Oh, and if he has PTSD does he get to have a Labrador follow him everywhere? 😀 😉

@raevynstar Ooh! He does sound like a great character. For someone who controls fire, he doesn’t sound like very much of a fighter, which I think is great, because when someone thinks fire, they think of a fighter. Nice and unique, that one. *thumbs up*
If you want to improve him, I’d discover some of his quirks. What does he do when he’s…[Read more]

@raevynstar Ah, hiatus. I suppose those are good from time to time. What kind of sci-fi is it? (star warsy/star treky or I Robot-y or something else)?

@Kballen I’m a little late, but hopefully not by too much.

Welcome to KP! I hope you enjoy it here!

What’s your favorite food?

@raevynstar Hi! Welcome to our realm!

SCIENCE FICTION! Finally, someone else who writes sci-fi! Do you have a WIP?

@raevynstar Hi Raevyn. Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet.

It’s always cool to meet other poets out there. You’ll have to share one of your pomes with us sometime.

Btw, do you know what your personality type is?

@jess-penrose
Well, in my opinion, I wouldn’t use the Message bible because even though it is an easier version to read and uses more colloquial terms, it isn’t necessarily doctrinely ‘sound’. One verse that is extremely important to us as Christians is this “Before Abraham was, I Am.” This clearly states that Jesus is God, very important to…[Read more]

@xonos-darkgrate Yep, the narrative voice is sweet.

@jess-penrose I had no idea people raved about my books. I’ll have to write more of them. lol

@kate-flournoy Quite magnanimous of you. *bows low*

@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

@emma-flournoy Kate will get an email when the book is launched. You can upload it then.

@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 and @dragon-snapper It is totally a translation of the Bible, I have checked and it is very accurite.

@koryn-koch Wow you guys got second place in one out of the eleven different speech categories. Oh yeah, real life issues that are total practical for your everyday life like how the US should change in regards to China. I have…[Read more]

@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?

@dragon-snapper You used the KJV (blue letter bible), which is not the most literal translation of the Bible and makes several extrapolations from the actual text. I would recommend The Message Bible as it is far more literal.

@epicaddie2 Yes, I won’t know what hit me because your strikes are so weak that they produce no measurable effect on…[Read more]
