The Word "Pascha"....in Greek STILL means "Easter" to this day. There is an entirely different word used if they want to convey what they call the "Jewish Passover". The word "Passover"...though not technically incorrect, is misleading to the modern reader who tends to think that it is...

No....They did that for a reason....do some actual research before you spout off this way.

Agreed! It was a great post....I don't think I would agree completely (I'm a little more KJV I suppose)....but I can dig that post :thumbsup: Very well-written!

:eek: That was my impression. He asks a few honest questions with no intention of insulting,and he is immediately and consistently pounced on for it. I must have missed the part where he started hurling insults at "Cowboy Churches". WOW!!!! Just, WOW!!!

The initial intent was to create an entirely new Translation of the Bible which was an (abandoned and unfinished/un-published) project....That is what I was referring to....perhaps I should have made myself more clear. NO, my "google" thing was spot-on about that.

Then presumably, it didn't effect James' wife and 7 kids either.

I may be mistaken.....Perhaps I should look into it more. It's been my understanding that many of those letters are re-constructs. Perhaps I need more info. That being said....It doesn't amount to a hill of beans anyway.

Does your "gayness" effect how you view this discussion?

This is the sum total of your argument...to which I will give two rejoinders: 1.) Provided that everything quoted is actually true....you apparently have read quite little of personal letters men wrote in that era. NEWSFLASH: These were NOT 19th century American Males.....men were MUCH...

I know....the purpose, however, of posing a hypothetical is to pose or force a particular answer to an idea which is inherently relevant to the LARGER issue at hand. You are CLEARLY avoiding answering the hypothetical..... Anyone who poses a hypothetical KNOWS that it's a...

This is true....but, then again, the KJV translators understood that though written in Greek....it was a distinctively HEBREW Spirit that the writers (who were Jews) were trying to preserve...... DUH!!! I note your man was a non-Christian when he began this failed and un-published work.

LOL :laugh: You DO realize that you are quoting from an abandoned and never actually PUBLISHED source right? His "Four Gospels" (from which you are quoting) never made it into permanent print apparently, or at least the greedy attempt at yet ONE MORE translation of the Bible (critically...

Here's a quicklist of some unintelligible archaicisms found in the NIV which my blessedly current KJV makes more readable for the modern seeker. http://www.av1611.org/kjv/vanceniv.html

If you actually BELIEVE that as of 1957 (when this was written) that that is an accurate representation of the general situation in most Churches than you have frankly deluded yourself.

Of course!!! I don't care if Murdoch DOES own said publishing house....it's immaterial. But gay-baiting is equally as stupid....why would you follow suit? Here's a quick note on how to read those histories....what you will find is that the so-called "evidence" of James' homosexual...

I will say this......your hypothetical is exposing more than we might realize. except for some rather poignant responses earlier, the KJV-detractors simply REFUSE to answer your question. I find it quite telling that there are many on this thread who simply refuse to answer an obvious...

REALLY? Is that what you honestly think? That the only reason one might think the translators of the KJV were correct in that translation is because they assume the translators were "inspired"?....you didn't bother to research it at all did you? Fact: The word is translated "passover" 29...
