  9. If I type something in Elder Futhark typeface and then copy and paste it into the Full Editor on the ulc forum, does it add it too the fonts list? Blessings of Peace,
  10. Douay-Rheims says: Mat 6:32 For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. Int'l Standard says: Mat 6:32 For it is the gentiles who are eager for all those things. Surely your heavenly Father knows that you need all of them! NIV says Mat 6:32 For the pagans run after these things and your heavenly Father knows that you need them! ASV Mat 6:32 For it is the unbeliever who seeks these things. Surely your heavenly Father knows that you are in need of all of them! So perhaps this is a small example of why I have the views I do, as Strong's puts the orig Hebrew as meaning "foreigner*", not heathen, pagan or gentile. If at random, one verse can have so many variations...well Truth is sort of like mathematics, no matter how you calculate or write it, there is only ONE answer. I firmly believe that if "God" had written a text, no matter who translated into whatever language, it would read word for word identical. And yes, to me it does indeed matter, not just as a professed Pagan, but as one who seeks Truth. Good old Kings James had an agenda, Douay-Rheims had an agenda, the creators of the NIV, ASV and RV all had agendas ....to create a work, call it the "Word directly from God" and then dispense their brand of judgment upon those who did not cow-tail to their brand of indifference and intolerance. Goodness, at least the Pagans (Teutonics) and the Heathens (Celts/Gauls) had a code of Ethics! But of course, that is simply my uneducated, purely layman's point of view! Blessings of Peace, *specifically a type of person "foreign to the Laws of Moses".
  11. Some peoples sez it turible to mark in dem books, other peoples sez it ok, I callz it "stud ee en"! But I do have copies that are pristine, however those look sorta funny to me. I would NEVER do such a thing to something like your Longfellow or similar collectables Bro Sky, such as a few I have, but off the shelf, retail store bought, still in print editions like these...highlight, underline and use! My NIV Disciple's Study Bible, with Concordance, Historical Summaries, Annotations, and the 27 Doctrines of the Evangelical and my Rune-Gild's "Book of Troth" by Edred Thorsson..... A bit of the inside of the NIV.... A bit of the inside of the BoT, which has been ravaged by water, (earthquake damaged -water heater fell over dousing a whole shelf of books) fire (one of a few things saved when my trailer house went up like a match) and a 2 year old of a friend (probably as much damage as the rest combined!)... Blessings of Peace,
  12. Once again, if we but OPEN our minds, we can see the similarities between beliefs. Rearrange a few items, replace your Hellenic names with those of the Nordic Pantheon and you basically have a Hof and Stead or Harvest ritual, which years ago I did a comparative on to the High Rites of several other pagan beliefs and found the same. Even in the "Holy Observances", especially that of the Catholic Church, there are many similarities in the procession and Workings of these ceremonies. This is why it simply baffles me that modern day folks can't seem to put down their iron age toys and get along. We're all doing almost the same things but wars, and millions have been killed over "ut-uh, uh-ha, ut-uh, uh-ha..." of Who we're naming and why we're doing so. Does anyone else think that "God", "Allah", "Zeus", "Shiva", "Odhinn", "Midas" or "The Great Spirit" might just find a bit of folly in this and tell us all to go to..... ....what was the name of that football team? That we keep our gods or God foremost in our thinking, emulate them by doing our best to follow their example, be Right with each other and do Good Works is really what is important, isn't it? Love your God/gods with all your heart and treat others as you wish to be treated...seems pretty simple to me....until we get a bunch of Self loathing bureaucrats involved! Blessings of Peace and Yes, thank you for sharing LeopardBoy.
