It is a simple fact that those who love Christ the most, holding him in high esteem, and reverentially worship and serve him, are those who are most passionate about his word, desiring above all things that his word is maintained accurate, both in the original Hebrew and Greek copies, and in the translations into different languages of the world. To have even one word removed is hurtful to such, and can be classed as theft, a devilish work.

To stifle debate in the Christian forum is a sad thing to do. I have learned a great deal about Bible and theology through debate. One thing which debate has brought to me is to learn where I myself stand on many issues which I previously never thought deeply about.

I know, I know many people love the KJV with all its words which must be defined in 21th century English words to be correctly understood.

So? Why don't those who love the KJV just go ahead and give people a KJV corrected into the English words we use today for the sake of giving people the most accurate translation they can.

Instead of insisting people use English that is honestly out of date in numerous places?

My cat's a Christian, I admit it! I even baptized him myself! I've preached the Gospel to him and he's been converted from his sins. I would not be willing to have a pet that wasn't a believer. Hope I don't get into any trouble over this!

Sorry, Wayfare, but you're simply wrong. The Greek in verse 18 is (transliterated as best I can, I haven't looked at how to transliterate for over a year) monogeneis theos, not monogeneis huios. The former is what is in the text, meaning only begotten God, or more accurately, the unique God.

The term son is there as a textual variation, and it's in the minority of manuscripts. It's much more likely theos is the intended word.

The Authorized Version gets it right every time.

Thanks, and congratualtions on being married 31 more years than myself. My wife and I got married in 2004. She's originally from Indonesia, and I met her at a Christian dating service.

We were both in our early 40s when we tied the knot (first time for each of us), so there's hope--even in the sinful and confusing times we presently live--to eventually get one's life sorted-out & find a mate. With God's help.

Proverbs 19:14

Congratulations to you as well!

We live in a day/age/culture where there is so much cool stuff to do and aquire that more basic, traditional persuits like marriage and family are often put on the back burner or not even engaged in at all.

I remember as a kid looking forward to having a wife and children, and providing for them; but by jr. high school it was apparent that women were being trained to be INDEPENDENT. Some of my male classmates even took home economics classes while some of my female classmates took wood-shop and metal-shop classes.

From that point on co-eds seemed like other "men" to me with greatly diminished desire for me, and me for them.

All this "progressive" education and child-rearing evidently swelled the pride and self-esteem of the previous generation ("greatest generation"?) but was VERY confusing and disheartening to me.

Still is.

I did not deny that Paul made a specific application to the High Priest. What I was pointing out was that Exodus 22.28 has a wider application than just the high priest.

By limiting the principle, Lurker has approved the practice, which he himself exemplified:

I have downloaded the VLC media player and still cannot play any audio or videos. Any help will be appreciated. Dave

I don't know if this will help but I had to search for the MP4 files and open them through the VLC program itself. It does not automatically find and open MP4 files, so the default is still Windows Media Player, which will not play the audio. I hope to find a solution to this extra step...

Ahem,
I know you will probably ignore this or make light of it or ridicule it,like you've done to others.However,I will attempt to ascertain from you why you always find it necessary to act so much above everyone else on these threads?
You seem to have a serious problem with getting along well with others.Why do you always take the low road,is it because the higher road is too difficult for you to travel?
You can well blow this off as nothing but some nobody,well beneath you,asking impertinent questions.Perhaps though,it may do you good to consider this seriously.

Absolutely not. All you do is click on the PLAY button and the video will play with the popup video player. This should make playing videos much easier.
