... we don`t have KJVs here, just poorly done translations where Jesus is called "the Servant of God", rather than the Son of God, where there is no 1. John 5:7 which clearly says Jesus is God etc etc...
​
How do you determine which translations are "poorly done"? It sounds like you're choosing the KJV as "correct" because it tells you what you want to hear - e.g. that "Jesus is God". How do you know that the other translations aren't more accurate?

That`s the Holy Spirit issue, which can`t be debated with the unbeliever..not that I`m accusing you.
​
Okay, let's assume that I am a believer. Let's assume that I believe exactly the same as you do.
​
The only difference is that I don't understand how to determine which translations are "poorly done".
What do you tell a new believer about how to tell which translations are most accurate?

It doesn't really matter what God's view of time is. The Bible was written for humans, so only a human view of time makes sense.

God does view time differntly than humans....
​
If you're suggesting that God can't view time the way humans do, you're suggesting a very limited God.
​
My point was that if the Bible is a communication from God to mankind, then the view of time in the Bible would have to be a human view.
​
There is a great difference between prophetic time and regular time....
​
Terms like "prophetic time" are usually made up to make it look like prophecies have been fulfilled when they really haven't.
​
But prophecy is another topic.

We have some threads on prophecy and somebody (probably not me) will be glad to eat you alive point out how you are mistaken.
