Yes, I was raised with the KJV; but that's not the reason I'm KJVO.I suspect that this is because you were raised with the KJV bible... were you?
Thank you ... I appreciate you looking it up for me.
Yes ... I'm familiar with what he did.
Yes there is a difference ... a major difference.
The gender has been removed.
Paul is identifying Nymphas by gender, as well as name; since some names, like "Chris," are gender-free.
If I asked you to visit Terry's house, and there were two Terrys in town, one male and one female, you would need further clarification.
But if I asked you to visit Terry's house and tell him 'hello' for me, you would know which Terry I'm talking about.
Without even looking, my advice is to go with the 5th edition.
As Gail Riplinger so aptly put it: God created a Diamond in 1611, and then polished It five times to a high gloss.
So, the 1611 version can have a completely opposite meaning from the 1769, and there's no problem, but VS leaves out a gender which was ambiguous in the first place, and that's a no go?
Don't bother answering. I've seen all I need to.
Speak of flipping a coin, translator, how do you para ... er ... translate John 5:4?Considering Jesus' emphasis on TRUTH, it is shocking that someone would advocate that I should arbitrarily select a gender that I can't be sure about (or flip a coin?) rather than honestly PRESERVE the ambiguity of the Greek text.

You couldn't pay me to translate it.How do YOU translate it and why?
Then I must ask, "Who's god?" Not mine. My God gave me a personal letter that says He created everything in six days and rested on the seventh. My God tells me that He made man on the fifth day of all creation, not after billions of years or after millions of years of evolution. My God says He made man in His image and in His likeness, not in the image of a unicellular organism then multi then fishy then amphibians then reptiles then mammal then.....
So I would ask you, "Who's god did it the way you suggest?" It most certainly is not the God of the Jews or the God of Christians or even the god of the Muslims.
The Bible is the claim, the map is the evidence. There is no way water could have risen to even 1,000 feet anywhere in the area because it would run off. A localized flood is not possible. The Bible states that the ark came to rest in the mountains of Ararat, which comparitively speaking is not too far to drift in a year. HOWEVER, a local flood should have carried the ark southward, to the sea. That it drifted northward would indicate that there was no natural current. The planet was flooded.
Yes, it is the ever popular, always-traditional, "If you disagree with me about what the Bible says, it doesn't matter because God is on my side!"
And Good Brother, if you can't find the sabbatical year and Jubilee year passages of the Torah Law, I've told you before: get yourself a Bible concordance OR simply learn to use the Google search engine. You always want me to do your Bible tutoring for you. I realize that these concepts are new to you but trust me: type "sabbath year" or "sabbatical year" or "Jubilee year" together with the word "Bible" into Google and you will have enough tutoring material to keep you off the streets for many many YOMs!
(And if you ever get to the point where you are open to learning about the Bible, research how both ancient and modern Hebrews define a 24hour day. No, it is not evening through morning. It runs from sunset to sunset!)
Tradition may be comforting to you. But eventually you should investigate what the Bible actually states in the Hebrew text. Even if you are afraid to venture into other Hebrew language literature of ancient times, the TANAKH itself (that is, the Old Testament in Hebrew) uses the word YOM for meanings besides 24-hour day.) Yes, shaking loose from tradition can be scarey---especially when you are likely to be shunned by your peers. But which is more important: peer acceptance or what God's Bible actually says?
You were doing so good until the last bit. There's no evidence that the entire planet was flooded as a hyper-literalist interpretation of Genesis 11 would have one believe. Conversely there's literally mountains of evidence supporting conventional geology, biology and anthropology.
No, they were made by God.So the errors and inconsistency's in the bible were due man.
I'm sure you can think of better man-made errors.Thanks for making that clear and demonstrating that throughout the history of written scripture that errors were made by man.
As far as I'm concerned, the 5th edition is the final edition.When are the current errors going to be fixed,
That contradicts the doctrine of immanent return.... another 2 or 3 thousand years?
Hi Rick. Am I correct in believing you are a geologist or at least have some training in that field? I thought you and I talked about that once. If I am correct in that thinking I have an honest question or two for you.If I may add as well, the idea that God removed all the evidence is contradictory to scripture which states that God put a Bow (rainbow) in the sky to remind everyone of the flood.
Also, KW and GB need to be reminded that the field of geology grew out of the physical search by 17th & 18th century naturalists and "clergy" to find evidence of the flood. If a fully global flood had occurred, the geological evidence would be there and God would want us to see it.
Don't forget ... just like the creation week you deny ... He also recorded what He did, when He did it, where He did it, why He did it, what order He did it in, how long it took Him to do it, when it started, when it finished, and who the eyewitnesses were.If I may add as well, the idea that God removed all the evidence is contradictory to scripture which states that God put a Bow (rainbow) in the sky to remind everyone of the flood.

These questions are all answered in Genesis 1 and 2:In much of the Bible, including most certainly the "creation week" account, God did NOT record the what, when, where, why, how long it took him to do it, when it started and finished----and even the chronological order is not necessarily recorded.
For example, Genesis 1 says NOTHING about WHY the universe was created. It doesn't say WHEN. It doesn't describe the WHAT of the processes utilized.
Of course, we don't expect Genesis 1 to provide those details because it is not a scientific document. It is a theological document intended to emphasize the WHO of "creation week", that is, GOD as CREATOR.

WHEN: In the beginning.

Where are all the fossils that have been made without liquified sediment burying them? That is to ask: "How many fossils were made without the aid of water loosening and liquifying the earthen material to cover them so they could be preserved?"
Are there any ancient fossils that were made without the aid of water laden sediment?
Again, thank you for your time to read this and for your response. I know we may not agree, but I respect you in that you have never tried to belittle or berate those who disagree with you.
God bless you.
In Christ, GB
