Why do KJV only advocates reject the apocrypha, since the original 1611 version contained the apocrypha?

If God always gives the world his word in one language (as KJV advocates say of English), then the KJV is certainly not that language, for God chose Koine GREEK not ENGLISH to reveal his New Covenant!
If God gave us the KJV as an inspired translation, why would God not repeat the process again in modern language in each language?

If God supervised the translation process so that the KJV is 100% error free, why did God not extend this supervision to the printers?

Last night on the democratic debate Hillary was asked what her favorite bible verse was. Her response was "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". This is NOT even a bible verse. It is the golden rule, but is not a bible verse.

I am seeing that there are pot stirrers here,like everywhere else,and my first reaction was,I do NOT need this drama.I will go elsewhere.
But I don't want to go - I am staying...nobody is making sense about this to me anyway, so I am choosing to move on and go back to the YA seniors questions & answers that have looked forward to so much.
maybe if everyone will stop feeding this, it will die down.wouldn't that be great?

What made you turn to the religion you have so much faith in?

I will be open minded, and I want to state my piece.

I believe that humans go through hard times, in such times one may turn to "God". Believing that if he has this faith, he will make it through all his hardships. What I see is.... people being asked to put blind confidence into and once something successful happens in one's life, they give the religion all the credit. I believe humans themselves, have the ability to make it through obstacles themselves, it just takes a clear way of thinking through problems. We can be quite emotional in our problems, have stress, but at the end we get through problems because we finally see a certain way. It is not "magic" or the will of someone else. It is in "YOU", no one else.

Once again, I just want to hear what you have to say, regardless of what religion you believe.

I am very tired, and I am afraid to go to sleep, I find myself drifting into a nightmare, I try to wake myself but the sleep is debilitating
so I slowly roll over, I try to pinch myself, only to find out that the pinching must be already in my sub conscience, I rolled over I am awake I finally escaped the sleep I was falling into, this is a horrible feeling, and I am now asking what I should do, It feels like I can't wake myself up, as if I am on a drug that paralyzes me, I don't want to go back to sleep right now, perhaps I will wait?

I am reading a book called "Satan's Devices" by Kurt Koch, which discusses and refutes all kinds of occult and questionable (according to the Christian faith) practices, things like fortune telling, ouija boards, scientology, etc. In this book there is a section concerning speaking in tongues; he is generally against the practice. Some of the things he says are "the tongues and the charismatic movements are the most dangerous weapons Satan uses against the Christian camp," and "it sometimes happens that demons claim to be the Holy Spirit or Jesus...In this way they sometimes lead whole groups of Christians astray. This is the most devilish misuse of the Word of God that Satan allows himself." So basically, the author says that some cases of speaking in tongues is actually demons entering the Christian and posing as the Holy Spirit, and he gives a number of examples of this. I'm on the fence about tongues in general, and this just confuses me. Has anyone else ever heard this?

When people open a bottle of champagne or give you an alcoholic drink. I have a strong aversion to alcohol and am also taking medication which increases the effects of alcohol.

When I say no thank you, I don't drink, they think I am no fun and do not ask me again or treat me like a little kid or just ignore me.

My friend says you have to drink so they think you are like them, but I don't want to and if I have a small amount, even a sip I get drunk and I don't want people make fun of me.

My personal opinion is that you are born it but some people are better then others at repressing their homosexuality. However alot of people seem to think you are "made" it so my theory seems to be in the minority. What are you opinions?
Thanks

A. An atheist who lives his life with the certainty that there isn't a God peering into his life judging him, and subsequently lives his life as himself. Perhaps sinning on the way, but more or less just doing what he does, without any thought that there will be accountability for it.

B. A Christian who believes in hell, believes that it exists for certain, tells others they will go to hell for not believing in what they believe... and still sins all the time, constantly praying to be forgiven for the same sins over and over and over. With a firm belief that they can sin, and as long as they feel bad about it, they will be forgiven by asking God.

Note: The atheist doesn't believe it exists, and the Christian does with all of their heart. So who has the better excuse in reality. And this idea in itself I do not pose as an excuse for atheists... because all atheists know that we don't need an excuse (all part of not believing in the first place).

What do you have to say?
