Quoting directly from the Bible has never been an issue. However, if you provide interpretations of Biblical passages which are not your own, then you need to say where they came from. It really isn't any more complicated than that.
Delusional nonsense.
Internet skepto mind crap of the first order.
Anyone want to venture to tell me WHO In history first gave an evangelical interpretation to
John 3:16 ?
How many tracts, how many sermons, how many panflets, how many songs have elaborated in the good news of
John 3:16 without footnotes, or end notes, or citation of the original expounder?
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
If you believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God His salvation will save you from perishing apart from God forever. And giving God to you you will receive eternal life.
Who said that ????? Give credit !!
I don't know who gave that interpretation first.
You know something. I know a lot of song writers and composers. But I do not for the life of me know who wrote -
"Go Tell It On the Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell It on the Mountain, That Jesus Christ is born."
Credit? Credit?
Don't know. We just call it "a spiritual".
Sometimes we call it "A Negro spiritual".
Ghost's demand that repeated and/or expanded explanations of Bible passages must by law be accompanied by credit, is bogus stalling, a red herring, and exaggerated pseudo academic babble.
