Meekness. WHAT IS A SOUND MIND?
Christians should be meek, not weak. Do you need to have a sound mind to get saved?

I looked very closely at the Cambridge Paragraph Bible that Norton put out a few years ago and very quickly removed myself from it.
Discernment is a gift of God, which apart from his empowerment, we would not know these things.
re:New Cambridge Paragraph Bible . will there be a video done on this? (unless it has) . i just think the lvl of sneak is worth covering.
That's a good idea. I have a few people looking through it for errors. After I get their feedback, I'll try to put something together.
Meekness = Real Spiritual Strength
You and John have taught me this well but . . . You cant "improve" on the Word. The Word is perfect. The Word is Jesus Christ. The Word does not change. John talks about the Word being the bones of Christ . . cannot be broken. That is why the 1611 KJV method of translation is unassailable. The painstaking translation process . . through committee after committee . . reminds me of the seriousness by which the early Hebrew Priests entered the holy of holies. The seriousness by which they copied the Torah/Pentateuch. Not one jot or title changed. Today's translations are a literary "pigsty" by comparison. Yes . . you can emerge from them (prodigal son), but it takes the leading of the Holy Spirit. It also reminds me of the way God set up the Hebrew justice system through Moses. 10 families select one member to act as a judge . . then ten of those families select 1 individual to represent them among 10 hundreds . . . . all the way up. Very deliberate with a broad foundation. A (nearly) perfect system for establishing the Truth/Justice.
Another great study/job. You covered one of my most important questions for Jesus . . . what about those who seemingly can't understand or never get the chance to understand Him. But . . then I realize . . .Jesus tells us everything about his kingdom in his Word. My strong belief on this subject is that God operates on the following basis . . . starting with Luke 12:48 . . . "But hee that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall bee beaten with few stripes. For vnto whomsoeuer much is giuen, of him shal bee much required: and to whom men haue committed much, of him they will aske the more." So we learn that judgment is a sliding scale based on knowledge. And we also have Paul who tells us . . . Romans 2:12-16;29 . . "For as many as haue sinned without Law, shall also perish without Law: and as many as haue sinned in the Law, shalbe iudged by the Law. 13(For not the hearers of the Law are iust before God, but the doers of the Law shalbe iustified; 14For when the Gentiles which haue not the Law, doe by nature the things contained in the Law: these hauing not the Law, are a Law vnto themselues, 15Which shew the worke of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witnesse, and their thoughts the meane while accusing, or else excusing one another: 16In the day when God shall iudge the secrets of men by Iesus Christ, according to my Gospel. . . . .29But he is a Iew which is one inwardly, and Circumcision is, that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God". God judges the heart . . not the brain. The Pharisees memorized scripture and got it ALL wrong. Aborted children are given nothing . . . and nothing will be expected of them. Their hearts are the most pure because of their sheer helplessness. When the incapacitated do by nature those things that are the Law . . they become a law unto themselves. We ALL have a connection to God through our conscience. God certainly knows our situation and knows how our heart responds . . no matter our affliction.
And, that means we can rely upon the perfect justice of God. All are judged with perfect righteousness.
Jonah 4:11 [11]And should not I spare Nineueh that great citie, wherein are more then sixscore thousand persons, that cannot discerne betweene their right hand and their left hand, and also much cattell? thinking about this one
NASB is very much an "ecumenical Bible," acceptable to the Catholic Church, but not fully endorsed.
also, recently, Studylight website keeps defaulting to NASB, even though account settings are put otherwise. just letting you guys know.
i've had a new cambridge paragraph bible. i thought it would help me read better because bibles was confusing back then. however i never went back to it, i left it. that's all i have to say on the matter, which is neutral. but i dont feel compelled to go back to it. i dont currently have one, so i can't check it right now. burned a lot of books!
The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible contradicts the 1611 AKJB in a number of places.
i always enjoy these so much. thankyou!
I have tried to model them after the early church, where people shared their ideas with someone guiding the gathering; though sometimes there was preaching. It wasn't like today's institutional churches where one guy at the front tells every one how it is. And, there is no real interaction with the congregation.
