Twelve truths.
David:
Amen Dave on the easy to read translation.
The KJV can be a bit daunting, unless of course you've studdied Shakespear for a few years........lol
I use the NKJV. Its in 20th century English, corrects some of the translation errors in the KJ such as "ages" in many places instead of eternal or world. But it still retains the poetic flow of the KJ. The NKJ also has a lot of alternate readings in the center columns such as Gehenna and Hades where Hell is used. It italics in caps all references from the OT in the NT. This often helps in connecting scriptures.
Richard D:
Martinez.
Thank you for responding to my post. I appreciate the advice you have given me and also the last response got me thinking as you mention reading about the hanging gardens of Babylon and then you received a revelation.
I do get revelations when I’m doing something contrary to studying the word of God or even when not viewing the forum but maybe at a store and something may happen and then I get this understanding about something I might not have ponder at all before.
But I do know it’s the Lord who is giving me this understanding. You know it’s difficult to explain it, I guess one has to experience it to understand it.
But I’m not sure if this is likewise with scripture although I do remember Ray said something about being stuck on a scripture and while at a restaurant having dinner the revelation hit him while not dwelling on it.
Thanks again for you’re response and help. You’re friend and brother in the Lord.
Richard.

The good thing about the KJV (not ye olde) is that apparently it's very poetic and has sort of rhythm to it which makes it easier to get a handle on.

"Thank you, Brother Boney. I believe we can clearly see two things from this passage. The first is that God wants us to speak in tongues. If He didn't, He wouldn't have told us to right there."
"The second thing is, that God doesn't want us to have no sounding brass or tinkling cymbals. God told me that I am supposed to fire half our rythm section today, so Sister Brassy and Brother Tinkly, get down off the stage or be in danger of Hellfire."
And the people said, "Amen."

;D :o That is soooooo funy, it is EXACTLY how the scripture has been interpreted. MAN, I am humbled that God has opened up my eyes......I used to believe the above crap and eat it up every Sunday as well.

Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
