Have you ever changed your view on bible translations?

Where do I get one of these "KJVO's"?

 

:laugh:

You advocate less education and are the type who doesn't want to be bothered with questions.

Why, do they also need to know the Hebrew and Greek to KNOW their version is accurate?

I like to read commentaries, too, they help me to see something I might have not otherwise and to see where so many fasle doctrines originate from the ones who made the commentaries.

 

Believe me, they're easy to read.

:applause: :laugh:

 

I really do apprecuate this poll, it confirms the words of Jesus:

Matt 7:13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Mat 7:14Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

 

(check the temp...somewhere way south just froze over)

I agree with Sal...that I view "the Message" as a commentary. Sometimes it's helpful--others, it can lead one astray. I probably wouldn't agree with him on the degree to which it has bad theology--but we do agree on the "commentary" label for it.

 

Yeah, we know where we stand and others know it too easily, while others aren't so clear in what they believe except they attack the KJB and those that are "KJVO".:wavey:

 

Don't worry, I haven't given up on you yet!:wavey:

 

And you are sure that Jesus was referring to the KJV when he said this, right?

:BangHead:

 

Sorry, Sal, I don't attack the KJV. Never have.

 

I'm glad to know that eisegesis is alive and well on the BB.

Other groups that would claim the martyr complex:

Jehovah's Witnesses
Seventh Day Adventists
Apostolic Pentecostals
Churches of Christ
etc.

 

And you are sure He wasn't referring to the end times either.

 

I said "they", you have only attacked me, as far as I know.:wavey:

 

I think the numbers reflect the importance of the gate verses the broad way, but you might want to limit the word of God to the numbers.

All the word of God is interesting, but you seem to want to pick and choose.

Amen! PREACH IT!

No, the verse simply means that few wil enter in at the strait gate and many will follow the pernicious broad way that leads to destruction.

Conjecture.

Are you inspired to try and maintain other versions which water-down and confuse the texts?

I don't believe Dr. Bob's list honestly represents the whole picture, but only represents his opinion.

You believe Dr. Bob is inspired.

God inspires me to adhere to His Word, not Dr. Bob's opinion.

 

Another evidence of braodmindedness rather than singlemindedness that wishes to follow the onemindedness of Jesus Christ.

 

I am going to close this thread if the pettiness continues. It is to simply be a discussion of people changing their views on the versions issue.

 

See post #7 on this thread

 

Are you basing your position on just one author's opinion? I would suggest you balance what you've read with an author making a case for the Received Text. Only then can you arrive at an unbiased conclusion.

It has been shown that Erasmus had mss which contained readings quite similar to Aleph and B and he rejected them.

I have read this book along with many other authors who hold a CT position. Having read both sides of the issue, I have concluded that the traditional Received Text is the most accurate and faithful.

 

Dale-c,
