"Prove it. "

I don't need to. It's recorded fact. Just search the internet.

"I'm sorry you don't like some translations of the bible, there are many other than the King James."

I use the NASB translation. I don't use the Living Bible or the Messager.

And, no, I don't believe the best way to spread the gospel is to conduct focus groups to find out what people need. It doesn't fit the "deny yourself and take up your cross" model in my mind.

Aw c'mon Harley. You can do better than that. There's a lot of recorded "facts" on the Internet.

You can increase the size of your...um...part...you can "lose weight now, ask me how"....you've got money coming...all 67 GPRLs (give or take a few) just upgraded to paid member status...

Even if you are right, just because something is "on the Internet" it is not a "recorded fact."

"I don't need to". = I can't.
Because the "facts" are opinions or do not exist.

You have lots of OPINIONS on the right and wrong way to worship. Just like everyone else.

You should know

that

the NASB, KJV etc

are full of paraphrases.

Translating well is impossible without them--particularly between two diverse cultures greatly distant in time.
