Gosh I didn't know King James gave his Bibles away, for free. That was commendable of him. BTW, In 1611 England, a farmer could buy a cow for 1 shilling. The KJV cost 10 shillings in loose-leaf.... and 12 Shillings as a bound book. (A small herd of cows for one book.)

Would that be the same thing the Dems just gave to the Republicans? (Sounds fair to me..... same rules, same limitations and same restrictions.)

You might want to be a bit more cautious with that Cherry Picking of verses, People. Although some of what you mentioned is definitely in there, when you read all the way to the end of Chapter 1, it really doesn't peg as the main reason for homosexuality, down through all of history, "not being...

It isn't considered "a corrected KJV?"

???????????????????? Are you just TRYING to be obtuse?

The joke of all this is "omissions" from what? They are supposedly "omissions" from a book a king ordered printed because he wanted his own Bible. Who knows WHAT was added or omitted from something done that way.

The mustard plant only grows to 8 or 10 feet. Their common olive tree often grew to 20 feet. Both were included in what they called "gardens" in Israel. This was only an illustrative analogy.

It is good to see that some people "think", and don't just blindly parrot, "The Bible said it, I believe it, and that settles it." There is an orchid whose seed is only about 1/35,000,000th of an ounce.

Unfortunately, I have read right here, "The afflictions I suffer, prove how righteous I am." I'm serious, some people actually believe that bunk.

You are absolutely right, ViJ.

When our father died, my brother and I both received an inheritance. He got about twice as much as I did. Today, seven years later, he is stone, cold broke again (as he always was [my Dad always supported him... gave him a house, bought him several trucks, and paid most of his bills.]). I, on...

What would happen? Quite frankly, after a few months of the same mismanagement of money most of "The Poor" has always shown, we would ALL be broke for the rest of our lives.

Granted, I'm sure some people didn't teach that.... the Bible doesn't either.... but that doesn't change the fact that you will hear (IF you choose to listen....) literally thousands of people confessing they believe that way. Ruckman, BTW, was known for his position that the King James Version...

Nope, I'm sorry, but most KJV adherents say that they believe that either the KJV is the only word of God, or that God ceased making His word known after publishing that specific book. To them, a "true" Bible (whatever THAT means) has to have the exact words of the KJV... no more, no less, and...

Ask anyone on this forum to give up the expensive electronics that bring them here, and see how well they jump to comply. (And that says nothing of their Air Conditioned homes and cars.... and the hundred other luxuries they own.)

Amen to that! What an insulting slap in the face to countless Christians who lived before 1611, (and to God) to pretend God withheld His word from the world until the publication of that 'so-called' "authorized" book.

You think the Bible is hiding secrets in the simple narrative stories it tells? There may be all sorts of things to learn from the stories in the Bible, but the telling of the story is only that... the telling of the story. The fact that the rich young ruler was told to sell everything he...

Oh wake up, People! I was merely recommending a fantastic book on how to better read the Bible for all its worth.

I am saying that the OP pretty plainly stated this was but a small excerpt of a much larger 300 page book, and that these few paragraphs were pertaining to a small section from the much longer chapter on how to read Biblical NARRATIVES.

Of course there is. You apparently neglected to read all of the OP.
