Taking Up His Cross

I finally got around to finishing a paper I started a few years ago, at least for now. The idea came from a video I saw on youtube a few years ago of a discussion by a noted KJV Onlyist going off about the translation of Mark 10:21 and how she felt modern versions got it all wrong. I discuss that at length, or at least further than I originally intended. That aspect has spurred some further reading I am doing regarding Bible version reliabiltiy and the KJVO movement. IMHO it is beginning to die out somewhat in independent fundametal baptist circles, but it is still something to contend with.

Anyway, the paper then goes on to discuss the topic of taking up his cross following a brief exegesis of the passage in Mark. It has been an interesting study which I may continue a bit further at some point. It is one of those studies like Philemon, that when you think its been nailed pretty well, around the corner you find something new about it. Enjoy!!!

Codex Sinaiticus Now Online!

I had read this was a project in the works for quite sometime, but now is online for the general public. It can be accessed here. It offers the ability to view the original document, its transcription and its translation on the same web page view. Enjoy!
