John 3:16
**John 3:16 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**
```Dust
<16> "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. ```
This is the best verse
AMEN
Yes
Let’s see for differences
John 3:16
**John 3:16 - King James Version (KJV)**
```Dust
<16> For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ```
"Instead of the cross, its symbol was the orb of the sun in the form of a sun cross and in principle it was the elevation of the Nordic race, a rejection of divine revelation, and the promotion of a German god"
ok
good
Begotten Son has a better sound to it
but there was a substantial amount of positive christians or supporters of positive christianity in the NS government, yes?
only begotten doesn't really make the meaning of monogenes clear
@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] in what ways is the KJV unreliable as you never really went in depth of it
"Once I have settled my other problem," [Hitler] occasionally declared, "I'll have my reckoning with the church. I'll have it reeling on the ropes." But Bormann did not want this reckoning postponed ... he would take out a document from his pocket and begin reading passages from a defiant sermon or pastoral letter. Frequently Hitler would become so worked up ... and vowed to punish the offending clergyman eventually ... That he could not immediately retaliate raised him to a white heat
-from Inside the Third Reich by Speer
it's a memoir and a primary source
and it's corroborated by Goebbels' diaries
"They attempted to separate Nazi officials from church affiliations, banning nativity plays and calling for an end to daily prayers in schools."
My brother got a really nice Bible for his confirmation, pages have gilded edges and clean sheets along with it being the NRSV edition
I don't think they did
@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] what does religious freedom mean if the Church is forbidden from speaking its mind
I like mine for it being an heirloom
What's a really nice Bible to purchase as a gift?
or for my personal reading
DRA
Anything gilded and leather bound @Supreme Leader Kim 🧧
Don’t forget the book mark tassel
@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] if the Church is forbidden from reading a Papal encyclical that condemns the Nazi government then there is no religious freedom
not where it matters
This is my brother’s
before the war
Revised edition is labeled on inside cover
@PainSeeker5 nice. I like gilded pages / leather as well.
if criticizing the regime is against the law then the Church does not have the freedom it needs
Mit brennender Sorge was criticism of the Nazi regime
a piece of paper shielded liberals and jews from being arrested?
Good thing churches don´t equate to the word of God.
