Worry!

[savvytangerine]

Now that is taking worry to the next level, which might start to turn unhealthy, IMO.

Very unhealthy. But you gotta love 'em. Quirks and all.

True.

But I wouldn?t recommend praying for the sea turtles if you want to save them.

Let?s all take action to protect their habitat and offer to walk the beaches in the spring to identify and protect their nests.

I'm for being proactive. There is a time to trust that everything will work out as it should -- and a time to make things happen. Or at least try your hardest.

There are a few people out there that think we are crazy for caring so much for the sea turtles, so don't go lumping them into our boat. They probably are saddened that they can no longer legally eat sea turtles. Oh, they like them, but only for the taste.

:shock: :angry: I really don't know what to say to that
without coming off as a completely pertinacious vegetarian.

We turned onto the Highway to Hell from Prayers Path after bypassing Lovingly Logical Lane. But its Ok because we're riding in our F-150 with our guns drawn, flags out, ready to pop anyone who questions the Surge of Democracy or the story of Noah and the Ark carrying WMDs.

Note to self...next time, one egg not two. Brownies are not so good.

I told you I was worried for your brownies.

You can use 2 eggs or one if you use 50 percent more oil. They will be fudgy, not cakey. Cakey is the devil's work!

I guess I like the devil's work.

Cakey brownies=Very !!! Maybe ice cream can redeem? Purity Blackberry Cordial rocks ya'll,just BTW!

Ice cream makes all holy. Ice cream can redeem all.

King James, originally.

But weren't there many more editors and translators than King James?

 

[Smiling JOe]

It's not "my" idea that counts!!! God said..."Thou Shalt Not Kill" and that's good enough for me!

Cannot take that too literally. "Murder" might be a more appropriate translation, and that wouldn't be solely referencing human murder. There is a difference between killing an animal to eat for food and outright murder of an animal just because you want to kill a deer. God's language is universal and words are not needed to know God's message or know of God's creations.

How's that working for ya', NoHall?

Bend over. I got a sticker for ya.

But weren't there many more editors and translators than King James?

He was the one who originally had it translated, and he had it translated according to his own taste.

To be fair, most of the translations we use now (New International Version, Revised Standard Version, etc.) are translated directly from the Hebrew and Greek, so King James falls out of the picture.

But if you recall the very recent Broo-Ha-Ha about the Gospel of Judas, yes, there were lots of gospels that were rejected by the church, and since the church is made up of mostly people, I'm sure that those early Catholics had their own agenda. (As much as I like some of what I heard about the Gospel of Judas, that book also said that Mary Magdelene was a witch. Very strange.)

Did the Southern Baptist recently ditch the King James Version? The Southern Baptists make a very large and powerful congregation and to say that the King James version falls out of the picture may not be correct.

I ditched the Southern Baptists around 1990, but I think most SBC congregations ditched the KJB before that. I went to a Baptist school, and we used NIV at school (unless some real old school preacher came in for something.) I remember when I was a little kid, my parents actually used a Living Bible, which was in conversational English.

So who holds the copyright to the best selling book of all times, The Bible? That is what I worry about. They must be making a killing.

So, other than brownies, what else are you guys worried about tonight? Maybe we could pray about it together!!!

Let me ask you this...If you had to be out of your place by next week, and you didn't have a place to go, just yet, would that worry you? Would that be a "healthy" worry?

 

[Smiling JOe]

Barb, what do you think about Genesis 3:16? Why would God make women suffer in pain and why would God make men ruler over their wives? Do you live by this part of the Bible? These three Bible translations have the same meaning, ...

New International Version
To the woman he (God) said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

King James Version
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

New Living
Then he said to the woman, ?I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy,
and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you."

We called that the Groovy Bible when we were growing up!
