Books of the Old Testament?? Not really big believers in the old testament over this side , being brought up as Christians:
Definition: A Christian is a person who adheres to Christianity, an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who Christians believe is the Messiah (the Christ in Greek-derived terminology) prophesied in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, and the Son of God.
Jesus of Nazareth may have been prophesised in the Old Testament but his teachings have got nothing to do with the Old Testament.
NAB = New American Bible 1998? Anyway never read it, nor will I ever read it.
NLT = New Living Translation 1996? Never read it, nor will I ever read it.
Being a bit of a traditionalist there only ever was one version of the Bible - The King James Authorised Version and in that the Old Testament was only ever used as an addendum to Admiralty Signals Publications to provide Captain 'D's and Flag Officers with witty and relevant signals for every occasion.
By the way does "doomed" mean kill??
Only New testament text appears to be taken from The Epistle to the Romans
"God's death penalty" - how does this instruct anyone to kill anybody does it not mean God's penalty in death?
Still if that is what you are reading over there in the the home of the brave and the land of the free, the land of Hollywood and Walt Disney then its no bloody wonder that so many of you are so Fucked Up.
The pillocks who jumped onboard the Mayflower should have hung around over this side for a few centuries to see how it all turned out, on the religious stakes we seem to come off with the slightly saner outlook on life.
