The World's Most Butchered Scriptures?

THAT is what Paul was talking about.

1Co 15:30-32 KJV And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? (31) I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. (32) If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.


Note verse 30 and 32 surround verse 31.

Hmmm, I need to go read that chapter.

Interesting.

If Adam and Eve ate an apple when they ate the forbidden fruit, and it caused them to cover their nakedness, we need to give apples out in church everytime we have service. lol

That the "Day of the Lord" will come prior to the "Man of Sin" being revealed.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

[Thad]

Paul was actually using the SAME LANGUAGE he used in 2 Cor 4 when describing the perils of being cast down and so on...

2Co 4:7-12 KJV But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (8) We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; (9) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; (10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. (12) So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

I have an entire study on the issue here: HERE

It's not in there.

Depends on the translation: NLT Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.”

kea said that Adam and Eve didn't eat an apple, so I was trying to see whether or not kea knew for certain that they didn't eat an apple at any point in thier lives, smartie pants! You see, his/her statement was actually ambiguios if you think about it.

The KJV is the only true bible.
