Astrophysics: what is / was the firmament made out of?

[AV1611VET]

Of course they did. But the Snake no doubt spoke French and the Angel with the flaming sword probably spoke German.

Yup -- you guys make your jokes.

We'll keep explain everything.

If this is true, then you're certainly not looking at a copy that Adam wrote, as the Egyptians didn't exist at the time.

Funny thing about that, we know that the Egyptians existed. Adam apparently was a myth.

 

[HasturX]

So?

Why didn't they write 'metal plate' then? or whatever it was supposed to be?

Where the King James Bible differs from the Masoretic Text, the Masoretic Text is wrong.

Oh your one of those book worshipers.

 

[juvenissun]

Oh your one of those book worshipers.

If you care to explain, what is wrong with a Book worshiper?
You are not a book worshiper. You do not worship any book. Why not?

Jesus didn't think so -- (or was He a myth too)?

 

[AV1611VET]

Oh your one of those book worshipers.

It's called KJVO -- those who don't know any better call it 'worship'.

I usually overlook the perjorative term as a matter of considering the source.

If you care to explain, what is wrong with a Book worshiper?
You are not a book worshiper. You do not worship any book. Why not?

It only seems like we're worshipping the Book because they change their books with the weather.

Amazing what a copyright can do, eh?

So you think copyrights are bad?

 

[HasturX]

Nothing is wrong with a person who worships a book if that's their choice. I was under the impression that he worshiped his god and not a book.

We all make mistakes.

You are worshiping a book because you have chosen that THIS is the one true book.

Let me ask you a question, if you had an original copy of all of the text of the bible and you found that they were different than your KJV which would you stick with?

By the same token, do I worship my wife? my mom? my dad? my car?

I do have a copy, albeit a digitally-remastered one; and no, It is not different.

And if it was, I would stick with the KJV, as It is the Standard for judging all others.

What if he thinks that the Book is written by his God? Does it make any difference?

dont ya love people who always try to play socrates?

 

[HasturX]

I dunno do you devote your live to their teachings?

 

[HasturX]

What if he thinks that the Book is written by his God? Does it make any difference?

You would think he'd worship the god and not the thing written by the god.

God wrote the King James Bible? And here I thought all along that it was written by 47 scholars appointed by King James with specific instructions to "guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its beliefs about an ordained clergy"

Authorized King James Version - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What a surprise to find that God actually wrote it Himself.

If so, how should he treat the words written by God?
Obey? How is that different from worship?

I said "assume". What you said is a different concern. We are talking about Book worshiping.
