And I don't want to spend 7 minutes on each verse trying to understand what it's saying

But you also lose a lot of the meaning

I don't see that to be the case

I compare with kjv

@Eoppa like how do you know what response from prayer is from god and not your own feelings?

This is the Douay Rheims version I use

KJV is weirdly worded

I know of DR version, never liked it

Duoay Rheims was made before KJV and is less hard to read as well.

Hm what?

I find kjv more understandable

> Sex is unitive and procreative, having it without one or the other is a perversion of the act and sinful.
@Eoppa eh, close enough. I'm not gonna add anything else to the convo.

Not at all emporer

And you seem unable to sift through the verses and versions, this is why we were given the magisterium, so we don't fall into error and sin.

What is the magisterium

The teachings of the Church

Catholic?

Of course

@Eoppa I found a PC case for you

Based

977 dollars tho?

Smh

Better be ordained and blessed by a priest

Still not buying it.

@Enkrum pay for it on my onlyfans

If that was an actual sword maybe

If my memory serves me right

There was a verse mentioning that unnecessary complexity is bad

That everything should be as simple as possible

*unnecessary* is key i would imagine

The complexity of the bible is necessary, there is so much doctrine and beauty in it

Reducing it for personal understanding isn't always bad

Duoay Rheims Version didn't attempt any complexity, it just went for a proper translation.

KJV perplexes me because it has language that wasn't even common nor necessary at the time

I think they were trying to make it more esoteric or royal sounding or such

If only I could speak Latin or such so I didn't have to concern myself with this

@Eoppa Hm, the issue is

One who understands the Bible in a very basic way knows, in the grand scheme of things, the same as someone who spent they're entire life studying it

Because 1 of infinity, and 1000 of infinity are still infinitely small
