Ludvan - I've got better things to do than read extraneous cut and paste books. Your repeat of it doesn't help my attitude.

Has this exchange qualified you to cut a notch in your Bible Belt?

quote: A. You think the King James Version is "weird"? B. You don't recognize or employ the King James Version? C. Which "errors"? Which "erroneous claims"? Please specify. D. Your criticism of the authors' scholarship and mastery of English might better be spent on yourself. Several times in one paragraph you refer to a singular subject by means of a plural pronoun. Example:
quote: Regarding your attempt at further insult ...
quote: ... why do I doubt you know the meaning of this word (oxymoron)?

quote: Whom do you think writes those scholarly articles? Bible scholars, of course! Wake up and smell the burning flesh. Bible scholars do not always agree among themselves.
quote: How will that help? Bible Colleges are necessarily biased. Their priority is to affirm of their own sectarian prejudice.
quote: This does nothing for your argument but does show that you excell at nitpicking.

Thank you for your response.
quote: Historical "record" depends entirely upon the recorder. And it can be misrepresented, embellished, or denied.
quote: A. I am well aware of what Bible College does. By "discongruity from the norm" I assume you mean the ChristianNorm? B."Plainly stated" is in the mind of the reader. Six hundred different denominations of Christianity can't all be reading it the same. C. Rewriting the Bible is a favorite Christian pastime. It is called 'creating a new version.'
quote: What I would appreciate is you arguing your own belief from your own reason. Assume that I have no inclination to respect your authorities but will listen to your own personal convictions. I will also accept scriptural arguments, assuming that you have reviewed a number of alternative translations, checked them against the ancient languages, and offer knowledgable rationale regarding why you accept and/or reject a particular point of view. I do not reject the occasional brief quote (with attribution) but I am likely to ignore your cut-and-paste epistles. In short, I am here to discuss with you, not with your favorite authors.
quote: I neither accept nor reject the opinion of anyone out-of-hand. And, I think this discussion of Isaiah is peripheral to the real issue of whether biblical statements can be taken at face value. db ------------------Bachelor of Arts - Loma Linda University Major - Biology; Minor - Religion Anatomy and Physiology - LLU School of Medicine Embryology - La Sierra University Biblical languages - Pacific Union College Bible doctrines - Walla Walla College
