Let's use this thread to discuss the Bible and share some of your favorite scriptures.

Your interpretations are welcome too. But no bashing or criticizing please.


Nice debates are okay. Let's just be kind and considerate of others opinions and beliefs, okay?

Who wants to go first?

Colossians Chapter 3 verses 18-21

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

Rose, I truly love the Lord, and really can appreciate your love for him as well. I also appreciate the fact that you are touting this in its own thread on the open forum vs the breeder's corner that should be "bash free", and that is tough when religion is introduced.

Just trying to call a truce. For whatever it's worth.

"The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue."

Your Welcome and Sweet Dreams........

Timothy Chapter 5 verse 13

And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.




Timothy Chapter 6 verse 10-11

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Timothy Chapter 6 verse 7

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

I'd like to know what your opinion is of the 'new translations' of the Bible that seem to not only moderize the words but totally change the meaning? I can't say I like them at all - prefer King James or Revised Standard. I notice your quotes are from the older versions. I don't want to start an argument. I just think there is a fundamental difference between: "Thou shall not kill." and 'You shouldn't cause harm to anyone." What do you think?

Does anyone know why its called the "King james Version?"


Becauze King james revised it during his reign to suit himself. he wasn't a good king and didn't like to follow the way the bible was written, so he went and changed a few things and made the new King james version and the people followed what it said. It gave King James more control than it would have otherwise.

I do not own one of those modern Bibles, because as you stated, they change the meaning of the scriptures. The only Bible for me is The King James Version.

That is not what was implied at all in that link you supplied! It is a very good link however and well worth reading. I did speed read, and so I am going to read it again later when I have more time.

This is a little off our subject, but this might interest you. It shows another sign of the world's upcoming end.

"I will never allow in my conscience that the blood of any man shall be shed for diversity of opinions in religion." by King James

The story of King James life and his role in rewriting the Bible. It's a bit of reading, but well worth it.
