Great, so if someone starts a cult that gets offended by you consuming oxygen, what will you do?

...2) Try my best not to be offended

Why?

That I agree. I come here at times in search for a drink of water, sometimes it is pretty scarce. But what I end up mostly receiving is a good laugh, but unfortunately at times at the expense of others. This is the most "unique site" I have ever encountered.

Praise Him!!!

Psalm 15 with emphasis on Psalm 15:2-3. Negative form as opposed to the positive form from Jesus, but nonetheless says much about doing no evil - one of my favorite verses:

The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;

What does that have to do with demanding a concession before considering doing something?

Didymus, not trying to sound like a jerk here, but how come it matters to you that he uses a different translation than the KJV?

Perhaps benignity, the way God draws men to Himself. I had that in mind when sharing one of my favorite Psalm in relation to your post.

Praise Him!!!

Probably because in his sickular studies he's discovered the KJV Bible to be the best out there.

I think we can all agree that the NIV is the worst.

The KKJV isn't a bad option either. Have one in my house for us Slants, however, it has been ever since I exercised the use of its language. Anyone here can read it and attest to its accuracy?

You're English is pretty good, why don't you just read the English version?

I have no idea what the doodling is all about. If that's the entire Bible in one of the slant languages, I'm pretty confident that it's not accurate.

Forum standards, mostly. If you're going to discuss something like the Bible, you have to determine what exactly is under discussion. Allowing different Bible translations just opens the door to "but my Bible says something totally different...", and that wouldn't serve any purpose save offending those who are looking to be offended.

Having done some investigation on my own into the matter, I believe the King James is (overall) the most accurate translation available. This is a subject beyond the remit of this forum (or my willingness to voluminously rehash several years of reading from many different sources), so if you're curious, I encourage you to check into it yourself. Wikipedia is a good place to start.

I would be interested in these sources as well (for rebuking purposes) but Wikipedia? I can't believe you put stock in that as a "resource".

That's why I tried (and failed, I guess) to specify it as a place to start. Any information gleaned from there must be checked and cross-referenced (though the new rules they brought in a while ago have noticeably decreased the incidence of "vandalism" editing, at least).

I am only referring to legitimate offenses, if people get offended by my simply stating my political views, I don't consider that to be a legitimate offense.

So people are only allowed to be offended by things that you consider to be legitimately offensive? How is this not another example of you attempting to force your own (baseless) morality on others?

...If more people were like this, then I think we would have less turmoil in this world. I still think there should be proper punishment, but it shouldn't be rooted in vengeance.

More people were like what? Proper punishment for what?

So "legitimate offenses" is things you feel are offensive. I find that offensive

Well we already have lots of people out there who think the world should be run at their own convenience. How's that working out?

Now if we ran the World according to God's rules as laid out in the KJV1611 Bible, there would be no question as to what is offensive and what isn't.

What are you on about, numpty?

Your views are of absolutely no significance to us.

As true Believers we Live by the Word of God, who are you to question that?
