Presently, I am living with my wife in my mobile home. When I first moved in, I expressed my thankfulness of how good God is to me by placing a "Yes, Jesus loves you" sign in my front window.
When answering the phone, I thought that a "God bless you" would distinguish me from a "Hello" by a Satanist, etc. Besides all those that said, "I didn't sneeze," I thought that God could mean Allah or even Mickey Mouse. "Greetings in the Name of Lord Jesus the Christ, Mark Henninger speaking" is how I answer the phone today.
"In Swedish we have Karl XII’s Bibel from 1703, but none use this Bible. This Bible is printed with old characters, which are difficult to read," emailed Allan Svensson17 to me. Even though Allan says that none use this Bible, he does not consider it to be worthless. “It is the best Swedish Bible translation that has ever exists.” A reply was made to Allan that I could understand his problem.
When someone offered me a Spanish Bible, I took it for a friend whom I thought might be able to put it to use. She said that this Bible contained out-of-date words, but she’d translate to current language when she’d use it. An Oriental-descended acquaintance has told me that such out-of-date words are found with Bibles in Japan.
From being on the Internet, I had a solution to propose to Allan. He could simply update Scripture references at his site by copying and pasting from Bible Gateway18. Versions available at this site include: New International Version (NIV), New American Standard Bible (NASB), The Message (MSG), Amplified Bible (AMP), New Living Translation (NLT), King James Version (KJV), English Standard Version (ESV), Contemporary English Version (CEV), New King James Version (NKJV), 21st Century King James Version (KJ21), American Standard Version (ASV), Worldwide English (New Testament) (WE), Young's Literal Translation (YLT), Darby Translation (DARBY), Wycliffe New Testament (WYC), and the New International Version - UK (NIV-UK).
With a potential of multitudes, I started soliciting people that signed the guest book of my web page19 for a ringsurf.com web ring, pcchristians, “pc” standing for progressive, conservative. This description was chosen to agree with the Apostle Paul’s description of himself in Philippians 3:12-1420.
My niece used expage.com to make a web page. With my basic web design experience, I used this simple tool to start a site for pcchristians21. Two beliefs are what were to be required: We all agreed that we believe: 1) Jesus is God. 2) The Word of God is relevant yesterday and today and forever. Since, I have added “not just a god” to #1. There were not any problems evident, but I wanted that distinction made.
Problems were with #2. 3 of 5 original members left because of this. The Reverend of the group would not update the word “liveth” at his site. He said that it was not so much the words as the meaning. But words without meaning are gibberish, not the Word of God.
pcchristians say, "Hit the road, Thou. Make room for I AM." Who is personal in your life?

20- NKJV, Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
