You should write it! That sounds like the beginnings of a book, actually. I watched a YouTube video several months ago. The content creator was talking about 'writing to learn' and advised his viewership, instead of merely researching a topic that they're interested in, that they should set...

There is actually a term for this. It's called "entrenchment". People make decisions based on a perceived cost/benefit analysis. There is no actual analysis done in the methodical sense of the word, but merely on an intuitive basis. Someone perceives an idea and a lightning calculation is done...

Catholic dogma is up to it's eyeballs with legalism of every make model and color. Do you or do you not believe that believers are obliged to follow the Ten Commandments?

I just reread most of the first 50 posts of this thread. It is a master class on the power of paradigm. Dave is completely blind to everything RightDivider was saying. Totally and completely blind to it. So much so that it feels intentional but I doubt that it is. Dave has a lifetime of teaching...

This feels to me like a rather weird, forced and artificial distinction. Israel is not our ally because they are "western" but because their geopolitical interests align with our own. The sociopolitical similarities you've listed have to do with a shared history and worldview (a biblical...

There's a PC app. It gets bogged down far less than the online version.

Many serial killers suffered severe long term abuse. A very large percentage of them are homosexuals (for the same reason). Years ago I had a thread about that exact subject. I don't know whether it still exists or not.

I used the PC app.

Yours are better. It gave me one that wasn't in landscape mode...

Both are really good, but I was thinking of specifically highlighting their shared ministry of death... There is a direct functional parallel in Scripture between the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Law of Moses. They share the same ministry... Genesis 2:16–17 “And the LORD God...

You should make one that explicitly parallels the ministry of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil with the ministry of Law, including the Ten Commandments, and that contrasts that ministry of death with ministry of the Spirit. II Corinthians 3

I misunderstood your point. Sorry!

There would never be any such thing as a five year old murderer in a society that executed murderers. Indeed, I can't find any case where it is clear that any five year old has ever murdered anyone at all, even in this near totally unjust society, much less in one that enforces the death...

You can list all of the individual translation problems you care to and it still doesn't overcome the fact the no one speaks the language that the KJV was written in any longer. If you want a perfect translation, forget it. It cannot happen - period. Just go get the Greek or Hebrew text and good...

Certainly. Its "handlable" but the cost/benefit ratio is way out of whack. You can simply read the NKJV and save yourself the internal effort of translating the KJV into modern English as you read it.

So far as the meanings behind the words used, there's not a dime's worth of difference between the KJV vs the NKJV. There isn't any such thing as a perfect translation so they all have their issues but the NKJV manages to avoid all of the really serious problems in the other modern English...

All of which are better than the Old King James, which might as well be written in a different language. (y)

From "Proving the Existence of God"... "Solving the Regress Problem Regress means every event is dependent on a prior event that caused it. Anything that can change or move in any way is subject to this principle. Regress does not affect choices that are “free” and not the result of a series of...

The New King James is the best in my opinion for several reasons but nearly any modern English translation is better than the Old King James. I will certainly read them. There's a good chance I already have. I've been on your website many times in the past. PM me your email address.

Well, that's true, but I don't think Idolater was thinking in those terms. Most Catholics do not seem to understand Paul's gospel of grace, which is the only one that will save you.
