Thou must worshippeth in thine own house only. Doest not build for thine ownself a building to worshippeth in and lo, thou shalt surely do well

Prax, we've been e-friends for a long time. So I say this with only the best intentions...

I still think you need to quit being a-feared of the good ole King James.

Im not a feared of it :-). I can't stand it as a translation. It's old and outdated language that few understand and many people wrongly believe they DO understand it.

That's weird. All my kids were raised on it, and neither they nor I have any big trouble understanding the English used therein.

Of course, we also prefer pre-20th century authors as far as their style and depth of intellectual content, but hey that's just us.

I do not like the KJV. It is antiquated. But it is easy to read.

Not everyone understands it. I have met people that rejected the NIV because they render

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

to say

John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

The point of contention is that (to them) being MADE free and SET free have different meanings.

If thine family and thy can understand the language of Gondor, thou can understand thine version of the holy writ as scribed by King James.

Most people I personally know don't.

I'll give an example

Php 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Many believe that word conversation is how we use it today...two people dialoging

Php 1:27 Only let your conduct be as becomes the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you, or else am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

πολιτεύω
politeúō; fut. politeúsō, from polítēs (G4177), citizen. To live as a free citizen. In the NT, a pass. deponent politeúomai, to be a citizen of a state, to live as a good citizen, to conduct oneself according to the laws and customs of a state. It generally means to live or to order one's life and conduct in accordance with a certain rule. With an adv. in Phi_1:27, to behave worthily of the gospel. With a dat. in Act_23:1, to live worthily of or for God or according to His will.
