Who Were the Goths and Why Is the Gothic Version of Interest to Textual Scholars and Bible Translators?

The Goths were a group of loosely allied Germanic tribes, most likely beginning in Scandinavia. In the first few centuries after Jesus Christ's life and death, they migrated as far south as the Black Sea and the Danube River, to the very outposts of the Roman Empire. The Gothic Bible was the first literary work in any Germanic tongue. Ulfilas (c. 311–383 C.E.) - Bruce Metzger

RATIONALISM: The Inborn (Natural) Ability of Human Reason to Know Truth?

"Rationalism can be most easily understood by contrast with empiricism. The former stresses the mind in the knowing process and the latter lays emphasis on the senses. In the ancient world these emphases were found respectively in Plato and Aristotle." - Norman L. Geisler. Christian Apologetics (p. 29).

Update - looks like some friends helped me out and got me "unblocked" as I'm now back on mewe! lol

Looks like mewe is down - tried to access my account and it says it is blocked. Tried to go to main page, other pages, says thread is closed or doesn't exist.......

I don't think I had ever thought that it would be relevant in my lifetime, but it is possible that Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment may be very germane soon:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

DOES GOD PUNISH PEOPLE IN HELLFIRE? WHAT DOES THE BIBLE REALLY SAY?

Genesis 2:17 Bible Translation - Updated American Standard Version
17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.”

What is the punishment for sin here? What is the punishment for rebellion here? Was there some footnote that added eternal torment?

Why would God hold back eternal torment from Adam? Was it just/right to not inform Adam of eternal torment? Was the serpent [Satan] right, saying God was withholding knowledge from Adam and Eve? Or, maybe ... it was exactly as God said. “you eat from it you shall surely die.”

Ezekiel 18:4 Bible Translation - Updated American Standard Version
4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.

Romans 6:23 Bible Translation - Updated American Standard Version
23 For the wages of sin is death

BEWARE OF THE RUTHLESS AND THEIR WICKEDNESS

Proverbs 6:12-15 Updated American Standard Version (UASV) 12 A worthless man, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech, 13 winks with his eyes, scrapes with his feet, points with his finger, 14 with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord; 15 therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
