@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 ‘kay. 🙂

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

@daeus Got it. (Hear that @kate-flournoy? Lemme know when the book’s launched.)

@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. 😉

@xonos-darkgrate Oh sorry, yup, that’s basically what I meant. Are you male or female. 😛 So you’re the first INTJ/Architect (dominantly at least) guy on this forum as far as I know. That’s real cool.

Aha, gotcha.

@daeus Welp, I’d like to read it again eventually (probably sometime after it’s published and we have it…physical books are so much better. No computer screen headaches.), but I think I can go off of the last version I read for the review if that’s fine with you.
In which case, when and where do I do the review?

@salome01w4g I’m going to defer to @rolena-hatfield on that issue, since I believe she and Daeus have thought more about what sorts of discussions are allowed on the forum than I have. 🙂

One thing I will mention for both you and others’ benefit, tho, is that @the-real-kapeefer is definitely trolling you all on this (as with most things he’s…[Read more]

@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?

Welcome to the site @kballen! Glad you found us through YWW. 🙂 We love the work that Brett and Jaquelle are doing over there. Are you working on writing any stories currently? If so, what’s the story premise?

@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!!
