@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

@catwing Aha! So that’s what it’s called! 🙂 Have you ever tried it?

@cloudy OO! I love it!! You are really talented.
I did a shark fin, and tried that thing where you make an entire pic out of dots. (Don’t know what it’s called) I’m too lazy to upload it, although I like how it came out.

@Emma-Flournoy ‘kay. 🙂

@Daeus I’ll also review it when it comes out.

@xonos-darkgrate I really, really like the excerpt you posted. The voice is very strong. The one criticism I have is that the summary of his early life never really clearly transitioned into the present. He was looking back, and I never quite caught where he stopped and began living the current story.
And I’m already curious about Brandon. 😉

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

@christi-eaton *stares* SO COOL.

@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?

@kballen Because you wouldn’t dare not like chocolate. 😉

Myers Briggs is an excellent theory on personality types that divides people into 16 different archetypes and defines how their brain works and how they generally act. You can take a free test to determine your type here: https://www.16personalities.com

Hi @kballen! You’ve found the Kingdom of Pen. We’ll have to give you a cloak and a bar of chocolate.

Btw, do you happen to know your Myers Briggs type?

@xonos-darkgrate awesome! INTJs and INTPs both are so cool. 😀 I’m an INFP myself.

@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!

@emma-flournoy It hasn’t changed very much. Mostly it’s just been clearing up confusing parts and improving the prose.
