Looking for some insight as far as Conn. voting today and really could use some conservative input...I'll be checking on here through out the day before I vote...

Any certain office you are looking input for? Governor? Senator?

Welcome to Online Baptist.

The BCS is my only complaint about college football, because a lot of times you never have a clear cut winner for the National title. Bring on the playoffs.

You're shifting the burden of proof. The KJVO position claims that the only true word of God in all the world. No other version in any other language can be the perfect word of God if the KJVO position is correct for the reason I mentioned. You are the one who must prove that claim.

Since you are the one making the statement, I think you are the one that must prove that claim. I'm KJVO and I do not believe the bold part to be a true statement. I believe the KJV to be God's preserved Words in English, and He is capable of doing it in other languages also.

Seeing how this topic is about a "English" version, I think this topic should remain discussing the English versions.

I'm not KJV-only, but I do agree that the TNIV is messed up. Tons of horrid translations. Of course, I don't really like any translation completely, considering they all have stuff wrong (from what I've seen) - like, translating baptizo "baptize" rather the "immerse", the literal translation. And, in some instances, translating ekklesia "assembly" rather than "Church."
God bless,

If you have found that they all have translational errors, then I think you would be the one to have the authority to make a new translation. If you know they all are wrong, why haven't you given us a accurate Bible in English?

I was going to get you one for Christmas too.

Today's New International Version was produced to meet the ever-growing spiritual needs of today's generation of believers—as well as to help nourish the next generation of believers—by offering a Bible that faithfully communicates the timeless truths of God's Word.

Like the original NIV was not bad enough.

It is not that Christmas in itself is un-Biblical, it is how you celebrate it that can make it un-Biblical.

The Birth of Jesus is as Biblical as it gets.

I'm dressing up as James the Preacher.

Is this type of technique helpful or hurtful for Christianity?

So Kitagrl, what are your kids dressing up as for Halloween?

Nathaniel, thanks for joining. Praise the Lord about your salvation, that is the best decision that you can ever make. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We try and discuss things in a mature manner rather than debate and argue with each other. We do not always succeed, but we try.


Ask away...

As many know Linda McMahon is running for a Senate seat in my home state. Linda McMahon is the former WWE wrestling executive and wife of Vince McMahon who currently serves as the chairman and CEO of professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment.

What does this have to do with this thread? Well, Connecticut's polling places are being told they can ask people wearing World Wrestling Entertainment apparel to cover up while voting. Why? because "Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon is so closely associated with WWE, which she left to run for office."

Anyone else find this interesting?


Disclaimer: I do not own any WWE clothes, but stuff like this make me want to go buy some and then go vote. Well, maybe not, but you get the point.

Ok,try this.... Born and raised.

I think an interesting poll would be to see who is still living where they were raised. Maybe that is because I am still here. :biggrin:

I've lived all over the country, with the exception (by the grace of God) of the Northeast

Hey!! Don't knock it until you try it.


Just kidding. Welcome aboard.

John is this only happening when you reply to a post? Does it happen when you are browsing a thread?

Welcome to Online Baptist. Glad to have you.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- If you thought the coffee at Starbucks was addictive, wait until you try the beer and wine.

I do not watch the View either, but I thought the video was entertaining. I wonder if anyone would have walked off the set if anyone said that Christians are terrorists.

Praying

I do not think any action should be taken against our First Lady or others who ignorantly went against this law, but it was the reaction of the official that has me worried. Every one should be created equal under the law, the official pretty much says there is an exception.

The more telling part of the story is the response from the official. "You kind of have to drop the standard for the first lady, right?"

Maybe it is just me, but law standards should not be dropped for anyone.

First lady Michelle OBama appears to have violated Illinois law -- when she engaged in political discussion at a polling place!

The drama began after Mrs. OBama stopped off at the Martin Luther King Center on the south side of Chicago to cast an early vote.

After finishing at the machine, OBama went back to the desk and handed in her voting key.

She let voters including electrician Dennis Campbell, 56, take some photos.

"She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband's agenda going," Campbell said.

According to a pool reporter from the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES at the scene, the conversation took place INSIDE the voting center, not far from the booths.

Illinois state law -- Sec. 17-29 (a) -- states: "No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place [or] within 100 feet of any polling place."

A top Ilinois State Board of Elections official tells the DRUDGE REPORT that Mrs. OBama -- a Harvard-educated lawyer -- may have simply been ignorant of the law and thus violated it unintentionally.

"You kind of have to drop the standard for the first lady, right?" the official explained late Thursday. "I mean, she's pretty well liked and prOBably doesn't know what she's doing."

WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS ELECTIONEERING

When questioned about the brazen nature of Mrs. OBama's campaigning, press secretary ROBert Gibbs defended the action.

"I don't think it would be much to imagine, the First Lady might support her husband's agenda," Gibbs smiled.
