NO DEBATING. Teens-4-Christ is not a 'debate' site. You will not change our minds, do not try. A quick read of Romans 1 will show that those who debate are in the company of adulterers, sodomites and murderers. Therefore, debating will not be allowed.

lol!
This place should be a goldmine of ignorance :)
That's some scary stuff Huffers.
Debaters, murderers, and adulterers, yeah, pretty much seems all the same to me!
I was actually captain of my adultering murderers team in high school.
You obviously know nothing of Christian history or any history for that matter if you hold the King James Version to be infallible. The KJV is a translation, much like a french dubbed version of Star Wars. Try telling me that a french or a chinese version of star wars is the definitive version with a straight face.
Also, where did all these fascist little punks come from? In the 80's and 90's, smug brats like this would have been laughed out of the high schools, and would likely have their asses kicked on a regular basis.
Besides, who wants to be a square as a teenager? Being a teenager is a time for paying some college guy to give you liquor and weed, then go smoke and drink behind the principal's house, while fucking his daughter. Being a teenager is a time for setting abandoned houses on fire and wrapping your car around trees several times, while on the way to some abandoned factory for an illegal rock concert, with a large doobie in your hand, after spray painting the mayor's cat various flourescent colors. Being a teenager is the time in your life when you should be shoplifting your favorite album from Hot Topic, as well as 5 or 6 t-shirts; maybe even shoplifting some jewelry for your girlfriend. Being a teenager is also a great time for launching firecrackers at the houses of local politicians, especially the ones who create bullshit laws designed to imprison and oppress youth, right after a rigorous day of drag racing with stolen cars.
Set your spiderman comics and your bible on fire, and allow yourself to go free (just don't burn the Lobo Comics!). If your'e going to be a boring square now, just imagine how much more boring you will be as an adult.

I think the english dub of "Snake in Eagle's Shadow" is the definitive version -- the poor translation and bizarre choice of voice actors actually added to the film :P
Also, in some ways the chinese version of Star Wars is more interesting than the original.
And I've heard it said that the German translation of "Reaper Man" by Terry Pratchett is better than the original (not sure about this one, though).
Because a translation is based on the original version, therefore at best, it can only be as good as the original, much like a photocopied piece of paper can only be as good as the original at the very best, but in actuality is usually worse.
With translations, certain parts of the message are lost, especially with more complex translations. Certain concepts simply do not translate between languages and cultures well. But since you like giving me a hard time, I bet that you are going to find 300 ways to string together some argument as to why I am wrong.
Examples of translations that improved on the original: Shrek and Shrek 2, in Spanish. Mostly because the straight-lazed humour of the English versions to pass US "censorship" of public opinion was very relaxed in the Spanish version.
Of course, since the Bible is theoretically perfect God-inspired in the original, you cannot improve on it. And things like 616 changing into 666 means that KJV has changed, and the only change from eprfection can only be for the worse.
Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf -- true, but they could believe the committees who translated the KJV were divinely inspired, and that they corrected the typos in the original manuscripts. Surely no crazier than believing the originals were divinely inspired.
I think I need to learn how to stop randomly picking arguments ;-)
of course.. I'm now begging the question "if there were typos in the (divinely inspired) original, couldn't there be some in the (divinely inspired) translation?"
but I'm sure that they could claim there weren't typos in the original, and both were divinely guided and perfect - just that the older one can be ignored when talking in english, because the kjv is the perfect english translation of it.
And when mistranslations are pointed out, they could just say "you're wrong".
/great now I'm arguing against myself
To the Fundie - You and your site is a drisgrace to the internet, opressing your members, sticking your fingers in your ears and banning people who offer different opinions and different views is a sure fire way to create the board with the lowest member count on the internet.
mad dog - you better not have been serious when you posted that.
Guess what? im 16, turning 17, and im apparently the prime age for all those "activities" that you suggested. and i do NONE of them.
does this mean that im a boring person? taht im doomed to being "square" for all my life?
:/

Wow, and I thought debate was just intellectually stimulating.
And be more specific, what is "what you believe", because, as Orwell would say, some animals are more equals than others, and you´re keen on saying, well, I don´t agree with them, but.......

Yes, I was totally serious, Crembels. :roll: There is also this bridge in Brooklyn I would like to sell you. I can get you a good price.
@Huffers
Sorry about giving you a hard time - I'm only doing it because you don't post crap and I thought I'd take a challenge in disagreeing with you.
Well, now I'm flattered. Since your'e from England, I almost thought you were part of some Anglo-Conspiracy set up by Julian to get revenge on me for talking shit about Britain.

The word "debate" has changed meaning since 1611, when the KJV was written. In the KJV, "debate" meant something much stronger than what it means today. The RSV translates it as "strife".
It's not a good idea to rely too much on the KJV without actually knowing the Elizabethan meaning of words.
Hey, check out this one from their rules...
"It is not good message board etiquette to copy a personal post of another member and paste it on another message board without permission. This practice will not be tolerated if discovered and will likely result in the banning of anyone doing it. This does not include non-original material."
It's the Anti-FSTDT Rule!!! We got our own rule!!!
I have the urge to sign up for this site, just so I can be a troll and say things like: "Ass fucking a goat is totally christian!", "Setting Wal-Mart on fire is totally Christian", "sniffing crack cocaine from a hookers ass is totally christian" or "playing practical jokes that involve several gallons of maple syrup, 200 live pigs hijacked from a farm and a southern baptist church are definitely christian"
What is this? 1984? the Thought Police are on the rise? I'm sure the Ministry of Truth will be very happy.
EDIT: Ah, damn you Archangel_Lucifer for beating me to it...that sounds weird when you say it out loud.
Can we use the 1631 reprint of the King James Version, by Barker and Lucas, By Appointment His Majesties Printers?
It is hard to get hard copies these days, but there should be a scan on the net.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
