It is written:\nOnly "mercy" is obtainable at the "throne of grace",\nand God said: "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice".\n\nBut hey, if there is no respect of persons with God,\nI'd better want it for all, not just for myself only,\nespecially if a PS to forgive us as we forgive others\nsays if you don't forgive men, you don't get forgiven.\n\nOr else God might then also say to me\nyou too can bend over & dble kiss cheri bums bye bye,\nas a little leaven(law law) leaveneth(laws) the whole lump.\n\nThe God of all grace make you perfect\n(after ye suffer awhile in yer law law)\n\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Actually the laws that were done away with are the "laws contained in ordinances".\nSite:\nhttp://community.webshots.com/photo/80628344/2012353330047993148Lqpai\n\nMany people confuse these with the Seventh Day Sabbath and Sabbath Feast Days.\n\n\nThe Laws Contained in Ordinances = Eph.2:15 & Col.2:15\n**It seems that most believe these two texts are saying that the Sabbath and/or Sabbath Feasts are done away with. Let me ask you a question: who wrote these books; wasn't it Paul? Paul kept the Sabbath (Acts 17:2) & Sabbath Feasts (Rom.5:11) like Jesus; then these texts must not be talking about that, when the Bible says to follow Jesus (Col.2:6) and the Apostles (Eph.2:20). If you believe the Bible is inspired (2Tim.3:16) & is the truth (John 17:17); continue on!\n**If everyone read the Bible clearly on these matters like Jesus did; then they're wouldn't be false interpetations! The Bible says in Colossians 2:16-17 "Let no man therefore judge you....which are a shadow of things to come" inwhich Jesus showed openly.\nIt explains some of these ordinances in Colossians 2:20-22 "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?"\nNow Hebrews 9:9-13 explains it more! \nSee: Heb.9:10 "Which stood only in meats and drinks, and diverse washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation."\nThe other part to this about "judging on the Sabbath,...etc." are in: \nMark 2:23-28; 7:2-23; Luke 13:10-16; 14:1-3 & John 5:8-10; 7:23-24.\nNotice in every matter; the Pharisees thought it was wrong to eat with unwashed hands, to heal on the Sabbath, helping out people/animals on the Sabbath as other things; but Jesus always came back with Bible answers to them!\nSo what is actually done away with is "the judging of these days" and the animal sacrifices!

I Corinthians 10:12 \n\nAnd so finally after many more months of work, all the sages came back to him, and they had come to a unanimous conclusion that the wisdom of the world could be put into a four-word sentence. They told the king that this sentence expresses much. It is chastening in the hour of pride and consoling in the depths of afflictions. And I've reflected on this sentence this week. The sentence of their wisdom was: "This too shall pass."

The context in Luke is putting anything above God in your life. If you do that you are not worthy of Him. You have to hate everything in your life compared to Him. That's what it is saying. It has no connection with the Law in Exodus....   Jim

The Bible, Ecclesiastes 7:5 (Today's English Version)\n\nTraditional (King James Version)\n[It is] better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

The word thy means your.    Thou means you.  Verily means truly.   Suffer means allow.    There are so many of these.   If you learn what these basic words mean, then the King James Version is easier to read.   The other translations become boring.    Not that they mean any different.    The word in the King James Version are more exciting.

I have understood that James was referring to the Works with the Faith as the following:\n\nA person of faith will do the works of a person of faith.\nNot charitable acts, but works of prayer, fasting, congregation and of course charity.  I'm not here to talk about cahtolicism, but, most cahtolics I know, live worldly lives, and go confess every sunday of their sins.\n\nthey don't kill, they don't use God's name in vain, they don't steal, they don't lust, however, some do not pray as they should, or use their body of live sacrifice to God in Fasting, and reading the scriptures. Most still live wordly lives and those are not the works that God wants from us.  He wants us to SERVER HIM, PRAISE HIM, AT ALL TIMES GOOD TIMES OR BAD TIMES, WE MUST PRAISE HIM, GLORIFY HIS NAME.\n\nIf I am at the club with a drink on Saturday night I am worshipping the Devil, then go to MASS on Sunday and ask for forgiveness, does that make me a person of faith?\n\nMy faith does not encourage me of having works and no faith, or having faith and no work, they both go together, by my works they see the fruit of the harvest and know that my faith us true.\n\nGod Bless,

There are a lot of good suggestion already written here, and frankly I don't think which version you use will make a lot of difference when you read it. It may down the road when you start to study and look for teaching in it. Then you will want to get an accurate version and stay away from paraphrases versions like the NIV.  The important thing is that you allow God to teach you while you read. In James 1:5 it says, "...if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." This is a promise from God that if you ask Him He will give you wisdom as you read. So, when you read it, pray in your heart and ask God to open it up to you. It is a spiritual book and needs the Spirit of God to direct you.

You are not completing these scriptures. Matt: 5:22  reads However, I say to YOU that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice; but whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the Supreme Court; whereas whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Ge·hen′na.\n\nGehenna was a waste heap outside of Jerusalem where the bodies of the dead criminals were burned. This is one of the reasons that man has taught a hell fire doctrine.  Which is not true by the way.  Jesus is talking about non believers and what might happen to them.  Not that it will.  It says liable (or deserving).\n\nMatt: 23:17 Fools and blind ones! Which, in fact, is greater, the gold or the temple that has sanctified the gold?  Meaning spiritual laws or the one who made the laws.  The Jews of Jesus time put more emphasis on obeying the Mosaic laws rather than showing love.  God commands love before the law.\n\nPsalm 14:1The senseless one has said in his heart:\n“There is no God” They have acted ruinously, they have acted detestably in [their] dealing.There is no one doing good. \n\nPeople that claim there is no God are doing so to sooth their consciences.  So they say in their heart "there is no God" and they act detestably in their dealings.\n\nWhy are these contradictory?

King James (the man, not the version) had scholars that had more and better access to the best codex manuscripts of the time.  MUCH better than Wycliffe had.  That's almost 300 years.  Think about how LONG that is!!\n\nHonestly, there has been much better scholarship and many more archaeological discoveries since 1611 that make King Jimmy's version a bit dated.\n\nThe NEW King James reflects these findings.  The Revised Standard is also a better choice.\n\nANY version but the New International (NIV).  That's my only rule for the folks in my parish.
