    The KJV and the modern bible versions

    Because it just IS, that's why! =You sound like Bill Clinton. What is the meaning of "is"? and that is no explanation. 6 incomplete later Greek manuscripts, translated by one humanist named Erasmus, are a better source than thousands of earlier manuscripts =Let me get this straight. You are...

    The KJV and the modern bible versions

    I think we can all learn from what is being done by organizations like the Wycliffe translators. This fine organization, has translated the Bible into many different languages, and they continue to find more languages in which to translate the Bible into.They have translated the Holy Bible into...

    The KJV and the modern bible versions

    The effort to render new, and more accurate translations of the ancient Hebrew and Greek texts, into modern 21st century English is terrific. There is no less willingness to render honest translations. If you know anything about English grammar, there is no gender-neutral pronoun for the third...

    The KJV and the modern bible versions

    I once knew a man in Jackson, Tennessee, who used the KJV only. He told me he was sticking with the KJV, because that was the version that Jesus used. I believe that God worked a miracle, in preserving the Dead Sea Scrolls (the KJV translators had no access to them, they were discovered in...

    What do you think of Billy Graham?

    Billy Graham is a terrific personality. I saw one of his crusades in Paris, France. He is a spellbinder, and his theology is sound. He has brought many people to Christ, who otherwise would never have had the opportunity. Sometimes, God uses celebrity in His work. Good.I am very interested in...

    Can a person commit suicide and go to Heaven?

    Suicide is a great loss to the survivors. I know, I attempted to take my own life ten years ago. If a person dies from a disease, then he/she will go on to the afterlife. If the person has a mental disease, and is unable to cope with life, then that person may be unable to go on with life, and...

    Tithes and Offerings

    Tithing is an Old Testament custom, and is not applicable to any New Testament Christian. Tithing is like circumcision (an abominable practice), and abstaining from pork. The Old Testament law was fulfilled by Jesus (I have come to fulfill the law). The state with the largest number of...

    The KJV and the modern bible versions

    The KJV is 400 (four hundred) years old. It is a pioneering translation, to be sure. It was assembled and translated by a committee (a first for the English language). The source document was the Textus Receptus, which was the first time that the New Testament was published in its entirety in...

    Is drinking (coffee, coke, beer, wine, alcohol) sin?

    There is no statement in the Holy Bible that says "Thou shalt not drink Coca-cola". Nor is there are admonition against consuming alcohol. King David owned vineyards. Jesus' first miracle was changing water into wine. Jesus drank wine his whole life, and drank wine at the last supper.I find...

    Freemasonry - All about the organization

    Every Mason is required to believe in God, prior to petitioning (applying) for membership in the fraternity. If a mason later turns atheist, then he is expelled from the fraternity. This is a policy, similar to the Boy Scouts, which has been taken through the court system.At the opening and...

    Freemasonry - All about the organization

    (Letsgofishing;32256) I personally don't see too much wrong with the masons.***I am glad to see this response. I feel that if most people would give Masonry half a chance, they would see that is totally harmless, and no threat to Christianity, nor any other religion.The only huge problem they...

    Freemasonry - All about the organization

    (Dunamite;32236) I have read reports of people much higher than you who have left the Masons because they discovered that at the highest levels they were sworn to lie to other Masons and to use them to achieve the goals of the inner circle. ***This assertion is bogus. The goals and objectives of...

    Freemasonry - All about the organization

    (crooner;32225) obviously you know little about Masons. Thats ok! I think its the higher ups in the organization that would be privy to such things. I am sure they will not talk about it either. Christians have been curious for years about this subject. I am not so sure its that important. I...

    Freemasonry - All about the organization

    (tim_from_pa;31833) Hi. Yes, I will admit that the practice is presented in as being clouded in mystery and subject to all kinds of speculation. The religious "right" tends to condemn it and call it a cult of some sort.That does not sway my opinion one way or another. I am often labeled the...
