Wow.

Thanks! I’ll write them down.

YES, the Resurrection was the “Boss Move” that validated EVERYTHING.

“For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins. Furthermore, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished. For if only in this life we have hope in Christ, we should be pitied more than anyone. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”
— I Corinthians 15:16-21

That entire chapter is well worth reading.

...That entire chapter is well worth reading.studying and pondering.

There. Fixed it.

One guy online recommends starting with a word that has 4 vowels in it. Here’s his list, although I didn’t know they were all words.

I’ll try one of those tomorrow. I have a few regular starter words I use that have three vowels.

...That entire chapter is well worth reading studying and pondering.

Amen to that.

Iknowhuh?

[zzeeman]

Agree completely!

THanks for the reference.

[zzeeman]

Indeed!

I have been pouring over it since it was linked...

I am particularly fascinated by that version (New English Translation), I never used it before...

[HKMk23]

The New English is less literary, and I don’t always like the way they choose to render a word or phrase, but it absolutely shines in the sheer blizzard of footnotes included. Difficult word choices and phrasings are explained with other options given, a rationale for each, and references to other scholarly sources on the specific subject, all of which gives the reader a more complete view of the translators’ task, and builds a more broad comprehension of the text. One might still think a different word choice is the better one, but the perspective gained reading the footnotes enable that opinion to be much more fully-informed.

I stick with the KJV, because it’s as close to the original translations as a Bible can be. So much is lost (or gained) in the newer versions. I know it’s easier for people to understand the simplified versions, but the KJV is beautiful.

Kitteh Saturday is gonna be rainy agin!

Good morning. I hope you slept well.

I didn’t sleep through the alarm but I didn’t jump out of bed when it rang, either. Unngh. Forty-five minutes later...

So now I have to get dressed, take my pills and get something to eat. Not necessarily in that order.

Walmart day. Nothing else of any import will be done because it takes so much out of me. If I could just go early some weekday morning!

[Monkey Face]

I tried one of those words and I would have been better off using the one I always use.

Good morning. Jake insisted I get up around 5:15. When sitting on me didn’t work, he started attacking things in the room.

It’s looking like rain here today. Shannon spewed. We have choir at 10:00 and then nothing else scheduled.

[zzeeman]

Yes, I noticed the incredible amount of footnotes... very educational version!

[zzeeman]

I am used to using both the NKJV and the NIV.

[zzeeman]

Good Morning!

I used one of my set of starters that I hadn’t used in some time... it only eliminated all of the letters! lol

I got side-tracked checking emails and such, and here I sit, an hour or so later, wondering where the time went. I won’t be checking other sites again until much later in the day.

Sorry about Jake’s tantrum and Shannon’s spewing on the floor. I’ve noticed my floors get very sticky when the days are rainy. Today’s storms are coming out of the northwest instead of the southwest. I have no idea what that means, just that it’s different.

Of course, now, I’m waiting for the text to tell me the Other Folks will be here “in a few minutes.” That usually means about 20...

[Monkey Face]

I have a Bible collection, so I have a lot of different versions. Some are old and well used, so I try not to open them too often. I think I have about 50, though I haven’t counted them since I unpacked them. And I still have to shift some stuff before I can actually get to the bookcases without mountain climbing gear. ;o]

But the one I use on a daily basis is the KJV. We’re studying the Old Testament this year, so it’s fun to read. Lots of footnotes and Bible dictionary references in this edition.

[Monkey Face]

Good job!
