Matt 5:10-12(a) "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; Persecution, as has been noted, is not the same thing as punishment. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us that persecution because we love God/Jesus and obey His commands actually is a blessing with great reward. |

2 | What is wrong with Paganism? | John 14:6 | katallasso | 49063 | ||
LostandnotFound is right. Romans 1 talks about men who exchange the glory of the true God for am image of a created thing. The first of the ten commandments says "You shall have no other gods before me." Rather than exalting the creation, remember the words of David in Psalm Ps 24:1 The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it. NASU |

3 | Original language of King James bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | katallasso | 17696 | ||
King James did not translate the bible actually; he authorized the translation (as opposed to executing those daring to translate the Bible into English, which happened to earlier translators), which was done by a group of scholars of the day. The British crown publisher was the only printer to publish the KJV for the first 100 years of its existence. The KJV New Testament was translated from a printed Greek text that found its origins in the work of the scholar Erasmus. The text is called the Textus Receptus, and was considered the best Greek New Testament available in the early 1600's. I'm not as familiar with the Old Testament, but it was translated from primarily from a Hebrew text and a Greek version of the Old Testament called the Septuagint (70, for the number of translators) Textual differences that exist between the KJV and modern translations like the NASB are due to the fact that the TR follows the "Byzantine" text-type, while modern texts draw from several difference text-type. Some feel that modern translations, because they follow these different text-types, are tampering or corrupting God's word. This is refered to as "King James Onlyism." James R. White, the reformed scholar, has a book title "The King James Only Controversy" that goes into great detail. In the interest of fairness, there is also a great deal published representing the various forms of the KJV only position. One example is "Why I Believe the King James Version is the Word of God" by Peter Ruckman. |
