Oh, and I'm sorry superjag, because I know you did reference some of these verses already. They were just hard for me to read. I wanted the readers to know that the NKJV was a very good translation too if they weren't comfortable with the KJV. I was only comparing the NIV to the KJV and NKJV. My...

I wanted to get back to you on the NIV translation of the Bible. My former Sunday School teacher gave us some scriptures to look at and compare. He called it the "Not Inspired Version" as a joke! Anyway, you can go to www.chick.com to see errors, omissions,etc. or to www.avpublications.com. Some...

Hey, Wakka, please don't misquote me. I didn't say anything was wrong with getting dressed up. All I said was the no make-up and wearing dresses all the time wasn't a neccesity to prove you're a Christian. You shouldn't use that as a crutch. Now, how in the world did you get out of that...

Okay, Lunar. I think you know what I meant. No matter which of these the Democratic party elects to represent them, I wouldn't be able to choose him/her. Maybe I left out the detail that I don't like McCain either. OOOOPPPS! So, my bad.

I think my eyes are too old to read all of that color! I have a very difficult time reading your posts, superjag, but I'm trying. I think you have a lot to offer in the way of information. I read so quickly because I have to go, but will come back to this later. Did anyone mention that the NIV...

What bothers me more than that is what I see on the nonbelievers forum. Ex. By those who don't even profess to believe in Christianity or God, I sometimes see, aspiring or experienced. I guess it would be too difficult to change, but it really shouldn't be labeled this way. I wonder if it would...

I have known some Pentecostals that are offensive and some that are not. Some tend to set themselves apart due to the no make-up and wearing dresses all of the time. I don't think we should be known like that as a Christian. I think it should come out in how we act, treat others, etc. That being...

Hi, Garbage Man. All of this is hard to understand with a "natural, human" mind.(1 Corinthians 1:18-31) To sit and think about it, it is hard to imagine why all of this had to be like that. Why did God ever need or want an earth? Why did He create Adam, Eve, and the animals if all He was going...

I know that when I got older, around 18 or 19, I had a yearning to know why there were so many denominations and why my church seemed so complacent about the Lord. It greatly disturbed me that people didn't seem to have a passion for Christ. I was raised Southern Baptist. I began visiting...

I have to agree with Denver here. Of course, it does make a difference about who your influences are too.My parents were/are middle-class Americans who have always worked hard for what they have. I think if you are a middle-class, working American, it tends to hit you hard when they raise...

Amen, Mikey!!!!!!!!!

I really like that. Yes, without hope, where would we be?

Well, I was concerned about Romney too. I had not heard he was out of the race yet, but I can't say that I'm surprised. It's going to be interesing to see what will happen. So, do you have a candidate of choice or are you trying to figure it out as we go along? I'm not asking you to post it or...

Well, I have a question for you? Since you are Christ's Hands and feet on earth, what would He do? It's very true that we are to remain unstained by the world. We are not to fellowship with darkness. Bad company corrupts good morals. Of all of those scriptures I am well aware. I loathe the sin...

A whole-hearted Amen!!!! We do not back down from truth, but we do not back away from loving either. It may be a hard thing to blend, but we need to learn to do it if we intend to be effective for Jesus!!!!! I really liked what you said. Anyone can "tell it like it is". What kind of self-control...

It is neat! You're pretty funny too!:angel1:

Very great advice, Tim. Good morning, Morning Joy! I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you this morning and that I am writing your name where I can see it for my quiet times in the morning. I will be praying for you. I will pray for the Lord to make Himself known to you in a very real...

Well, I won't vote for her either. So, I guess you know which side of the fence I'm on. I may be considered as one who is throwing her vote away, but that's okay. I will vote according to my convictions.

Yeah, would people today have laughed at a Jewish carpenter who was not trained as a Rabbi, yet could teach the spiritual leaders of His day in the temple? Would people today ask for the credentials of Peter, James, and John or any of the disciples-most who were just common fishermen? Jesus...

That's exactly right, Dr.BL. Psalm 22 foretells that. I believe you, Leviathan. The Lord is so great that He doesn't owe us any sign, but if He chooses to leave one all I can say is,"Wow" backward and forward!!!!
