Well, Russ, there is nothing more I can say to you. I also don't think there is any need for you to be so rude.

Also, not that it makes any difference, I am not a new Bible-student. I went to Sunday school as a child, been to Bible class for months before I got baptised over a decade ago, and been to Bible study since. I am also a trained professional historian and very capable of reading historical documents from the middle-ages onwards that are a lot harder to read. You mention that you read the King James version. Unless you have a degree in Early modern studies, I recommend you switch to a modern Bible, as the language then and meanings was slightly different.

If you want respect for your opinions, please don't treat everyone else like they are less intelligent. God bless you in your journey.
