I did NOT misquote. NIV in this particular verse is right on the money.
Then look at the difference between what the NIV says and what the Original KJV says, and tell me that the NIV's translation is accurate! The NIV is a rewrite of the original...and many things were not accurate in that rewrite.
So funny that you would say that...the KJV is the original version. What could be more accurate!
KJV is the first English version. If you wanted the first, original version of the bible, you would have to learn to read Greek and Hebrew.
This conversation is becoming tedious with you just finding ways to try to discredit me. I grow tired of it, and will not respond to any more of your tiresome dribble.
What exactly do you think "putting away" means?
Malachi 2:16
New King James: "For the Lord God of Israel says that he hates divorce..."
Jerusalem: "For I hate divorce, says Yahweh the God of Israel..."
New American: ""For I hate divorce, says the Lord, the God of Israel..."
You need to withdraw your slander.
ping to 289
You would be wise to shut up and quit flaunting your arrant ignorance. You're giving Christians an undeserved reputation for stupidity in front of the whole world. The prophet Malachi spoke and wrote in Hebrew, not in 15th century English.
Did you know that there are multiple languages in the world? And that God did not give us His Word in English, but in Greek, Hebrew,and Aramaic?
You would be wise to look a little further and read post 286. I realize the original was in greek and hebrew...the KJV was the first done in English.
>>...the KJV was the first done in English.

Untrue.

This is actually a better link - Wycliffe's translation predates the KJV by 250 years.

I suspect what many here take for complacency is just acceptance of the situation, and trying to be graceful about something you alone cannot change.
I have been there, it was not my choice.
May God Bless you (both).
Keep the faith, sir, better things are in store.
I hope it all turns out well for both of you.
Don't think of this experience as an end; think of it as an opportunity to watch TV in your underwear, fart, belch and scratch, and to drink as much beer as you want.
Seriously, best of luck to both of you.
"so what do you suppose.."putting away" meant?
How about this ..."And Joseph, being a just man, thought to "put her" away privily.
The phrase refers to divorce.
The Bible also says, "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? "
I Cor. 2-3.
