"When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." 1 Samuel 18:1 I prefer God's word -- Scripture -- to silly graphics.

John 3:16-17, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him." Matthew 11:28-30...

1 Corinthians 13:1-7, "If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but do not have love, I am...

Taking an out-of-context quote (as usual) means nothing. Here is that section of Scripture in context: If a prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the Lord, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. And...

"Lord dont you know that saying offended them" (missing apostrophe) "JESUS nor the apostels pandered..." (twice, so not a typo) (missing neither and "apostles" is misspelled (as always). How can anyone who writes such poor English read the King James translation and claim to understand it?

So who are the real gospel authors? Please state who they are and give evidence of your conclusion. It is clear that you don't understand that the Gospels (and the entire Bible) are not Western journalism.. They are written to teach us spiritual truths. Your example of the differing accounts...

And what I'm hoping for is that YOU dig into scripture to find the truth and quit listening to false teachers in false churches who are corrupting the word. Start digging into scripture to find the truth. Quit worrying about other people such as me and study scripture. You might learn...

Clearly you have not even looked at modern translations. They clearly indicate to the reader what were not in the manuscripts by italicization. And often provide additional explanatory notes. The NET translation has over 65,000(!) such notes. And they indicate those parts of Scripture that...

The KJV is based on a limited number of Medieval manuscripts, is based partly on earlier translations, and was ordered by a secular king to bolster his claim to be a ruler. Modern translations are created by scholars from a large collection of sources and reviewed by a committee of people from...

Child abusers who prefer violence to instruction.

Are you serious??? If so, you are deluded. Modern translations are based on far better source documents and far better methodology than the KJV. The Majority Text, also known as the Byzantine and Ecclesiastical Text, is simply one method of determining the original reading of a Scripture by...

a) How do you know how many people read the Bible? b) Many choose a modern translation because it is based on better and more sources, better methodology, and written in clear, correct, modern English.

God will show those who are open to the truth, even if its not what they want to hear...

This is absurd. a) You cannot lump "the modern translations" into one group, then make a meaningless statement. Most modern translations (with the exception of paraphrases) are carefully crafted, accurate translations, meticulously created by committees of scholars from various denominations...

This is sophistry. The OT Jews were God's chosen people. Jesus was a Jew, as were all His disciples and all the Prophets, so saying that Jews don't believe that Jesus was/is the Messiah is nonsense. All the "books" of the Bible (with one exception) were written by Jews and all the members...

:jest: Read my previous post!

I believe what Jesus said, not what you say... "Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. Everything that the Father gives me will come...
