I see that: Originally Posted by Colossians 4:15 --- KJV Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. Originally Posted by Colossians 4:15 --- ESV Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.

Tell that to Sandy Koufax, Alice Cooper, or Marilyn Manson.

Not equivalent, given a couple millennia, and you very well know it.
Someday, AV, I predict you will have a moment of devastating clarity in which you realize that you've been trying to believe in not God, but a flawed (albeit sincere) old translation of scriptures.
I would like to be around to see that, since I think you'd be happy with the mental (and probably spiritual) freedom that you would gain. Sadly, the window in these forums through which such as I can speak with you is becoming narrower all the time - all must be in perfect Christian harmony so as better to peruse the ever increasing number of advertisements. |

It's been nice talking to you too, Bombila --- (if you're saying what I think you're saying).
