A big deal for me...

[Railroad]

I reaffirmed my belief today and became a member of my church.

I want to thank God for all of the blessings He has brought to my life.

Congratulations, young lady!!

I don't think so. Why should it be any different here than it is in the dirt world? All religions are out there pointing fingers and saying "Your way is wrong". They each believe that they have the true path to whatever it is they think they're supposed to get in the here after.

I don't think you can find the truth in any organized religion, unless you have a predefined notion of what you want the truth to be.

But having said that..

CityGirl, if what you have done has brought more joy to you, and makes it so you look forward to the morning, congratulations, you did the right thing.

Conversion through fear of eternal retribution.. yet he's a loveing and forgiving God.

WOW... how's that working out?

He is a loving God, but he is a just God.
Try reading the KJ Bible and leave the perversions to the liberals.

What's the perversion.. You are asking people to accept Christ or accept eternal damnation.

Kind of a form of blackmail don't you think?

Seems the Muslims are doing a little better with the 70 virgins..

Take your pick if it's not the King James Bible and it's some other translation, then it's a perVERSION.
Sure the Muslims might be doing better. Broad is the path that leads to destruction.

Why the King James Version?? What's so special about it? So not only is your church the ONLY right church, you also use the ONLY right bible??

Since nobody talked to the original authors when they translated the work, four five or ten times over, all would be not true copy of the original..

Calling any of them perversions seems a little extreme, and a little hateful.

The King James BIBLE is the only one that has stood the test of time. It was translated in 1611.
OTOH the NIV had a lesbian on the translating board. I'm pretty sure that God wouldn't have a lesbian translate His Holy Book. The other versions also leave out verses of God's word.

I've never stated that I go to the only right church. http://av1611.com/kjbp/

I truley hope that when you die and stand before God he looks down on you and says "Judge not lest ye be judged."

People like you turn more people away from God then to him with your holier then thou attitude.

What's funny is that since I was raised in a sect of Christianity that you don't believe in you automatically ASSUMED you knew about my faith which you're apparently mistaken. The last church I attended with any regularity was a Baptist church and had I ever encountered anyone like you at said church you can believe that I would not have returned. You are an idiot and do more harm to your "cause" then good. Why don't you go speak to your pastor about how you condem others. You're playing God and to me is more damning then ANYTHING else discussed here.

That is absolute garbage taught by some Baptists and others that grasp on the fact that it is the "Authorized Version". Hello? Anyone in there? It was authorized by King James. God did not put His stamp of approval on the King James version and say that's it, all the rest are wrong. Believing the the King James version is the ONLY Bible is as wrong as the snake handlers that say you must handle poisonous snakes in order to prove you are saved. Do your realize in 600 A.D., scripture was only allowed to be in Latin even though by 500 A.D. the scripture had already been translated into over 500 languages.

If any version is authorized by God, it would be the original scrolls first written by the original authors in Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek. Then there were other versions that came before the King James like the Latin Vulgate (382 A.D. the first assembled Bible), Wycliffe (1384 AD), Gutenberg (1455 AD Latin), Martin Luther's German New Testament (1522 AD), Tyndale's New Testament (526 AD), Myles Coverdale's Bible (1535 AD first complete Bible in English), Tyndale-Matthews Bible (1537 AD), The "Great Bible" (1539 AD first authorized Bible for "public use"), The Geneva Bible (1560 AD added numbered verses), The Bishops Bible (1568 AD the Bible of which the King James is a revision), First Complete English Catholic Bible (1609 AD), and some others interviening along the history of the Bible. Now we come to the King James VERSION of the Bible in MODERN English of the time of King James, date: 1611 A.D..

The King James has some trivial translation problems. For instance "wine skins" was translated "wine bottles". That does lead to a problem in that new wine put in old wine skins will cause the skins to burst, but new wine put into old wine bottles will not cause the bottle to burst, so there is a bit of loss of meaning.

Mark 2:22 (King James Bible)
22And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.

Mark 2:22 (New American Standard Bible)
22"No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins."

See the problem?

Did you know that New American Standard Bible is considered the most accurate of the translations in English? The scolars went back to the Hebrew-Arimaic and Greek and translated rather than work from any English Bible.
Don't put your fingers in your ears. Hear the truth. Your pastor, if he is teaching you this tripe, is leading you astray. I suggest you find another church if that is what your church is teaching, because if they believe that the King James is the ONLY true Bible, they are teaching heresies.

Turn or burn!

Absolute Truth, but without the path to having your name in the Book of Life.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

As a Baptist, you must believe once save always saved. What do you do with this?

Revelation 3:5
5'He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

So if your name can be erased from the Book of Life then you must have been saved to have had your name in the Book of Life and then turned from God and had your name erased from the Book of Life, therefore the Baptist doctrine of "once saved always saved" does not hold up to the Truth of scripture.

OMG, NOT a lesbian!!! :lookofshockanddisbelief:

But he has pedophiles sharing his words today..

I would THINK he would prefer a lesbian doing traslations, to a pedophile spreading the word.. I just don't see the danger to society a lesbian has, compared to that of a pedophile.. maybe you see it differently?


Besides, what's a nun to do??
