What about the nature of version selections

Amen, Skan, amen.

 

Ken4JC,

Good luck getting a discussion going that doesn't quickly degrade into "My Bible can whup your Bible".

No matter what the subject in the BV/T forum, somebody turns it into a KJVO/non-KJVO brawl.

Personally, I love good debate, but, in the end, those 'brawls' become shouting matches. Pity, too. My heart aches for some who are so indoctrinated in their pet beliefs that they won't even look anything else, like reason.

In Christ,
Trotter

 

James 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

Would you be willing to have a dialogue concerning "the worst of the worst"?

If so what is "the worst" Ken?
If you don't want to answer, thats OK, FWIW I won't be offended.

I will be traveling over the weekend from Friday AM to Sunday PM, so it will possibly be Monday before I can reply.

Ken4JC, if you wish to use the KJV as your only personal Bible, fine. But if you tell someone else who uses another version or versions, including or not including the KJV that he/she's using the wrong Bible, or worse, "You don't got no Bible", that's where you cross the line. If you're not guilty of this, no prob. But many of us here *KNOW* the KJVO myth is false, and, as we Christians have a D-U-T-Y to fight any and all false doctrines, we attack it hard.

We patiently await the slightest scad of evidence in favor of the KJVO myth.

 

Not to worry, it never does bother
me to be totally ignored.

 

It's a good thing all of them stick together. We wouldn't wanting them to stir up trouble like they have done and become laughing stock. Even the non-believers who understand translation laugh at them. What a witness for Jesus to the non-believing world!

 

Which of the definitions here:

Definitions of KJVonly

do you see yourself as?
I see myself as KJVO#1.
I see you as KJVO#4.
Brother Skanwmatos is like KJVO#3.
(why do people keep lumping him
with me? At least he is a good man
to be lumped with )
You say those who booted me off for quoting
the KJV1611 edition are like KJVO#5.

Ken4JC: "BTW how many more threads will you put this post in?"

As many times as in which i might use such a sad occassion to
further the discussion.
Did i mention i used to send my Daughter to an
Independant Fundamental Baptist (IFB) church school?

Does anybody remember the subject of this
Topic might be similar to the topic title?
Topic title is: What about the nature of version selections.

 

OK, let's get back to the topic, the nature of version selection.

For private study, I use the NKJV, Nasb, NIV, KJV, & AV 1611, though not necessarily in that order. When asked to speak(I am not a pastor or preacher by current definition)I may make notes and quotes from any or all of those versions, except that if I know the audience is largely-elderly(I visit nursung homes quite a bit)I'll generally use the KJV as it's the most familiar version to older Americans. If I know there are immigrants in the audience, I'll stick with modern versions, as the immigrant may have difficulty understanding the KJV's archaic English.

In other words, I select which version(s) to use for the job at hand.

 

I spent an hour answering every one of Ken's fallacies and the idiotic software of the Baptist Board dumped the entire post into cyber never-never land. This place has got to be the worst administered bulletin board on the entire internet. It constantly deletes hours of hard work. Satan must be rejoicing today that terrible error stands uncorrected. What a waste.

 

Skan,

Must you spit fire on EVERY thread??

Ken, most OSs have a "copy" feature, and almost every public forum domain does the same thing, that is, dumping some posts which you've taken a lotta time to compose. It has NOTHING to do with any board's admin.I learned long ago to automatically COPY any lengthy post I make on ANY board. (Yahoo is especially notorious for dumping them!)

As for the terrible error, care to elaborate?

 

Ken4JC:Thank you for the information, so then do you ever get a chance to talk with anti-Christian people who use other versions to prove an extra scriptural point? As they pull away from the revelation of the Word of God, how do you choose a good foundation for closing the gap?

Simple-the prophecy fulfilled within the lifetimes of many of us. Just ask any older person if he/she woulda thought the Jews would have their own sovereign nation again, let alone be a great military power.

 

As I have told my wife for years: You give me any position, no matter how crazy, and I can find Scripture to back it up.

What these "anti-Christians" do is the same as what I told my wife. Take a verse, out of context, and twist it (or a portion of it) to say what you want.

And as for them using some 'other' version, most that I have encountered were using the KJV.

As they pull away from the revelation of the Word of God

Neat switch. "The revelation of the Word of God"? So, since they (in this hypothetical situation) are using some other translation besides the KJV, they are pulling away from the 'Word of God', aka the King James Version? Really slick. You any kin to Willy?

And as for a good foundation for closing the gap, I have found that it is much more effeciveto use the very translation they are relying on instead of trying to reason from a different one. When you try to use one different from theirs, they can fall back on the "translational differences" excuse...oh, but isn't that what the KJVOnlys do?

No, I forgot. There are no other translations...

Hey, Trotter, I bet the KJVo's find a statement in the Hebrew using Bible-Code Software that using a different skip number between every letter, they will find: "Thou shalt use the Cambridge Version of the King James Version and thou shalt use it only. Thou shalt also call it the AV1611." Of course, not only will the "skip" number between each letter will be different, but the direction between each letter will also change. (Whatever it takes to come up with that statement.) SEE, there it is, right there in scripture!

 

That is the reason why I often type something important on another document and then save it.
