Society & Culture - 16 June 2006

I just asked the question why the Old and New Testaments in the KING JAMES VERSION were written in different styles of ENGLISH. I also asked if THE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE, KING JAMES VERSION, WRITTEN IN ENGLISH AND COMMISIONED BY THE KING OF ENGLAND WHOSE NAME WAS JAMES AND LIVED MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS AFTER JESUS was written IN ENGLISH all at once, both Testaments, that is.

I was not asking about the history of the HEBREW VERSION, WRITTEN THOUSANDS OF YEARS BFORE JESUS versus the GOSPELS WRITTEN IN GREEK OR ARAMEIC OR WHATEVER, WRITTEN AFTER THE DEATH OF JESUS.

Every answerer so far has not even UNDERSTOOD what I was asking, let alone given a coherent answer.

Is the question that hard? I thought I wrote it in ENGLISH. Let's try again.

Why is the Old Testament written in OLDE ENGLISH and the New Testament not written in Olde English? The operative word being ENGLISH.

Or maybe you aren't so sure, and you need to convince yourself? How absurd to waste your time on a topic that you reject?

All functional men experience lust. If Jesus didn't experience lust, something was wrong with him. A perfect man would function normally. Abnormal behavior is not being perfect and if Jeus never experience lust, that's abnormal behavior. Lust is not a bad thing. It is a natural thing that all normal men experience. If something is WRONG with a man, than maybe he may not experience lust. If Jesus did experience lust, he probably was gay or he committed fornication which means he had sex without being married. If he did get married and have kids, he probably wasn't a father that was there for his kids because it never mentioned anywhere in the bible that he took care of kids. If he didn't get married or wasn't gay, maybe he jacked off A LOT. So, it looks like Your almighty "Jesus" had lots of flaws

Does this happen to you?

I know some that read the bible and it the same to them every time, then there is me?

It always changing meaning to me, and I can read the same place in the bible. Then I can just take a week off the bible (Break) and be doing nothing and the whole thing just come to my head, and I understand everything or think I do, and not be studing

Some people have it (gift of understanding the bible) then some don't, am I lost?

okay, i don't know if it's just me, but i get sick of GBLT people getting all up in christians' and conservatives' faces. i mean, admittedly they can be a pain, but they're not the devil, you know?

for instance, my parents are both very conservative. however, they still love me for who i am and i still love them.

and also, i am a church-every-sunday christian. i don't know what i'd do without God. sometimes, it scares me when people tell me i'm going to hell and sh*t. because like, how could He ever do that to me?

i don't know. just thought of that. thoughts?

Christians, Athiests, Jews, Muslims........What ever happened to judging individuals based on who they are rather than lumping everyone into a category? Not all Christians preach, not all Athiests hate everything, not all Muslims kill in the name of religion! Why do people feel the need to judge an entire group based on the actions of few?

I beleive so. A few hours ago I posted a question in bad taste looking for a different type of answer. The question was not serious and it stated that in this detail part, which I now know few read, Anyway all who responded, gave answers that all of us as humans should admire...

Or was it the planets aligning just so? Or was it the Wiccan spell of protection that you cast? Or was it Zeus or Odin looking over your shoulder? Or maybe you reached a level of Zen enlightenment? Or... was it... coincidence?
All the belief systems out there look the same objectively... How do you know for sure? How is it ever more than a choice that could have been made by the roll of a die? There is no final, definitive concrete evidence for any religion or spiritual philosophy. But the thing is I still have this nagging feeling I will be going to hell because I didn't choose to accept Jesus Christ as my saviour.. but my brain says: this doesn't make any objective sense....What do you think?
Intelligent answers only, please!! Don't bother answering if you can't use English grammar correctly or if you can't answer without YELLING LIKE THIS.
Sorry to be a prick, but those things are insanely irritating.
