    I have a few memories of attending church and someone would come up and check my Bible version at the door!

    I believe I'd DE-attend that church quicker than I first went in, as it's apparent it has some false doctrines, especially MAN-MADE rules.

    Could those preachers roll on...

    Among other things,
    Those preachers knew the Scofield Notes by memory

    Book
    Chapter
    Verse
    And they did not need
    a praise band
    to get in the way

    They seem to have been unaware of the fact that the Oxford edition of the KJV in the old Scofield Reference Bible had some unique or different renderings that could be said to characterize it [“and all that” (Lev. 14:36), “unto the coast“ (Deut. 3:14), “And when thou dost” (Deut. 24:10), “hastened” (1 Sam. 17:48), “people of the men” (2 Sam. 16:15), “the Lord“ (1 Kings 8:56, Jer. 32:26), “anything” (Rom. 8:33) [one word instead of two words], and “lusteth” (Rev. 18:14).

    Logos1560,

    Thanks for posting these mistranslated verses in the old Scofield KJV.

    For many years I heard the old Scofield (Oxford) had mistranslations in the KJV. But I never knew which KJV verses were mistranslated in the Oxford Scofield edition.

    Were there any other mistranslations in the old Scofield KJV?

    That should put to rest the myth of the Kjvo position!

    In his comparison of the 1611 edition to today's KJV, D. A. Waite asserted: “I used the ‘Old Scofield’ of 1917 as the standard for the KJV since it seems to be the most authoritative, having been published by the Oxford University Press” (AV1611 Compared to Today’s KJV, p. 3).

    D. A. Waite asserted: “There are a few printer’s errors between the Oxford edition and Cambridge edition” (Central Seminary Refuted, p. 28). Waite claimed: “I have found at least three errors in the Oxford edition of the KJB, which are correct in the Hebrew” (Foes of the KJB Refuted, p. 117). Waite asserted: "In Jeremiah 34:16 the Oxford University Press King James Version is wrong, false, and in error" (Foes of the KJB Refuted, p. 66). Waite maintained that “sins” at 2 Chronicles 33:19 “is an error in the Oxford editions” (Ibid.). The third error Waite claimed to have found in the Oxford edition is at Nahum 3:16 --"fleeth away."

    These three renderings may be what some refer to as errors in the Oxford edition in the Scofield Reference Bible although they were no actually the fault of the printers of the Scofield Reference Bible or the fault of Oxford printers. These three renderings that are being blamed on Oxford printers were earlier introduced in either Cambridge editions or London editions of the KJV.

    Some KJV-only advocates seek to make assumptions about all Oxford editions of the KJV based on the Oxford edition in the Old Scofield Reference Bible.
