Society & Culture - 6 December 2006

I hear lots of Christians talk about following the Bible only. It's interesing that there have been, and are still many versions of the Bible out there.

Some will say that only the King James version is allowed. The Catholics of course have theirs, and the Ethopian Catholic has the largest one.

Now, Protestants will claim thiers correct. But then, which versions?

The Apocrypha has been a sticking point, but was actually contained in early printing of the King James Bible, and still appears in German Protestant Bibles.

With so many Bibles out there, how does one choose one? Is the King James Bible the only one authorized by God? If so, do all non-English speakers need to learn English to understand the Bible Correctly? or are current Bible Translators truly inspired of God to make infallible translations such as the King James is supposed to be?

Is one to "take it on faith" that what one says about one version is true?

How does one know?

Why do believe that Plato, Socrates, etc. existed but say ridiculous statements like Muhammad is a fictional character? They know exactly where the Prophet Muhammad is buried in Madinah.

Do you think there are too many people on this planet now?
If the population keeps growing at it's present rate how many will live in your area in 50 years?

Should we try to limit the number of children being born?

As a Christmas gift I am taking my mother and wife to a very (very) nice restaurant...$150 per person (not including cocktails). Would there be an expectation to tip 15-20% even at those prices?

I am trying to find information on Greek Burial Rights and specifically the purpose in cremating a body by using a Pyre.

I know what a Pyre is, but I wonder what the significance is in the cremation to them?

Thanks!

Deuteronomy 18:20-22 should disqualify Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Jonah, Jesus, and Paul.

If you werre to die a horrible un-natural death, would you prefer to know it your whole life, do you think it would make it easier to know that one day you would be shot or strangled or maybe a traffic accident?

I've been hearing this a lot. People will say life is to short so they drop any pretense of morals to do a whole host of stupid things: drinking to excess, partying real hard, taking drugs, drag racing, having sex with everyone, stealing, and just not caring how other people feel or what they do to them. I've read answers here to peoples questions that are like this. Someone's advice will be to throw caution to the wind and just do what you want even if that person (the one asking) dosen't know what they really want or need to do.
