She wasn’t a Christian. She didn’t speak to God about anything. Putting a KJV in her hands gave her joy and me pleasure, but I question how much good it really accomplished. I had to leave a fee days later. I don’t know how her story has unfolded. What would have happened if we had chosen the...

I’ve not said that Elizabethan language is bad. It isn’t bad. It‘s difficult for people who don’t use it regularly to understand it. Modern high school students have struggled mightily to understand Shakespeare. The oddity is that I used KJV regularly. I was KJVO. Elizabethan language shouldn’t...

In Malawi, I gifted a KJV to a woman who had never read Shakespeare. If I had gifted her a copy of Shakespeare instead, would she have understood what she was reading? She could speak a little English but she wasn’t fluent in the language. Her native language was Chichewa. English was her second...

I selected Hamlet for the subject matter and for the style of English. Select any piece of your choosing which uses Elizabethan English. The question would remain the same: Why would I struggle understanding the piece of your choosing but not struggle with understanding the Elizabethan language...

Do you also get that I suggested that I could become interested? In the first place, I didn’t come to you, you came to me. If you don’t have any interest in speaking with me, for any reason, then you shouldn’t. In the second place, you’ve mischaracterized me. I’m interested in discovering...

I’m not interested enough (yet) to spend the time required to read the piece. I was raised KJVO. When I read Shakespeare in high school I wasn’t able to understand him very well; not an uncommon condition. I should have been able to. The language style is the same. There is a reason why the...

It is the same Elizabethan language that is used in the KJV, isn’t it? It touches on the subject of death, doesn’t it? To be is to exist. Not to be is to not exist. The link is to a 12 page opinion piece. I haven’t tsken the time to read it. Would you provide a brief summary?

You’re right. Why would any believer be persuaded by it? Some are. Are they not reading their Bibles? Why would an unbeliever be persuaded by it? It confirms their unbelief. “Follow the money” answers the questions, at least in part, about the motives of skeptical scientists and newspaper...

The Daily Mail reaches a worldwide audience. A Christian apologist has to be properly equipped to respond to the “old news” recycled because it reaches a new audience every year (or so it seems) and underscores what older audiences were exposed to. Repeating the lie again and again until it is...

Most often, nothing. Jesus is a Jew and his God (Yahweh) is his Father. A biblical fact that typically doesn’t move the needle for trinitarians. Why?

“Scientists reveal exactly where Jesus was born - and say it probably WASN’T in Bethlehem …” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14209211/Scientists-reveal-Jesus-birthplace-Bethlehem.html The headline alone is nonsense but let‘s not judge the article by its title. Was Jesus born...

* No longer needing to use the bathroom; get some paper towels, a mop and a bucket. *

Good question. The answer is often surprising. And sometimes shocking.

“Most people’s first instinct is to invite their friend to Mass. That’s a mistake.” - our Catholic author shares with Catholics, and now by extension through me to our readers. Have Catholics ever invited me to Mass? Yes. Many times. Have I ever gone to Mass? Yes. Many times. [I was even...

Q. Where is the best place to find potential converts to Christianity? A. Wherever non-Christians are found. Q. Where are non-Christians found on this internet discussion forum? We should think carefully before answering that question. I’m restricted (by creed, by registration choice and by...

Matthias talks to the wind, but not without purpose. To forget that is to write me off, and to write me off is to abandon the Catholic / trinitarian Battle Plan in dealing with me, and in dealing with others.
