Serious Questions

[Serious]

First off, the questions I'm asking are because I legitamitely want to know the answers. I am not trying to convince you guys of anything or argue or any of that crap. Now I know this happens a lot, but please give me some real answers instead of telling me to read my rights on the forum and the FAQ and that I should tell you all about myself and all that. And yes Felicity I guess we can be friends.

Now that that's over, the questions.

#1 - Why the KJV1611? What makes it different than other Bibles? The only thing I know about it is that it was the first Bible that was written in the vernacular.

#2 - When was the first Bible written and in what language?

#3 - Do you think it is possible that some of the things said in the KJV1611 Bible are just figures of speech? For example:

Jeremiah 16:19:
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

You could conclude that that verse is proof the Earth being flat. But, couldn't it just be an expression that could just as easily be replaced with "all of the world"? Again, just asking...please don't take offense to this... I know you will.

#4 - Can a non-white person be saved? Ever? Even if they completely follow the KJV1611?

#5 - Do you believe that under no circumstances can rape be a man's fault? Never? There is no durranged men out there that rape innocent True Christian women? Is there some sort of verse that confirms this?

#6 - Does God actually hate entire contries just based on generalizations that may only apply to a limited amount of that countrie's population? Or because of certain laws?

#7 - What is supposed to happen if a married person gets raped? (marriage wise)

#8 - Does marriage have anything to do with love? Or is just about having babies? (I'm not talking about sex, I am talking about marriage)

#9 - Should a women ever have a career? What about a women who is not fertile?

#10 - What do you True Christians do for fun? How much time a day do you spend reading the KJV1611?

Hopefully I'll get some serious answers and won't be seen as a devil worshipping atheist...but seeing from so many previous people...my chances seem slim at best...

Really, you atheists are just so rude. You barge in here, don't say a thing about yourself and start demanding answers.

1. Because God says so
2. The first KJV Bible was written in 1611
3. No
4. Yes
5. Of course rapes the mans fault, women just ask for it by putting themselves out there.
6. Yes, the only reason they're not destroyed is because there's at least 10 True Christians living there.
7. man is supposed to die (Read Deuteronomy 22)
8. what do you think
9. don't care
10. laugh at you behind your back.

#1 - Why the KJV1611? What makes it different than other Bibles?

Read Pastor Zekes sermon on how to tell real Bibles from false ones.

Not quite. There were quite a few, but King James' men took a more scholarly approach to it.

#2 - When was the first Bible written and in what language?

The age depends on which book. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew. The New in Greek.

#3 - Do you think it is possible that some of the things said in the KJV1611 Bible are just figures of speech? For example:

Jeremiah 16:19:
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

No. We take it literally.

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

#4 - Can a non-white person be saved? Ever? Even if they completely follow the KJV1611?

Of course. We have some ex-negros in our congregation.

#5 - Do you believe that under no circumstances can rape be a man's fault? Never? There is no durranged men out there that rape innocent True Christian women? Is there some sort of verse that confirms this?

I don't like the way you say fault. Rape is a horrible crime. We do all we can to prevent it by making sure our women are modestly dressed and not out alone.

Read the scriptures that say that only the man should be put to death under certain circumstances.

Deuteronomy 22:25-27 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.

#6 - Does God actually hate entire contries just based on generalizations that may only apply to a limited amount of that countrie's population? Or because of certain laws?

Yes most definitely. He wants them for Christians.

Deuteronomy 31:3-5 The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said. And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.

#7 - What is supposed to happen if a married person gets raped? (marriage wise)

See above. The rapist dies unless it happened in a city. Then they both die.

#8 - Does marriage have anything to do with love? Or is just about having babies? (I'm not talking about sex, I am talking about marriage)

It's just about having children and setting up hereditary rights. With any luck you will love your mate as I do mine.

#9 - Should a women ever have a career?

No.. Paul writes that woman should be..

Titus 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

#10 - What do you True Christians do for fun? How much time a day do you spend reading the KJV1611?

I like hunting, fishing and sharing the Word with non-believers. I usually spend an hour or two reading the Bible.

I didn't think I was being "too rude" or "demanding" answers. You didn't have to answer them...

Also I'm not really an atheist...if you must know I'm a "Catlick"...but from what I've read here that's not much better to you all than an atheist.

Then you need to bury your nose in the Bible pronto! You should also read this thread.

The only thing in that thread that I had a problem with was...


CATHOLIC TRADITION - The mass. Through transubstantiation, the wafer/host and the wine supposedly become the actual blood and body of Jesus Christ when the priest prays over them.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS - Jesus died once for sins, never to be repeated. He sits on the right hand of God and does not reappear in the mass as a mass of blood and flesh.

I don't really understand.

Read the scriptures.

1 Corinthians
11:24 And when he [Jesus] had given thanks, he brake it [bread], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come (not for the forgiveness of sins or to receive Jesus).

Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

Worse. Atheists are generally just ignorant, but catylicks have had the opportunity to hear the Word of God and have made a conscious decision to spit in Jesus's eye.

Both will burn in Hell, of course, but Satan undoubtedly has a special implement prepared for those who worship the Goddess Mary, kiss the Pope's ring and interfere with little boys.

I don't pray to Mary.
I don't know much about the Pope or any rings.
Umm...I don't know what to say to the last one...what do you mean?

Re: Serious Questions

Why don't people learn to read before posting. The answers are all in the Bible and on many of the threads. Are people getting lazy and just want quick answers instead of learning the word of the Lord.

So tell us more about yourself. You mentioned you are a catlicker. Are you a male or female? Do you attend mass often? How old are you?

Have you been reading the King James Bible also. It will take more than a few hours.

I apologize for coming across as so rude, I was tired and ever since school has let out we've been inundated by children whose liebral parents think that the computer makes a good babysitter.
