Subject: Was "James" used prior to KJV ? |
Bible Note: EdB :-( Now are you tring to tell me that Paul didn't speak Elizabethian English as well? Now you have crossed over the Big no, no, line! If KJV was good enough for Paul then it is good enough for me!!!! I think in reality in the midwest, here in central Missoui, the KJV out sell all other translations, this is the Bible Belt and we have a great number of Almish and Menonite. Some drive cars but most have horse drawn buggies. This can be a real test of their faith venturing out on the highway. As a drive I am always or the alert for the orange triangles. Everyear there collisions and serious injury, and the horse seldom lives. These simple living folks have become friends and we have been challenged to make our life less hectic and simpler. We buy a lot of our grocerys and other better hosehold itend, and all our hay this way. We have become friends with a man and wife who have 60 grandchildren! Their lifestyle is amazing. When a wedding comes it takes all day! there are generally 250 people who eat, sing, pray and celebrate. This goes on until 11 PM. and the Brides family pays for everything! Two meals for 250 people, wow! I have never been with such kinder more sincere, loving people. They accept outsiders very cautiously, and it takes time to build friendships. This has been well worth our effort and love to them. Their children do not go to school beyond the 8th grade. They earn their living with their hands, respect the soil, and do not accept any government Social Security, food stamps or welfare. They pay their taxes and keep to thenselves. Their lives are hard, and they depend on hard work and the Lord. Now I wonder how our government could improve on that? We respect their right to live unto the Lord as they see best. We are viewed as friends, but I am sure they would generally say we are too worldly. Our friends have accepted our differences as we have theirs. So I say we are blessed to live where we do. Justme |
