BINGO
If it is more palatible to you, let me suggest that more R ratings be plastered on this stuff they are pawning off as PG???????
Our youth are dying physically and spiritually, again just one of many places to "start".
If I had a nickel for every newbie who's popped up in the last month with a terminal cancer reference...
Not that dehydration isn't any less inhumane merely from the standpoint of someone being terminal either...
I wish I could believe that. However, I believe that evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
You're making lemonaid out of apples and oranges.
The source of the KJV was The so-called Textus Receptus, which was preserved by the Orthodox Church, thus for the most part, protestants and orthodox use the same text.
"" replace it with studying hebrew and greek - it is more worthwhile...""
"Pure nonsense! - The KJV was given to us by the Holy Spirit, and proof of that fact is contained in the nature of the text. Impossibly complex numeric patterns were embedded in the text to prove to those who wish to possess the truth that the translation is fully inspired. To those who don't care, there's no hope anyway."
so you blame the translation errors in the KJV on the Holy Spirit? I would be really careful with that statement!
it says "In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;"
if you do not know the original (and i'm not talking westcott/hort) then you are ignorant and ineligible to speak on the subject - case closed.
"You know our pastor, (currenly following the Rick Warren fad - a handful of us are working up a counterattack to this insidious poison tainted philosophy)"
glad i'm not the only one that feels that way.
would be interested to see offline what kind of counterattack y'all are doing.
for one, his mentor "business guru" peter drucker is into pure neomarxism, just doing with different terminology. and it comes thru in warren's stuff.
secondly, it is really more of an attack like the ottomans did on europe during their expansionist years - christians were divided, so it was easy to exploit their weaknesses. third, it seems to be a false unity (ecumenism) propounded where if you disagree with principles in it, you are branded a rebel.
these last two seem oxymoronic unless you view it in terms of balance.
fourth, if we are to be effective in countering this junk, the scripture comes to mind "In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;"

"You're making lemonaid out of apples and oranges."
mixed metaphors?!
"The source of the KJV was The so-called Textus Receptus, which was preserved by the Orthodox Church, thus for the most part, protestants and orthodox use the same text."
mixed logic process?
Textus Receptus is no one single text - it is thousands. And to which Orthodox do you refer? The Greek, Eastern, etc.? Do you have any idea what the Peshitta is? Can you read either the koine diathiki or the aramaic? You are simply to make lemonaid out of...
if you are not conversant with the languages - all you can do is make noise. as they say in evrit - lekh l'azazel, ki ain tikvah bishvilkha b'aretz...
It's under tactful
That because you don't let children, BE children. You cancel they play time. Censor any thought provoking, plot intense entertainment. And load them down with busy work (homework). The kids today never have a chance to be kids, so you should not expect them to grow-up into mature adults.
sorry Paul,
went to the url, put in 'tactful' and...
am still not seeing 'tacful' down there?!
BLNT
"And load them down with busy work (homework). The kids today never have a chance to be kids, so you should not expect them to grow-up into mature adults."
that is the truth - when they load kids down with five hours of homework - someone is not doing their work at school and it is not the kids we're talking about!
I agree with you...the comments at work and amongst my friends have all been along the same klines as well...even from those that I may have assumed thought otherwise...this is a major issue and if the "polls" were worded correctly the MSM would be shocked by the response.
Strong words from the Scots (ok, one Scot). Gerald Warner has done his homework. It's nice to see a journalist who actually knows the facts (for a change).
Amen!
