  • 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.

Evolution False? Absolute proof inside.

I wonder where our kids learn to bully & ridicule, don't you?

Maybe they learn it from us, eh?

Well, you know what they say about payback, AV.

So then what does it matter what language he spoke?
It doesn't matter what you believe. But when you try to convince people you might be right and yet claim someone spoke Jacobean English 5,500 years before the language developed, you shoot your argument in both feet. Especially when you claim such a thing without scientific OR Scriptural support.

It's more fun to ridicule a person, than it is to respect what he believes; isn't it?
Some beliefs aren't worthy of respect.

What else would they speak in New Jersey?

Like Scriptural support means something to you guys, eh?

And for the record, I justified it with the Scriptures.

In fact, I called it "Elizabethan English" and was corrected to "Jacobean English".

As a Christian, Scriptural support for beliefs means a lot to me.

Can you give a link to that justification?

He doesn't have any. He never will have any. Its based on the idea that there was a special, unique, utterly unattested to, divine revelation to the giant committee that was suffering under intense political pressures and explicit orders to make *sure* the version of the Bible that they created would support the Church of England's structure. And so that is how the KJV came into existence.

The KJV is a lovely bit of flowery language, but its the product of political manipulation for desired outcomes. That people have come up with the idea that its the utterly correct infallible version of the Bible is well, disturbing.

English was spoken in China, therefore Adam & Eve spoke English. So are you saying China was the garden of Eden and Noah spoke English as well, but lived in New Jersey. :confused:
I am sure the message would have been given to him by arch angel Balonie and he has it written on gold tablets (which he cant find). I believe for his services he has been promised celestial wives. Isn't that right AV?

There is a copy of the KJV in Heaven.

I suspect this because of:

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

God is saying His word will be purified seven times.

Those "purifications" are:

  1. AV350 Gothic
  2. AV700 Anglo-Saxon
  3. AV1389 Wycliffe
  4. AV1526 Tyndale
  5. AV1568 Bishop's
  6. AV1587 Geneva - (God's choice for the Pilgrims)
  7. AV1611 King James
Since the AV1611 is the last purification, we are to expect no more.

Revelation 20:12a And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened:

I believe these "books" are the 66 books of the KJV.

Since there is One in Heaven, I would assume It is neither 1-6 above, but the last One, the 1611.

1. Moses writes it down
2. Hebrew scrolls
3. Original New Testament
4. Codex Alexandrius
5. Codex Sinaiticus
6. Codex Vaticanus
7. Latin Vulgate

So the Latin Vulgate is the true translation?

Well, thank you for the additional information. But I was looking for a more direct answer. According to your interpretation of certain scriptures, you hold the view that:

The garden of Eden was in China
Noah lived in New Jersey where he built the Ark
Adam, Eve and Noah all spoke English.

Is that correct?
