KJV vs Other Versions

Thank you very much for the 3, 372 word post.

And you wondered why I said you reminded me of the song "The Ramblin' Man."

You could have just said:

"I agree with Dr. Dino's false teaching on KJV Onlyism."

And let it go at that.

We would have gotten your point.

The KJV Bible translators even said they would welcome more modern translations in the future. But don't tell the KJV-Onlyists that. They removed the Preface for a reason.

Good when he gets out, I hope he moves right next door to JackH :)
If Dr. Dino (Kent Hovind) moves next door when he gets out of prison, I am going to have to upgrade my security.

I don't know that I could stop a T. rex with my current arsenal.

I might need a tank.

How would you kill a T. rex?

I think DiscipleDave could talk one to death.

I do want to ask Dr. Dino if T. rex tastes like chicken.

you probably have one in the loft.

How would you kill a T. rex?
trip it up and strangle it.

I think DiscipleDave could talk one to death.
I can also think of someone else who would bombard it with questions.

a cross between chicken and rabbit

lol, are you suggesting that your evidence that he is guilty, is that the court said he was guilty and that he has been in prison for 8 years? Is that the evidence you want me to believe in order to believe that he is guilty? lol

Sure, i will use your same logic that you proved he was guilty.

He is innocent because he to this day after 8 years still claims he is innocent

People for 8 years all over the world say and teach he is innocent.

Therefore (according to your logic) he is innocent.

no you wouldn't. It is apparent he is guilty, and that is all there is to it, even if i showed evidence to prove that, it would not be enough to convince you. i don't say that to be mean, i only say that because it is True.
The only sense your post makes is nonsense.

Dr. Dino (Kent Hovind) is in federal prison because he was convicted on 48 felony counts.

One of his crimes was illegal structuring of cash transactions (aka smurfing). He withdrew close to half a million dollars in cash in increments under $10,000 so as to avoid scrutiny by the government. That is illegal. Dennis Hastert recently was indicted for the same thing. The reason why people do that is obvious, isn't it? Why did Hastert do it?

If you think Dr. Dino is innocent, do you have even a shred of evidence to support that?

No, of course you don't.

You are just running your mouth (or fingers) because you love to hear yourself talk.

In the Book of Genesis God clearly uses words that convey a 24 hour period.

Genesis 1:8 (NKJV)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

If you teach each day was not a 24 hour day and teach each day was a thousand years then you are teaching a heresy. Teaching heresies will keep you from inheriting the Kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21 (NKJV)
[SUP]19 [/SUP] Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
[SUP]20 [/SUP] idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
[SUP]21 [/SUP] envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.


You will not be allowed to inherit the Kingdom of God if you keep on doing the Works of the flesh. This is why I said those who teach a different Gospel will end up in the Lake of Fire.

Or is it imperfect man that interprets the literal 24 hour creative day?

Genesis 1:8 (NKJV)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
One can infer the human day night cycle of a 24 hour period, but you nor i know how long one of God's own creative days were, you like others assume a literal 24 hour human day night cycle.

If you teach each day was not a 24 hour day and teach each day was a thousand years then you are teaching a heresy. Teaching heresies will keep you from inheriting the Kingdom of God.
In YOUR opinion, all the best at being the Almighty Judge.

It sounds to me Kedge that you really do not know our Lord Jesus Christ.

Look up the words used by the Hebrews and you will see they are words used are for a 24 hour period.

Why do you Hate the Holy Spirit so much Kedge that you dare to call the Holy Spirit a liar?

Is it your Pride of Life that demands you and only you have the Truth? Even when what you teach is a lie?

This is pure arrogance. Scripture actually knows nothing of a 24 hour day. The ancients measured time by the sun and the moon. The first 'yom' occurred when there were no sun and moon, and it did not commence with an evening. Thus there is absolutely no reason why it should be a '24 hour day'. Thus it was whatever length God chose.

Give me one example from Scripture where evening and morning indicates a 24 hour period.

I have a question. Did they not have better Hebrew words todescribe a longer age? I thought the Hebrew language was pretty rich and precise.If they wanted to, could they have made it much more clear that it was ages orlong amounts of time. When I hear “yom could mean a day or longer amounts oftime”, I think well did they have a word that only meant “longer amounts oftime” or something that couldn’t be used to mean a single day? I am trulyignorant on this subject and this is an honest question. I just started Greek,Hebrew is on down the road, God willing.

If you translated the word for day in Greek with Yom...a "yom" is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a yom unto the Lord....The Lord could very well have used yom as a period of time.

I can get to know the Christ Jesus the Son of God.

Some say the hebrew yom can mean a Time period of unspecified length.

Why do you Hate the Holy Spirit so much Kedge that you dare to call the Holy Spirit a liar?
You infer that, and so that's your reasoning not mine.

Is it your Pride of Life that demands you and only you have the Truth? Even when what you teach is a lie?
Lol, i just want to get to know the truth as spoken by the Christ, of course we all have to rely on interpretations, hence the discrepancies within Christianity, ha!

I wasn't questioning if it could or not, and thanks for answering. I understand that it could, but our word day is the same way. What I'm asking is if they had a better word they could have used if trying to convey longer amounts of time, just if a better word exist in the Hebrew language to describe long amounts of time. Like if they were writing for the Hebrew layman, and were making it as clear as possible, would they have had a word that couldn't be mistaken to put in its place. That's how I meant the question. I do understand what you mean there, and I am not trying to argue that at all. I'm just asking if a more precise word exist in Hebrew for “long amounts of time”.

I think the whole 7 day principal and Christ being the true Sabbath was in mind from the start...so much typology from the Old to the New that it seems to make sense to me...Know what Im saying?

The meaning of the word 'yom' is only ever questioned in early Genesis. I wonder why that is? ;)

Well it used three different ways in early Genesis and it is used later in Genesis as representing years...

Sorry. What I meant was, people don't try to insert millions and billions of years or epochs into other parts of the Bible. The context of early Genesis gives an understanding of what is meant by the word 'yom' in each particular instance.

True but I don't think its completely out of the way to allow the possibility that God used this term to represent something beyond a normal 24 hour day...especially when we read a day to the Lord is as a thousand years and 1000 years as a day... But I allow that others would have it to be a literal 24 hour day...don't change my understanding either way.

The context of that Philippians(?) verse is talking about the majesty of God, that He's outside the boundaries of time and space (the created) because He is the Creator. The verse is also about how awesome it is to bathe in God's presence. It has nothing to do with the Creation week time period. Especially since it compares one thing to another. The key words are 'is like'. Context.
