    David J, that's part of the great KJVO double standard, to try to find ANYONE ANYWHERE to support their myth, no matter how dubious that source is. However, they're very quick to attack anyone critical of their myth no matter how unimpeachable that source is. Do the math.

    While further exploring the site where BW's book is found, I saw it's a disguised site of the Amazing Facts "ministry" of Doug Batchelor. I believe this org to be an offshoot of SDA. Besides Wilkinson, it mentions a book by Prof. Robt. Leo Odom, a SDA teacher & authority on EGW's writings.Also, they promote KJVO, while the SDA is NOT KJVO. They also have a book online you might want to read for a further laff-a rama:

    http://www.present-truth.org/KJV-HB/KJV-HB-TOC.htm

    Personally, I don't believe the bunk of EITHER of those outfits; I think they're BOTH cults. Amazing Facts is an offshoot of the SDA, same as is Branch Davidian or Jehovah Witness. Sadly, there are people who actually fall for the heresy and apostasy promoted by these cults and others like them. I refer you to this site ONLY because it has OAVB online, and several of you had emailed me asking how to find this book. In no way, shape, fashion, or form do I agree with any of their lying trash.

    Thank YOU, Craig and ED for your substantial posting of Scriptural and historical TRUTHS in the face of the false KJVO myth.

    Slambo, I KNOW you're smarter than what you've indicated in your posts. Care to actually try to defend the KJVO myth, or join us in proclaiming it false after seeing the truth about it?

    Wonder where all the KJVOs are? Wonder if they're actually taking the time to read BW's book?

    The are waiting for this thread to go away! LOL!

    They might be seeking wisdom from the KJVO leadership. These facts that was posted here are hard for them to deny.

    Silence is an art in the KJVO Camp. :0

    Hey Ed, another KJVO Double Standard! Exalt the scholarship of those who promote the KJVO myth, even SDA's and Anglicans, and minimize "good, godly scholars" who want to do the very same thing as the AV translators...bring God's Word into our language. :rolleyes: </font>[/QUOTE]

    I am not ready to disagree with anyone yet. I want to give you some things to consider prayerfully. The original texts are the real Bible. All others are translations or paraphrases of translations. This includes the KJV and the NASB. This is why God has done two things. He has gifted some for teaching who can tell us what the original text says and all believers the Holy Spirit to tell us where they are wrong. The Holy Spirit can help us search the rest of the Bible and notify us if it says our interpretation of a particular passage is right or wrong. If any biblical scripture disagrees with the scripture in question, then our interpretation of one of those scriptures is wrong. True searching of the scriptures to discover whether these things are so goes much farther then just a particular tranaslation. God created man to have fellowship with us and fellowship means communication through the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. Jesus, not the translation, is the key. What does He say, when you pray? When you get an answer, adjust your life so He can do His ministry through you in the lives of others. He is not interested in your ministry for Him. Use the version through which Jesus can best minister through you. He knows our weaknesses and that some meaning is always lost when translating from one language into another. Our mistakes will not interfere with what God plans. Let Jesus be your guide. [​IMG]

    Excellent thoughts, E.K! However, we find that there are those who claim the Holy Spirit has led them to use a given version, and that all other versions are wrong, and that anyone using any other version(s) is in error. We work to prove their myth wrong. I personally believe KJVO is an attempt by the devil to attack God's word, and to cast doubt among Christians about their Bibles. A good example of this is the KJVO camp among Fundamental Baptists. When Fundamentalism began, it was NOT KJVO, and one of its greatest preacher, teachars, and scholars, Dr. Richard Clearwaters, certainly was not KJVO. This phenom is totally man-made, and was NOT part of the Fundamentalist core beliefs and is still not among their "official" statement of faith, although some churches claiming to be Fundamentalist DO list KJVO within their statements of faith.

    As Christians & Baptists, we have a DUTY to combat false doctrines seeking to infiltrate our faith whenever and wherever we find them.

    BTW, have you ever heard of SB Pastor Hollis Hendon, from the Atlanta area? (He may be deceased now, as he would be in his 90s if still with us.) he performed my wedding ceremony 30 years ago, and was a GIGONDO Crimson Tide fan!

    I'm not a hyper-intellectual theologian, but there are some good replies to such textual criticisms as these. Try torontobaptist.org for starters.

    Been there, seen it, done that. Those people are babes in their defense of the KJVO myth, proclaiming the same ole codwallop that was refuted 25 years ago. I've been at this for over 20 years, and their arguments are quite basic, quite old-AND QUITE WRONG!

    Here's a link whose verious sites show the KJVO myth for what it really is:
