I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.
(Isa 42:8 ASV)

This is an interesting passage. If taken by itself without any reference to the new testament it would be fairly consistent with a whole host of...
In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the...
The 7 books in question along with Esther and Daniel (as in the LXX) are canonical and the word deuterocanon is a late introduction for the sake of conversation with those who rejected the 7 books and parts of Esther and Daniel.
Deuterocanonical is a term coined in 1566 by the theologian Sixtus...
Those are offensive in different ways 😉
Niger is offensive when pronounced in a way that will offend.
America is offensive when used incorrectly, to designate one nation in America (the USA is normally the one) rather than using the full name United States [of America] for example or an...
Thank you to @Josiah for the theological briefing.
If I pick the KJV as source bible translation (as a kind of agreed bible used in Protestant circles) and use a concordance I get these scriptures (an exhaustive list for 'justify').
Justify found in KJV: Exodus 23:7, Deuteronomy 25:1, Job...

One recurring theme in anti-deuterocanon apologetics is how sermons, surviving ancient bibles, and church liturgical readings are skipped over or completely ignored when enquiring into what the early churches used as holy and inspired scripture. It is a serious flaw in the anti-deuterocanon...
The quotes come from the commentary on Revelation chapter 14 in each e-sword commentary module source. That is where they come from. That is where I found them and from where I quoted.
Both sources quoted are available in e-sword as commentary modules. They are not available to me as books. I named both modules. "Haydock's notes [on the bible]" and "Albert Barnes' notes on the bible". The quotes come from the commentary on Revelation chapter 14 in each source.
I agree - to...
Both are available in e-sword as commentary modules so they have no pages. But sine they are both commenting on Revelation 14 finding the exact location for the quoted material is as easy as can be, just go to the place where Revelation 14 is commented upon.
Does this mean that any human being who shares God's purpose to "round up the sheep" is one with God and therefore would be thought to be a blasphemer by "the Jews"?
A good comprehensive concordance will be useful for this thread.
What does the new testament have to say about Justification. And what does the LXX say about it? The LXX will help us to grasp which words in Hebrew were translated by the Greek words that we get Justification from.
