Nehemiah said nut case. I tried to soften it and say perceived to be nut cases. I do not believe that most KJV only is are literally mentally ill, but the interpretation is not particularly rational. The idea that God preserving his word means that one English translation has to be inspired...

My impression is that KJV onlyist is a fringe movement with a typical viewpoint that is perceived as 'nut-case' by non-KJV-onlyists. Your viewpoint seems to me to be on the fringe of KJV-onlyism. If you believe the original manuscripts are the word of God and the KJV is the best translation...

I don't think you understand, or property else represent KJV-onlyism. You have your own version of it. I was just in a long thread discussing the theory that God 'preserved His word' uniquely in an English translation. The manuscripts still exist in Hebrew and Greek. Why would an English...

No to all of them. I'd put porn sales at the top of the no way list of those jobs, and maybe gay bar second, from a theological perspective, and probably put gay bar at the top of the no way list from a personal perspective. I wouldn't want to be a bartender, but if people just came and drank...

One of the arguments for KJV onlyism is supposedly that God can't preserve His word in a body of manuscripts, but there has to be just one... and not only that... a translation into English. One of the problems with that argument is that in the centuries leading up to 1600's, the Bible is in...

You aren't referring to the prostitution question are you?

I think the answer is obvious. A Christian shouldn't be a hit man, prostitute, stripper, etc. Some jobs may be an issue of conscience-- what about a convenience store that sells hard liquor? Whiskey drinkers could take a sip. It's a lot harder stuff than they drank in the first century, but...

Hebrew was written originally without the vowels put in. In the 300s AD, some Jews put in some vowel pointings to preserve their pronunciation tradition. In some places it does not conform well with Christian tradition and departs from the well-used Greek translation of the Old Testament, for...

In my early 20's, there was a girl I met at a prayer meeting who was really pretty, and I felt connected to her, like I could feel her emotions, and stuff like that. Soon after I met her, I'd gotten something like a fuzzy word of knowledge about her, and she confessed some stuff that indicated...

The lot falls in the lap, but the decision is from the Lord. The Old Testament indicates that marrying a virgin is both desirable and to be expected (in most cases.) The New Testament even speaks of marrying virgins. It is not strange for a Christian man who wants to marry to seek to marry...

I suspect you do not really interpret scripture to way your post seems to imply you interpret it. Even Christ is not a priest after the order of Aaron, but rather a priest after the order of Melchizedek. A white Gentile out in Alabama... or whevever... isn't a Levitical priest either. I am...

What? Where did I say anything about forcing romance on two singles? If a young single man asks a young single girl to 'hang out', these days, it __might be__ a date... depending on how he asks her. Usually 'hang out' keeps in vague, which might be a soft way of getting her to agree to an...

@Nehemiah6 I went to church for a little while to a church in Indonesia, where some individuals IMO, overemphasized dress and in a wrong. The deacons even had matching clothing made out of the same cloth for taking up the diaconate offering once a month or however often it was. Those who...

Are you are talking a thrift store? If not, where can I get the $25 new blazers, and do they look decent? Where are the $18 slacks, and are they new? Do they look like they cost $18. The Bible does not teach a particular standard of dressing up for church. Jews weren't supposed to wear...

Again, it's okay for men and women to be friends, but there are certain social contexts in which social interactions may be perceived as 'a date', and a single man who invites a woman to these types of social interactions, leading her to believe it is a date could be stringing her along if he...

If I went out with a male co-worker, I wouldn't call it a 'date', and chances are, whether he is a virgin or not wouldn't come up either. If I went out with a group of friends, I wouldn't call that a 'date.' But when I was single, asking a single woman to have lunch or dinner with me could...

I hadn't thought of this as an issue of anger. One doesn't want to waste one's own time, but dating also involves the time and emotional energy of other people. I haven't read any Jane Austen novels, and I just read whatever amount of Dickens was required for high school, but I saw the movie...

Being asked to sit in the back? Does that happen now? James 2 asks readers if you tell the rich man with fine clothes and a gold ring to sit in a good place but tell the poor man in vile cliches to stand there or sit under your footstool aren't you become respecters of persons and judges with...

I was in a Bible study overseas, and a single white southern fellow there was attracted to a single Nigerian woman. During some kitchen prep before the Bible study, which involved a recipe that contained olive oil, he asked her if she were olive oil would she be extra virgin or dark and...
