Thank God that he Loves everybody maybe that is one word in the English language that will never change. I see that this question has given way to many answers and comments by a lot of knowledgeable people. Seems like the translators are all attempting to make things easier for everyone to understand, which is fine, however sometimes can be more confusing. When children are taught one thing by their parents and another by sunday school teachers and come home after church and say your bible is wrong mama that's not whatmy teacher's says don't you think all of this will be confusing to them. They aren'tas knowlegeable as our english majors or college grads or our translators. Most of them believe what they are told. Do we tell them just pick out which one you want to read, or do we teach them to understand what they read. My 8 year old daughter tries to read along at church and has told me several times that's not what my bible says.I have tried to explain that there are many different versions to her but she still doesn't understand why. When you can't read along how do you know what the teacher or preacher or other individual is telling you is true. Easier for a adult than a child. God bless you all hope I haven't stirred up too much controversy over this I just feel like everyone should be on a level playing field and taught the same. |

3 | child made during adultry | John 3:16 | Md1234 | 166723 | ||
Sam, Jesus loves you. He will forgive you for the things you do. I'm not saying that we should live like the devil and then ask God to forgive us everyday and do these things again tomorrow. I am saying noone is perfect and God knows that while we are in these fleshly bodies we never will be, but he expects us to do the best we can. When you were a child at home your parents didn't just throw you away because you made a mistake they tried to help show you how not to do this again. (At least they were supposed to I know there are some parents out there that are in real trouble themselves.) If you just keep trusting God and seeking wisdom and ask for his help overcoming your addictions you will succeed. He won't take them away from you you have to give them up yourself but he will help you with the process and it is a process. You didn't become addicted overnight and you may not stop overnight. Souknds like your pastor is leading you in the right direction. Just know that your christian brothers and sisters will help you as much as possible your christian friend , Md1234 |

4 | Saved by belief or belief and baptism? | NT general Archive 1 | Md1234 | 166721 | ||
I feel that people in today's society as a whole want to do things their way.The Bible and religion in general isn't taken seriously. I believe if Jesus told his desciples to go out and preach this to the world it was for a reason. All these people who do not think that Baptism is necessary should ask why Jesus himself set the example before us when he was baptised of John or why he told Peter to preach this message. If Jesus would die on the cross for us why do people complain about what he asks us to do for him? Md1234 |

6 | Why so many Bibles? | Bible general Archive 3 | Md1234 | 166715 | ||
I understand that a person is free to choose what they read and if it is a matter of understanding what they are reading I would understand that, However I have read parts of scriptures from different versions of the Bible not to criticize any of them and the same scripture when read didn't even have the same meaning. Wouldn't that be even more confusing, especially for the young christian who never had the opportunity to be taught differently. Who is right and who is wrong is not for me to be the Judge but God is not the author of confusion.I could understand changing languages because people in different countries don't speak the same but I can't understand so many different versions being printed in the same language. Jesus didn't speak in several different terminologies did he? | ||||||

I do not have a problem with other versions I just think that if things had been left along many years ago when there was only one version of the Bible in the English language, that we would all be reading from the same Bible today. There would be a lot less controversy concerning different interpretations of the scriptures . Some of the versions have gone so far that I don't really know if they have the same meaning as the original translation into the English Language. Where does it stop when we each write our own version to satisfy ourselves to justify our actions? |

I do not read other languages however all of the current versions in the same English language can be confusing if everyone is not on the same page at the same time. Since there are several people in the same congregation it would seem appropriate for everyone to be reading the same thing. If I were in another country I would be expected to understand their language. If in a congregation I would like to understand what whas being read. The versions vary so much that in some instances this could be very confusing. | ||||||
