Romans 16:17 (KJV)17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Not making much sense Charity.Understand that we cannot read minds. So you need to explain the message from that point of view.I got the first bit. There are new worlds (planets) being created all the time.This post is about the whole Universe though.

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 20 2013,00:11)Webster is a fraud.Is it not the job of a dictionary to list words in use and what they mean in their usage.How can it be a fraud if it fulfills that description.The word “wicked” for example is defined as “evil or morally wrong”… But it also is used in the following:playfully mischievous: a wicked sense of…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 20 2013,02:13)But as I have also said, I don't think the compilers of the KJV actually meant people to think of a white unicorn.  It is just that they did use that word in nine verses even though they knew that unicorns were known as the white mythical beasts, and they could easily have just inserted the word “rhinoceros” (as it…[Read more]

It makes no difference to me or King James that the word may not be the best term to use to describe that animal. It was obviously in use for the pure fact it was in the dictionary. That is the point, thus the use of the word in the KJV should not conjure up an image of a white horse as some Atheists do, because that is not the truth of the…[Read more]

As for that mythical horse from the 15th century, that is French I think. The French didn't create the KJV, the Brits did. So it is possible that while the British used the term Unicorn to describe a Rhino as testified by the first Websters Dictionary, it could have become that horse due to the way the French or those on the continent used that…[Read more]

The original printing of the KJV has this on the front:“Newly Translated out of the OriginalTongues: & with the former TranslationsDiligently compared and revised by hisMajesty’s special Commandment” The King James was translated from the original tongues, but the translators also diligently compared their work to former translations, inclu…[Read more]

If you get an old 1828 Noah Webster’s Dictionary, which is the very first edition dictionary that Webster came out with about 200 years ago, and look up the word “unicorn” it says:UnicornAn animal with one horn; the monocerous. This name is often applied to the Unicorn.RhinocerousA genus of quadrupeds of two species, one of which, the unico…[Read more]

I see what is happening now Stu.I misjudged your intelligence. Do you know any Atheists who are 10 no 25 times smarter than you? Sorry had to increase that. I thought 10 would be high enough but I realise now that was too low.

OMG, I didn't realise that you were that naive.Sorry, I was truly joking. Taking the piss.And you thought I was serious.Tell you what. Because you can't tell when someone is taking the piss, shall I colour code text where the piss is being taken? You can even choose the colour.
