Title: How many of there are you?
Post by: Mr. Anderson on October 03, 2006, 11:20:41 AM: My new health teacher was saying this today as she was talking to the off-campus classrooms. It made my ears bleed.

It took me a couple seconds to realize what she said the first time, and I figured it was just a freudian slip. Then she said it five or six more times to the other classes.

Post by: pooka on October 03, 2006, 12:29:09 PM: It took me a second to figure out what the problem was. It's like that part in the bible that says "sinnners".

Post by: Tante Shvester on October 03, 2006, 12:41:38 PM: Wait. There's a part in the bible that says "sinnners"?

Post by: pooka on October 03, 2006, 12:43:52 PM: It's a King James Version used by the LDS church, and it's in the New Testament. I believe it's the story where an adulteress annoints Jesus' hair. There is another story where Mary Magdalene annoints his hair, which is where the story that she was an adulteress got started.

Post by: rivka on October 03, 2006, 02:20:15 PM: I'm pretty sure most people who have never read even a single verse of the Bible are aware that the word "sinners" appears at least once or twice.

I'm not sure the word "sinnners" ever appears, though.

I hate you. I just spent a ridiculous amount of time finding citations with "sinners," in both Hebrew and English.

Not until I ran the spell-check did I figure out what the heck you meant. >.<

Post by: pooka on October 03, 2006, 03:57:17 PM: I have a search window open, I was working on it. Though you'd only see it in an LDS edition of the King James bible (Meaning one they compiled and printed, the translation is the same).

Luke 7:39, and it is the woman with the ointment. The phrase is "For she is a sinnner".
