    There is more than one set of apocryphas.

    I think the word is Deuterocanonical.

    KJV versus Modern Translations

    I think the NKJV was a more thoroughgoing revision than the KJ21, the publishers of which speak of an 'update' rather than a revision.

    Ear piercing: for sons as well as for daughters: is it appropriate? (plus poll)

    PS: Nor me, either. Like, if a young man's father already wears earrings - as many do - and his mom thinks they are a good idea for the young man as well - as seems not unusually to happen - then by what stretch of anyone imagination can anyone impose a supposed conservative church narrative of...

    KJV versus Modern Translations

    The KJ21 and NKJV do seem to avoid some of the bobos of many other more modern versions...

    Ear piercing: for sons as well as for daughters: is it appropriate? (plus poll)

    @Laish You said this earlier re. ink: So they didn't put in an earring at the same time? LOL (Seems that often in fact the earrings do precede the tattoos, in the order that they are acquired...)

    Famous quote from Habakkuk

    Scripture is so rich; and when one speaks of the Minor Prophets, this is minor in length, not minor in importance! :)

    The Elect?

    The offer of the Gospel to all - which I firmly believe in - is distinct from the effectual securing of the redemption of His people (Hebrews 1: 'He by Himself purged our sins').

    The Elect?

    Only those who are truly born again can definitely apply the promises to themselves by faith.

    Poll - Tattooing: from male military and biker ethos...to viable witness means for both genders?

    These days it indeed often increasingly will likely involve a sister: apparently in North America 59% - 70% or more of parlor clients are female; and not an insignificant proportion are in faith based / family / patriotic themes - which often dove tail together (although this certainly does not...

    It was a problem with the Galatians also, seemingly.

    Famous quote from Habakkuk

    Who else has read Habakkuk lately? :)

    KJV versus Modern Translations

    It's probably a case of both meanings and spellings; but if the basic spellings are standardized - as they were - then the meanings should probably not be too difficult - in my humble view - in what is basically a very reliable and time honored version.

    Famous quote from Habakkuk

    Great; I'll look forward to the pm some time. Hoping the new job goes well; blessings.

    Thanks anyway for the link.

    Famous quote from Habakkuk

    Thanks. I think for both Paul in Galatians 4.19 and in John's First Epistle, the term is an affectionate one. Cf. Ephesians 5.1: "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children".

    Ear piercing: for sons as well as for daughters: is it appropriate? (plus poll)

    Oh no prob. Perhaps then you knew his ears were pierced, but didn't know he would get enlargements. It seems to me that with many young men - as with young women - the acquisition of ear piercings is simply a fairly natural event that comes round at a certain age. Far from a rebellion thing...
