• 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.

  • 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.

Don't you know exactly what I'm asking?

If not, where does your lack of understanding come from?

The truth is, Satan wouldn't let Mr. Young write his God-given name, would he?
How do you know that name was God given?
Hmmm, this is interesting. My bro Young doesn't even use the word "satan" in his Bible version, but rather uses the words it symbolizes.

Psalm 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

Do you have any idea how long that would take, given the number of stars? Even if we just went with the ones visible from earth, just counting them alone (assuming somehow one would not lose track) would be ridiculous.

Sure, but we don't name each and every single one. If only the number of stars were told, that would be different, but your line said all of them were also called by name.

I used that verse to make the point that God gave names to each and every angel.

They didn't name themselves, and we didn't name them.

And typically we don't name ourselves either, our parents do. What exactly is spectacular about that?

What is spectacular is the fact that Lucifer chose not to allow Mr. Young to use his given name in the YLT.

I don't know what YLT stands for.

And not to be a grammar Nazi, but chose, not choose. Gosh, you are getting beat up by words today.

Young's Literal Translation.

Have you followed the conversation?

Steve referred to the KJV as a "perversion," and I showed that this "perversion" is the only Bible I know of that exposes Satan's given name.

His YLT does not.

That's one reason I'm proud to be a KJVO.

Mamma mia!

I need to take a break or something, eh?

Interesting how you will take scripture completely unrelated to a question and present it as if it was.
Oh, so God, Who has the very hairs of our heads numbered, somehow can't name the stars/angels, because there are too many of them?

Apparently not. It's almost as if he's a made up character. Hmmm.

That scripture had nothing to do with science of any kind.
Well, if you want a science verse ... how's this?

1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

God apparently is OCD if it feels the need to count every single hair on every head. Or bored beyond comprehension.

And referencing a version other than the KJV, cited by nearly all scholarly theologians to have numerous errors of translation and context, let's look at another translation.

1 Timothy 6:20

English Standard Version (ESV)

20 O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,”


Even looking at the KJV text, it is more than obvious that it is not talking about anything having to do with what we know as science today in the least.



For a literalist, you sure use a lot of no literal assumptions to back those literal ones.
