So their versions are selected based on the bias of the organization's interpretation and belief system. (That seems about right....) Rhema

I find this fascinating in that there is no "Authorized Version." Neither King James, the Anglican Church, nor the translation committees ever used the word "Authorized." Instead, this was placed on the cover at the sole discretion of the printer in order to sell more of his books, than KJV...

Obviously you can see from Garyflet's post that there was NO cause... but thank you for playing.

I find that accusation rather fascinating, in that the "Textus Receptus" was composed by a guy named Erasmus and published only as a supportive appendix to his new Latin translation, which he expected to replace the "inferior" Vulgate. One might say the TR was rushed to publication, having many...

Can you read Greek? If not, then your "findings" are not worth very much, sir. Rhema

Which humans? Your premise seems to be based on the absurd notion, "My translation is right while everybody else's is wrong." And yet... regardless of the Greek sources used, the Koine Dialect of Greek was unknown to Cambridge and Oxford in 1611. “One man is to be given the credit for the...

Would the prophet Jeremiah suffice? How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us," when, in fact, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie? (Jeremiah 8:8 NRSV) Oh... right.... How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in...

It's just common respect to stick to the OP. But I'm not sure I want any conversation with someone who hurls the epithet "liar" so easily. It would just be a big waste of time. Thanks, Rhema

Good point. Maybe the "list" should be edited to reflect greater clarity.

I had been directly asked by the OP (@garyflet)... you could ask him... I happen to have respect for my fellow man. (And God has noted your accusation.) Rhema (Of course you could always start a new thread and invite me in... )

I have been asked not to reply to posts that are off point from the OP. Let me know if you start a thread or a PM about it. Rhema

PM shortly, then.

Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. (Matthew 18:27 KJV) But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. (Matthew 12:7 KJV) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees...

I'm not quite sure I understand. They were either righteous before God or not. But you underlined the phrase "according to the Law" Yet the text doesn't even say that in the KJV - And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless...

Why do people here like to accuse others of being dishonest? Your reply (as worded) expressed an eagerness from you to post your views. That's why I wrote "Do tell." In common parlance, your words indicated a challenge. And I'm really not one to engage in verbal combat. Thanks kindly, Rhema...

In the days of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly order of Abijah. His wife was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Both of them were righteous before God, living blamelessly according to all the commandments and regulations of...

Ohhhh and here I thought we weren't playing the game of putting words into the mouths of others. I know of three or four various "solutions' but you seemed so eager (with hand up and waiving) to give your answer, that I sat on the edge of my seat to say "Do tell." (And here I thought you'd tell...

Do tell... (Or not.) Thanks, Rhema

If nothing else, the Catholic Rite has a "temporary holding cell" known as purgatory, and a gift of money to the church (known as an indulgence) will create "merit" such that a deceased loved one can be released into heaven by order of the Pope or his designee. This exact issue, the meritocracy...

The simple answer is not according to Catholic Rite, nor according to its daughter, the Protestant Offshoots (plural). And from a Modern Evangelical Perspective, most certainly not. But I would suggest, though, that one might ask oneself... are you saved according to Jesus? I am familiar with...
