Wow! Role playing & campfire stories! I was really enjoying the RPG & then it fizzled out.The campfire version does not seem as interesting. The idea that my character does not know what the other characters might say is fascinating. It's writing and acting at the same time. I like the idea ...

Weird... I did not see any threads, now I find two! Thanks, I will check them.

What I'm wondering is if this is only for posting exerpts/samples of our writing for criticism; or can we ask about getting published, online publishing, etc.? I assume that posting entire stories would be done in the Blog section? I'm new to ChristianBoard & I don't know what's expected...

Better late than never... Just think, you could start on Sept. 1st. :)

So far I have only found one thing that sounds different. I've started using two versions side by side, reading a section from Youngs Literal Translation and then the same verse from New King James. This does bring up some translation questions, but both of them say the same thing. One...

Yeah! Since I started this I have missed a couple of days, and on other days I might get one chapter read. But I'm not giving up. I've been using Bible Gateway for various translations. It's interesting to see how each one does this. It also makes the reading less repetitive. But so far I...

Thanks Glad a few of you understood what I was saying. I knew it was dangerous to mention the topic. I hoped people would see that some scripture can be interpreted in more than one way ( an aspect of the topic under discussion) ... I'm not saying my original interpretation is right, just that...

... This editor & my tablet's "keyboard" can be dangerous!! Apparently, posting is posting & editing does not change the post... I did edit my post in an attempt to be even more careful with my words. It shows up as another post?!?!? I guess I need to find the lessons on how this works...!

I don't know you well enough to know how to answer this. I was replying to a post asking about specific scripture that might be interpreted in more than one way. In case you are seriously asking, why would Jesus' return (no matter how) cause you to act differently?

Just Wondering ... Is anyone else attempting Willie T's challenge? If so, how are you doing?

First thing that comes to mind is The Rapture . ..When I read those passages I did not know they were about The Rapture. I saw them much differently. Now I can see them both ways at the same time! So, if there is a Rapture, I'm ready & if not, I'm ready for that, too! If you read it carefully...

I read this post out of context...had me wondering for a while! o_O

...Once I read a book by a former French Lutheran who had converted and become a Roman priest. I found much of the book irritating; however, I did learn some rather surprising things. More important, in reading his description of Calvin's take on St. Augustine I had a beautiful vision that...

Report on how it goes: 'not as expected'... My intent was to read one translation after another; however, I read successive chapters in random translations. I have noticed different wording and some verses that I did not know were there! That might be what Willie T was suggesting. When the...

Wow! This is the sort of thing I was seeking. Y'All got me doing a fast..now I have something specific for the fast. One question: What about the translation notes and the study notes? I'm thinking that if you change translation versions every day those notes can help. ...Ephesians sounds good...

Thanks. I looked at WordPress and other web/blog software but I didn't know how much I'd write and if it would be worthwhile. This might be a good place to start. And, yes, browsers are starting to get finicky about secure sites. FireFox, Chrome and Opera keep posting error messages that the...

NC... Where we do know why God made the sky Carolina Blue. :D ...but I lived in Florida long enough to get a speech impediment. :oops: Took me a minute to figure out that 'rpg' is 'role playing game'. I always thought 'rpg' was a computer game, like Zork only more complex. Then I saw an...

I'm jumping in here...skimmed a couple of pages of this thread. If someone made this point then consider this a confirmation :)... Fasting replaced eating with prayer & study of the scriptures . Ancient people had to take a long time to create a meal. Fasting replaces daily routine. So...want to...

Thanks Y'All for your welcome.
