If the King James was good enough for Jesus, burn the rest by The Church of Jesus Christ on Nov 6, 2009I find this move by this ‘pastor’ as disgusting as you can get. There is an old, snooty church joke that goes something like this: Miss Smith approaches her pastor, incensed that he has replaced the King James Bible with the New Internat...

More on the KJVO Book Burning Craziness (Video) by The Church of Jesus Christ on Oct 15, 2009Let me preface that while I might not like some of the authors/books or even a few of the translations listed, I would not burn them.

Reprobation in the New Living Translation by The Church of Jesus Christ on Sep 22, 2009We will be discussing several passages today, to see if the NLT measures up in understanding (mine or Paul’s?) reprobation – in which someone is cast away from God. The word itself, absent doctrine and dogma, is an important word, and car...

Vetting the New Living Translation (NLT) by The Church of Jesus Christ on Sep 22, 2009As many of my readers know, I come from a King James Only background (KJVO).

Friday’s Favorite Posts by The Church of Jesus Christ on Jul 31, 2009Today is Friday, and I do not have much work to do, so I thought I would share some reading material with you all. First off, Wall Watcher Extraordinaire has posted a little diddy about that young kid who just didn’t want to go to church. Step...
