hey dog my brother, well, if you dont want to be whisked away, im here to guarantee that you wont be. so now you can rest easy. just between you and me, hebrew and greek scholars diligently translated the bible. i believe in a strong god that would give us his real word in a book. he will use whom he will to do it. my god wouldnt keep his people in the dark. well friend, good luck with your god.
Sure it’s much easier giving a response like this, but perhaps it would be more helpful to do some research and give a half way respectful answer rather than just remarking that your God is not someone else’s because you believe different things… This response has no intentions of creating an educating discussion.
hey dog, you really put a lot of meaning behind 2 letters; RE…yeah, real big protestant conspiracy, or as you say, colonial aspirations. yep, that RE really did the trick
hey dog, you are one of the few people ive heard say that they want to be left behind. if god comes, i want him to grab me
Right, that’s why huge swaths of it are word-for-word exactly the same as the Douay Rhiems translation - except for those parts that (strangely enough) support the Protestant Monarchy.
God already did that a thousand years before King James was born - He used Pope Damasus, the Councils of Hippo, Carthage, and Rome, Pope Innocent I, and a priest named St. Jerome.
hey bro scot, that question seems hard to answer. but sit back and think. is god telling the truth about adam and eve? who were adam and eve? god said; let us make man in our image, in our likeness. adam and eve were the first humans and the first creations that were just like god. the angels, the arcangels, the beasts around the thrones, none of them are just like god. so whoever was on he earth befor us were not human. the bible say that we were created a little below the angels but are crowned with glory.no other creation under heaven is crowned with glory.anyway, you have to keep in mind that a day with god can be a thousand yrs. in the spirit world, a second with us is a million lifetimes with them. all of the drama that went on in the earth befor us could have happend in the blink of our eyes.if the KJ say replenish, its good enough for me. anyway, its just a historical oddity, not in anyway involved in our salvation.Dear johnpaul there have been many translation error found in the KJV over the years. It with other translations were the reason why the Church did not give permission for every one to put out a bible and forbid Catholics from owning and read many translation. they contained translation errors. Now think about this in the creation story man was to replenish that contradicts the Creation
story If Adam and Eve were the first then how could there have been others here before the now they have to replenish?
hey onegod, so, is that the reason the Church forbid people from having a bible, to protect us? that is just so kind of them. what thoughtfull and helpfull people. um, say onegod, just one more thing, why did the church torture and kill those who were found with a bible. help me out here, im a little unknowledgeable in these areas. thanksDear johnpaul there have been many translation error found in the KJV over the years.

hey SD, i was raised protestant but always liked going with my catholic friends to their church. it seemed more real. yep SD, the bible isnt always easy. let me tell you a secret about me. i skip the tough stuff in the bible, like judges and deuteronomy and numbers, and i just skim over acts and kings.
That explains why you can’t find the Catholic Church in the Bible. (It’s in the Book of Acts, in case you didn’t know that.)
Thanks for your honest answer:thumbsup:
hey JM , are you suggesting that jim jones was a christian, born again? jesus said ; ye must be born again to enter into the kingdom of heaven. so, someone somewhere must be born again, dont you think? second, im not right about anything. i profess christ and him crucified. ive always said; if you want to know something, look it up in the bible( KJV)So was Jim Jones - so was everyone in the whole world who claims to be Christian. What makes you right and him (and the rest of them) wrong? Are you special in some way?
say JM , the catholic church is in acts? well ill be. ill have to take a look.That explains why you can’t find the Catholic Church in the Bible. (It’s in the Book of Acts, in case you didn’t know that.)
well SD, at that time, i was a teen. i thought all the pagentry and smoke and bells and whistles were godly. the protestant services were boring to tears.
He said that he was.
Of course! And if you look at the whole context of the passage, you see that Jesus was referring to the Sacrament of Baptism.
I suspect that I’ve been a student of the Scriptures for longer than you’ve been alive.
hey JM, dont get me wrong, i really like you. we have a good dialouge. so dont get mad at this. its great to claim you study the bible. its better than reading harry potter. but there is one who knows the bible better than anyone. one who can quote it from top to bottom. you guess it…Satan. so, does knowing the bible get you anywhere? its not getting the devil anywhere.jesus always said; the devils believe, and trembleHe said that he was.

Of course! :yup:
hey JM, i was directed to catholic.org to learn about catholicism. cause i didnt know much but what i saw my friends go thru, catchism, confimation. plus i hear things from people. i get directed to websites. some things i find out are ridiculous.the vatican has these canons. they have all sorts of beliefs in these different treaties and what have you. just millions of pages of stuff. the average joe in the pews kows nothing of these things. ill bet you dont know whats in them either. its all there for anyone to read, but no one really does. the average catholic goes to church, prays to his god, drops a dime in the basket and goes home, completely unaware of all the canons and what not. then i heard of this infalabiliy of the pope and infalabiliy of the writings of bishops and popes and what have you. so, the average catholic church goer believes that. ok, go to church, stand, sit, drop the dime and go home. but they arent aware of how falable the popes are and how absurd some of the writings are. just like i was taught george washington can not tell a lie. it was in college that i learned he was a falable human like me. does this make my position clearer?Of course! :yup:
Which is why we need to be of the same mind as the Apostles, (Philippians 2:2) which is the mind of the Catholic Church (Acts 15).
We can’t just read the Bible by ourselves and expect to understand it all on our own, because what we think is the Holy Spirit could in fact, as you rightly point out, be Satan.
Hi johnpaul,
