Correction - this is why I can't have nice things. You are quite correct, Chalnoth. My apologies. All these years of my delving into religion have apparently rusted my neglected understanding of basic physics. I used an online calculator to be sure that my algebra wouldn't sway my...

Quoting Chalnoth's response to AV1611VET: "Wiccan_Child already answered this, but I thought I'd provide a more quantitative answer since I do like this particular problem (which often appears in physics classes). To get a handle on this problem, I'll make three simplifying assumptions: 1...

Would you be willing to give up your drivers' license?

razeontherock - thanks again for your responses! Do you work nights, too? : ) Yes, biblegateway has quite an extensive list - the only versions that blueletterbible has that biblegateway doesn't have are: New King James Revised Standard Version Webster's Bible Hebrew Names Version I do like...

Faulty - it's currently 3:37 am where I'm at, so the site may just be doing maintenance, but I couldn't access the link, or notjustanotherbook itself. Thank you for the word for word/thought for thought advice, though.

zaksmummy - Thank you, I may end up going with that eventually. Right now the computer I have gets pretty boggy - do you think an eight year old system could handle it without locking up? I saw a few screenshots of it, and it actually looks like it's laid out pretty well.

eachallberg - That's a given, but If I were to rely on an English translation is there one that you would recommend?

CryptoLutheran - Thank you for the concise history lesson. : ) I'd heard of the Byzantine and Alexandrian sources before, but never the Western and Caesarean ones. Thank you again for the help.

drich0150 - It's more like dumping 20 different puzzles of the same scene onto 20 different tables and deciding which completed image is a truer representation of the original. Some may have a more cartoonish feel, some may have a more pencil-drawn feel, but the one that's as close to a...

razeontherock - thank you for your explanations. If I had to pick one, would you agree that a concept for concept translation would be better than a word for word translation, or are the concepts themselves more prone to adjustment by the translator's ethnocentrism? I usually use...

BFine - could you tell me why the 1995 NASB is considered to be more accurate?

Helenm12 - I've seen the amplified bible, and the bracketed words just seemed like paraphrasing. Are these the actual hebrew meanings within the brackets?

How does one sever an ungodly soul tie?

Autumnleaf - couldn't the jezebel spirit simply drown the swine and be free to repossess someone else?

Following the law requiring marriage licensing won't do anything to break your religion's laws. On a side note, if you are expected to treat others as you expect to be treated, then you are breaking one of God's commands every time you make use of something that was made by someone from a...

All you can do is confront her about it. When she walks out, confront her about it later. Sure, she may just ignore you and continue as she has. She may have things in her past that influence her to behave this way. Either way, by not confronting it with her, there's even less of a chance...

Thank you for the advice, cmjames84. I'll look around in there.

I am interested in finding out what would be considered to be the most accurate translation of the bible. I've searched the polls section, and all I found was a poll asking for people's favorite translation, which turned out to be the kjv. Is there any translation that can be recommended as...
