A failure to rightly divide leads to a failure to judge rightly! I can tell you that I'd be proud to be mixed up with either of you guys!

I think it's clear enough as it is. No matter how its worded, those who want to pick nits will do so.

We are too far apart here. Why did I "jump" to Romans 7? Romans 7 isn't but a couple of pages away from Romans 5. It's not exactly a big jump! Romans 7:9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. ...which is true because.... Romans 5:18...

Do you really believe that Peter, James, John, Luke, Paul and Jude would have written letters to their friends and colleagues in a language that had vowels and punctuation but just chose not to use them? Why would he have done that? No! They obviously would not have done that. The removal of...

The list uses the word to mean what it means. I will not let you reframe my list into some sort of endorsement of a pet doctrine of yours. It was not a commentary on the nature of Hell but on the condemnation of one's soul. At the very least the death I'm talking about is a permanent separation...

No it wouldn't. Give me one good example of the sort of corruption you're talking about.

The ground may be "cursed" but I am not.

Corrupted how? How many times must you be asked this question? What does it do to the text? Do you even know?

I put you on ignore yesterday. I'm taking you off ignore today. I realized that you've not done anything worthy of being put in that company. You're stubborn and lazy but not a complete idiot or blasphemous like most of those on my ignore list. I just have to get used to the fact that you...

Absolutely brilliant! Well done!

Yeah, okay. I don't disagree with you there except that my comments were made in the context of just normal folks doing normal bible reading and preaching sermons to regular folks. If your using the KJV for some scholarly purpose such as the study of the English language in the 17th century or a...

We are NOT under a curse any longer! But it does make it easier to identify and harder for people to sneak around defending it without calling attention to what it is they're actually defending. It is only the dishonest who dislike labels. That doctrine has NOTHING to do with "original sin"...

I doubt that it would have bothered me. I wouldn't have had any exposure to anything else because it was a common practice at the time because copies had to be made by hand and the practice also allowed for better copy error detection. Also, any manuscripts that had no vowels or punctuation...

A belief. That's all it is. You believe it in opposition to any evidence to the contrary that is presented to you.

You're a fool. If you're okay with twisting plainly stated verses of scripture to mean anything other than what they explicitly state then why bother with the bible at all, much less debating it! Just believe what you want to believe and drop the pretense! Welcome to my ignore list. Good bye.

It's worse that slightly outdated. It's difficult to read and follow even for people, like myself, who have been a Christian their entire lives. I can't imagine the effort that an uninitiated person would have to put into reading it. Here's something I just pulled out at random from the KJV...

You were the one who said that we are all suffering from a curse due to Adam's sin, or something along those lines. Basically, you're here defending the doctrine of original sin, which is a disgusting doctrine that is not biblical and that is an insult to the God who is Himself the very...

This sentence makes no sense! Who cares what you think logic should do? Logic, performed correctly, leads where it leads. Truth is that which is consistent with reality. Any claim is either true or it is false and logic is THE ONLY MEANS we have to determine whether any particular claim is or is...

Okay, remove the word "completely".

Prove it. This notion is a common Christian belief but I see no evidence for it in scripture. There no evidence that animals didn't eat other animals nor is there any evidence that animals were intended to be immortal. And, if Adam and Eve were created immortal, then what was the idea behind...
