[trying to explain why early bible fragments don't match the KJV]

I'm not too keen on the Sinaiticus's accuracy (or the Codex Vaticanus, or the dead sea scrolls for that matter).

It maybe one of the oldest bible texts, but it resembles more of a first draft than anything due to all the insertions and omissions. It doesn't even agree with other scripts that are considered very old (and even those other scripts don't agree with each other).

The only reason I think there are occasional pieces are found else where is because they needed the scrap parchment. [...]

Why isn't there any super old texts of the bible that closely match today's King James bible or the Textus Receptus (which there is not longer a copy of)?
It is said either the Textus Receptus was lost, or never was a single document, but rather a consensus of trusted translated scripts which consisted of the majority of texts found with very little variation minus any printing errors that may have occured as printing was a new technology (which is about 95% of old texts avalaible).
Even so, if the original was really lost, we shouldn't despair, as the copies or related texts are essentially the same due to the copying method. The oldest text is not needed for validation of the bible.

The problem is, people and some bible scholars don't recognize this, so they take the oldest script they can possibly find, fill in the missing places with other scripts to formulate their new translations of the bible or use it to prove the bible's validity, but get stuck when people say the old version isn't the same as newer scripts or evidence for X religion is still much older.

Why do these old erroneous scripts still exist? Why are they more likely to be kept? For the same illogical reasoning above. They don't realize the power in the copying method used. So when they come across something "different" they try to preserve it, whether it be hiding it in a library hundreds of years ago, or archeologists and librarians finding it now.
The only thing the Codex Sinaiticus proves is that bible did exist back then.

I know the atheist communist states all murdered people of faith and continue to persecute them to this day.

Atheist states have committed atrocities against their own people in a far greater proportion than any other state. The Stalin genocide in the Ukraine killed far more than Hitler was able to do.

Calling Christians violent is simply not true. you might point to a few historical instances, but you can't paint the faith as violent overall.

This sounds like atheist propaganda. Are you an atheist? Are you a Christian?
What brought you to this board?

All, I have a terrible problem. I just started a new church and now I'm confronted with a big problem. One of the small group leaders is a woman I know from my neighborhood. She has been a member of this church for a long time and heads up a couple ministries. She is apparently one of those that works hard all the time for the church and is well thought of. Unfortunantly I know that she is gay. She has a lover that stays over at her house often, and I've personally seen unacceptable and disgusting behavior. It's pretty common knowledge in the neighborhood that these two women are lovers. How it is that her church doesn't know I can't imagine. She must be very discreet. Anyway, what in the world should I do? I don't want to gossep and I certainly don't want to be responsible for decention in the church. Do I tell the pastor? Tell her that I know? Send and anonamous message to the pastor? Somehow I don't think I'd be very popular for disclosing this, it's a hard place for a new member. Should I just quietly find a new church? I really liked this place, the message was wonderful and the people so loving. What should I do?

(In reference to Obama's address to school children; something most presidents do at some point in their presidency)


Actually this is one of the ways Hitler gained so much power. He brainwashed the youth and pretty soon he had his loyal followers everywhere as the kids grew up.

This fits right in with the worry that the "shadow government" of czars Obama is building will be able to take control of the whole country before the 2012 elections. He is having ACORN take over the census. That will give him the power to use his goons to skew the redistricting in his favor. He is doing so many things to consolidate his power that if he is not stopped soon he will soon be unstoppable.

But will he, in this internet savvy age, be able to pull it off. Will the states themselves secede or overthrow the government? There are signs that over half of the states are already getting ready to go head to head with the federal government if it becomes neccessary.

But however it works out do remember that it is all a part of God's perfect plan; we just may not like it but we won't be able to change it if it is what God wills.

In all seriousness though, it seems that Obama will be trading the CIA in for his brown shirts. They wont be questioning Muslim terrorists, but they will start gathering Christians and other "right wing extremists" to question them. He has to make up groups that he controls, because he can't have any that answer to someone else. It's just like all these czars he's making that only answer to him. He wants absolute control.

Sometimes when my atheist friend and I would be watching television, a commercial for one of those ghost hunting shows would come on. Now I know that the things that go bump in the night arent deceased people but that they are actually demonic activity so I know that most of those shows feature real supernatural activity but the people seeking after it just have no idea of how serious it really is But anyway my atheist friend would always laugh and scoff at those shows and in my head I would always think Man! I wish a demon would come in here and throw some plates or something right in front of his face so then at least he would know that there is more to this world than meets the eye and than I could lead him to Christ much easier!

[Re King James Bible. Shadow Girl: I can barely read that version. Plus my grandmother told me that it was written by King James because he wanted a divorce from his wife but the Pope wouldn't grant it.]


You're thinking about the NKJV. This is the one that was commissioned by the king that wanted a divorce I believe. I think it was one of the King Henry's. Crazy kook either got the divorces he wanted or arranged the death and/or imprisonment of his wives so he could re-marry at will. The KJV is the original copy written and translated by Shakespeare, from the ancient greek and hebrew manuscripts. If not this, he may have translated it from an even earlier english translation (which was then translated from the original greek and hebrew) when english barely resembled what it is today. It's one of these two events. This is why it's considered the most accurate, a direct english translation from the originals and the standard for today despite being a relic from the 1300-1500's where fancy poetic language was the common english of those times.

At least, this is my understanding of where that notion came from. I might be wrong.

They don't need death panels to accomplish this. They can deny service or put you on a "waiting list" indefinitely, essentially signing your death certificate.

Here is my problem:

I have a fairly new job. I thought it would be great; but now not so certain.

My current manager is a nice person and if I "worked" directly for him it would be fine. However, the structure at work is different. I have to work directly for a woman. Well, I will be blunt. This woman is a "man"; if you know what I mean. She is trying to be a man in every respect. I can handle different life styles; but She is a control freak, and tries to act sooo much like a man that she is overbearing and needs to "chill out". As a Christian, I have difficulty working so close in this type of situation. I have been in the work place for 30+ years and have never been in this type of situation before. How should I handle it. Should I start looking for another job. I would talk with my direct manager about the difficulties I am experiencing but not sure of the relationships yet and so forth as I am fairly new to this place of work.

What directions can any Christian out there give to me??? Help. Anything would be much appreciated.

As things pp nito my mind and seem like they're relevant, I feel urged to share them. One thing has become clear to me. I always heard about how Christian persecution would become more and more widespread during the last days. But I never really saw it starting to happen. I know we hear of it here and there these days, but it's not all over the place like we have heard it would be. But...consider this: My son showed me something the other day on youtube. I am at work righ tnow and youtube is a blocked site so I can't give the link. ANd I can't remember exactly what he typed in the searchbar, but it was like "demographics problem" or something like that. It defintely had the word "demographics" in it. Anyway, it was a little video saying that for any race or culture to sustain existance, each family must reproduce at a certain rate or eventually face extinction. It showed that the Christian "culture" wasn't producing enough for us to last. But also that the Muslim culture was prodicing more than enough. So much so that by, and I forget the year but I think it was like 2025, the Muslims would be the large majority all ove the world!!! Now you can see how it would indeed fit right into what the Bible says about widespread Christian persecution. It was very scary and eye opening!

meshee #fundie rr-bb.com

My husband was brought up in a devout Christian home, but somewhere in his teens, he decided to rebel and got heavily into the occult and witchcraft. He got to the point
of status of Warlock in a local coven, casting spells, etc. One night he was sitting in his room alone evoking spirits when he realized that something came in with considerable power. The room turned ice cold, a horrible smell of sulfur filled the room, and he saw a very large manifested being. While this was something that he normally would be accepting of, he felt a great sense of evil that he never had before. He actually got scared, so he turned immediately to his witches bible to see what could be done to get rid of this thing.
(Stay with me now, this is where it gets exciting!!!!)
As he opened the book, it led him to somewhere near the end, and it told him that there were several options he could use, however in this case, the only option that would really work with this sort of thing was to "Quote scripture from the Holy Bible" and it actually gave verses to recite. My husband doesn't remember the verses, he knows that the presence left, and from that moment on, from that encounter, God changed him. My husband, of course, shares this testimony much better than me, but for awhile he sat there and contemplated. If a book which promises so much power and control, has to ultimately use the Bible to thwart off itself, then where does the real power lie, only with God Himself!

The Sickening Facts About Obamacare

#1) A National Health identification card will be issued to all Americans.

#2) You can keep your current doctor IF the government medical boards allow it.

#3) You can keep your current insurance IF your insurance company does not go out of business because they can't compete with the new government-backed alternative.

#4) Virtually everywhere you find nationalized health care around the world, you find very substantial health care rationing. It will be the same under Obamacare.

#5) Just like in the U.K. and Canada, government bureaucrats will decide who gets care and who doesn't, and therefore they will often decide who lives and who dies.

#6) If the government does allow you to get care, in order to control costs government bureaucrats (and not your doctor) will decide what treatment you will get for your condition. If they decide the treatment you need is not "cost-efficient" then you are sore out of luck.

#7) The bureaucracy required to run Obamacare will be a nightmare of unprecednted magnitude and it will quickly send federal deficits into the stratosphere.

#8) Obamacare will FORCE Americans to get health insurance. If you do not get health insurance you will be subjected to extremely heavy fines.

#9) It has been confirmed that elective abortion will be covered for all Americans. Because this is what health care is all about now - eugenics.

America has the BEST healthcare in the WORLD!

People travel to the USA (from their socialized healthcare countries where they cannot get treatment) from all over the world to be treated here, because we are the BEST!

[ . . . ]

No one on the planet has the RIGHT to free medicine or healthcare. Universal healthcare is not a right.

Healthcare is a RESPONSIBILITY.

Each individual and family bears the responsibility of healthcare for themselves, where in a free market they can pick and choose from among competing providers for the benefits and payments that best suit their individual needs, and where they have personal choice and authority over their own health and healthcare. No government panel decides what meds they can or cannot have - or whether their lives are "worth" the dollars spent to treat them.

When liberals try to turn a personal responsibility into a universal right, we end up with SOCIALISM.

I cannot say where or with whom I spoke with. I don't want to cause this person problems. I will say my husband and I spoke with an elected official. He is a christian. He said, "off the record" that the democrats and some republicans in government are trying to make our country like Europe and the rest of the world. That Obama's agenda is definitely to make us like France. That the rest of the world thinks that America's way of living is too prosperous. We are so much more advanced, and we consume more than all of the rest of the world, that they are trying to bring us down to their level, instead of helping the rest to come up. They don't like capitalism, so they are actively seeking to destroy and restructure our country from the way it is. All the stuff that seems like it's being done on purpose, is. I know that none of this is new to people here, but it was so strange to hear someone who knows, in person actually talking about the things we are guessing at here on the boards. I just wanted to share this with you all. He also said he sees great tribulation and upheaval coming to us because so many here (I mean in our country) are against it, and the government knows we are. He kinda hinted at more, but it seemed like speculation so I won't repeat it. This is the information that he was adamant about.

Our church practices courtship and this is how we do it:

Prior to 18 the girls and boys are NEVER alone together. They do everything in group activities... group means 7 or more.. not an even number for pairing off and there must be an adult present as chaperone.

At 18, if two people are interested in each other, they stand before the congregation and announce their intention to court. The whole body is responsible for keeping them accountable. They can now go out alone but the girls parents must okay each session. No later than 6 months later, they must either begin a 6 months counseling session for premarriage or they must separate (no harm, no foul). After the 6 months if they so desire, they may marry at any time provided the pastor who does all the counseling and the two sets of parents agree and give their blessing.

Our girls and boys have a 99% rate for total purity at marriage... meaning their first kiss was at the alter. We have a next to 0 divorce rate and the kids totally buy into this, they are not being forced.

[The American Psychology Association declared that mental health professionals should no longer tell their gay clients they can become straight]

There is a gay lifestyle that is "chosen" and it appears there may be conditions that are congenital. I've often pondered the reason God commanded death for homosexuals in the Bible, and it was likely for the protection of society due to a condition that was difficult to eliminate once it took hold. Many gays have hundreds of partners and the psychological and physical damage that can do is staggering.

Funny, isn't it? If this was a plague, the doctors and research scientists would be scrambling to find a cure or vaccine and issuing precautions to the public. But instead, they ignore this plague and try to help homosexuals to continue to live with this plague and spread it to others.

I've often wondered if a "cure" was discovered for homosexuality, would the gays take it? No! They enjoy their sin and will kill anyone who gets in their way.

Hitler was a type of Anti-Christ.

So is Obama IMHO. NOT THE AC....but someone that we can see quite plainly as a man who the blind will follow quite easily. Watching the masses cheer him on and faint and practically bow to him was a shock to me. I saw through him immediately (long before the election) as I know many others did. But Obama's speeches and promises and appeal to the masses is eerily similar to what Hitler enjoyed.

And trust me - Hitler didn't come out with his evil plans from the starting gate. It took years for his 'true' intentions to come forth. As IMHO - we are seeing with Obama.

I think that men like Hitler and Obama are examples of just how easily the masses can and will be swayed by one man. The true evil in their intent comes later - when it is too late and the indoctrination has been fully in place. The AC will come out as a man of peace and the world will embrace him, only to find out his evil intentions years later........when he is in full power and practically unstoppable.

(Waiting4Jesus bought a "Jesus Freak" T-shirt)

Okay, then I went into a McDonald's and that's when it dawned on me just how SUPERB an "evangelizing tool" this t-shirt is, particularly for the faint-of-heart, shy crowd. As I was walking out the door after my meal, some woman sitting in a booth said. "Ooooh, so you're a Jesus Freak, huh?" I grinned broadly and said, "Yes."

Then I guess the Holy Spirit took hold of my tongue because COMPLETELY w/o warning, didn't even KNOW I was gonna say it beforehand, I just said, "Do you know that Jesus is coming back very soon?"

And we struck up a brief conversation. It was brief because I was "preaching to the choir," she said she already KNEW Jesus is coming soon.

I was soooooooo encouraged by this!!! It was just as easy as pie! The t-shirt "speaks" FOR you, so that others will approach YOU instead of YOU approaching them.

For all you shy folks, I urge you to get one!!!!!!!! It's amazing! The time is short and we need to spread the word!! I got mine at Books-a-Million but I am sure there are many places online where you could get one, if interested.

I came home feeling totally exhilarated that I had the guts to tell someone He is coming (instead of just plastering SIGNS everywhere & on my car, LOL). It felt incredibly good, intoxicating even, for speaking out to be THAT EASY & NATURAL.

What, pray tell, does MARY have to do with CHRISTmas??? They may as well just change the name to "MARYMAS"

God didn't "allow" the Holocaust...

God knew it would happen, but MAN went THROUGH with the Holocaust. Man has choice..God ultimately knew mans "decision" when it came to the Holocaust - but man didn't. Man made the choice...

Just think of how many people died, was involved in, persecuted, etc.. it was a horrible thing...each person has their own story. Something to learn - maybe it haunted those who did the tormenting and made them fall to their knees in remorse, maybe it brought families closer, maybe it strengthened the bonds of those who were sentenced to die... regardless, it was a terrible, terrible, thing...but man made the choice...man carried out the choice...but God was there listening to the thoughts, prayers, etc..of those who were calling out to Him.

We weren't "made" for this world..yes, we all have attachments, etc to it, but ultimately, we have life experiences - to learn, grow, etc.

I'm NOT saying the Holocaust was a lesson to "learn," BUT think...if your life was on the line like that...or if YOU were the one with the responsibility of carrying out a "death sentence" for women, children, families, men, etc...

How would that change you? Would you be closer to God knowing your life/life of your family was on the line...would you be remorseful if you knew you were responsible with carrying out "orders" to tear apart families, kill children, etc...?

It's hard to think about, but true.

It happened.

God didn't "allow" it. Man DID.
