Someone told me,'DON'T PUT A PERIOD WHERE GOD HAS PUT A COMMA."  What does this mean?

It means don't ever stop giving up on the Lord to me. My grand mother told me this: There is a devil there is no doubt, but is he trying to get in, or is he trying to get out.\n\nThis means something to me. For me, it is my responsibility to make the connection with God each and everyday. The only way I have found to do that, is through daily prayer and mediation, and that is the connector. Good deeds are not enough for me. I am also responsible for my own happiness, and I have never found it, other than through spirituality, and the connection with my Lord.

A Friends Prayer: May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day and may their arms be too short to scratch..... Amen --------------------------------   (i don't remember where i received this quote from but thought it was funny)

I would warn anyone who says that it should be literal.\n\nWe don't sell our daughters into slavery (or at least we shouldn't - those on the Jerry Springer Show might)\n\nAlso, Jesus says "If your right eye offends you, and causes you to sin, pluck it out, for it is better to enter the Kingdom of Heaven blind than not at all".  Do you really think that he meant that literally?   If so, then Christians would be a bunch of blind people (he says a similar thing about your arms and tongue).\n\nThere are parts that are literal, and parts that are figurative.  Best judgement will generally tell you which is which.

Are you sure about the quotation? I don't recognise it. The closest I can get is: \n"God may forgive you but I won't\nYes, Jesus loves you but I don't"\n\nThat's from the song "God may forgive you but I won't", as far as I know originally sung by Rosie Flores.

As you point out, there is no punctuation in the original Greek; therefore, any and all punctuation has to be deduced from the text and from the Bible.\n\nThe verse in question, from the KJV, says the following:\n\n(Luke 23:43 KJV)  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.\n\nSo, as has been mentioned above, Jesus was not in "paradise" on that day.  So, if we keep the punctuation as the KJV has it, then you make Jesus a liar.\n\nBut Lawrence, you say, why did the KJV translators, or whomever, put the comma there?\n\nVery good question.\n\nChristiandom, at large, as the common belief that when one dies, they receive their reward immediately, either heaven or hell.\n\nSince Jesus was the most righteous man ever to live on earth, then certainly *He* would go immediately to heaven.\n\nBut did He?  No, He himself says on resurrection morning that He had not gone to the Father yet.  He did not have a conscious experience during the time He was dead.\n\nSo, if He didn't go to paradise on that Friday, why would He declare to the thief that the thief would be with Him?\n\nAgain, because of the common belief that when one dies, one receives his/her reward.  That is the *only* reason that comma is there.\n\nSo you either have Jesus a liar, or minimally, you have a verse that doesn't make sense.\n\nSo, how can it be made sensible?\n\nBy changing the comma to after "today," like this:\n\n(Luke 23:43 KJV)  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee To day, shalt thou be with me in paradise.\n\nDoes that now make sense?  Yes, Jesus said "To day" that the thief would be with Him in paradise.\n\nSo it is a very simple case of allowing the scriptures to interpret itself.  Having agreed to the fact that the KJV makes, or perpetuates, the error, I would like to say that by and large, the KJV is extremely faithful to the Greek and Hebrew.\n\nLawrence\nhttp://www.truebiblesermons.com

It means the obvious, but first go back to 24:9. The next step  is for believers to be rounded up and some killed. Note!  I did not say "Christian" It is among them that we find those making the "800-call-Satan" to report you..yes, from your own house and church.  I do not go by "Christian" I am a member of the Messiah's flock. I hear his voice and to a stranger I will not listen

It means a quotation or saying

There is no period after the middle initial S, it should read\n Harry S Truman was a great president.\n\nThe S did not stand for anything, therefore it is not abbreviated and does not need a period.

Apology accepted.\n\nI commend you.\n\nNext time you get upset at hearing that you are going to hell,\n\nGet mad at God, and talk to Him about it.\n\nWe are just repeating what God told us, and we just happen to believe Him!!!

I don't understand why Topher used quotation marks over the word  "tolerates."  It almost implies sarcasm.  I feel that they say they tolerate, then quietly go back into their "houses of the Lord" and laugh all the way to heaven, thinking they know the "true" path.

Cursed..the word is cursed... "god must hate me, cursed me for eternity. god must hate me, maybe you should pray for me, i'm breaking down and you can't save me, stuck in hell and, i wanna go home.."

These aren't errors, exactly, unless you're so fundamentalist that you take every single word literally. \n\nPeople today have expressions that aren't meant to be taken literally - including "to the four corners of the earth." (For example, "You're driving me crazy." Literally, this implies that I'm being driven, that I'm not already crazy, and that I'm a qualified mental health professional who can diagnose 'crazy' when I see it.)\n\nWhen certain verses appear to be incorrect, read them in context and then find other verses about the same topic to be sure how they should be interpreted. Anyone can pick a verse and question it's accuracy. For example, you could combine "Judas went and hanged himself" with "Go and do thou likewise" and come up with a pretty twisted doctrine! But is that how these verses were meant to be understood? I don't think so.

"Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." Exodus c20 v12\n\nDo what your mom tells you. LOL

When I was really young, my mom told me this indentation was caused from Jesus putting his finger on my lips and saying Shhhhhhh.....meaning, don't tell anyone what you learned about and saw while I was with him in heaven before I was born :)

The first one implies God needs to love you even if you are to dumb to know it. The second implies he already does and you are being informed of the fact.\n\n\nSub-teacher for many years. Not any more cause God love me I quit.

Example two, because the period is to denote the end of the sentence.  The two words and the parenthesis are part of the sentence, so the period has no choice but to go on the outside.

"Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: \n       Do not arouse or awaken love \n       until it so desires. "\n\nIn this passage, this is spoken by the beloved (the woman) and is a word of advice to her sisters (other women) that Love will come in time according to God's will and can not be forced or manipulated.
