Or option C? C. Someone questions to become a Christian but reads an uninspired translation and can't feel the weight and wisdom of the words, and turns away Isn't that more likely than someone being scared off by formal English?

It's already in English. Is it "translating" if you're reading a newspaper and find a word you don't understand? How do you suppose someone passes high school without learning to read at a high school level? Really, after reading a few pieces at the appropriate reading level, you become...

Quick question, which socialist thinker was it that gave the west Drag Queen Story Hour?

If 10 year old me could do it then I'm sure anyone who has English as their first language can manage. What is so difficult about it? Let's take Proverbs 1 for example, what here can't people understand? 1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 2 To know wisdom and...

Friendship is magic Magic is forbidden Therefore friendship is forbidden

Even the ones that advocate the abolition of central legislature?

Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord. -Adolf Hitler We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity. Our movement is Christian. -Adolf Hitler...

How is it easily misunderstood? I was able to read much of it without any serious problems when I was a little boy, and I was able to intuit what a plowshare was too, by thinking about what a plow was. I think KJV's alleged difficulty is quite overstated. Sometimes you find a word that you need...

No, not me. It's just another way of illustrating the idea of being given something (in my example, knowledge of a field) and then using it to gain more of the same, a la the servants being given talents and investing them. Worldly things reflect spiritual things (I would say that the spiritual...

So to take what you are given and increase it, but there is only two things given the context of the Bible that this could refer to: either love, or wisdom. The question being what you would consider the ultimate goal, what you want your spirit to leave this world with, having increased. So...

I understand the parables, but this doesn't tell me anything about why we exist to begin with or what we will become. A man scattered seeds - why? Does God need fruits to sustain His existence (or in other words, does God's consciousness require a continual act of creation)? Does God...

You'll notice that nowhere in the Bible does it say ANYTHING of why God created Man, of what happens after you die (except for parables), or of who you were before you were born, etc. These are all great questions left unanswered. Jesus only directly (without parable) addressed this question...

I pray that God blesses your business venture so that it can provide for you and others

The way something - anything - starts is as an idea; and an idea can be perfect but it is only completed when the idea is brought into reality. The act of bringing something into reality is a process of taking imperfect material and making it into the likeness of the perfect idea. First there...

People still read Shakespeare, don't they?

I had to pick a family member up from their new job at this fancy corporate skyscraper that stretched all the way into the sky. I was supposed to meet them on the 33rd floor but when I got there, I was looking around and couldn't find them. So I called them on my cellphone and they told me that...

Jude 1 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. Don't invoke the Devil just to invoke hatred. It's better to turn your attention to thoughts of love and...

Jesus didn't go back to the way He was beforehand. That would have completely defeated the purpose of all that He did. Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Jesus overcame, and...

Psalm 107 107 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. 4...

I prefer KJV by far because it is the most powerful and poetic.
