Ikan thank you for the translation. And again for your posting the truth.

Mike I agree with you.

First of all I would like to say a special thank you to all of those you have posted on this thread. James has presented some ideas that he believes to be true, which most of us do not agree with according to the Bible and the Spirit Of Prophecy. I must admit he has given us alot to study and I believe you did not fail but proved to be good Bible students, just like the Bereans.

Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Faith and Works
Obedience and Sanctification
Page 86

When errors arise and are taught as Bible truth, those who have a connection with Christ will not trust to what the minister says, but like the noble Bereans, they will search the Scriptures daily to see if these things are so. When they discover what is the word of the Lord, they will take their stand on the side of the truth. They will hear the voice of the True Shepherd saying, "This is the way, walk ye in it." Thus you
will be educated to make the Bible the man of your counsel, and the voice of a stranger you will neither hear nor follow.

I am closing this post as it seems to me and others that all has been said here that can be said, and we just keep going over and over the same thing. James I am praying for you that you will keep studying and be more open to the studies that have been presented to you on this forum.
