Not really, John, U.K., it's in Elizabethan English, if a modern reader wants to peruse the AV, He should first read a good modern version of the Bible like the NIV, NKJV, (even an RSV of the '70's) and of course, [URL=http://www.lockman.org/nasb/]]]The New American Standard Bible[/URL]. I had done that, and I picked up the AV, and said I understand that, and of course tossed it aside again. No, you at least need a James Strong Concordance to understand the AV, because of the [URL=http://www.bible.ca/b-kjv-only.htm#archaic]]]Archaic Language of the KJV: 419 examples![/URL]

Garbage. Converter boxes can be purchased for just 30 bucks - even without Bush's socialist subsidy.
New 19" HDTV's can be had for as little as $130 on Amazon etc, as little as old Cathode Ray Tube sets used to cost.
Existing antennas work just as well for digital as for analog.
Technically, digital signals generally require LESS power to meet the same geographical distribution as analog signals.
Simple ignorance would be the reason a few lost their TV service in 2009. It is sad, but some simply have no friends and family to help them through the simple set up.
As the NYT notes, the main reason for decline is people switching to internet based services. Same with phone landlines. Obsolete, not needed anymore.

Why stop there? Why not say that Adulterers, fornicators, lairs, and cheats do the same?

To understand the AV? Yes, plus the Oxford Dictionary or at least a James Strong's concordance.

Ask anyone who has studied the KJV all their life if they have any problems with it due to language. That minor difficulty is easily overcome by one who loves God and his word, and who believes the Bible they hold in their hand IS the infallible and inerrant word of the Living God. And if the New Testament was still only available to read in greek, I would make the effort to learn greek as fast as I could. And that's one difference between a disciple and an impostor.

"WHEREAS, Christians in the American society today are faced with difficult decisions about abortion; and
WHEREAS, Some advocate that there be no abortion legislation, thus making the decision a purely private matter between a woman and her doctor; and
WHEREAS, Others advocate no legal abortion, or would permit abortion only if the life of the mother is threatened;
Therefore, be it RESOLVED, that this Convention express the belief that society has a responsibility to affirm through the laws of the state a high view of the sanctity of human life, including fetal life, in order to protect those who cannot protect themselves; and
"Be it further RESOLVED, That we call upon Southern Baptists to work for legislation that will allow the possibility of abortion under such conditions as rape, incest, clear evidence of severe fetal deformity, and carefully ascertained evidence of the likelihood of damage to the emotional, mental, and physical health of the mother."
With this line of reasoning even by the SBC, it's no wonder Roe Vs. Wade was handed-down and now a U.S. Citizen is killed every two minutes.
Christ have mercy upon us.

Appearently, these people pay no attention to books like Jude where even Michael did not bring a railing accusation. Yet today's name it and claim it crowd thinks that they are more powerful. Not to mention, they have their focus wrong. I remember hearing a word of faith preacher tell people that the first thing they should do in the morning is to shout "devil; I'm comming for you today."

It's dissapointing that preaching has taken a backseat to everyting these days. But to have preaching contests? To look for the most talented? What does Paul say? But God has chosen the foolish things of this world.....God had chosen the weak things,the base things.....that no flesh should glory.

Saved at 17 in a Fundamental Baptist church; gave me a great foundation. However; they would have Preachung Contest, and the winner would get a cash prize. The would have never let me preach. My sermon would be a Rebuke to such Carnal nonsense.

This group had taken it even further. They freely admit they are using the Worldy American Idol as a motif.

If you ask the question: As long as it creates the desired result (interest in preaching)doesn't that make the means alright? Simply put NO! The ends do not justify the means. Moses struck the rock, but the people drank. Was Moses of the hook? No.

p.s. I think your tone rather patronising towards those born more than six hundred years ago. Modern man does not know more now than then, rather he knows less. Check it out!

I've have never known of a sodomite to truly repent and be saved. Have you?

Bad enough that he was involved in this coalition to begin with. He withdrew because his Constituency opposed support of Islam.

Sounds like Land wants to be a Politician. Let's just see where the wind blows.
