So long as we are respectful of others regardless of their religious affiliation.

Also, comments like this would be better served for PM's as opposed to being "public" about our feelings,that's why we have those options.

Peace.

What, I can't be *sweet*, too?

I saw earlier that someone said that the KJV and the NASB are at odds in their respective versions of Philippians 2:6. However, I can show through context involving Philippians 2:5-7 that this is not so.

KJV
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: - Philippians 2:5-7

NASB
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. - Philippians 2:5-7

When the KJV says Christ "thought it not robbery to be equal with God", it means that Christ knew that He was perfectly entitled to God's glory, but as you read verse 7, it is made clear that Christ sheds God's glory to become a servant to, and die for, men. The KJV is extremely stilted in its message, but in context, the same message is conveyed.

The NASB says Christ "did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped", meaning that Christ did not have to grab for God's glory because He already possessed it. BUT, once again, the message, in context, is that He shed His glory for to save men.

Of course, I DO advocate the NASB as a far superior translation. The point I wanted to make is that although the KJV often delivers its message in a stilted, round-about manner, it is not diametrically opposite to the superior translations.

*"smarty-pants" hat off*

Dear Filosofer, you made a very good point... Yes studying it all to learn more about God and His Word, is fine, but not apart from the Holy Spirit, as you put it well. Blessings, Gil (Lig75)
