Originally posted by Rishodi: You speak the truth, though your statement was somewhat disorganized. As for the part I bolded - I just wanted to point out that Constantine came quite some time after the 1st century. Anyway, what belief set do you hold a claim to?
Your quite right. What I meant was the people that still believed as the 1st Century Christians did. Sorry for the mix up. I'm Christadelphian and you've probably never heard of it.
BTW: the king james version is highly INaccurate. If you look into the actual languages, some things have been added to make the bible appear to agree with christianity at large. I have a book, called the Dialglott, that is a exact greek to english translation of the new testament and another book, don't remember exactly what it's called, that is an exact hebrew/chaldean to english translation of the old testament. You would be surprised at how inaccurate the king james, nkjv, etc... is/are. Another good tool for biblical study is a concordance, whether it be Strong's or some other author. They take the words in the references and show you what hebrew/greek (depending on which testament it is) word it actually is and gives you the exact meaning.
I had never heard of the Emphatic Diaglott until tonight. And I just did a quick search on google. Jehovah's Witness! I'll do a little more research. If the Jehovah's Witnesses emphasize it, then that pretty much seals it as a moot point in my book. Jehovah's Witnesses have messed with the Bible text left and right.
If I'm wrong (about this being a Jehovah's Witness thing) let me know. If you want to discuss Jehovah's Witness and Christianity, then start another topic. As for the Emphatic Diaglott, it's considered MOOT in my point of view...
As for being Christadelphian? If you believe the Bible is exact (except for Copy and Translation errors) then do you speak, read and write Greek and Hebrew? Does everybody in your religion?
