See, Byrd? That wasn't so hard, was it? You don't have contradict yourself to defend the Bible! (Not that part, anyway. )
I totally agree.

Re: What's your favorite canon?

Not quite sure why you imagine I contradicted myself;
All things are lawful for me; I can "murder."
I'd say the sole contradiction lies in defining
"murder" as diff from "killing" here,
for your obviously deviant purposes.

You say you would not bet your life on this,
but you have.
All that matters to me at the end of the day is
which of us will have to explain.

Lol, by saying that to a normal Christian, they are contradictory?
Ok. Hey, I only have to defend my premises.

Re: What's your favorite canon?

My answer to the original question... I am ok with the current KJV Bible personally. I do believe, however, a book not in the Bible, the Book of Jasher has historical significance and is referenced in the Bible, too. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has the Book of Enoch in it, which I have not read... but, that I want to just because I read a fictional book that dealt with it... I don't believe in the Book of Enoch, though.
Some books that are not Canonized in the Protestant Bible... that may be in other versions, though not meant to be scripture, do have some historical insights and some good knowledge in them.
Also, we focus too much on the epistles and letters and not enough on the direct words of Jesus! Or, on the words of the prophets and Old Testament... I do believe the epistles are scripture, however, and divinely lead... And, that a lot of our Christian books we have now are not scripture, but divinely lead... But, in all of this, there are some junk books... Not in the Bible... but in some of the gnostic gospels and similar things.

Thanks for posting.

Would you mind clarifying "I don't believe in the Book of Enoch"? I'm guessing that you mean it isn't inspired and infallible, and that it doesn't belong in the Bible. Is that correct?

Re: What's your favorite canon?

Ok, and since this thread came up again, I'm really trying to get
my apparent contradiction?
Does it come down to defining "murder?" (which for me,
includes stepping on ants) or am I misunderstanding
something else?

As I remem the conversation, T was, wadr,
attempting to discredit "All things are lawful for me."
