[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

RaceBannon,

Why do you read the Bible in English? Aren't the Old Ways good enough for you?

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Why do you doubt the Word of God? Paul preached in different ways to save different groups. He became all things to all men so that some might be saved. Is your way more Holy than the Bible?

You remind me of Peter who while praying on the roof, a blanket comes down filled with unclean animals. God tells him, "Rise, kill and eat" and Peter replies "Not me Lord!".

Peter was acting as if his view of Holiness was greater than God's! God then tells Peter, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."

At what point will you say, "Not my will Lord, but yours"? Or will you always declare impure that which God uses to save souls?

Why is your sense of offense more important to you than souls being saved? Would you have been among the Pharisees criticizing our Lord for eating with Publicans and sinners? Would you say, "Why are you doing this Lord, don't you know you are Holy? Why are you trying to act cool?"

I want to see people saved. You complain that those reaching out don't meet your standards. Who is bitter?

[Pure Country]

Ani, Ani, Ani. I told you that I wished you well. Why the attacks still? You're ecumenical, anything goes kind of gal/guy. I'm fundamental. Let it go at that. I'm not going to discuss this any further with you. Neither is going to change. Just remember what you save them with is what you save them to.

[RaceBannon]

Since the English translation is not a sinful approach to make the Bible worldly, and Christianity 'modern', I think it is ok.
