Pretty much, once I got older and was going to church to run the sound system I brought up to the mens fellowship that the precious King James Bible was a third translation from the original English Bible.

That was a hit.......

By the way, IPorange, I did follow your link to that Evolution List blog post and found it very interesting and challenging. :hi:

I suppose the commenter on there that goes by JoeG summed up similar thoughts as mine here and here.

It is amazing how many people get angry because their 3rd edition was a translation for the masses so they could understand the bible in english they could understand.

Funny how this works..........

It is quite sad actually, take a Holman Bible for example. In the KJV and other tranlations the river or great river means the Euphrates........... The Holman actually puts the name of the river in the translation..... heaven forbib...... or the sea of reeds instead of the red sea...

i'm going to go out on a limb and assume he wasn't baptized 2000 years ago, so christ probably wasn't available.

My point was that it begins with an acceptance of Christ as Lord of one's life. Repentance and baptism without that are fairly meaningless, unless that repentance leads to a recognition for the need for Christ's atonement and that baptism follows the acceptance of Christ as a sign of obedience to Him.

I'm partial to American things, so I usually reach for my New American Standard. :good!:

The Holman is actually my 2nd favorite translation currently.

But where you truly ready or where you doing it please someone else? I refer you to the parable of the sower here.

Kind of circular logic. I thought I was ready. My parents and preacher thought I was. Also, you just finished telling me about how I had to have milk before meat, how I had to have the holy spirit guide me and teach me and couldn't just come to true understand on my own... It's kind of having it both ways. I wasn't ready or serious, but it doesn't matter how serious or ready I was because it takes the holy spirit...?

You see what I am saying?
