    Another Gospel! </font>[/QUOTE]The NWT-- like the KJV-- was produced for the benefit of a particular organization. </font>[/QUOTE]__________________________________________________

    By the same token, so was the NKJV and the HCSB. So what is your point?
    As you know quite well, the NWT is NOT even comparable to the KJV. Unless of course you are trying to equate the heresy of the JW's with the Church of England. In that case sir, methinks thou art mad!
    One could just as easily have said the NWT - like the HCSB- was made for the benefit of a particular organization, therefore leading one to equate one with the other. WAIT ! I just did that didn't I? [​IMG]

    I am going to agree with Jim here, no serious person can legitamately compare the NWT with the KJV. This tactic is frowned on when the KJVOist compare an MV with a cultic bible or teachings, it should be equally frowned on when the KJV is compared in that way.

    And so you know, I am not a KJVO person, but I love the Word of God and dislike when it is compare to that which is false by either group.

    Thank you Tony! [​IMG]
    See? There is at least SOME agreement 'twixt the two sides.
    One must watch what one says when trying to refute/rebut a particular statement or position. I think we all (mostly) agree with that?
    Be it known that although I am KJVo #4, I do NOT think one is not saved unless one uses the KJV.
    However, I take great offense at the comparisons of KJVo with JW's or Mormons. That kind of thing is just plain wrong and is slander. It is true that many in the KJVo camp use those same tactics calling the MV users apostate or worse, but it in no way makes it right for MV'ers to do the same.
    I will stand against the man who does that whether he be KJVo or not! :mad:
    I have said many times that P.S. Ruckman is wrong in his approach, but the fact that he does it does not make it right for others to do it on the opposite side.
    :rolleyes: Now I'm repeating myself. :rolleyes:
    So...see ya either here, there, or in the air!

    roby;
    No I don't. I heard a good friend use it and I like it. Don't you?
    Another one of my friends says this.
    "How ya' doin'?"
    He replies with, "Better than I deserve. I'm going to heaven, are you?"
    I like that one too. My friend is a MAJOR conspiracy nut, but I like his reply. It always gets a response in which one can give the receiver the gospel. So I use it also.
    Anything wrong with that?

    In HIS service;
    Jim

    The key word here is USING, so if you have in you hands a valid translation you would be in good shape if you were using it.
    Now having THE correct version would be even better.Has THE correct version been translated yet?

    Hope you're not hinting I'm a loose cannon, Roby dear...I've used that phrase for as long as I've been married(40yrs). My preacher(ABA) pa'n'law (who's now dead) taught it to me.

    Hey, broJim, I had someone ask me once how ya doin'...and I replied, "better than you!"...He was a Oneness. I didn't mean it the way it came out, but had intended it the way you said it...haha...had to do some fast-stepping there & 'splain myself. ;)

    Actually, I was referring to a gent who often goes by the handle Rextext on other boards. He may have been here in the past.

    There is only 1 version of the Bible that I know of.

    There are many translations of the Bible, but translation does not equal version. In my humble opinion of course.

    Right, but there are 2 kinds of Christian: Consistently Christian person AND a rational Christian person.
    How do you feel if you read &lt;attack on the Word of God deleted&gt;
    If you reject naturalism, you must believe Psalm 12:6-7 referral to the Words of God.
    Well, you missed what the Scriptures said &lt;personal attack deleted&gt;.

    No translation is inspired. When you translate, you have to have something to translate from.

    Wrong. Christians are saved by Christ, and it is in Him that one is a Christian, and in no other!


    Are you accusing MV's as being 'uninspired'? Not only is this against the BB rules and the BV/T rules, and I will not say anything more about your baseless lies.


    And again, your pointless, baseless, braggadocious statements have been refuted time and time again. Your ignorance of the Hebrew text is a distortion of the clear teaching of Scripture. Likewise, your KJV-only errors are a distortion of the clear teachings of Scripture.


    If you KJV-onlies want to be seriously considered at all on this BB, you cannot make personal attacks like this. Your views about the KJV have been refuted time and time again, and when you begin verbally assaulting others, it is no wonder that KJV-onlyists deserve such derision. Your constant vileness is poisonous to reasonable debate.
