A person who is truly comfortable with their beliefs doesn't require the agreement or approval of others, and has nothing to prove to anyone.
Uh, yep.
I think we all need an education and I'm glad Jon Dough is here to provide it.

Well put ATJ!
Here's my favorite quote on the subject from the movie Dogma
Rufus: He still digs humanity, but it bothers Him to see the shit that gets carried out in His name - wars, bigotry, televangelism. But especially the factioning of all the religions. He said humanity took a good idea and, like always, built a belief structure on it.
Bethany: Having beliefs isn't good?
Rufus: I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier. Life should malleable and progressive; working from idea to idea permits that. Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth; new ideas can't generate. Life becomes stagnant. -

I have presented it here many times. The King James Version is based on the MAJORITY TEXT (99%) agreement. The modern versions and NWT are based on Wescott/Hort ie...Sinaiticus - Vaticanus, which differ from the Textus Receptus as well as between themselves. Do your own research and decide which manuscripts are valid.
Keep in mind that Fred Franz was a colllege drop-out with virtually no education in biblical languages. Also, keep in mind that the first question ever asked in the bible was asked by the devil and was, "Hath God said?". And what he said God said....wasn't what God said!
SCRIPTURE KJV NASB NIV NWT 1 Cor. 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. the first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.
