rexico, books are written every year that in some form or another they claim God told them to write them. They can be inspirational books, teaching books, denominational books the list goes on and on. Just read the prologues to them or the credits, or the back cover.
There is a Greek word that is used in the new testament "Telos".............. If you truly are a seeker, then go study Eschatology.
There is nothing new under the Sun.
I can’t speak for anyone else but I have a desire for people to learn about and seek Christ as their Savior. I think God impresses us to do so.Originally Posted by HoustonG
Why do you think the KJV is the right one?
It is not the "right one" because there are no "right ones". They all serve a purpose whichever you choose to read. The KJV has had to make revisions to its contents over the decades as new manuscripts have been found just as many others have had to do as well. Also, they have had to change some of the "translation errors " of some Greek words because they were found to be biased in their interpretation / translation.
rexico have you studied the history of biblical translations ?
No... why would the word of God need translated?
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm because they were originally written in another language ? namely Hebrew, and koine Greek
rexico, regarding many of your post, I end with "there is nothing new under the sun" I am not sure you have grasped that. There are no new questions that can be asked that have not already been addressed and answered. You may not agree with the answers and that is ok.......................there are 100,000s maybe millions/billions who disagree...... Its ok. Just be honest with yourself and say, I don't believe this fairytale .
Thats simply the book I read and I feel comfortable with it. I havent felt the need to read other translations or versions. In my post, I put KJV in parenthesis just in case anyone asked which version.
Rexico, do you believe we are created or do you think we're just a random byproduct of some intergalactic event? For the sake of discussion, please don't say "I don't know."
Honestly and purely from your gut, created or accidental?
Unless you know how to real old Greek or Old Hebrew language, there wouldn't be many capable of reading the original translation, which were first translated into Latin, so do you need any other reasons.
I think you're misinterpreting his question. I think he's asking why God wouldn't take into account the languages we speak today if he in fact was speaking to the men who wrote scripture. If God decided to use a book as our pathway to salvation, why would he not consider the fact we wouldn't be speaking the languages of it's original content? I've been told some Hebrew words simply don't have a clear and accurate English translation, so they just got as close as they could. It doesn't show much foresight does it? Like it or not, it's a good question.Unless you know how to real old Greek or Old Hebrew language, there wouldn't be many capable of reading the original translation, which were first translated into Latin, so do you need any other reasons.
Same situation would be when people have revelations....some of which are accompanied with supernatural miracles. Should you believe them? Do you want to believe them? Common sense and prayer will be the best solution to aide you in your belief...
Sacred Heart of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death. AMEN
O blood and water which gush forth from the heart of Jesus, have mercy on us
For the sake of his sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and the whole world

rexico, have you grasped that ? or do you need to do some more research ? Or, do you just keep asking questions (ad nau·se·am ) , see definition above in post #54 ?
I posted a new Youtube video today that dealt with atheism ( non- theist )....................have you watched it ? Are you are serious with your doubts, or is this something else ?.....................please review the video, I would like to hear your thoughts and how they differ from the two who hold Dr. status ?

rexico, why did you not respond to my post#41 Do you know what the Greek word Telos means , how it is used in the New Testament ? You seem to hop, skip and Jump to whatever is convenient to interject with another question :)

With all due respect, if I am misreading the poster's question, shouldn't he be the one taking up this concern. I am sure GOD took every necessary need, since I have no problem reading and understanding my bible, and for that matter, I don't think that I have had much problem understanding replies to my question in this forum or others, when the questions I am asking truly matter to me.
Very good observation Dozer!
Nice, but you still misinterpreted the the question. It's ok though, no need to take it as a personal attack.
It is a good observation, and it applies to all fronts.
