I think it’s more the people who insist that a 400 year old translation of the Bible specifically designed to be anti-Puritan/pro-Church of England is somehow more holy than any other translation made in modern English using more accurate original sources.

I don’t know about the whole debate, but from what I’ve read, the KJV is much more poetic and straightforward, while the new translations are very watered down and often so concerned about direct translation that they are wordy and awkward.

I’m not sure why it matters what translation you read. I like NKJV, and personally prefer KJV, but there isn’t “one above all” or anything like that.

Sure, but DE is specifically referring to the KJV-only people. There was a church not far from my (Bible) college that had a sign that insisted if you weren’t reading KJV you were going to hell.

Ha, that’s crazy. Do people who don’t speak english have only an eternity in the fiery depths of hell to look forward to?

I had to look up what that even meant.

I’ll admit, so did I.

But why hate on the King James?

Well, he’s obviously one of the best players the NBA has ever seen, and he has won two titles, but the way he’s gone about it has been less than inspiring.

Good point, but his use of the word “King” as a title strikes me as a clear endorsement for a return to a monarchical government.

I hear he’ll be in Space Jam 2. The fact that he signed on for it (assuming this is true) means something must be wrong with him.

Seriously? There’s going to be a sequel to that? I thought it barely broke even?

The merchandise from the first one lingered on shelves longer than Phantom Menace stuff did.

Where were you in '77?

^It’s become a cult classic among today’s youth. We all grew up on TV airings of it. It’s a horrible movie but I can’t hate it because I watched it several times on TV when I was young(er) and loved it.

Wasn’t there a thread for people that randomly disappear and then come back for a while?
Anyway hello folks, I disappeared and came back! Popped in to say hi, what did I miss?

He’s been with you all along.

The time when you left no footprints in the forum, that’s when he was carrying you.

Hmm, yeah, I see it. All those have female lead roles and are universally HATED! Right? Or…

I think HansiG has a good point. All of those things are loved by a large amount of people. People are upset with the new Ghostbusters because it’s an unfunny and un-needed reboot of a beloved classic comedy. Some view it as an obvious cash-grab that’s trying to appeal to the ‘feminist’ crowd with a ‘girl-power’ message. I don’t necessarily agree with this, but it’s far more nuanced than “I ain’t gon’ see that movie cuz there’s womanz in it.” I haven’t seen anyone ever espouse the latter position, but I’ll concede that if anyone does hold that view, they’re stupid.

But it appears the conversation has moved on, so I’ll leave it there.

Hey buddy! Welcome back to the land of trolls and stuff. 😉

We’ve been having a love-fest in the politics thread. And I had a bit of a near-meltdown experience in the Emotional Support thread. But other than that nothing new. And maybe even with those things nothing’s new hey?

How’s it going with you? Any tales from your travels in the great beyond?

K. Let’s have this ride.

It was misprint.
It was Hull which is a bit grim but nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.
