  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You have no idea what a KJVO is; do you?

When the men who actually wrote the Bible down in their own handwriting; those were called the AUTOGRAPHS.

Over time, the autographs decayed away; but they were meticulously copied into what is called the ORIGINALS.

Over time, the originals decayed, but they too were copied into more ORIGINALS.

Over time, sects appeared that didn't quite believe this or that, and they copied the originals into their own set of ORIGINALS.

So when you see in a Bible's foot notes, or marginal notes, or center-column references things like:

  • A better manuscript says...
  • The originals say...
  • A newer manuscript says...
... don't believe it.


The common people wouldn't touch these fake originals with a ten-foot pole.


That's why scholars find them, they were never used.

And yet from what we know about Codex Sinaiticus one of these so called Alexandrian Perverted Manuscripts, it was in use since about the 4th C and there really isn't any validity to Tischendorf's claims of having found it in the trash can.

Incidentally, I checked that verse on a hunch that you were wrong and it didn't ring true;
Where'd you check it from? Wrong's Concordance?

While you're checking, how about checking the name of the body of water that Moses crossed, or if the Tabernacle in the Wilderness was made of porpoise skin, or the lovely gender-bending Colossians 4:15.

Or have you already?

You say that like it is a bad thing. :(
Um ... my two posts on I WANT TO BELIEVE and THEOLOGICAL NONCOGNIVIST were taken directly from his avatar and user title.

I'm just using them against him, that's all.

For your information, God placed Egypt -- called in the Scriptures the "iron furnace" and referred in Bible typology as a type of the world -- off-limits to the Old Testament saints.

It's the Antiochan school that matters.

From what I understand, every single Bible version out today, with the exception of the KJV, comes from the corrupt Classical Greek and the Alexandrian texts.

By contrast, the Masoretic Text and the Textus Receptus were used by the KJV writers as reference tools.

Hardly - I looked up the Greek text and that was all I needed, actually being able to read it and having a reasonable command of vocabulary. I knew it better from πολλός which is a fairly common ancient Greek word and didn't have to look it up. It's called receiving an education in the subject.

The name of the body of water Moses supposedly crossed would be written in Hebrew. Not my speciality. Not sure what you're pointing to with the rest of your post, apart from away from the repeated demonstrations of how little of this you actually really know. You might have to live down the "I don't like Hebrew or Greek" for a while, and saying that you think quoting other languages is a little silly when you were the first person to resort to a Latin phrase just made you look odd.

Though I suppose the speed Googling you're doing is probably good if you remember it, so keep it up.

There's a saying - when in a hole, stop digging.

Where'd you check it from? Wrong's Concordance?

And yet they were a part of the world that Tertullian accounts woke up to find that they were Arian heretics, now the incredible theologian and apologist of who it was said was against the world who wrote around the time of the Arian controversy, remind me again who it was and what Bishopric he held.

Well no, there's the NKJV which uses the same originals that the KJV translators did

By contrast, the Masoretic Text and the Textus Receptus were used by the KJV writers as reference tools.
Reference tools as opposed to the thing which they were translating?

You know what the Textus Receptus is but didn't understand the reference to 1550? Now you're just being dishonest.

Using someones purposeful humor, satire or irony against them is not very effective.

I am a creationist, and I say that the best evidence for Creationism is no evidence.

If there is no evidence -- yet we are here -- then that speaks of creatio ex nihilo.
You sound just like a professional creationist.
Is your maxim BS baffles brains? or perhaps, When we have no evidence we can say what we like with impunity.

Well, we should always be able to say what we like with impunity - freedom of speech and all that.
