Why I am KJV only

These snips are at best a human attempt to keep at least a semblance of Christ-likeness on this board.

Point the attack toward me all you will - you have not answered the question about how Christ would feel about these silly fights.

 

Why I am NOT KJVO...

First, Larry, I agree with C4K that you're fully entitled to use only the KJV. However, I believe that a word from the opposition to KJVO is in order:

WHY I AM NOT KJVO:

1.) KJVO has absolutely NO Scriptural support, even in the KJV itself.

2.) The evidence is plain, from the differing English bible versions, that GOD is not limited to giving us His word in just one version only.

3.) While there were prolly a few "KJVOs" in 1612, they were scattered individuals from that time onward until the 20th century, when a whole rash of KJVO authors popped up. Before then, several English versions "peacefully co-existed", with the KJV being predominant but not exclusive. In the 20th century, it was much easier for the KJVOs to spread their ideas through the power of modern media, and thus a doctrine was born.

4.) KJVO proponents use every propaganda trick known to the English language to try to justify their doctrine...but when pressed for ANSWERS & EVIDENCE, they have nothing to offer but excuses. They get away from genuinely Godly discussion & resort to cheap politics. THROUGH ALL OF THIS, THEY FAIL TO SUPPORT THEIR IDEAS WITH THE FIRST PIECE OF GENUINE EVIDENCE!

Again, this is not an attack upon the KJV itself. it's an attack upon the incorrect idea that the KJV is the ONLY valid English Bible version.

May I RESPECTFULLY ask you some questions, Larry?

First, who was the author of that tract you say opened your eyes? I ask this in the knowledge that there are some KJVO authors out there whose work is dubious to say the least, besides Ruckman and Riplinger. It seems that your tract came from J.J. Ray, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Next, did you see if the "omitted" verses were actually SUPPOSED to be there, or were they some scribe's ADDITIONS?

Finally, BIBLICAL faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.(Heb. 11:1) Where is the substance and the EVIDENCE for KJVO?


A final reminder...One can use the KJV alone, as several people do here, without wearing the dead bird of the KJVO MYTH around their necks. The problems arise when someone begins denouncing someone else's choice of Bible version(s).

 

As this is another KJVO thread, which we have rehashed ad naseum, I am imposing a 50 post limited unless some new information is prodived to help us make up our minds on the issue.

 

Thank you Roger, although I really did want to know why some feel the need to keep bringing it up when nothing new has surfaced.

 

And nothing new IS gonna surface unless/until some significant manuscript find occurs. The KJVOs are gonna continue to dig up the same ole stuff from the landfill, and, for the sake of newer Christians, we're gonna hafta dust off our pink elephant guns & shoot it down once more.

 

All you want is POSTIVE. Aviod fighting over Bible versions? Ignore the warning from the Scriptures? Unbelief? Yes! Believe? Yes! Jesus WARNED that anyone does not believe in the Word of God and believe in Jesus Christ: IS THAT POSTIVE????? Jesus also warned that His Word will JUDGE men in that day.

To fight over Bible versions is how much the KJV defenders love the Word of God and FIGHT for the Word of God against the [snip] word of God. To fight over them is neccesary because they fear the Lord Jesus Christ.

To be positive is good, but we must remember that we must fight and DEFEND the Word of God. The KJV is MOST ACCURATE translation over modern versions for English-speaking people available today.

 

that's why Erasmus had to keep getting revised, no? TR1, TR2, TRn ... ? :laugh:

o, n what number of MSS underlie the TR n KJB? n how much do they differ?

which MS has the last few vss of Revelation? (u seem to know a lot :thumbs

u seem to be numerate as well, so the above questions shdn't stump :smilewinkgrin:

 

missourian

um, seems like nobody's slammed u so far, n maybe i shdn't either :smilewinkgrin:

but really, pointing out that other translations r different doesn't make a case out that KJB's the only right one (as TCassidy's pointed out).

so why don't u post positive reasons why KJB's exclusively the one. (otherwise, u may perhaps argue for KJB superiority, but u won't be a true-blue KJBO).

 

Are we at 50 yet??

Are we??

This thread is so representative of why I don't post in this forum much. Lots of arrogance, pride, backbiting, slime-throwing... and very little grace or love.

Back under my rock.

 

I get so tired of this "my Bible's better than your Bible," or "my Bible could beat up your Bible" game.

Welcome to this Forum.
Unfortunately you have missed three testimonies right
in this forum & posted during that
time of people who have changed their mind about Bible
Versions.

LarryV2.0: //For me it’s a matter of authority, I may have to dust
off an English Dictionary from time to time but most of the time
the context of the verse and the way the word is used
in other places is all I need to know to understand what
it's saying, but I know that what I'm reading is true.//

If you will check my posts of the last six months you will find
a series (trans-topical) of posts showing the Bible mal-beliefs
that use the KJVs for support.

I was called to minister in this forum. Were you?

There is a concise WHAT IS ALRIGHT
guide called: "Eleven Simple Rules for Posting"
STIKYed to the top of the index. This is found at:

http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=2393

Most newbies don't bother to read it, especially when they come
around with a WRITTEN OFF-SITE OP (opening post).

The revised KJVO Bible verse of the day:

All KJVs Scripture is giuen by inspiration
of God, & is profitable
for doctrine, for reproofe, for correction,
for instrution in righteousnesse,

 

Can somebody maybe occassionally quote a scripture or two?
(I did note a couple of trailers with scripture :thumbs: )

 

Ed,

I don't feel a call to minister on this board in particular. I feel a call to minister where God has placed me and that is on the BB. I am concerned for those that "happen" onto the BB and into a thread that is not Christlike in it's demeaner.

I read the 11 rules. Thanks for pointing it out. I hadn't read it, not because I hadn't bothered, but because I enter most threads through the "new posts" located at the top of the page. Those rules are what I stive for at all times here.

 

Mcdirector: //I don't feel a call to minister on this board in particular. I feel a call to minister where God has placed me and that is on the BB..//

Amen, Sister -- you are so RIGHT ON!

Mcdirector: //I am concerned for those that "happen" onto the BB and into a thread that is not Christlike in it's demeaner//

That is why I use the little yellow triangle at the
upper right of each post (with the explanation mark /!/ on it)
to report all violations of the 11 rules that I find.
It is the citizens duties to report such violations
to the topic cops. They can't read all the time, even the
ones who have mastered bi-location

Oh yes, I'm, a KJVO#2 (MT best) by this guide:

No one posting here does not beleive the word of God. That is where you err. Everyone posting here would die for the word of God. Why then do some cause divisions? I agree with your last sentence, but I am not going to divide the body of Christ over than view.

 

But He didn't say that only the KJV is that word. It is found in the KJV, the NKJV, the NASB, the NIV and other English Bible versions.

The same can be said of anyone who defends the word of God in its various translations. We fight for the word of God, while fighting against the KJVO myth that limits God's word and His power.

We do defend the word of God. You have been shown this over and over again, Askjo, yet you refuse to accept it. But for accuracy to its underlying text, the NASB cannot be surpassed.

 

I do not oppose fighting and dying for the great truths of the word of God. I do oppose fighting over ascriptual issues.

 

Amen!

And to Ed,

I looked at that list of KJO #1-5 . It too was very interesting. I've got to spend some time with it to make sure I get the differences stuck in my head.

I've prefered the NASB since I was a teenager. This past year, I picked up an ESV and have been quite happy with it. I use them in study along with my old Scofield annotated KJV. So, I'm not on the list. :tongue3:
