    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Not sure what you are trying to say here. Your words are not clear. Are you saying that the Sodomites wanted to: (a) Gain actual knowledge from the angels? or (b) To have intimate sexual relations with them by some kind of forced homosexual means? or (c) Sell them ice cream? or (d) Talk...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    On a foggy night, if I warned a person (perhaps even argued with them) to not drive over the bridge that was greatly damaged beneath (that they could not see) I would be striving to protect their souls in love. The Bible talks about how we are to hate every false way. Granted, that does not...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Well, first I talked about the criticism of the wrong belief in general terms and then I switched to talking directly to you of your erroneous detective methods involving on how to recognize a cult. It's like you are trying to see a cult under every rock and tree (when there is none). For...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    I am not impressed by your list (of which I believe was formed from carnal worldly thinking). Take for example: Halloween. You don't think that's a problem. Halloween is a pagan holiday that promotes the sin of witchcraft, murderers, mindless death, demons, etc.; I think Christians do not like...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    While you say you are not sure, it sounds like you lean more towards a local flood. I did not say you denied there was a flood. The issue I had concerning your belief was not whether a flood happened according to Genesis, but the issue was whether the flood was local or global. Seeing most...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Nope. I initially chose the King James Bible because I noticed a corruption for the worse and not for the better with Modern English Translations. It's not that I don't use Modern bibles. I do. But they are not my final Word of authority. Since my many years as a believer, I have found more...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    See post #254, post #255, and post #256 as a warm up. I actually have 101 reasons why the King James Bible is the Word of God, but I have not made a complete professional write up with verses on all my reasons yet.

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    But again, criticism of false beliefs is not a unique identifier exclusive to a cult. You yourself have stated I am not a cult and that I am not using cultic tactics. In other words, your experience would be false if criticism of false beliefs is the basis of your reasoning because Jesus and...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    According to the Wikipedia article source you did not read, it says: These accounts depict a flood, sometimes global in scale, usually sent by a deity or deities to destroy civilization as an act of divine retribution. In other words, they loosely relate to the actual true story of the global...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Nope. There was flood legends in South America. Flood Legends from the Americas, Part 3: Mexico to South America And there were flood legends in North America. Take your pick. Source: List of flood myths - Wikipedia I actually was not going to ask that. I am not generally focused on...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    From WayofLife Literature, by David Cloud. This guy is a reading machine. He has read tons of books on both sides of the debate over many years. He even was once an Anti-KJB Only Christian and even seen them in a bad light. Here is the full story on David Cloud's research that shows that...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Do believe the flood was global or local? I would say it was immediate. It was immediately before the popularity or rise of the NIV soared among the public. But in either case, it does not change the reality of the history on the point I made. Liberal groups generally accepted new versions...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    What do you think the inhabitants of Sodom wanted to do with the two angels? Talk about the latest sports events? Come on now. Also, there are Christian churches that are into sodomy. There is a Queen James Bible in existence. It's even got a rainbow cross on the cover. Anyways, are you...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Do you believe in a local flood? Do you believe that the 1,000 year reign of Christ is not a literal 1,000 years? Before the NIV popularized the Modern English Bible Translation movement to the masses, I am saying that liberals groups before that are groups that held to liberal beliefs like...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Well, I don't worship the KJB because I don't regard the Bible as the entirety of GOD. But I believe GOD is a spirit being who is to be worshiped. Neither do I bow down to the Bible as a magical totem like a Catholic would do when bowing down to a statue to contact their gods (of which they...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    Christian liberal groups (not liberal groups in general like say liberal politicians) are Christians who took a liberal approach to the Bible. Many of them regarded things in the Bible as myths and or legends or they rejected important core doctrines of the faith. They took an unnecessary...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    I never really changed my view on this in the past 10 years. Yes, I am not against using Modern Translations when I feel that they align with what the KJB says. Not a chance. My use of Modern Translations does not equate with them being my final Word of authority. Bible translations can...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    German theologian William Wrede wrote that "Like every other real science, New Testament Theology has its goal simply in itself, and is totally indifferent to all dogma and Systematic Theology". Theologian Hermann Gunkel affirmed that "the spirit of historical investigation has now taken the...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    There is a difference between Liberalism in general vs. Liberalism in Christianity. According to Wikipedia: Liberal Protestantism developed in the 19th century out of a need to adapt Christianity to a modern intellectual context. With the acceptance of Charles Darwin's theory of natural...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    #1. Do you accept the historical claim that only liberal groups rejected the Bible before the NIV popularized the Modern Translation movement? #2. Do you believe sin is an illusion? #3. You expressed that many denominations are basically all in the same boat. Is KJB Only one of them? #4. Do...
