.

Let's see how fast this guy will delete this post.

Fortunately, God sees all.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22255432


Listen dude (or whatever pronoun you use), I'm slow sometimes, but I eventually catch on. You're not a Christian. I see that now. You're just here to troll. So, yes, I will continue to delete your posts.

I would ask or tell you to leave, but I know you won't. You'll just keep coming back here in an effort to undermine me in any way possible. There's quite a few of you on this site.

You know what the difference is between me and you? I can admit when I'm wrong or may be wrong. Example: I cannot guarantee modalism, but, scripturally, it's the most verifiable nature of God. I'm not going to die on that hill though. I don't believe in pre-Tribulation rapture, but is it worth fighting about?

If you really are a Christian, think about it. What good comes from being in constant conflict with a brother and being unable to walk away to preserve love - over beliefs that cannot be confirmed or denied? It's not Christ-like, I know that for a fact.

As long as the "unthinkable" is what Christ commanded you to do, I agree.

The unthinkable, per Christ, usually involves loving your enemy and blessing him.

Nice thread OP, and good job with the questions! Keep up the good work!

My only question is after reading the KJV majority text, why did you move onto the bogus westcott and Hort bible versions (NIV, NASB, ESV) which uses the Vaticanus translation and comes from occultists Westcott and Hort? There are serious problems with those duds.

 Quoting: Psychedelic Mashed Potatoes

What do you mean by 'allowed'?

The daughters' actions 'prove' the point of how bad Sodom and the other cities were.

Lot's wife defied the angels - she paid the price.

I think the only reason Lot and his family were saved was as a 'favor' to Abraham - nothing more.

Lot certainly never showed any respect towards God - even offered his daughters to the crazed croud outside his door.

Who does BS like that?

Thank you!

In my years as a Christian, I've realized there is no perfect translation of the Bible. And language evolves. They're essentially 98-99% the same thing. That 1-2% difference doesn't change the meaning of the commands of Christ - which is the quintessential important part of the Bible.

Thank you for your response. We just have to realize those new versions have the handprint of the alexandrian pagans like Origen and Plato, as well as the roman catholic church on them. The NIV was endorsed by crypto satanist Billy Graham and the roman catholic church, as the manuscripts they used come from their pagan forefathers, hence the Vaticanus translation and Alexandrian, used in the NIV, NASB, etc. The king james on the other hand comes from the majority text, over 5000 plus manuscripts compared and matched from all over the earth, Gods preserved Word. Indeed there have been translation errors with the KJV as well, but the westcott and hort is plain brutal. I can count on my KJV.

I dont want to flood your excellent thread with verse comparisons, so i will just give you a few:

Ephesians 3:9

King James Version

9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Ephesians 3:9

New International Version

9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. OMIT BY JESUS CHRIST

The NIV is embracing evolution with their word choices, "ages past" rather than beginning of the world. Did God create all things BY JESUS CHRIST, yes indeed, if i was reading the NIV i wouldnt know that.

There are hundreds of examples in Gail Riplingers book where they intentionally deny the divinity of Christ.

Also, for understanding prophecy, the NIV and new age perversions hide many truths. Notice in Rev 17 "the 7 heads are the 7 mountains on which the woman sits" then after it mentions 7 kings, whereas the NIV says the 7 heads ARE ALSO 7 KINGS. Now not only do i have to look for the 7 mountain city, i also need to look for 7 king city. Guess what, Rome is the 7 mountain/hill city, they intentionally blurred the truth to hide the roman harlot:

Revelation 17:9-10

King James Version

9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

Revelation 17:9-10

New International Version

9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while.

The modern books of Jasher, Enoch, Jubilees, etc are gnostic catholic works as well and cant be relied upon. When King James was asked why he never included those books in his cannon, he said "I am not a papist". Just because a modern publisher includes additional books in their publications does not mean King James originally did in his own.

It's not going to be an accident. You're going to have to worship something that is not God and be compliant with something that is characteristically evil.

It's almost certain that you will have to openly denounce the Lord Jesus Christ to be part of it.

Islam = anti-Christ
Communism = anti-Christ
Hinduism = anti-Christ
Israel = anti-Christ
Globalism = anti-Christ

That's most of the world presently.
