There clearly are lots of reactions back and forth, and back and forth again. I suppose it then becomes a debate of which came first, the chicken or the egg (i.e., who started it). (I did a quick scan through BB's posts in the Bible Versions Forum a week or so ago, and my "anecdotal evidence"...

We might quibble about whether it is "raging," but here are some examples of negative language against the KJV from right here on the the BB:

But all rectangles and squares are quadrilaterals and parallelograms. Yes, that seems to be the topic of and reason for the opening post.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott Signs Bill to Ban Abortions When Unborn Baby’s Heartbeat Begins

Glad to know your feeling better. May the Lord continue to bless and heal you.

According to the Nashville Tennessean, he is going to work for Christianity Today. Russell Moore, head of Southern Baptist public policy arm, leaving ERLC for Christianity Today From the horse's mouth

Yes, about 20 years with the current version. I recall there was something we had before this one -- maybe there was a change of hosts or something, but it was replaced by what we have currently. Anyway, we may come and go, but the Board itself seems to have stayed around for the long haul. I...

Thanks. So are Yeshua and Messiah, when you get right down to it.

Austin, I am curious about your responses about the name of “Jesus”. Do you believe the New Testament Scriptures were originally inspired in Greek? If so, do you believe the Greek manuscripts that we have are generally reliable, which use Ιησου/Ιησους? If the fact that he would have responded to...

Hi, Michael. Just noticed that you are a fairly recent member. Welcome to the Baptist Board. I hope you find it beneficial.

There is no official or definitive list of essentials on which we make our tests of fellowship. To a large degree, Baptists make that decision at the local level; that is, the congregation determines what they will and will not tolerate. Yes, this is the way I have always heard it: In...

The association of a man’s children and the curse of rebuilding Jericho is also worthy of note. This fate was ordained by God rather than a punishment under the law of Moses. Joshua 6:26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth...

That might be a possibility, since the stuff was hid in the tent, and the whole family may have been aware of it. On the other hand, there is nothing of which I am aware in the text of Joshua 7 that suggests they were aware of it. And then there is the fact that "his oxen, and his asses, and his...

No, they do not, but calling a pastor a "bishop" does not make them episcopal. Having an episcopal system of government does. The article specifically says those African-American Baptists to which they refer have a congregational system of government. I was only disagreeing with that one...

I question the importance of this being in the article: The article is about episcopal as opposed to congregational polity. Simply calling a minister "bishop," which is a biblical name, is only peripherally related to the subject.

I took a quick look at the Evangelicalism article. It is very long so I certainly have not read it word for word. It seems to be generally workable, with certain oddities. For example, in the beliefs section there is a fairly lengthy piece on "sexuality," while there are no sections on what...

...they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush... Jeremiah 6:15 Those Things By Which We Get Embarrassed

Just because my persecution is worse than your persecution does not mean yours is not persecution. I think that we Christians in America can realize that what is happening to us is not as great as the persecution of those who are being imprisoned, tortured, and executed in other places -- while...

Sam_the_Brave, just noticed your introductory post. Once again, “Welcome to the Baptist Board.” I hope you find it a blessing.

No, he is wrong. John is writing to believers, so we cannot remove believers from the equation and insert unbelievers. This reminds me of a friend who was talking to someone who believed she had reached a state of sinlessness. He mentioned the struggles of Paul the apostle, and referred her to...
