Re: Introduction of the Librarian

On the quality of the translation I can not give an opinion since my knowledge of the old languages it might have been translated from are nil. The premises is, that if you want to make an argument quoting from scripture, it is a good idea to quote from the same scripture. On this forum that is the KJV1611 Bible. That is probably why my quotes from the Loose Canon don´t seem to lead to the same result when trying to find an answer for a worldly problem.

Dude, it's been proven that the King James was poorly translated. These guys are using "off" information, to use the modern phrase.

As I said, I wouldn´t know. Didymus Much put it in better wording:

Disparaging something while offering no alternative is a pointless gesture, and could possibly lead to others thinking that you have no case at all, and just want to throw toys around in your pram.

Please be so kind to show us your better translation?

I don´t think librarian is going to answer this question, his last addition to this forum is some time ago.

My dear, confused child: instead of making wild statements without any proof, why don't you try to post some actual evidence?

You can start on this website. There, you can search all verses and compare different translations. I took the liberty of plugging in the first verse for you - here it is, compared in ca. 30 different translations. (Just in English, but there are some other websites where you can compare other languages too, if you wish). As you can see, the differences are semantic (universe vs. heaven/heavens and earth). Obviously, the KJV version has the best, most logical, and therefore correct translation (heaven and earth) - which, by the way, is also the most common translation of this verse (again, pointing to its correctness). Good luck comparing the rest of the verses!

Of course, it would be highly advisable if you could read ancient Hebrew and Greek, and compare all of the modern translations directly with the original. But I guess I'm expecting too much from a mom's-basement-dweller.

Re: Introduction of the Librarian

Great, but I did not hound anybody. If you are expressing love of God, then why are people asking about.movies like American Sniper? Doesn't seem to be expressing love of God.to me.......

Friend, I am not doing that. I am leading by Gods Infallible example. I am sorry for you if His Perfection is not good enough for you. Perhaps you'd find 'My Little Pony' to be more up your alley, as you people say.

You are using the book in question to defend the book. That is called circular reasoning. I tend to bend the rules of grammar a bit cos I'm using a mobile device, which is a bit tricky to type on.

No, I am showing you haw His Word is The Word. God does not make excuses like you do. Nor do I. God shepherds me and I do not question His unerring guidance.

The KJV is the one TRUE word of God. That has been proven time and time again.

Please take a look at my sermon on the subject HERE.

Don't make lame excuses for yourself, you lazy half-wit.
Proverbs 6:6

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Because God hates lame excuses:
James 5:16

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, wthat ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I'll be praying for you, punk.
