  I am definitely not a scholar of Biblical versions. My knowledge of the different versions, their purposes and the backgrounds of their authors is very limited. As such, I am grabbing information from several sources to try to give an overview of Biblical translation and to hopefully guide those who are looking to get a Bible to a version that will be best suited to their needs. There are quite a number of good Bible versions out there, but there are some horrible versions too. First and foremost on the list of horrible versions is the Queen James bible ("bible" is intentionally lower case). This is an LGBT+++ affirming bastardization of the Holy Word of God. I am sorry if that wording is offensive to you, but the mere existence of this version of the "bible" is even more offensive to God and to all real Christians. The QJV was written with the express purpose of removing all references to the alphabet lifestyles as being sinful and worthy of punishment. As such,...

  This article may ruffle a lot of feathers, so I want to be very clear about something before I delve into it. While I have serious concerns and accusations to make against the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), I recognize that there are members of the RCC that are true believers in Jesus Christ, who will be with Him in eternity, and who accomplish good and even miraculous things for the kingdom of God. My concerns that I will be listing in this article are not accusations against Catholics, but against the church system under which Catholics worship. The system has become corrupted through and through, in large part due to corrupt Popes who have been given the reins of the church over the centuries. There have been sacraments and rituals initiated in the church that are against Biblical teachings and the church has not encouraged it's parishioners to read their Bibles for themselves, which has left the members of the RCC in the dark about how much of what they are doing under the inst...

 I introduced this topic in my last post, which you can read here if you want to. I suggest that you do so if you haven't already just so you can follow my full line of thought in this series. I think what this series is going to point out is that, in this world of preached (though seldom actually enacted) tolerance, there is a belief that every religion points and leads to the same God. This is not the case. In this series of articles, I am going to tackle how the two largest world religions, Roman Catholicism and Islam, are both contrary to the beliefs that I hold to as they are presented in the Bible, which I will simplify to merely call Protestantism. The single largest drawback that I can think of for Protestantism in the world, is that there are a lot of differences in dogma through many different sects of Protestantism. The basic fundamentals are the same; God the Father created everything through Jesus the Son (Genesis 1-2, John 1), God pursued mankind and gave His Law to...

 I am staunchly Christian. I hope that this is evident in my life through my words and my deeds. You don't know who I am because I have not revealed that to you; I have intentionally kept this blog anonymous. Maybe someday I will reveal who I am; maybe not. Only God knows that. But I hope that those with whom I have a regular interaction can recognize that I love the God of the Bible and I am trying to live in order to please Him, as short as I may sometimes fall of that goal. Being staunchly Christian, I have a strong respect for Judaism as it is the faith system that is the very root of my own, worshipping the same God and providing for me the same Messiah; but I hurt for those who are caught in Judaism because they have failed to recognize the revelation of their long awaited Messiah in the person of Jesus the Christ. The incarnation of Jesus changed the nature of how humanity relates to the One and Only God. As we read through the Scriptures, we see that God has revealed Himse...
