The title of this "book" is a dead give a way to it being based on assumptions. i.e. he oughtta entitled it "Foes of the KJV as the Only Version Refuted"...he knows full well that the "foes" are not of the version of the KJ Translation, but of the Onlyism he represents.

Acts 7:5 KJV -- And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.

Acts 7:5 New KJV -- And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him.

Sigh! Here we go. Are you ready for this?

If the KJV had "God" and the NKJV had "he" then the KJVO Camp would be screaming that the NKJV is attacking God!They would say that God is correct and the LOWER CAP "he" was attacking the diety of God ETC...

Same old same old coming from the KJVO Camp!

Hey, why don't you KVJOists try something bold and new like answering these questions! Come on now, I used to be a KJVO! Bring me back to the camp with facts and not emotions.

askjo, askjo, don't you know that the KJV does the very same thing?

The KJV uses two figures of speech "God forbid" and "would to God" found in both the Old and New Testaments. In the majority of cases the word "God" does not appear in the Hebrew or the Greek.

A word, yes even the word "God" can be implied and determined from the context which is what both the KJV and NKJV translators have done.

It is not a crime. Both are still the Word of God.

Askjo:In the preface to the NKJV, the editors say that their text of the New Testament is based upon the TR.

However the critical edition TR is as not same as the TR that the KJV was based upon.

So?

 

Askjo:Did the KJV and the New KJV follow the SAME Greek text?

John Ankerberg said: "The NKJV is based on the SAME Greek text as the 1611."

D. A. Waite refuted him by saying: "This is not completely true." Waite explained more about that in his book, "Foes of the King James Bible Refuted."

Again, no crime.

And has Dr. Waite ever been wrong in his KJVO stuff?

 

Askjo:Did the NKJV follow the Greek TR? Let us compare the KJV, the NKJV and the SAME Greek text.

Acts 7:5 KJV -- And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.

Acts 7:5 New KJV -- And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him.

The Greek Text: kai ouk edwken autw klhronomian en auth oude bhma podoV kai ephggeilato autw dounai eiV katascesin authn kai tw spermati autou met auton ouk ontoV autw teknou

Please show me where the word "God" on this Greek text.

Here's a CLASSIC example of the great KJVO DOUBLE STANDARD at work. It's OK for the KJV to say, God Forbid" in divers places when "God" is NOT found in 'me geniteo', but NOT OK for the NKJV to say, "God" when God is clearly the antecedent of ther pronoun 'he'.

Ed Edwards, take note!

 

Askjo:Will K. answered on "God forbid" so click here: God forbid

Will's answer was a POOR EXCUSE.

You BOTH use the great KJVO DOUBLE STANDARD.

 

Dear askjo,

RE: Brother Will’s piece:

I can’t believe you are so blatantly duplicitous as well as so naïve.

According to this article you noted by Brother Will Kinney , he says that the use of “God forbid” in place of “me genoito” is OK because several lexicons, such as Thayer, Liddel & Scott, and Baer, Arndt & Gingrich all tell us this is a perfectly acceptable way of rendering this expression.

In addition he further states that there are a whole host of Bible versions both before and after the King James Bible that do the very same thing.

Here we have Will citing the works of men to justify the fact that the KJV translators have added or dropped words to and from the text, but when the MV translators do the same thing it is anathema!

Not that this practice has anything intrinsically evil about it because I (and most others here) realize that it is an acceptable practice of the arts and sciences of translation in view of the idiom of the given language and the context of the surrounding text to be translated.

Yes, God said to not add to His words (e.g."God forbid"). However, if it is understood within the Hebrew/Greek idiom and within the given context in which it is given, it is not a violation and often times unavoidable.

Personally I prefer "May it never be" or simply "No" in answer to a rhetorical question in the Scripture.

The word-for-word restriction is to the ORIGINAL language copies of the autographs and the blatant and obvious addition of word(s) of a translation.
I personally can acceot "God forbid" as a dynamic equivelance.

However, the KJVO have reserved unto themselves the exclusive right not only to dictate the rules of translation but to change them at will in the middle of the game when they get behind in the score.

Deuteronomy 25:13-15
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Sorry Dr. Bob but I had to use something he understands .

Where do you think the Hebrews got the weapons to whip all of their enemies in the promised land? You don't think they carried them around for 40 years in the desert, do you? It took them at least a month to get all of the sand and mud out of the horns they blew at Jericho.
