Corn, in botany. The name corn is given to the leading cereal crop of any major region. In England corn means wheat; in Scotland and Ireland, oats. The grain called corn in the United States is Indian corn or maize (Zea mays). The part of the United States where most of the corn is grown, including Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska, is known as the Corn Belt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition Copyright © 2003, Columbia University Press.

Yes I do ebia. The 39 articles contain valuable truths both for the time they were written and for eternity. They reveal many of the false interpretations of the RC Church [and others] at the time they were written. Unfortunately, many still remain to be corrected. Many people would agree that the church has got itself into a fine mess but the written fundamentals have never been repealed. Anybody interested to know what the articles say can find them at http://anglicansonline.org/basics/thirty-nine_articles.html

Hmmm... that's really interesting. I was under the impression that God reveals his truth to us through his Word and that the Holy Spirit guides us to understand God's word. But you're saying that the Holy Spirit revealed God's truth to you OUTSIDE his Word thereby leading you to repent of your sins.
Are there other truths that we need to be made aware of outside of God's word that was left for us? That would seem to make his word incomplete.
God Bless,
-Samson
Well Samson, look at it this way, when a person is first drawn to God, he knows little or nothing of scripture. God does indeed speak to us through his word but until the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts, it is a closed book. When the Comforter comes, he opens the book to his teachings and the words of scripture seem to leap off the page at him. It is a wonderful feeling and it creates a hunger and longing for God's word. Of course God can speak to us in other ways too but not all Christians accept this. The thing to remember is that when he does, he never contradicts his written word. God bless.

Tell me michael_legna, are you a Roman Catholic ?
Yes. May I ask you what your denomination is? I have thought so for a while now but I don't hold it against you. It explains your aversion to the AV. It's that "awful" Epistle Dedicatory in the front. I am sure that if that had not been included, the RC Church would have taken the AV as its own. As it was, they were forced to reject it. It also explains your attitude to scripture interpretation. I have seen really clever men deterred for interpreting the word because they have been taught by their church that only the priest can interpret the word. I used to listen to "Eternal Word Television Network" [EWTN] radio and some of the scripture interpretations on there [to justify their dogma], defied belief. Extract from the Epistle Dedicatory : "that since things of this quality have ever been subject to the censures of illmeaning and discontented persons, it may receive approbation and patronage from so learned and judicious a Prince as Your Highness is, whose allowance and acceptance of our labours shall more honour and encourage us, than all the calumniations and hard interpretations of other men shall dismay us. So that if, on the one side, we shall be traduced by Popish Persons at home or abroad, who therefore will malign us, because we are poor instruments to make God's holy Truth to be yet more and more known unto the people, whom they desire still to keep in ignorance and darkness; or if, on the other side, we shall be maligned by self-conceited Brethren, who run their own ways, and give liking unto nothing, but what is framed by themselves, and hammered on their anvil" Popish persons could hardly embrace that. I was baptized into The Church of England but foremost, I am a Christian.

Feel free michael_legna Septuagint [Lat.,=70], oldest extant Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible made by Hellenistic Jews, possibly from Alexandria, c.250 B.C. Legend, according to the fictional letter of Aristeas, records that it was done in 72 days by 72 translators for Ptolemy Philadelphus, which accounts for the name. The Greek form was later improved and altered to include the books of the Apocrypha and some of the pseudepigrapha. It was the version used by Hellenistic Jews and the Greek-speaking Christians, including St. Paul; it is still used in the Greek Church. The Septuagint is of importance to critics because it is translated from texts now lost. No copy of the original translation exists; textual difficulties abound. The symbol for the Septuagint is LXX.

well michael_legna our church says this about the apocrypha " And the other books (as Hierome saith) the Church doth read for example of life and instruction of manners; but yet doth it not apply them to establish any doctrine." [Article vi of the 39 articles of faith].
