-Removed-Im not aware of any such thing. I cant believe that you are asking that.
Let me explain. The Septuagint and the 1611 KJV both contained certain books [now excluded from the modern KJV] and these were inspired Bibles for over 1800 years. The KJV you currently use was only in existance for about 130 yrs or so.
So is it your contention that for 1800 yrs people were using the wrong Bible and only in the last 130 yrs the correct Bible appeared?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe term "wrestling" is chosen for a reason. I think that there is nothing more exhaustive and physically demanding than to wrestle. It is a term that denotes a continuous never ending struggle, until a winner is determined. What is also interesting is that Jacob was then stricken lame at the end of the battle.
yes, but was not Israel blessed at the end of the struggle? In fact is it not true that he would not give up until he received a blessing?
This is my interpretation. We wrestle in this life in similar fashion. As we walk by faith and in prayer with God at the other end, the battle is never ending until the day we die. Even though we ultimately win, there is a price to be paid, much like Jesus referred to as "taking up your cross" implies.

It's basically the same question.
-Removed-If you say that then you have to also agree that prior to this last version coming out people read the wrong version. The Authrorised version came out in the late 1800s and it excluded a dozen or so books that was in the 1611 KJV.
So God wanted people to read the additional books at one point and then changed his mind?
