What difference does 270 years make?

Precepts, your friend translating the Bible into Russian...what is the donor language? Is it as you've said, the Innerant, Infallible, Inspired KJV? or is it the same donor languages whence came the KJV?

 

"So tell me, did you really read my post or not? His son Matthew is translating the Bible to Chinese. Is there any reason why the Bible cannot be translated into Chinese from the KJB? No."
oops! I must've confused the other post. However, substitute "China" for "Russia"---and it is total nonsense to translate a translation. Would the Chinese Bible be in "old Chinese" to keep form with the old English? any Bible must be translated from the same language God wrote His Bible; Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. If the translators did not have assess to the H, A, and G, then if the translators knew Mandarin, understood old English well enough, then it's better than not trying at all...but why settle for second best? why not translate into Chinese from what the KJV translators used? Don't you think that would be the most prudent course of action?
Goodnight all...

 

The most basic of principles is that correlation does not equal causation. Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a logical fallacy of gross proportions.

 

Peace and love to you all in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour!

rsr,

I do not think that apostacy is a lauphing matter at all. It is very sad indeed, and my heart is very burdened because of this. We are talking about people who have fallen away from the faith once delivered unto the saints, and it is not a lauphing matter at all, but a weeping one.

You are very wrong about your analagy of eating wheaties having to do with a car wreck to that of the modern versions attributing to apostacy. If God's word has been corrupted (which it has in the modern versions) then there will be evidence of apostacy, just as much as if one did not read God's word at all. Do you really think that God would bless something that has corrupted his pure word? Just look what happened to Eve in the garden of Eden, because she changed God's pure word? Was she not deceived by the serpent because of this? What was the result? Did God bless her version of the truth? Did God hold Adam to a higher account because he knew, and yet still disobeyed? I think we all know the answer to that.

I weep daily over this, and pray continually for those who are caught up in this. I hope that you would also.

May the Lord richly bless you all.

love in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour,
michelle

 

Michelle:What we can see however is the KJV resulted in great revivals. Sadly, we cannot say this same thing of the modern versions, but the opposite of true revival - apostacy.

Y'all just won't give up the false claim that apostasy is caused by some BVs you don't like, will you? If that were true, then the KJV should go. David Koresh, Jim Jones, & Heaven's Gate were all KJVOs, and I don't think it got more apostate than those birds were.

Apostasy comes from the PEOPLE who are apostate, regardless of which BV(s) they use.

 

Apostasy and rebellion?

Does anyone remember their history and the "glorious" motivation of Henry 8th for beginning the Church of England which produced the AV?

Henry the 8th...

Then followed the history of religious persecution and bloodshed by the hierarchy of the Anglo-Catholic Church of England against CoE dissenters.

To this day the Church of England retains much of the error of the Church of Rome.

And even
if proof positive was made that the
AV was head and shoulders above the
modern versions, I would be here asking:
which of the 40 versions, ah, er, editions
of the KJV are we talking about here?

IMHO the KJV1769 is a Modern Version (MV).
I use it all the time. So I guess I'm
a modern versionist? But if a "don't label
me a KJVO"ist uses the KJV1769 all the time
they are a user of the AV 1611 KJB.
Ah yes, we are learning to spell DOUBLE STANDARD.

 

Michelle: "You are very wrong about your analagy of eating
wheaties having to do with a car wreck to that of
the modern versions attributing to apostacy."

Actually, Brother Rsr is correct.
Look at the great apostacy movements
(somebody else already looked at the KJVO cults):

1. The Mormom apostasy, still distributing KJVs.
2. The Church of Jesus Christ, Scientist
(AKA: Christian Science) apostasy, What is her name White
quotes the KJV
3. etc.

All the apostasy that took place during the supremecy
of the KJV: 1700-1960 used different understandings
of the same KJV passages. All the divisions that took
place among the protestant Christian religions took
place using the KJV during the rule of the
KJV: 1700-1960.

 

"What we can see however is the KJV resulted in great revivals. Sadly, we cannot say this same thing of the modern versions"
Throughout the 3rd world there have been a number of great revivals linked to the work of the Wycliffe Bible translators.
In my own country, there recently has been a most unusual revival that started when a number of Evangelical churches adopted the Willibrord Bible.

Precepts:
" ... a scheme to label we who stand for the Word of God."

Actually, you stand only for the word
of God in one edition of one version.
(and precepts seems devious about exactly which
one of those editions he really uses )
OTOH, most MVites stand for the word of
God in the original KJV1611 edition,
the KJV1769 edition, the KJV1873 edition,
etc., the NIV, the NASB, the NLT,
the NCV = New Century Version,
the TMB = Third Millenniusm Bible, etc.

Who is "against God's word" here?

 

"Is there any reason why the Bible cannot be translated into Chinese from the KJB? No."
Absolutely true. Is there any reason why the Bible SHOULD NOT be translated into Chinese from the KJB? Yes.
To archieve the best possible translation, always translate from the language the book was originally written in.

 

I'm not sure why, but you left out translated into Chinese. I don't speak a lick of Chinese, no Aramaic, read very little Hebrew and Greek, so I'll leave it up to Matthew (I have a hard enough time with English ).
