Wonderful scripture - you can hit me all day long with the work of God, I rejoice! Is there a reason you use King James English?

It is what I grew up with.

Do I take it, since your immediate response was to question my faith, that you will not join me in praying for the Wimmers?

Powerful, darkly satanic forces of the foreign, and most sexually foul Mormon sort are gathering against them. Should we not offer them any protection?

Why will you not join me in prayer?

It's what I cut my teeth on, but one can take only so many 'wist thou not' phrases until the mental translation of King James authorized translation language into modern English becomes a chore instead of a joy.

THEN a person (me) will reach for a more readable and understandable version.

EXCEPT for the 23rd Psalm and a few other verses.

The newer translations may be a 'bit' more accurate there, but they SOUND awful!
