My pastor believes we will spend all eternity studying the King James Bible under the tutelage of Jesus Christ, and still never be able to comprehend It totally; which would require the attribute of omniscience, which only God possesses.
Oh -- what's your point?All of the empires I mention controlled a larger proportion of the human population than the British.
If you meant 'Sisyphean task' -- no.Is the whole existence in heaven one big Sisyphos task then?
The British Empire, chief -- the sun never sits on the British Empire.
Oh.But that was only true during a fairly short period in history during the 19th century.
Oh -- what's your point?
The British Empire at one time was the largest empire on the face of the earth.
Case closed, eh?
You can talk yourself out of understanding if you want, suit yourself; but I don't believe the Romans, Mongols or Chinese held the distinction of being the largest empire on the face of the earth at one time.Nope, case not closed, the British Empire was never larger than the Roman, Mongol, Chinese, in terms of proportion of the population of the earth that it ruled. It was only the largest in land area, that is all. English was never spoken by a majority of people on earth.

Seems to me that when dealing with men, one must work with errors. Errors help teach many people stuff. Errors were made by all men, even apostles, and all things work together for good anyhow.Apparently, the printers were not divinely inspired.

But the errors of men in this case apparently did not prevail. I don't see any version that says commit adultery.
I like the KJV and if I find out that some chapter had a bit of stuff added to it, like in Mark or something, I can live with that. Maybe they were inspired even in the compiling etc...

I think you mean "sets," buddy. Although I have to agree that the sun never sits on the British empire, either! LOL.
There really is no plausible reason to believe that they speak english in heaven, though. Wouldn't everyone simply understand everyone else, no matter the language they spoke?
Mamma mia --I think you mean "sets," buddy.
Ai yi yi -- I need to slow down and type, eh?Although I have to agree that the sun never sits on the British empire, either! LOL.
But you don't have a plausible reason they speak anything in Heaven, right?* so English is just a what? strawman?There really is no plausible reason to believe that they speak english in heaven, though.
Of course.Wouldn't everyone simply understand everyone else, no matter the language they spoke?
Wikipedia disagrees.No, it wasn't. Not in population, and not in area.
But you don't have a plausible reason they speak anything in Heaven, right?* so English is just a what? strawman?
Of course.
* Since, in your opinion, Heaven doesn't exist?
You guys keep bringing up 'population'.Looks like he was right percentage wise at least. But, the amazing thing about the British empire was the size of the British population. Great Britian was a tiny country with a relatively small population, yet look at the size of the empire they created. That is what is impressive to me.
