Pleased to meet you.

[Lady Delacroix]

Good evening, followers of LBC.
My name is Annette, but you all may call me Lady Delacroix.

I just happen to stumble upon this web address, and was certainly impressed by your commitment to a 2000+ year old book.

From what I've been reading, you expect me to automatically convert with a snap of a finger. I highly doubt that will happen, but you never know what the future will hold.

So, with that said, I will wait for your responses and (eventual) questions you all may or may not have for me.

Farewell (temporarily),
Lady Delacroix

No, we expect you to pick up the KJV 1611 Bible.

Re: Pleased to meet you.

I had one of those little books a long time ago. I'm not sure where it went, though.
It probably just got lost when I moved.

We will call you what you are: a heathen. You say so yourself.

What do you think we would be committed to? A brand new book that has NOT withstood the test of time like the Bible? Something like Freakanomics?

Yes, but it has to be the snap of your finger. You have received God's message in your heart. As soon as you stop rejecting his message, you will be saved. Isn't that great?

I highly doubt that will happen, but you never know what the future will hold.

You DO know what the future holds. The Bible tells us. Go read Revelations.

What would you like to know about us or the Bible?

Re: Pleased to meet you.

Thank you.
I'm still not sure why I need to read an old book that's been translated so many times that the original message is probably not even close to what it originally was.
But, thank you anyway.

Please support your claim by showing us evidence that the KJV Bible is not a proper translation of the Greek and Hebrew. Till then, I will assume you made that up.

Except that it has been compared to the oldest texts (dead sea scrolls?) and found to be accurate.

Do you really think that God is so weak that he couldn't keep his own word straight?

I call myself human, although the two words do sound alike, so I'm not surprised that you got them mixed up.

Yes, but it has to be the snap of your finger. You have received God's message in your heart. As soon as you stop rejecting his message, you will be saved. Isn't that great?

I haven't received any message from any deity, in my heart or otherwise.

Sure, I'll get right on that.

There are no "proper" translations.
If someone were to translate this post into, say, spanish or french, there are going to be words that mean two different things in the other language, and the translator would basically be forced to guess which is the right meaning using context clues. It could be close to what the original message was, but it wouldn't be exact or "proper".

If God is omnipotent and such, then I'm sure he could keep it straight.
Humans, on the other hand, are prone to error.

Close, but no cigar!

As for the other perversions out there, you'll find most of them came after 1970. So please explain why the KJV Bible was good enough for almost 400 years, but not good enough for the "me generation".

Probably because the work required would take a few years to complete by human hand, while a computer can do the same work in about a day (or less).

Wow, so where did all those Bibles come from before that? You do realize that the printing press has been around for a few centuries, right?

Hey, you're heart is hardened, you're going to Hell, that's fine with me. I'm only judged on whether or not I shared the gospel with you, not whether or not you accept it. God knows his own.

A printing press makes copies. Computers (if properly programed) can translate a document from one languange to another, instead of a human translating it one word and/or phrase at a time.

I already said it would be unlikely that I converted.
But, hey, at least you tried
