I think the answer to the OP's riddle hinges on the word "like". AV has drank beer many times, but has never drank anything else; therefore he doesn't know what beer tastes like, because he has nothing to compare it to. He's quite the party animal.
I've drank beer before ... many times
Yet I don't know what beer tastes like.
Can you make sense of this?
What are you talking about?Ah, so instead of having a legitimate medical condition, you used semantics to hide the truth and distort reality.
I should've figured.
What are you talking about?
It was a mental exercise.
If I wanted to hide the truth, I wouldn't have given the answer.
Oh my! Taking inventory I find that I am completely out of beer and Scotch, and very low on Gin. Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the package and liquor stores. I think I'll go Sunday after church.
You could just save time and skip church... just sayin'
It's beer vs root beer.I confess I have not read the entire thread, and I suppose I am coming across as somewhat snobby, but... There's beer (Like the US Budweisser and Coors) and then there is beer (Like for example Ola Dubh 18 or Dark Island Reserve). There are so many tastes it is impossible to tell what beer tastes like. It depends on the beer.
I believe the term you're looking for is riddle.More like mental gymnastics.
It's beer vs root beer.
I've had root beer before, but I've never had alcoholic beer.
Jesus turned water into wine, not wine.
Now you know why I'm KJVO.That is what it says in the original greek, plain as day.
What text?So not only does the language of the text prove your interpretation wrong,
AV has his own interpretation of the Bible. If he does not like what it says he will retranslate it so that it does.
In other words he translates wine to be grape juice since people can get intoxicated on wine. It does not matter that from context it is clear that the verse is referring to alcohol filled wine, he can't have his god supplying such pleasure.
Any words that make his interpretation look bad mean something different than the standard definition.I wonder if there are any other words that don't meant what they mean, in the KJVAAV?
