a Challenge For Some...

Certainly you flatter yourself.

And if you're honest you'll admit that using more than one mv is necessary to even know what each one says due to it using words that you're not familiar with those either.

It's not about familiarity of words, it's all about what those words mean in context.

The depth of God's word goes far deeper than the modernist's diction could ever allow.:godisgood:

 

Who ever said what you quoted is worthy of the title "sentence"?

To educate you a little, it's called dialogue exchange.

No, that's what I SAID!

You want the word of God placed into the realm of intellect to decide who is in authority when the Lord is after the inner man, not the man who thinks himself to be something when he is nothing.

You think you're one of a select few that has mv's at his disposal.

I've compared [Bible attack deleted] to the word of God. Everytime I find them lacking in description and eloquence. Eventually the wording does less of a good job of having within its power to express what the Bible already says.

I didn't feel like wasting my time to have you rant and rail just like you did Baptist4life.

Do you really think we're all so ignorant of your devices? Man, I saw right THROUGH your motive in the OP. All you've done is show how you were laying in wait to ensnare and twist other's words to fit your own devised scheme. Shame on you!

 

Thank you for the lesson on pride.

 

Yes, I see that his motives weren't honorable at all! I answered his challenge, did quite well in fact, and he twists it to look like HE was giving me the "benefit of the doubt" and being the "nice guy"! Rippon, I'm NOT KJVO, but Salamander is absolutely right about understanding the MV's as well. I have several friends who use MV's, and they do NOT understand every word in them either!

 

Baptist4life did very well (I doubt I'd have done any better), but as he said: "that really wasn't too difficult". Now scored again per your request ("I would be interested in how the rest of you think I did") and edited for space and categorization --

Full-credit (8)

I found no reason why "haste" can't mean in a hurry here (that is the usual meaning).​

Partial-credit (2)

The word "judgement" (in singular or plural) is not addressed in either of your answers. ​

No-credit (3)

In Psalm 106:20a they did not simply 'give up' (as in forfeit, concede, capitulate), but rather "glory" was exchanged (or substituted, traded, replaced) for something else.

In your answer to Psalm 119:96 the phrase "end of all perfection" doesn't mean all things are 'terrible', but rather that ultimately futile are the pinnacles of human effort; the second part doesn't indicate that God is 'still in control' (although it is safe to say He always is) but rather His commands are infinite (comprehensive, complete, boundless).

In Psalm 119:123 you make no attempt to define "mine eyes fail" as weariness (whether emotionally, spiritually, psychologically); next, His "salvation" (deliverance, victory, preservation would be acceptable) is not the same as 'righteousness'; and third, "word" isn't necessarily referring to the holy writ (if that's what you were intended by capitalizing 'Word') but rather simply His promises (also sayings, declarations, announcements).​

Although my evaluation is not exactly the same as Rippon's score (mine is slightly more favorable toward you), I think he was fair. Most importantly, we agree that you did NOT correctly interpret the KJV English at Psalms 119:96 & 123.

 

What IS your point?? I stated that those of us who use the KJV have probably used it for YEARS and understand it very well. Those that do not are free to use an MV if they like.

I think the biggest problem is not that I did not understand the words, but that I wasn't clear enough for you in my rephrasing them. I can assure you I understood the passages, as I believe most KJV users do.

 

BFL, You have earned a perfect score. :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

 

That's it, you have no point.

We understand the KJB and not anyone understands the mv's all the way.:laugh:

 

Rippon, how about you defining THESE NIV words WITHOUT looking them up:

As they say............"remove the beam from your own eye".............

 

I have to say, the KJV test was easier than the NIV. I don't know what a lot of those words on the NIV list mean. :laugh:

 

Exactly my point! Game, set, match!:thumbs:

 

See?

I knew this was going to be fun to watch!

I'm done with this thread. You cannot argue, nor do I wish to, with someone who's mind is already made up. The NIV and other MV's have just as much "baggage" as does the KJV. I repeat, I believe Rippon's "beef" is with the KJVO's, and he takes it out on the KJV. Get over it, and use what version you like.

 

Yes, I do. But all I meant was that in comparison, you're list of words was easier than the NIV words. That's all. I didn't realize the NIV has so many words in it that I don't know. I thought I was smarter than that! :laugh:
