Nope
Not when you take into account that King James brought many, of the Best scholars in,
and if you believe as I do that it was divinely inspired.
ALL things are possible through Christ.
Hmm...Agenda, anyone?

Then tell me catocom, would you agree with that statement?
Bearing in mind I am not saying all the rest is crap, merely that anything that doesnt stnad up to that standard.....Is crap!

OK, but that's what I mean catocom, Is that not the litmus test that all else should be judged by if one is truly "christian"? To me it is. To me that also means that people spouting hate and judgement on others, regardless of whether those others are right or wrong, is not acting as Jesus would have them act. If a person is "sinning" it is no excuse to hate or condemmn them, is it? Did he not also say, 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'?

I am not saying one should be perfection personified. That's a ludicrous thought. But I do believe if one is truly christian they make a sincere effort to love they neighbor. That is not to say one should condone what one believes is wrong but there is a difference between trying to correct a wrong in the spirit of love and forgiveness that Jesus taught and doing so with spite malice and hatred. (i.e. Terrorism conducted against abortion doctors. Violence perpetrated against homosexuals....etc.)

I think we're almost on the same page there.
The keyword is "neighbor"
The meaning I understand is one that doesn't know the truth, such as a child,
or one that embraces the faith.
One who Knows the truth, but rejects it, is not a "neighbor".
I don't judge on that, unless one openly embraces the contrary. (such as worship of evil)
edit: e.g. Charles Manson, is not my neighbor

There is where we disagree. Just because someone believes other than I do, doesn't give me the right to hate them. I believe that Jesus meant for us to love all our neigbors. And yes that includes Manson. That doesn't mean that tough love isn't called for. Someone such as that should be locked away from society for the good of all, but every effort should be made to help him if that is even possible. But "love" doesn't always mean to coddle someone. Sometimes it means to make the tough decisions including punishing them for crimes they commit.

do you mean THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?
sorry dude i ain't quotin' chapter and verse. too much homeowrk for me. though i do remember that part about not laying with animals er something in leviticus. but that's cool, i'm not the sheep shagger here... (prof?)
yeah prolly in context of transgression in many cases, and probably old testament when god acted like an angry adolescent, but so waht?
hey wait wifebating was pretty much legal in this country at the turn of the century when women were chattel. and not much before that slavery was okey dokey.
"wifebating." heh... that's one miskey that i'm not fixing.
at this point i forgot the point.
as you were.
If they are following the word of God....no. The answers are already set. I'm reasonaby cetain that an omniscient deity doesn't need to conduct polls.
Shrillary has said the one of her first acts as President will be to throw out Bills rules & allow homosexuals (can we stop using that stupid word GAY-are they ALL happy?) to serve openly.

Actually the book I go by does allow for Some evolution.
e.g. God granted Divorcement, were previously there was none.

Like I said. If you take things out of context, thats where you run into the problems. Take into account the bolded portion. That may be legally correct for the time, but not biblically correct.
