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.

Mamma mia ...
Anyways, I don't think you know enough to judge which bible version is best.

So can you be respectful and not trash other versions of scripture just because you don't happen to like them?

I promise I won't "trash other versions of scripture just because I don't like them."
How's that?

I believe he is hinting at trashing the other versions for other reasons not mentioned.

Which I am fine with, if he can give valid reasons to judge something I am cool with that, just don't disregard crap because you happen not to like it.

So, are you also saying that all of the KJV, including the Old Testament, is applicable to modern day?
Also, isn't the reason you say science is flawed is because it depends on new information? The only way for the bible not to be flawed, according to your own reasoning, is if the KJV were the only version to ever have existed.

Yes.
And before you respond, know and understand that many things that happened in the Old Testament should stay in the Old Testament, but was written ...
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Knowing dispensation theology, covenant theology, or testament theology helps.

Is that the site that makes fun of those who believe that Jesus walked on water, there was a global flood, virgin birth, resurrection, Earth created in six solar days, etc.?

But he had Genesis 1-25, written in English, and translated it into Hebrew.

No, that is the site that makes fun of EXTREMELY unusual beliefs. The have a great deal of material that covers quotes that are off off Broadway. Stuff that only a very small handful of people believe.
Jesus and the holy Bible are mainstream. They are understood and respected. Most of the quotes there are not biblical, but extreme extractions or additions to mainstream interpretation of reality (including the Bible).
It is kind of like that show, kids say the darnest things.
Some of the things written just don't seem to make sense. Make one wonder where the person learned that..

Where did you learn this, and why do you state it as fact?
Usually people have some evidence or backing to state such major historical events as fact.
