No. The KJV is the most inaccurate translation available in English today. You simply cannot read a translation with more errors than the KJV. To compound this, because people do not speak Middle English, they often misinterpret what it is saying. Errors in the King James Version (Boy, are...

I love the different translations. Depending on the verse, one translation speaks to me more than another. Although I tend to prefer thought translations, for ease of reading, I do refer to the ESV quite a bit. It claims to be the most literal translation available in English. I find it...

Appeal to mystical dualism. Not everything is relative. Some things are absolute. Being right or wrong are absolute.

So says the mystic.

I did speak up. You aren't listening. Not everything that exists is in context. Of course, the human mind likes to make connections that aren't there, Apophenia. Also, humans tend to impose their humanity onto things that are not human, Anthropomorphize. So, we must guard against imposing...

The notion of truth exclusive to a denomination got me thinking about idolatry. What do you think?

Because not everyone thinks everything through. Indeed, most don't have the time or inclination.

Contradictions are not ambiguities. In this case, perhaps there is a qualifier missing from 'men are tormented forever in a fire.' In fact, some say that is a translation error in the first place.

Imagine writing a book. Then organizing it, not beginning to end but in descending length of each chapter. Contextless. Chronological Order of the Qur'an - WikiIslam

Don't try to tell me what I said or what I meant. And how from that exchange you conclude moral superiority is just another thing you make up. Imposing a meaning or context that is not there is just as bad as any other form of poor reading comprehension. Also, I noticed you did not answer my...

Good on you! I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before...

You just make stuff up as you go. I never said anything about the relationship between Psalms and David. Are you aware of the fact that not everything has context?

This comes to mind. Anyone who utters a curse on his father or mother must be put to death, for he has dishonored them, and their blood is on him. If a man commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both offenders must be put to death. If a man has sexual relations with his father’s wife, he...

Woah! We were talking about the one parable involving 5 foolish virgins who ran out of oil. Over and over again you asked me to explain it to you, to explain what the oil symbolized. I'm not sure when the topic turned to ALL THE PARABLES. However, that seems like a great topic for another...

Then you are in this forum under false pretenses, right?

Be prepared to meet your maker. You are determined to complicate the simple. What's great about principles is their validity over many applications. Be prepared. That's a good principle to live by. Period. Since I posted last my SIL asked for borrow money to pay his January bills. He got his...

@The Learner, I come here for a conversation. Not sure what you hope to accomplish with all this copy and pasting. FYI W

In deference to dualism, it is both. As Freud once said; "sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar." And Ps 22 was not taken out of context by Jesus. The Psalms don't have context.

Well,

It is a simple question. Who gave the Revelation to Jesus? John wrote Revelation. He says Jesus was given the Revelation, he (John) is writing to us about. John also tells us who gave Jesus the Revelation. My question is who is it that gave Jesus the Revelation. Simple question.
