The watered down versions were just that to me, soggy at best. Again, it is my preference, to each his own. :)<br /><br />Treat yourself to mashed potatoes once in awhile, you'll feel better for it and not so restricted. It isn't about making yourself suffer, it's about moderation. <br />You can do it! <br /><br />*hugs*jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401569094090026684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13925627.post-78179763409460643192017-03-16T14:21:48.564-05:002017-03-16T14:21:48.564-05:00My sage advice is to keep doing what you're do...My sage advice is to keep doing what you're doing. What works must be right. :D <br /><br />As far as the KJV, well, Dr. Peter Ruckman considers it the only version in English that's blessed. He goes through other versions and points out places where they've deleted, or watered down, the Word. Changed the meaning, or Truth, to something more palatable. I don't know if 1611 English is what's clunky, or if translating Greek, Aramaic, or Hebrew into 1611 English is the problem. But I note, as many teachers have, that the letters and books were not written for the Scholars of the times. They were written for Fishermen, bakers, housewives, and others. So we should not have a very hard time understanding the Book. And only a few of the words need to be 'retranslated' into the modern English. 'Suffer' being a prime example.<br /><br />Gotta go make a salad. Rather be making mashed potatoes. *grumble whine*<br /><br />*HUGS!* :Dbenninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883327259794768568noreply@blogger.com
