    And this moderator does and will swiftly move to action should the KJV be attacked.

    I wonder if those who persist in the KJV usage of p*** use the same word in every day conversation. If not, why not? Should our speech, to the best of our ability, not mirror God's speech?

    now, now, u're not wearing your respectable g*y clothing this morning, are u (James 2:3)?

    most of us living in this wicked n perverse society have arisen n wiped the slumber from our eyes in regard to the KJB's lingo.

    but some keep wearing the same clothes n hitting the snooze button.

    Maybe because you don't go around saying," This really urinates me off" and "Dung happens"

    At least one Other member sees why the Hebrew makes use of the phrase to indicate the view of the ones as dogs while everyone else is in a tizzie

    So, let me get this straight... to say the KJV should have used a harsher word than "dung" in Philippians 3:8 is an attack on the KJV, but to say the NIV should have used a harsher word than "rubbish", it's not an attack on the NIV?

    Do YOU? Or, do ya use the other words?

    I NOW say, "That makes me ANGRY" and "What the hey?" or similar. I was once a sailor, and I can tellya that "cuss like a sailor" is NOT just a figura speech. the only sailors I was ever around that could out-cuss us were the BRITISH, with the Diggers(Aussies) right behind.

    To me, cussing was the hardest-to-break habit I ever had. (I was never a drinker nor tobacco user.) It's a pretty insidious habit that can be a handicap in obtaining employment, etc. It took GOD'S POWER to end it in me.

    But you're getting off the topic, HG. Some words that were 'proper English' 400 years ago no longer are. That's the opinion of SOCIETY, not any one person, so even if YOU see nothing wrong with a given word, you should take your audience into account before ya use it, lest you cause another to "stumble". I gave you the example of "bloody", a quite-proper word in American English, but quite offensive to most British & Australians. Thus, I try to avoid using that word at all on a public Internet board or any other public communication.

    actually, as is plain for all to see, any misuse or insinuation is on the part of the respondent. the context (James 2) was provided. and in spite of that, someone who purportedly lives in a 1611 world could jump to rather postmodern conclusions.

    but the point's been proven concerning the 1611 King's Lingo. and it was ironic to see, with a well-placed allusion to the KJB's own words, this KJBOist getting all bent outta shape n attacking the KJB's language.

    Certainly, if the occasion comes up. On the other hand I don't have a habit of casually conversing about such bodily functions. I seldom use the word.

    Urine is urine, dung is dung, he that pisseth against the wall is likened to a dog, and no matter how perverse some people get God's word will stand. Rubbish is sometimes sorted through and good can be found,yet dung in its present state has no value. Amazing the extent so many go to attacking and maligning the word of God. Sad, truly sad : (

    I guess you've never gardened before, huh?

    Or ask my bunny what he thinks of his dung. Did you know that rabbits EAT their dung to get all of the nutrients they need to?

    Not all dung is bad. :wavey:

    I use manure. Rabbits are rabbits but the passages are speaking of human dung as useless.
