Which brand of chrisitianity is the best? Why?

Interesting Astral, I never knew that is what it meant.

The book of Mormon, or that church tells us the Catholic Church is going to the wrong path, that is why the book of Mormon is revealed. As it was said by Joseph Smith.

Can you explain to me in the book of revelation about Philadelphia?

best?

I am not understanding what you mean? I have not fully managed to understand all of Revelations.

Are you refering to Chapter 3:7~12?

Philedelphia if I am not mistake is refering to an area near palestine/Isreal or some other place close to that… not geographically certain.

To be a Christian is to become a Jew. So yes… being a Jew is not necessarily a blood lineage. It is also to be a servant of Christ. Whats all in a name right? So Jews who do not believe in Christ are not really Jews and those who do are the true Jews. Those are the ones I am willing to bet are of the Church of Philadelphia and will be saved from the hour of temptation.

But hey… as I have said… I not too sure about this… so dont run around quoting me on it or anything… This is just a preliminary thought. Feel free to shoot any holes you can find in it. It will help me to understand.

  • forgot to add… yes there may indeed be the 7 specific churches… but it does not mean that a Church in some other place does not fall under the category. These I am sure are using these 7 churches as models and in some manor filing all the other churches under one of the 7 categories and kinda judging them lump sum style perhaps. Once again… speculation but I’m kinda on the sure side or it at least seems reasonable to me so far.

The Brand that is immune to freezer burn of course. Cause nothing is worse then freezer burn!! :astonished:

Yes that is what I am refering. Then why does my bible says Philadelphia, not Philedelphia? Where does the name come from? The invention of William Penn or is it some sort of prophecy?

There is an old place named philadelphia around there. Perhaps the letter a instead of e is a clerical error? Names change slightly on occasion.

Take Palestine for example… that is Philistine. It got changed my some prick with power who didnt like the pronunciation… or so I have heard.

And about Bibles… unless you are reading the original untranslated scriptures, I would recommend sticking with the King James version. Its bad enough having been translated into engrish… already knowing that people piss on the language and create slang, and outright missuse words ultimately changing their meanings. When this happens translations of things get more and more inaccurate on top of how hard it is to make 2 different languages match!

What so good about King James version?

Most scholars agree that it is the closest most accurate translation. Which is why you find it being the dominant translation in Use.

I have already seen large changes in the bible with other translations… the meanings of things are changed. And that is a terrible situation to be in. How would you like to be given bad information? Some questionable clerical errors and a couple of misstranslations are mentioned in the King James Version. But the general consensus has been that they are not significant enough or often enough to go on a tangent about.

This does not mean that ALL other translations are worthless I simply want to warn people to be at least suspicious of the quality first.

Coca-Cola! Why? It’s brought nothing but love! [size=75]…and all those other sweet sweet things…[/size] :smiley:

And diabetes.

It is possible that King James is the most accurate translation, it is possible it is still with flaws.

Since the majority or scholars believe, it is no doubt you also are a sheep.

Nothing can be accurate except ye be the founder or author himself.

I’ll leave what information I have, if I happen to look further, then nature will take its effect.

thank you for some insights of the revelation though. :laughing:

Ha ha… you obviously failed to understand I have already mentioned that the King James version already has errors in its translation. Remember being the closest does not mean 100% accurate. It only means the closest. And since I dont know how to read the original language I have no other choice than to rely upon many of the others accessments.

This hardly makes me a sheepish person. I exist within my limits just as you do. And for you to make such a comment only shows your ignorance.

Also I would like to point out something else. The bible is not what imparts Wisdom. It is merely a guide. But hey… if you really knew so much you would have already known this right?

The bible can withstand some errors and poor translations so long as they relegate to just minor clerical errors. But massive changes like the socalled New International type or those teenage types appear to change a lot of content and do infact change the meanings. A translation from english to engrish is very bad.
