"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no ficklenss, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17

Bro. Parrish,

Which version/edition? uses "fickleness"? Knowing you it has to be a KJV.

YIKES, good catch Jennifer, my apologies.
I copied the wrong "perversion" by mistake, here is the real verse:

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

My hobby is genealogy. I love searching out information about my family and where they lived in the past. I have uncovered a few interesting facts, as well as some skeletons.

I have a family tree which is populated in one branch back to 16 generations (1500s).

I love reading the generational passages in Scripture and then seing how a name pops up again farther along in the Bible.

Wow! how AMAZING that you were able to go back 16 generations in your family tree!! After I became deaf (at 22), I started getting an interest in genealogy and thought it might be interesting to do some research. I really wanted to question my 2 grandmothers (who were still alive at that point), but being deaf that was very difficult. By the time I learned sign language, well enough to utilitize an interpreter, one grandmother had Alzheimer's and that would not have been possible. She couldn't remember 5 minutes ago, much less 50 to 80 years ago... She died at 88, and my other grandma died 1 month short of her 98th birthday. That grandmother was not given to talking about the past. Then my father died last March - so pretty much all the history died with him.

Skeletons, huh? Sounds intriguing!

I hear it's somewhat costly, also, to do the research.

No problem, brother Parrish. Look at me now... I'm correcting a KJVO defender! You have created a Frankenstein.

What are your main resources? Where do you like to turn to, when trying to find information?
