This thread is mainly in response to comments made elsewhere, by another member, @Silverhair, who has questioned my knowledge, as others have done, on the original languages, and my assertion, that no Bible Versions is without it faults, and therefore are not completely reliable in every place.

Psalm 2:12
C : Pay homage to the son
N : Kiss his son
Lit : kiss.

2:12
C : All who take refuge in him are happy
N : Blessed are all who take refuge in him

The word 'happy' seems Namby-Pamby.

4:4
C : Be angry
N : Tremble
Footnote : tremble

7:9
C : examines the thoughts and emotions
N : probes minds and hearts
The CSB rendering sounds rather...

THE GRACE AND DUTY OF BEING SPIRITUALLY MINDED DECLARED AND PRACTICALLY IMPROVED.
To be spiritually minded is life and peace. — Romans 8:6
Set your affection on things...

I absolutely agree with this. This is what I have been saying, repeatedly, over several threads:

"I have demonstrated before that all spiritual truth which God has revealed is contained in the Scriptures, and that our true wisdom is based upon spiritual understanding of these Biblical truths. It will, therefore, be granted on all hands that diligent reading of the Scriptures and holy meditation upon them, is of absolute necessity for all aspirants to theology. Sadly, although a good deal...

Public apology, and easing of hair standards for homeschoolers' graduation ceremony from 'A Beka Academy', follows racism accusation from dreadlocked teen's mom:

Abeka Academy released this statement

"Abeka Academy apologizes for the insensitive rule of 'no dreadlocks' in the dress and hair guidelines for our optional homeschool graduation. As a provider of materials and services for homeschool families worldwide, this does not reflect our desire to respect and serve the broad diversity...

Jesus said that everyone who believes in Him has everlasting life. How much about Him must we know to have everlasting life? And is this the right seriotology, or must we follow the Romans road?

Jesus Christ The αρχη of The Creation

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the beginning of the Creation of God” (Revelation 3:14)
