Influence of the BB on your use of the KJV

Mormons have faith. The Islamics have faith (enough to kill themselves to get their 70 or so virgins).

We take a scholarly view to look at the Bible and understand that if it is not scriptural we don't have faith in it. Nowhere in scripture does it say the KJV is the only "inspired" version in the English language.

Some people cannot accept that it is very possible that scribes added verses to further strengthen their beliefs. Also, nobody has proven that the Bible translations change doctrine. Granted, some are better than others. This will always be, because the translators are human, but God will see to it that His Word will remain, long after the KJV is completely unreadable.

Faith in something not Biblical is a "latter day revelation" which, if we know to be absolutely from God should be added to the Bible. Since we believe that the canon was closed many years back, then we do not and are warned by the Bible including the KJV not to believe doctrine that is not scriptural.

No matter how someone feels in their heart. You can feel that it is from God, but so does a Mormon (you know, the warm feeling in the chest that tells you the KJV and Book of Mormon are all scriptural).

BTW, where do you get your scholarship, if you can judge the scholarship of others?

 

Hate to tell you, Jim, scholarship and faith go hand in hand. If it didn't, we would have NO KJV. These men were educated men. Please, don't make the same mistakes of circular reasoning that your wife has been making. No one here wants to denegrate her faith, but they do want to open her eyes to the fallacy of circular reasoning and the falseness of the KJVO doctrine.

...the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance,
but the LORD looketh on the heart.

HankD </font>[/QUOTE]Yeah.. But, Hank, you should see how holy I look, especially on Sunday morning. After coming to the BB, I'm seriously considering adding a bowtie to my wardrobe. I have one for my Tux, but it doesn't have that much personality, and besides, the Tux has really shrinked over the years.

Personally, I'm glad that God's ways are not our ways. I just trudge along the best that I can. I am just stupid enough to ask someone if they are on their way to Heaven, and if not, present them with the plan of 'easy-believism', encourage them to come to church, watch them get baptized, and observe the power of God in their lives. I am even stupid enough to take literally everything that is written in the KJV.

If I try to get too 'scholarly', I get a headache and suffer from dizzy spells.

God bless.

 

williemakeit,

You're also "stupid enough" (your words) to write a post that you know is bitting and backhanded, but somehow made "OK" by smiley faces. KJV-onlyism is hateful, devious and adds nothing of value to the Christian community.

 

At the urging of 1 or 2 KJVO's on this board I used the KJB as my studybible for a month. It took a lot of effort without producing any result worth mentioning, so I went back to reading a Bible in my own language.

 

I frequently used the KJV before I came here, and I frequently use the KJV now.

I loved the KJV then, and I love it now.

I wan't KJVO then, and I'm not now.

 

When I first visited BB, I believed that the KJV is NOT the only acceptable English translation, and I'm STILL convinced that is true.

When I first visited BB, I believed that bow ties are just as unacceptable as long ties, and I'm STILL convinced that is true.....Sorry Dr Bob

 

I currently use the KJV as my Bible of choice, but am comfortable with other translations as well. The BB didn't have anything to do with this conclusion. The Lord opened my eyes when I started going through my Baptist Doctrines book from MBBC using the NIV/NASB instead of the KJV. The doctrines and fundamentals were all there and they were all the same. It's not brain surgery people. It can be done by anyone.

 

I like the KJV, though it isn't the only for me. The BB has helped me to see that KJVOnlyism is a cult.

 

I have been made more keenly aware of the nonsensical evidence from KJVO folks. The only real evidence I see for it is the fact that there are those who really do believe it while transporting scripture to where cow pies are stored until the field is ready for them.

 

Same? Nonsense! Go to study your homework!

 

No nonsense about it, askjo. You still have yet to prove that they aren't the same. You spout, but you don't prove. Typical of KJVO.

 

The simple answer is that you are in denial because "yes" and "no" fight each other

 

The simple fact of the matter is you have no proof, just as we suspected. You try to turn the argument around in every thread, but I'm not biting....Post proof or quit hijacking every thread.

 

Take a look at the leader of the KJVO on http://www.aomin.org/ruckcor.html

Most disciples are just like their leader.

 

True, gb...very true.

 

No, I didn't believe KJVO before I came to the BB and I still don't believe KJVO. Nevertheless, I still use and love the KJV and always will.

Don't bring your problems from another thread here, askjo. I've already told you I'm not answering your questions because you consistantly blather on but refuse to post proof of your own position. You're not turning the tables to make me or anyone else the one questioned. I truly think you should start a new thread instead of trying to hijack this one. But, that will be up to the moderators.

Moderators...what say ye???
