It has been so long since I have even considered speaking about my beliefs to anyone (and how they have helped me to deal with my addictions and mental illness), that I am afraid to share what I feel.

I hope this will change for me very quickly.

I know! I will start with my favourite scripture:

Rev 21:3-4: "Look! The tent of God is wwith mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be nor more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things will pass away."

If all the things to misquote...

Let's see if I can get it right this time:

Rev 21:3-4: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be nor more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

(only minor typos, but I just had to change them...)

It's funny that we feel so giulty about misquoting or even a little spelling error when it comes to the Bible.... I guess it's just out of respect...

Exactly TG. Thanks for understanding. And, well, I gotta admit, I just hate typos - must be a throwback thing from when I was a secretary! Oh, then there's the perfectionist thing I got going on...

Oh, yes, it is a respect thing, I'm sure. But when there are so many different publications, some set to modern English, the words will change slightly anyway. Kind of afraid to say anything...
