@rolena-hatfield No problem. I don’t really want to leave this lovely place….
@aratrea I was wondering if I should’ve asked you.

@the-real-kapeefer Dude? Seriously? Don’t do that to me again. I wrote a page long rant on why not to use the message bible because of you. 😛
Ah well. I was able to apply my biblical doctrine class to all this, sooo…

And can I please point out that one verse.

John 1:14 rewrite : “The word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood.”
XD

@cloudy, Aye! It’s not my favorite, but I did have to go with the underwater theme today. It was good practice though, even if I find it is slightly too messy for my taste. 🙂

@joy-schmidt Hey! Another thing I just thought of today… you know how you like to be satisfied, and how finishing the planning does that for you. Well, my ultimate satisfaction from writing is word count. I’ve been keeping a journal of how many words I’ve written for each of my writing sessions, and keeping track of how many words a day I write…[Read more]

“The Message is not a translation, nor can it strictly be said to be a paraphrase of the original languages of the Bible.” gotquestions.org

Before I go on a rant of my opinions of the Message bible… @rolena-hatfield Does it go against the forum rules to talk about this? Rule one, to be exact? I just want to make sure…

@jess-penrose Agreed. KJV is accurate, and although no extremely literal to the Greek, it is still as we say, accurate. I use ESV and KJV and NKJV, and although they aren’t the same, they are all correct in biblical doctrine.
@the-real-kapeefer

Oh, and also, a few differences in the wording of a section of the bible does not change the story.

@the-real-kapeefer

@the-real-kapeefer Nooo… You do know that the KJV is one of the most accurate and to-the-text-bible translations we have, right?

@xonos-darkgrate I feel you. I just have so many worlds swirling around in this head of mine just waiting to be dumped onto a blank page. 😜

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have read The Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen and I loved it!!

@kballen
Hello and welcome! YAS!!! Harry Potter! *virtual high-five* Best. Books. Ever. (Besides all the other ones.) Do you happen to know what house you’re in?
All you gotta do for emojis is just make the little faces with your keyboard. : ) (without the space) will give you 🙂 .
Anyway, have a great time on KP!

@kballen Welcome! I’m glad you made your way here! I’ve been with Kingdom Pen for about a year and half now and I really have to say it’s a great place as you will hopefully figure out. (I’m totally not biased or anything 😉 ) I have yet to actually read Harry Potter (not enough time in the day I’m afraid,) but I really do love the movies. How did…[Read more]

@amy-l-klob Welcome to our fine community! I love seeing all of the new faces. It is really great! Hope you have a wonderful time here.

@xonos-darkgrate Well, it looks like you’ve already been pretty properly introduced around this fair kingdom. But I figured I might as well stop and say hello and welcome. Glad to have you here. Seems like you’ve already been having some fun discussions. I’m glad to see it. 🙂

@epicaddie2 If you want action stories, go the Bible. 😀 We did Judges a few summers ago in my youth group, and I’m glad we did. 🙂

Whoopsy. @xonos-darkgrate

@xonos-darkgate
Hello and welcome to the bestistiestistist place on the internet! Do you have a WIP (Work In Progress)? If so what’s it about? (Nice poem, by the way.)

@the-real-kapeefer He’s not made up or fake. He was a real judge in the book of Judges, that God used to save His people from oppression.

Judges 3:14-23
So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a…[Read more]
