Bonny... the good news, is the good news.

We preach the good news to everyone. Whoever has ears to hear it, and is saved, is Gods business. As for you and me... preach the good news.

Its simple.

Christopher...

US... necessary sleep? Don't think ive had that for a decade now. Me thinks i should have added that to the prayer request. �

I praise the Lord for his blessings.

I thank the brothers and sisters for their prayers.

You know who you are.
I and i thought i was the only one who had trouble responding to emails�

I appreciate your last post. This is the kind of discussion that I've had with some others on this site. And like I said before it's challenged me to consider these things. I have looked into it. I understand the passion of the issue. What I have seen over the years since my conversion is several different types of Christians. Some barely study and care little about versions, somewhat charasmatic(and yes, i know a true brother in the Lord who is like that). Believe me, i see the problems with that.

And i know some who are heavy into study and are more heavily reformed in their doctrine. I can appreciate the latter. Its a noble path. But i also see the latter has bogged down some into a corse, academic only type of walk that shows little power amd little appeal. Not a lot of joy visible.

There has to be a balance and grace to all things.

Im ok if we agree to disagree.

You know me bro. I know the issues that weve discussed before. I use esv and kjv and compare.

Its the attitude of some kjv onlyists im trying to point out.

Its the mindset that some kjv onlyists have, that if you don't graduate to kjv only, you are poor student and lazy.

This elitist attitude is unfortunate.

Doesn't please the Lord i think.

Since you cut/edit my posts. I will do the same.

"Lawful","shame", "disgrace".
""Pragmatic","lazy","self pleasing ".

Thanks. Im aware of both sides of the issue. I understand the conviction on the issue as well. Any attempt to distort the word is serious business. I think about my own conversion. The version i used(and still do) was the ESV. When i had my new birth, scripture that used to be foggy to me was pouring out of my mouth from my inner most being. As though i had memorized it, which of course i hadn't. But guess what... what was pouring out of my mouth was not the KJV. It was the ESV. I would hope that all KJV onlyists would stop and ponder that. I often think about the brothers for a thousand years that had no bible at all. What troubles me, is that it seems a lot of KJV onlyists don't want to tackle that dilemma.
