I am not sure if you were responding to the article or responding to me as if I were advocating all of the article. I don't know how to be any more clear that I am not doing that. The article brought up some observations about which people were most compliant and which people were not. Although...

Welcome!

The poor are expected to put themselves in greater danger to give lesser protection to the rich. I understand that my life is considered of less value than those that I might come in contact with. It has been like this for most of my life, except when it wasn't, and others were expected to...

Maybe we need a meme thread, where we post memes that that stand out in some way, regardless of whether we approve of them. Just a simple news flash, that the meme exists. I agree some are not funny! I am grateful to know they exist, though. It saddens me so much that the secular divisions are...

The vaccine is not as effective against this strain, but the recommendations are becoming mandates to get it. Sigh. That makes sense. NOT! I got my second vaccine yesterday, and I am not well at all. My throat is so swollen that it is restricting my airflow slightly. I prefer not to take...

The NET also includes the verses often removed from non-KJV bibles. I am wondering if this version might be more palatable to some KJV preferred churches as a Bible study tool This is the baby of DTS.

I have been learning some new interesting things about the NET Bible. There are a growing number of new editions without notes: leather large print, notetaking, Artwork, Abide, etc. The second edition is more strongly tied to Strong's so will work well in some less...

Parents that refuse to give their children chemotherapy often lose custody of them. Parents that don't take their children for enough checkups can lose custody of them. Laws are not always right or fair. The courts sometimes care more about tradition and pride and so many other things more than...

I have learned that I need to ask Catholics what Catholics believe, rather than hearing what Protestants claim Catholics believe.

I hate to see shortwave dismantled. Redirected can be redirected again quite easily, but dismantled is gone.

My name is a common name. I start right off using my middle name in most classes and forums, and that is usually enough. The X after your name stands out sharply. An avatar picture will help even more.

The English word "vex" is interesting. I think it was only used once or twice or so in the NT, but more often in the OT. That was a common English word that has almost disappeared from modern usage. Ox, axe, and vex were words taught in the primers and first readers for the youngest students. I...

The KJV NT uses a very small subset of the words from the English language. Quantifying the Task of Learning Greek 7,940 total verses[1] 138,150 total words (by word count) 5,420 distinct words The first thing to observe is that, of this 5,420 words, nearly 2,000 of them appear only once...

The work of most Pastors is never "done" and the boundaries of what is "work" are so vague. Most pastors are under an incredible amount of pressure and are asked to do the impossible. I have a saying: "To fail the impossible is not failing." I think a lot of people are not pleased with the...

Welcome!!! I hate Facebook. At times, I have resorted to having an account for as long as I needed it for what I needed to get done. Then I deleted it. Facebook has never been my happyplace. LOL.

One of my mom's marriages was to a much older man that was a very young soldier in WW2. He had bad PTSD but it was not labeled that, even though his PTSD put the people around him in grave danger. He visited and took care of older veterans at no small sacrifice and despite really struggling with...

Interesting: now I need to research the word vouchsafe. Vouchsafe pops up in so many other 17th and 18th century religious and secular books, and in later Bible translations. I appears to have been in the Anglican 1662 Book of Common Prayer which had an impact on English at least as great as...

Vouchsafe might be a word worth looking at.

Which publishers of Baptist books sell their own translation? Which ones purchase the rights to quote another translation? Or quote the KJV or another public domain translation? Years ago, most study Bibles and commentaries used a translation published by another publisher rather than their own...

1 Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered unholy fire before the LORD, such as he had not commanded them. 2 And fire came forth from the presence of the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. 3 Then...
