The NKJV says:

“Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and
all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the
word
, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the
Lord is gracious.” ‭‭I Peter‬ ‭2:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Vs the NET:

“So get rid of all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all
slander. And yearn like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, so
that by it you may grow up to salvation, if you have experienced the
Lord’s kindness.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:1-3‬ ‭NET‬‬

Q: Isn’t the translation from the NKJV more accurate than the NET?

NOTE: Spiritual milk seems distinctly ambiguous compared to the “milk of the Word”.

    RT John Mushenhouse What is really alarming, and a sign of the times is that many church folks, void of any real understanding of the bible, are using AI to explain what they think are difficult biblical passages. This is GOOD and it is the problem of Philip Williams who uses external resources to prove biblical truths

    you cannot be a real Christian reading the BIBLE and arrive at dualism – its just NOT how the BIBLE describes GOD From GEN 1 the SPIRIT is a person who moves and embraces

    2. NOAH you cannot prove NOAH without the BIBLE or using gilgamesh or whatever non Biblical sorcery you may

    3. popish-ism is NOT Christianity First Trinity and Pope align Dualism and pope do not – its some sort of cherry picking frontology ol Phil is practicing BUT NOT BIBLE

      Troy Day you can indeed use the Bible to locate the remains of the Ark! Or, you can hide your light under a bushel of nonsense.

        Philip Williams Mount Ararat itself remains the traditional biblical location, but no confirmed Ark structure has been found on the mountain.
        The modern scientific focus has shifted to the Durupınar site, which is near Ararat but not on the mountain itself.

        Troy Day well, I have been to that Durupinar mudhole several times because it’s very near our museum. It can’t be the Ark site because the surrounding mountain tops are far higher. Also, because created from the 1948 earthquake. Similar formations are along that road.

        I have also been inside the Ark that rests near the top of Mount Ararat that is now being investigated by Ankara University, the top scientific university in Turkey. A paleontologist from there has tested particles from the wood dating from 7600 bp coming from the feces of an ancient bovine.

        Troy Day I have bern several times to this Agri conference. And I personally know the professors and organizers including the renown Oktay Belli, who visited me in NC.

        John Mushenhouse well Philip Williams may believe that HE thinks HS is NOT a person therefore cannot program anything apart from being a subject This contradicts his popish trinitarianism AND denies his pentecostal grandma
