Re: Hello

I do not mean to interrupt the conversation, but you all have no idea how to read the KJV. You don't even know what all the words mean. It is obvious you have no idea what context means. In addition to that, the Inspired Word of God was given to the Holy Ghost lead authors of the 66 books. That was finished by 100 AD. So what makes the KJV so special. The original Inspired Word was written on what we would call a copy. By the time that King James was in office, the Bible was changed to be what was called the KJV.

We are God's people here, Amos. Many of our members are pastors in their own right, with congregations of their own. We have chosen some of the most learned men of God in the world to minister to this congregation. We study the Bible on a daily basis and discuss our findings here and with our pastors. What unmitigated gall you have to barge into this godly site to explain that we have no idea what we are talking about. Talk no more so exceedingly proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.-1 Samuel 2:3

Re: Hello

I do not mean to interrupt the conversation,

Yeah, riiight.

but you all have no idea how to read the KJV. You don't even know what all the words mean.

Do you think that God is so cruel that He would have inspired men to write The Manual of Life in such an obscure manner that the readers could not even understand the words?

Are you some sort of a Gnostic thinking that you have the access to some "real knowledge" while 99.9% of humanity is destined to Hell?

It is obvious you have no idea what context means.

Prove it.

In addition to that, the Inspired Word of God was given to the Holy Ghost lead authors of the 66 books. That was finished by 100 AD.

Nope, a couple of books are later. Also, you're forgetting about all of the Synods that sifted through thousands of circulating manuscripts in 4th century A.D. and decided what would be included in the canon and what wouldn't.

So what makes the KJV so special. The original Inspired Word was written on what we would call a copy.

Wait, what? It thought that it was written on parchment or some other primitive version of paper?

By the time that King James was in office, the Bible was changed to be what was called the KJV.

If that were true, that would mean that God allowed His Word to be changed, which would have two alternative explanations:

1) God was OK with the alleged changes and He is OK with people following this allegedly changed version.

2) God was not OK with the alleged changes, but He actually enjoys sending all of the humanity to Hell for following a distorted version of His Words.

In the former case, the alleged changes don't matter, in the latter case, God would be a very cruel individual who hates all humanity.

Re: Hello

That's how the word was used when King James commissioned this, the finest piece of literature in human language.

I had no problem at all understanding this verse when I read it for the first time, and I was TEN!!

I can't understand why you are having an issue with this particular, crystal clear passage when its truth is self-evident.

Friend, I urge you to turn from whatever filthy sin is in your heart and redouble your studies of the Word.

As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
Ecclesiastes 11:5

Re: Hello

Exactly my point. If God meant we are "not to shave off the hair around the temples and behind the ears", why doesn't He say that? Why use a word that requires the reader to know, and to know to use, the already (in 1611) archaic definition in place of that commonly accepted?

Show me your head, and then show me the obvious corners on that head, or admit that the Bible cannot be taken literally.

Re: Hello

So why doesn't it say that? All those words were available (with their present meanings) to the Committees in 1611, but they didn't use them (for some reason). What's all this guff about the "corners of your head"?

The Bible is exactly right (or so Christians claim), word-for-word, when it comes to Creation, which we have to accept as literal truth (despite every last scrap of evidence pointing in the opposite direction) or burn in Hell forever (after this life has already been made miserable by people hounding us to live up to impossible standards that they themselves have no hope of ever meeting), but when it comes to something that's patently ridiculous (like your head having corners), it's all, "but what it really means is..." in flagrant violation of that self-same Bible, viz. Deuteronomy 4:2, Matthew 5:18, and Revelation 22:19. You'd think that an all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent being would be able to say what He means and mean what He says, with no magic decoder ring necessary.

Not quite, friend Didymus. Look into the etymology of the word. The modern meaning 'grew out' (see what I did there? ) of an original meaning, circa the 13th century, meaning 'end, margin or edge'.

Re: Hello

So what do you do if the head you've got doesn't have corners in the first place?

That is, they are not to shave off the hair around the temples and behind the ears, so as to leave the head bald except a dish-like tuft upon the crown, thus imparting to their heads the form of a hemisphere.


This was done by the Arabs, and other worshippers of the god Orotal. Hence the Arabs are ironically called “those with the corner of their hair polled".(Jeremiah 9:26;Jeremiah 25:23; Jeremiah 49:32).

Re: Hello

Everyone of you are heretics and blasphemers. Mary, or whoever you are, I see you in the Lake of Fire.

Oh Captain, my silly Captain. Our one and only intention is to share the Magnificence and Glory of the Living God to the Outside World through the One and Only Tangible Source He left us - His Holy Word (King James Bible).

You are not the first to be very surprised when they see our message. God blessed us with the understanding of his Word (John 14:26). If you are upset, you are upset with the LORD, what He says, and what He desires. But you look on as a child who is denied something that is not in his best interest, or a child who is being lovingly reprimanded. God is displeased with people like you. The Prophet reveals, And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. (Zechariah 1:15 ) Don’t you see how your continued rebellion hurts the LORD?

The people of this world have changed the truth of God into lies, and that is why you are so confused as to what the Bible really says. The apostle Paul wrote, [People like you] changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:22-25) The "creature" referred to here is Satan. People like you are easily duped by Satan's lies because he tells you just what you want to hear, and so like greedy little toddlers you rush in and gobble up whatever you can find that satiates your immediate desires.

And by the way, nobody has your password. The forum software doesn't allow for people to get that information, and we are honest to a fault. We'll tell you the Truth(tm), even if you don't want to hear it.
