• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The 'Macro-Micro' thing....again..

I don't have one.
I do though.

And for the record, it's from software I purchased about 15 years ago from an evangelist.

CF used to have Bible tags.

I wish they would bring them back.

If faith depends on the possession of a certain version of the Bible you have more problems than I do.
What other versions are there?

As one wag put it, when asked if the KJB was the best version for today:

"No. It is the only version."

As far as I know, there are at least 500 if you count English + other languages.

I don't count.

Ok, don't. As far as I know there are at least 500 in multiple languages. Do Christians in other countries lack faith because they cannot read the English KJV (err. the only) version?

Are you talking about the King James Bible in Spanish? or French? or Swahili?

It's still the King James Bible.

We have One in English.

It might sound like a silly question AV but what is the English for 'bungalow' and 'bicycle'?
My answer might sound silly, but would it be "bungalow" and "bicycle"?

Yeah, those words aren't different in the U.S. dialect than they are in the British dialect.

Although, just out of curiosity, what would a British person call chips? Potato crisps? Because I know they call French fries chips, but I don't know what they call what people in the U.S. would consider a chip.

What's your point?

That the English language has fallen victim to entropy since the days of King James?

I'll agree.

And I can think of a much better example than "chips."

What used to be called a "babe in the womb" is now called a "fetus".

-_- that isn't a regional dialect difference though.

We have One in English.

The King James in other languages is as much of a King James as the NIV is in English. Much like there were 1000 ways to translate the original languages into 1600's English, there are 1000 ways to translate 1600's English into Spanish.

Species is not defined by a black and white line but more of a large gray area. If this is the best you got then macroevolution is in serious trouble.

They observed divergence between species. That is macroevolution by definition. If denial is all you have, what is the point in discussing the facts?

I suppose the same reason we argue with people that will never accept those facts.
