Jim Lincoln wrote: Not really, John, U.K., it's in Elizabethan English, if a modern reader wants to peruse the AV, He should first read a good modern version of the Bible like the NIV, NKJV, (even an RSV of the '70's) and of course, [URL=http://www.lockman.org/nasb/]]]The New American Standard Bible[/URL]. I had done that, and I picked up the AV, and said I understand that, and of course tossed it aside again. No, you at least need a James Strong Concordance to understand the AV, because of the [URL=http://www.bible.ca/b-kjv-only.htm#archaic]]]Archaic Language of the KJV: 419 examples![/URL] Isn't that interesting. Here I was a 10th grad dropout with learning problems, and when I got saved I used the KJV with good understanding. All this before I ever read new versions. After I read and studied the new versions, I went right back to the KJV. I still study and preach from it today. The new versions are so dumbed down I don't see hoe people could progress in knowledge. Certianly your experience is yours, but it doesn't apply to as many people as you think. |

Contrarian wrote: Garbage. Converter boxes can be purchased for just 30 bucks - even without Bush's socialist subsidy. New 19" HDTV's can be had for as little as $130 on Amazon etc, as little as old Cathode Ray Tube sets used to cost. Existing antennas work just as well for digital as for analog. Technically, digital signals generally require LESS power to meet the same geographical distribution as analog signals. Simple ignorance would be the reason a few lost their TV service in 2009. It is sad, but some simply have no friends and family to help them through the simple set up. As the NYT notes, the main reason for decline is people switching to internet based services. Same with phone landlines. Obsolete, not needed anymore. Sorry friend. We live in a rual area that even with a digital t.v and good antena, the slightest inclimte weather will cause tv's to blank out. There is one station that no on in the county has been able to get unless they have cable. |

Jim Lincoln wrote: To understand the AV? Yes, plus the Oxford Dictionary or at least a James Strong's concordance. If you were refering to my post Jim, I was not using Matthew Henry and the Pulpit commentary in order to understand the King James English. Those commentaries were using King James English. My point was that if a High School drop out with ADD can understand those resources (Particularly the KJV) then anyone can. |

YAT wrote: "WHEREAS, Christians in the American society today are faced with difficult decisions about abortion; and WHEREAS, Some advocate that there be no abortion legislation, thus making the decision a purely private matter between a woman and her doctor; and WHEREAS, Others advocate no legal abortion, or would permit abortion only if the life of the mother is threatened; Therefore, be it RESOLVED, that this Convention express the belief that society has a responsibility to affirm through the laws of the state a high view of the sanctity of human life, including fetal life, in order to protect those who cannot protect themselves; and "Be it further RESOLVED, That we call upon Southern Baptists to work for legislation that will allow the possibility of abortion under such conditions as rape, incest, clear evidence of severe fetal deformity, and carefully ascertained evidence of the likelihood of damage to the emotional, mental, and physical health of the mother." With this line of reasoning even by the SBC, it's no wonder Roe Vs. Wade was handed-down and now a U.S. Citizen is killed every two minutes. Christ have mercy upon us. Agreed: Looked like they were on the right track, but they DESOLVED on that last RESOLVED |

His Mission is nonle, but his Method is deplorable. It's dissapointing that preaching has taken a backseat to everyting these days. But to have preaching contests? To look for the most talented? What does Paul say? But God has chosen the foolish things of this world.....God had chosen the weak things,the base things.....that no flesh should glory. Saved at 17 in a Fundamental Baptist church; gave me a great foundation. However; they would have Preachung Contest, and the winner would get a cash prize. The would have never let me preach. My sermon would be a Rebuke to such Carnal nonsense. This group had taken it even further. They freely admit they are using the Worldy American Idol as a motif. If you ask the question: As long as it creates the desired result (interest in preaching)doesn't that make the means alright? Simply put NO! The ends do not justify the means. Moses struck the rock, but the people drank. Was Moses of the hook? No. Let's pray that God will stir a hunger once again for the preaching of the Word. And that God (not gimmiks) would raise up anointed preachers, and anoint exising preachers in the pulpit. Also to protect them. Please pray that for me as well brethren. |

God has given you light. I would like to commend you for your dedication to preaching the word of God.
Truly He has spoken to you re the "True Tabernacle"; the one where Jesus Himself ministers as High Priest. To truly understand how Jesus intercedes, we must understand how the earthly priest interceded for his people.
Jesus' ministry of redemption continues to this day on our behalf.
The Heavenly Sanctuary is in fact the reality of those the earthly one that was merely a shadow.
May God continue to shine light upon you and may you continue to feed His sheep.
Respectfully,
Ricardo Vaquerano
