Unfortunately, you didn’t do enough homework on this. Look at the Greek terms behind ‘world’ and ‘age’, particularly in Matthew 24. I see that others have already provided the key information.

No, it is not. It is a response to a divisive issue.

Adding to my earlier post… The inspiration is on the original only. God did not re-inspire each copyist, translator or publisher as they laboured. The inspiration remains effective through the processes of copying and translating, so what you or I hold today is still the inspired word of God...

His ideas on this particular issue are not bizarre at all; they just need a little adjustment.

You are correct about this particular issue. A true copy is inspired Scripture just as the original is inspired Scripture. The same holds for diligent and honest translations from originals or true copies.

Then by all means point out the shortcomings in my logic.

Agreed. "Fornication" is a weird one. Obviously, porneia is the direct root of 'pornography', but 'fornication' bears no direct link.

"An obscurity of fornication" What in the Webster does that mean? Name even one modern translation that I am allegedly "tripping over to defend"? Which one have I claimed? Show where I have "defended" it? My aim here is not to "defend" any particular translation, but to put out to pasture the...

I see you either didn't read or completely disregarded my response to your "purifications" twaddle.

Well said, Lady Magenta.

You provide the correct definition for 'homonym' but demonstrate that you don't understand it. The word you want is "synonym": similar meaning, much different spelling, and likely different origin. Please do your homework. Their credentials are irrelevant if their product is misleading and...

Uh huh... I did, because it's relevant. There is no sound rationale behind claiming anything about "people" without identifying which people... unless you truly mean "everyone". In that case, just say so.

I guess you don't know about the last six verses of Revelation? Tsk tsk... do your homework! By the way, if there was nothing wrong with it, why did he make five editions, and why were they all used by the KJV translators? You really should learn to tone down your rhetoric.

Non-Christians aren't looking to a 16th-century publication of the Anglican Church for moral guidance anyway, so why would it concern you? Christians, on the other hand, will find proper guidance in any decent translation of the Bible.

Prophesied? Utterly ridiculous. I can give three reasons why that doesn't fly. 1. Psalm 12:6 is a METAPHOR. You do understand what a METAPHOR is, don't you? Let's examine what this METAPHOR actually says and then what it most likely says about the word of God. When gold is smelted, it is...

Yes, and it's not "over men" either, as Stan_the_man claims.

Aaaand... how is that relevant to what I wrote? I'll bet the person who liked your post can't answer that question either.

"Water-downed"? I guess reading the KJV has taught you nothing about proper English grammar. The problem is that "fornication", being a transliteration, has no cognates in English. Unless you happen to have learned what the word is intended to mean, you would be guessing. Calling it "sexual...

If you're okay with your wife committing sexual immorality, you go right ahead.

If there is something wrong with a woman wanting authority over men, do you think that it is acceptable for a man to want authority over women? Think carefully before responding.
