I assume by your question that you are willing to die for the KJV. Bible worship is not a part of my life nor was it a part of Jesus' life. By your discussion I assume you do not understand that there was more than one translation of the OT during Jesus' time.

I am only willing to die for the one I worhsip. That one is Jesus Christ. I do not worship the Bible. Therefore I cannot die for a Bible. Only God is to be worshiped. The majority of Christians during the time of the NT did not own a Bible. In fact only 1-2% could even read.

 

Out of respect for Robycop3's request, I will not be responding to your post.

 

I'll let you save face.

 

Going way back...

Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

Covenant and testament might be synonyms, but they are not not the same word. The death of the testator is in view by the very use of the specific word "testament"; it is not necessarily so with the word "covenant". The word of God, even in this little detail of the word choice, glorifies God and gives one even more cause to think on his death.

To the Lord, I can truly say that I am "In Awe of Thy Word." And he gave it to me bound in a single book I can hold in my hand and read!

Psalms 119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

Does anyone else on this board have a "very pure" bible?

You can take it or leave it. I note you have a total of three posts. You have already in three posts clearly violated several of the rules on the BB, especially in this forum. Those are to be found at the very top of this forum. And they are fairly simple to read and fairly clear in what they say. I don't make any rules, I just follow them, here. If you would like to see your post number climb to a much higher number, you should probably consider cleaning up your act in a hurry. Take it for what it's worth. More than one poster has not reached double figures in posts before being banned. You could easily join that crowd, at present rate. And I will not have anything at all to do, with your joining them. Others in authority will be the ones, who help one find the door, who will not abide by the rules of this private forum. You don't like 'em? Start your own forum."

Thanks for the concern, Ed, but I don't see any "rules" violations. I didn't come to the BB to "increase my posts." My thoughts on that are similar to what Captain Rhett Butler told Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With The Wind," - i.e. Frankly, my dear, I don't.....

Rufus & Mike - you guys hang in there! Yes, Mike I have a pure Bible, it's called The Holy Bible! :thumbs:

 

Mine says:

HOLY BIBLE
THE OLD & NEW TESTAMENT

HAND SIZE
GIANT PRINT REFERENCE
EDITION

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Holman
Bible Publishers

IMHO 'holy' comes from the reader via the Holy Spirit
(or is that 'holy Spirit, int he KJV1611 Edition)?

 

I actually agree with you on the number of posts, even having 3K plus, and I don't particularly care how many any other has. I do not have that many to go for any number, nor am I seeking one. I can speak for no other, as to 'motive'. But one does establish a certain amount of credibility, or lack of the same, with posts, here. And a certain amount of 'credentials', with other members, as well.

And FTR, I have a pure Bible, as well. (Actually, several.) Every one of them is titled "Holy Bible", even thought I might tend to think that is a misnomer, IMO, with agenda driven versions or editions, such as the NWT, for example.

However, as another poster states, in this forum, there are rules here, and one rule is, in the vernacular "Thou shall not 'bad-mouth' another poster." A second is one "Thou shall not call any version a "perversion", regardless of 'flavor.''. A third is "Thou shall not question the salvation of another based on version perference.", and a fourth is "Thou shall show grace to other posters."

(Personally, I think they are good 'rules' to abide by in this or any other forum, but that is only my opinion, and I do not try and enforce it, or even suggest it on anyone in any other forums, for each has its own rules to follow.)

I can cite chapter and verse for all the above where the spirit, if not the actual letter, were inpugned, as well as where the rules are posted, the opinion of Rufus_1611, notwithstanding.

I have now posted three replies, directed directly at your posts. The first was entirely positive; the second and third, this being the third, were not entirely positive, due to content of what I was addressing. I shall not address this subject again, publicly, on the forum. I have simply offered it as "a word to the wise".

And I offered that anyone is 'free' to start their own forum. That offer still stands.

Should you wish to disagree with what I posted regarding this, I request you do it via the 'Private Message' route.

As I said before. "Back to the movie!"

In His grace,

Ed

 

Great informative post. Somehow this Scripture seems appropriate, as to the video.

My interent is out so I have not been around for a couple of days - I am closing this thread immediately. It is off topic and contains flagrent rules violations.
