    Do you really think that publishers make no money selling KJVs? Almost every KJV I own cost me good money - I would love to know where I can find a durable one for free.

    Even the most ardent KJVO sites sell Bibles for money.

    And there are LOADS of free versions available online.

    So you now agree that just because a version is of a later vintage it won't necessarily water-down or mute the hard truths of God's Word?

    Folks, I am reproducing post #62 of stilllearning, verbatim, below in the quotes. I will inject my own remarks in blue.
    I think I'll pass, here. Instead, since you made this allegation, you are the one to give evidence to show it. From the words of B. B. Warfield, in context, no less, preferably from The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible or Biblical and Theological Studies. Have you read any of either of them, BTW? (Why am I even bothering in asking this??) Why should you (or any other) get away with saying whatever they choose, no matter how outrageous it may be, and then request another to disprove it? It simply doesn't work that way.

    Ed

    Hello EdSutton

    A real quick response.

    I didn’t not say that the late 1800's was a bad time for Christianity.

    This is what I said......
    And I stand by that statement.
    --------------------------------------------------
    As I have said, up until that point, “God’s Word” was seen by every Christian, as infallible.
    (And the English translations of God’s Word, were considered sound.)


    And as you said..........
    Let me find that exact quote, and I will post it.

    You're making the KJV (whichever KJV)the standard.Since the KJV's have ancient wordings isn't it reasonable that modern versions would have renderings that are different?

    "Something unfamiliar"? Of course another translation is going to be different.That's deserves a "Duh".

    "Indifferent to the ear".What do you mean by that?Are you suggesting that other translations don't have lines which are famous or something like that?Perhaps you thinking that other translations don't have the same "beautiful cadences" as the KJV's have.Please explain.

    You know,Satan has a lot more sinister things to do than bringing out more Bible translations.Giving people God's Word is not Satanic.Don't attribute to Satan what God is doing.You have a strange view of what constitutes evil.

    Why, so you can have my posts edited for "slandering God"?:laugh:

    Job 24:22: God is NOT wicked and is responsible for giving life and that more abundantly to all who believe, not ever leaving every man unsure of life as the NKJV says.:godisgood:

    Was that SPECIFIC enough?

    What are you talking about???

    Job 24:22 ¶ He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of life. (KJV)

    Job 24:22 "But God draws the mighty away with His power;
    He rises up, but no man is sure of life. (NKJV)

    I realize that is the first-time punishment. Do repeat offenders get seventy...and then three-strikes receive seventy times seven?

    No but the English language has changed, just as it did between 1611 and 1769.

    The old 'copyright' argument is a cop-out. You can go on-line and access nearly all of the MV's at Bible Gateway. Most of the MV copyrights allow you to quote massive amounts of their 'copyrighted' materials without compensation.

    And if the Bible printers were not making money on the KJV's they would stop printing them. According to the latest CBA statistics, the KJV is still #3 in sales. So it isn't like they are losing money by printing KJVs.

    As for making the MV's "attractive" that is debatable. Kind of hard to dress up sin, death and hell- and they are in all of the MV's that I have looked at.

    Thanks for allowing me to show you the difference:

    The context is dealing with the attributes of evil wicked men that draw even the most prudent of men into their snares with their deceits and trickery. All to place men in a situation that they would give anything within their power to keep alive.

    Since when has God used deceit and trickery to draw any man into "His snare"? And since when did God even ever have a snare?

    This reference is NOT dealing with the aspect of the Spirit of God drawing men to the point of salvation, I mean just LOOK at the Hebrew! "El, Elohim, Jehovah, etc." are not found, but only the reference to a male.

    All anyone has to do is follow the context and then ask, "Is this God doing all this evil?" NO!
