Have you heard of the surviving love letters between James and the Duke of Buckingham? Fairly enthusiastic and frequent ‘practice’, by the sound of it. I wonder what would happen if you started reciting the one that contains the bit about ‘longing to hold your legs in my hands again’ to the average KJV only-er?
This is proof positive of the idiocy of King James Only-ism!
I’m thinking this young man is aspiring to fill Peter Ruckman’s shoes sometime soon (that old fart’s still alive, isn’t he?). Or perhaps he desires to be Fred Phelps’ successor as pastor of Westboro Baptist Church?
First of all, unless if he has about $95 USD to fork out on a Bible, I doubt that he has the 1611 KJV. Second of all, although the KJV is a good translation of the Bible for the time period, I personally think that the Bible should be written in the language of the people (as did the Bible translators of the 16th and 17th century believed). If people can read and understand the KJV, fine, let them use it. However, the credibility of a Bible is linked to a comparison of the manuscripts in the original languages instead of who published it.
Every character in any Christian book or movie must act like a Christian. Even the murdering, raping, and pillaging villains must never be seen to curse or fornicate. […]
Anything can be rationalized if you claim that doing otherwise will cause souls to end up in hell (no matter how illegal, immoral, or downright silly that thing may be). […]

Poor kid’s been brainwashed.
