You're not an exception. In fact, you prove my point. You say some rather odd things. First, it isn't mandatory to attend school throughout the world. Second, I never said that education would guarantee a high intellect. Good for you and your brother. But how many mentally retarded women did...

This verse has precisely the opposite meaning as you attempt to give it. Your interpretation seems to be that "the swift" may not win the race due to some random chance event or that "the strong" may lose the battle because of an unlucky circumstance. However, what this verse is really teaching...

I didn't even mention arranged marriages. Since you seem to believe that you chose your spouse allow me to point out that -- You did not chose which country, state, or even city you would be born into, nor did you chose which country, state, or even city your future spouse would be born into...

Is having a choice the basis for human relationship? Maybe not. For example, we did not choose our parents; yet, virtually all children love their parents. We do not choose our siblings; yet, most people feel a brotherly/sisterly love towards their siblings. These feeling are hard to supress...

Askjo, it is to your shame that you do not study the 17th century language of the KJV. From Webster's 1828 English Dictionary -- TEST'IMONY, n. [L. testimonium.] A solemn declaration or affirmation made for the purpose of establishing or proving some fact. Such affirmation in judicial...

Yes they were, and I'm sure you've been shown this before. From Webster's 1828 English Dictionary -- WITNESS, n. 1. Testimony; attestation of a fact or event. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. John 5. 2. That which furnishes evidence or proof. Laban said...

Indeed, the KJV uses the word "chance" 5 or 6 times I recall. It may be that it is being used merely as a colloquialism ('informal expression'). However, I don't believe in randomness (chance or luck). Scientifically, there does not seem to be such a phenomena. Some events are so complex that...

I read a different version of NT every 4 to 6 months. I just finished the MLB (very good!); I am currently reading the ALT (based upon the MT). I have a Knox but its way down the list for me (because of its underlying text). Why do you like it?

Welcome, Jen. That's interesting in that we probably don't have too many members that are familiar with the NJB (much less read it).

It seems Askjo trots this one out ever so often. Here's an example from about 3 years ago-- http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=40172&highlight=bear+witness+testimony&page=3 I guess it never gets old.

For nearly 1000 years the Vulgate was the dominant Bible used in all Christian churches. There was no confusion because it was the only version widely used. This is historical fact that cannot be denied.

I'd love to! Contact me when ever you're in town.

Is there room for me in your minority?

stilllearning, I was generally responding to several of your recent claims/questions: you replied (to TomVols) that the KJV did not contribute to "confusion" in the 17th century Bible version situation AND you asked (annsni) for examples of differences in early English versions. I did not...

Hey Rob, do you own it?

I enjoyed reading through the MLB New Testament last year. I would highly recommend it.

Almost right. (But 'almost' right is still wrong.) I've actually read the NT through in Tyndale's 1534/5 version, a Geneva edition, Coverdale, the Great Bible, and a Bishop's edition. For example, the Great Bible has these words in Acts 23 -- And delyver them beastes, that they maye sett...

If you are a Bible software user you may be familiar with the Lexham English Bible (copyright 2010 by Logos Bible Software). It is a "relatively literal" New Testament digital version (based upon some interlinear work). Old Testament being developed. Supplied words are noted with italics; idioms...

The two above statements are incorrect if taken as definitions. While "synergism" & "monergism" are not exclusively theological terms, and often there are not precisely agreed upon meanings for these two words in theological discussions, kyredneck's statement following "synergism" is...

So you are saying that between Resurrection Day and when Thomas touched Jesus, He had ascended to Heaven (and obviously, then decended again)?
