Should ? I understood you just ordered me, as if it were a rule. I have checked the rules before so as not to break them in ignorance. Why could I not find this rule in the Code ?

As God is our witness, I only post the KJV.

I’m not the only one reviewing posts here. Include the source reference, book, chapter verse - even if quoting the KJV.

Well, it's not as if you haven't been asked nicely a few dozen times. :o)

Is it that big of a burden, really? Everyone else that cites Scripture in their posts doesn't seem to have a problem with including the reference. I just think it's being courteous, but that's me.

I have noticed that it is RCs who typically give the RMs the most resistance when told to do something the RM judges is wrong or is reasonable, and this certainly is the latter at least. But like father, like son.

It is true that the Bible did not always have chapter and verses*, but in ancient times there were no house numbers either, but both are great helps and it is very reasonable to supply them, which you have been recalcitrant is refusing request to do so even before the RM stepped in.

If you want people to learn then you would give the address to what you are quoting, while to paste even public domain material without attribution is not a good practice to be encouraged.

But why would you post a translation Rome at one time forbid, and your bishops still do not approve of? Do you like it more than your approved NAB? Or is it the copyright issue? If doing so in condescension to Prots, then it is inconsistent to not provide the addresses.

*Stephen Cardinal Langton (c. 1150 – 9 July 1228), an Archbishop of Canterbury, is credited with having divided the Bible into the standard modern arrangement of books and chapters used today.

Frenchman Robert Estienne (1503-1559), also referred to as Robert Stephens, a Catholic who became a Protestant late in his life, is credited with being the first to print the Bible divided into standard numbered verses.
