....but, why not? I can understand if one has not been taught the difference....alot of people haven't...in fact, most....and I would not have known, had I not run into a sermon at 'Sermon Audio'... and I started listening to more....plus I found a web-site called 'Bible Discernment'I am not a KJVOnly follower.
Hello just to say hi, I am a KJV defender. I think the reason there are not alot of posts about this lately, well I speak to soon, is that they were banned for 30 days in the Baptist Forum, things got too hot. Im not here to debate, it is a lost cause for most people on here. If people ask God with an open heart honestly wanting to know the truth without any biased perception, or willingly being ignorant, God will convinct hearts of His truth whether for or against staying with the KJV over modern translations. But you know what I believe about God and His precious Word. God Bless.

No...I think it was the 'Bible Discernment' site that caused me to listen to sermons on bible translations.

I don't mean to get too technical here, but the KJV was not inspired --- it was translated.
Inspiration, per se, ended in 96 AD, and deals only with the autographs (writings in the authors' own handwriting).
There are three methods that God used to get His Word from Heaven to your bookshelf:
- Inspiration - writing it down for the 1st time.
- Preservation - making sure it was copied correctly.
- Translation - changing it from one language or dialect to another.
I joined this forum because I saw a post by AV1611VET
....as in a dynamic equivalent?I would have thought he could have, at the very least, come up with a more original username![]()
That was my point - there's nothing wrong with using the KJV, but it is NOT the only translation a Christian can use. It is ONLY a translation. However, KJV-Only people try to say that the KJV is the ONLY true Word of God. I was just trying to show that it's not logical to think that way.
May our translations be true in letter and spirit.
Yes. Jesus is called "Τhe Word'....and He quoted the scriptures often."God is not silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second person of the Holy Trinity is called "The Word." A.W. Tozer
The ONLY reliable Word of God? Care to show me where the Geneva, Tyndale, Bishops(from which much of the KJV was taken), and various others are in error?Why do you want to take down the only reliable word we have? You are a baptist....don't you want to defend the Trinity, fulfilled prophecies, the doctrine of hell...the incarnation, and the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ?
I like the 1631!Two things I dont understand about KJVO is:
Which revision of the KJV is inspired since it was revised ten times? In 1611 or in one of the years when major/minor revisions took place?in 1613, 1629, 1638, 1644, 1664, 1701, 1744, 1762, 1769, or 1850?![]()
The KJV translators translated the Apocrypha and included these books in the original 1611 edition. If the KJV translation was inspired, does this mean that the Apocrypha is inspired by God also? And if so, why was the Apocrypha removed from later editions?![]()
I said I'm new at this...but if they are from the same manuscript line, I would guess they are good, as well.The ONLY reliable Word of God? Care to show me where the Geneva, Tyndale, Bishops(from which much of the KJV was taken), and various others are in error?
They sound alright to me....I am more Textus Receptus only than KJV only, I mean I will use the Geneva Bible of 1599 and Tyndales of 1525 but I don't think they will have many takers![]()
Will you please post some verses from these?I am more Textus Receptus only than KJV only, I mean I will use the Geneva Bible of 1599 and Tyndales of 1525 but I don't think they will have many takers![]()
