The King James Bible

I am KJVO - I don't use any other version because I don't NEED any
other version.

I love the Bible and the truth contained in it.


I am not trying to start anything...I was warning the OP that if she talks about being KJVO, she will definitely get comments that will upset her. It has happened to me many times.....and I am sure it will happen again.

 

"I love the Bible and the truth contained in it."

Good. So do a lot of people that aren't KJVO. The gospel is found in every version I have ever read, and there is no disputing that fact. It's the gospel that saves, not the version.

 

We all get comments on here that upset us on a variety of subjects. It goes with the territory- this is a debate forum, after all. :smilewinkgrin:

 

But surely it is to be expected that the creators of websites will use the bible translation which they normally use. My own church website, for instance, uses the NKJV (New King James Version), because that is the translation we use in our services. Just a few miles from us is another church we have good fellowship with, where they use the KJV, and so naturally on their website they quote God's Word using that translation.

And of course there are churches in countries where English is not the national language, so they will not use the KJV or any other English translation.

It could give you a false idea of a church (or other Christian institution with a website) if they used one translation on their website, and a different translation for services.

As you say that the sites "teach good bible doctrine", could you tell us what sort of problems you encounter on them? Is it simply that they use a different translation of the scriptures to the one you use? Or are you finding other problems?

 

I know that - I just didn't if SHE knew that.

 

To answer the OP...Many people, myself included, believe the KJVO DOCTRINE is FALSE. After all, it doesn't have one quark of SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT, not even in the KJV itself, and the origin of the current edition of this doctrine is shown to be from a CULT OFFICIAL'S book.

And this forum is occupied mostly by Freedom Readers like myself, who totally reject KJVO. Please keep this in mind, and if you're KJVO, prepare to have that doctrine challenged.

And some sites get downright nasty with KJVOs, most likely brought on by KJVOs having gotten nasty and in ad-hominem mode with them to start with. While that shouldn't happen here, the KJVO position will certainly be strongly challenged!

 

To the OP.....you might see that you have the same issue with this forum, although there are definitely KJVO people like myself here.

Just avoid the threads where you feel insulted....that's what I do. And this thread is turning in that direction, so I would definitely follow the
advice of some of posted initially and back away from any forum where
you don't feel comfortable or accepted for what you believe. I pray for someone who says that my Bible presents false doctrine, because I was
saved from the information in that Bible, I live by the information in
that Bible, and I will always love the information in that Bible as the WORD OF THE LORD.

 

Which bible though is "word of the Lord?"
just the KJV, if so, which edition of that?

Are modern versions also?

or is the true 'word" found in Hebrew/Greek texts themselves, NOT in any translation from them?

 

Oh, goodness, folks... can't we give the poor OP an opportunity to explain herself before we jump down her throat? That is if our ugly mugs haven't scairt her off already!

 

Freedom Readers? Really? That is the stupidest thing I've read in a long time. Do all you "Freedom Readers" believe that God created other people after the flood and believe that God created other people to mate with Adam and Eve's sons?

 

I would like to know what part of reading the KJV Bible caused them to lose their freedom? I gained LIBERTY IN CHRIST while reading it.

 

It wasn't reading the Bible that did it for me, it was reading ungracious responses like these- from BOTH sides- that caused me to examine the issues for myself, and come to my own convictions regarding the matter.

 

That is exactly what I thought. :laugh:

 

Salty, my Dad, the Southern Baptist Deacon, had no other Bible other than KJV in his entire lifetime. He believed that baptism was only to be
by immersion, and he used the word "Baptizo" for the proof....so where
was he wrong?

 

Not wrong, but don't other versions say that also though?

 

Not nearly as stupid as believing the MAN-MADE KJVO doctrine.

Can U prove me wrong in the other matters U mentioned? Of course not.

Can I prove KJVO wrong? Signed, sealed, & delivered years ago.

 

The MAN-MADE part that the KJVOs added, that sez, "The KJV is the ONLY valid English Bible translation" , an idea derived from a CULT OFFICIAL'S book.

A Freedom Reader reads other valid versions, free of the man-made false doctrines that diss them. He/she has the freedom to use ANY valid version(s) he/she chooses

 

It also seems "Freedom Readers" have the freedom to make stuff up about what they read too.
