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

    Archangel 7,

    I appreciate the time and efforts you took for your last post. I still say you have not one iota of proof that they were reading from a different version. It seems quite logical, and common sense that Phillip read from the (Hebrew) scriptures and said it in the greek or aramaic language.... in light of the fact that the one language was Hebrew being translated into the greek or aramaic language. This also applies to the passage that Jesus read, and more can apply to this. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and most likely as he read the scripture, spoke of his own words - changed himself the words while reading this passage. Your logic is flawed, and makes not one iota of sense. The Old testament was written in Hebrew, and the New Testament in Greek. When reading from the Hebrew language they verbally translated this origional language in the greek, or aramaic to which they spoke.

    Love in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour,
    michelle

    --------------------------------------------------
    Pastor Larry quoted:

    This why, as the KJV translators said, there is good in having a variety of translations to gain the sense of the passage. It is very helpful to the average common person to have a variety of good translations.
    --------------------------------------------------

    I refer you to this webpage regarding what the translators said regarding versions:

    www.watch.pair.com/translators.html

    --------------------------------------------------
    Pastor Larry quoted:

    It is preserved and it is the word of God. How is it not the preserved word of God? What do you think it is?? It is a translation, just like the Syriac, the Aramaic, the Coptic, and so on right down to your KJV. It is the word of God as much as your KJV is. And it is most likely the version of Scripture used by Christ and the early apostles.
    --------------------------------------------------

    It is a translation by a man named Origen in the second century, and is the translation of the Old Testament to the greek. This is not the origional language, and cannot therefore be relied upon as accurate for the Hebrew scriptures, over that of the Hebrew itself. Not to mention Origen was not exactly the type of person to trust with a translation of God's word.

    --------------------------------------------------
    Pastor Larry quoted:

    Actually, all anyone has shown is that the translation is different. You have not yet shown what God actually said about it.
    --------------------------------------------------

    The translation is different than the english translation of the KJV, so now please tell me which one is right? And also tell me how you are not attacking God's preserved words, by saying such a thing. They cannot both be right. One is the truth, one is corrupt. Which one is it Larry, which one?

    --------------------------------------------------
    I minister in a church every week where people have modern translations and the only confusion came from a guy a couple of weeks ago who was visiting from a KJVO church who questioned the word of God. The people here are not confused. This is not confusing. It is confusing to you because of your lack of understanding.
    --------------------------------------------------

    Now please tell me, why did confusion arise, if the modern versions are not accurate? Or, if the KJV is not accurate? Please explain to me, where is the confusion coming from? It is not God. God is NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION.

    Love in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour,
    michelle

    Pastor Larry quoted:

    I have never done this so I don’t need to stop. It is you who are excusing errors and corruptions, not us.

    --------------------------------------------------


    So Larry, are you admitting here that the KJV is corrupt and has errors?

    So, you believe your own common sense and logic over what the KJV says? "THE PLACE OF THE SCRIPTURE WHICH HE READ was this" Those words recorded in you KJV are what was written in the the scripture in the passage that the eunuch read from. At least that's what the KJV says....

    But that's an outright denial of what the KJV says: "And when he had OPENED THE BOOK, he found THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS WRITTEN, " According to the KJV, those words recorded in Luke were what was WRITTEN in the book Jesus read.

    Strange how in your quest to prove one version onlyism you deny the very words of your one version only.

    Russel55,

    If one has the ability to speak two languages and also read two languages, would it then make sense that one could read from the one and speak with the other? This makes more sense, than ASSUMING there were other versions being used, as NOT anywhere indicated to us in the scriptures.

    love in Jesus Christ our Faithful Lord and Saviour,

    I don't really see many contradictions. When words or phrases are different, I pull out my trusty Greek New Testament and examine the evidence for myself, and use those gifts of learning and discernment which God has given me to decide which one best translates the original Greek. Sometimes the best version is the KJV, sometimes it's the NIV, sometimes the NASB. </font>[/QUOTE]Sounds logical enough if we knew we could trust you but we then must put our trust in God. Sorry Scott, God still has the following:
    2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

    Besides, I already know how opinionated you are and I would never put ANY trust in some one who is full of such unforgiveness and makes so many accusations.

    Oh, and your rant about a negative can't be proven: -1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8,-9,-10,-11,-12... The infinite number of proofs good enough for you?

    Maybe some negatively charged ions that attract the positive ions?

    I'm somewhat of an economist. I can prove to you that a negative exists by this comparison:

    In 1963 it cost $35,000 to build a 3,200 sq ft home. In 2003 that same home sold for $480,000. What looks like a $445,000 profit is actually a loss and the negative because that same home would cost $490,000 to build. There would be a negative valuation of the same square footage of the exact same house in the same location of $10,000. That amount paid $480,000 is due to inflation and there is no actual increase in value, but only a loss. $35,000 will buy approxiamately 28% less in goods when we apply a dollar for dollar of tangible goods. The amount of labor to produce a finished product equals $1 of goods. That $1 is now equal to $12, but it takes 1.23 hours to produce the same amount of product that comparatively was worth $1 before, but now is actually worth $2.83 less. That is a negative proven all over again. It is in value, just like the negative value of God's Word is accomplished by corrupt and misleading translations.

    Scott admits using three to get one, that is a negative in itself. If he were to work towards an increase he would accomplish that by staying with the KJB all along, but instead he goes to even a deeper negative by trying to make himself the authority over God's Word by his opinion which is best by his understanding of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, along with his view of English.

    I'll have to stay with 47 to 1 odds.

    Oh! You were talking about all the defamation of those all label as KJVO not provable. Like yeah, right. :rolleyes:

    Michelle,

    "The Old testament was written in Hebrew, and the New Testament in Greek. When reading from the Hebrew language they verbally translated this origional language in the greek, or aramaic to which they spoke."

    C'mon now!! This doesn't make logical sense!

    The Torah was in Hebrew. Many of the people couldn't read Hebrew - since the Babylonian exile essentially made Aramaic the ay to day language. The readings from Isaiah were "haftorah" and quite likely were written in Greek. THe problem for your position obviously is that when the NT quotes the OT it often parallels the LXX much more than the BHS Hebrew - and believe me the 2 are significantly different in places.

    But this is a problem for those asserting that the KJB and its progenitor manuscripts are the ONLY Word of God. In this case we can learn from this observation - rather than doing the human thing and refusing to acknowledge it! The above explanation regarding using 2 languages that way is really, really, really (multiple reallys) stretching it.

    We clearly have two copies of the same passage in Isaiah which have *words* that are *different*. If that doesn't constitute proof of two different versions, what does?

    But if "God only gave one Bible," then regardless of which languages they were originally written in or translated into along the way, by the time they get translated into the English KJV which "perfectly preserves" the words of that "one Bible" they should be *exactly word-for-word the same*. Yet they aren't. Why? Because there are two different versions of the same passage.

    There's one serious problem with what you suggest "most likely" happened -- Scripture itself tells us exactly what *did* happen. And it tells us that Jesus read, in public, aloud, verbatim, the exact words of Isaiah in the scroll he was given to read.

    This cannot happen :eek:
    I assume that both are correct
    for both are the inerrant written Word
    of God. The contradiction is not real
    but only a temporary misunderstanding
    within myself or between myself and
    my brother/sister.

    How do you resolve it when your
    KJV seems to contradict itself?
    That is a retorical question.
    You assume the Bible is the inerrant
    written word of God and try to
    figure out what your problem is,
    cause God hasn't got a problem.

    My original post would probably gotten me banned, so I changed it.

    Precepts, I do not appreciate the attack, but I will not respond in kind. I forgive you.

    But it say those words are the ones that were written. Read the text. I'm not assuming anything-I'm taking the text at face value, believing exactly what it says: "...the place where it was WRITTEN". Those are the words as they were written--not as they were read by Jesus, not as Jesus translated them--BUT AS THEY WERE WRITTEN.

    You, on the other hand, seem to be trying to wriggle out from under what the text says because it doesn't suit your presuppositions. Why are you doubting what the KJV says?

    Michelle: "Not to mention Origen was not exactly the type of person to trust with a translation of God's word."

    What we so called "MV lovers" have been
    saying all the time is that GOD is the
    one who assures the accuracy and correctness
    of His written word NOT THE TRANSLATOR.
    It is a process called THE DIVINE PRESERVATION
    of the written Word of God.

    BTW Origen was the kind of Christian
    who took this saying of Jesus literally
    and proved it with his action:

    Matthew 18:8-9 (KJV1769):

    8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

    Repent of your ugly words against
    Brother Origen NOW
    now and save some embarrassment
    on the day the Pretribulation Raputure/resurrection
    comes by.

    --------------------------------------------------

    Now you are going on the assumption that they would read the same. All I have heard from many on these threads, is how there are variations, from one language translated into another. This is what is evidenced in the Bible, and translation of two different languages into the English language. Why then would they read the exact same (the Old Testament (Hebrew) to the New Testament (greek))? It is quite different when we refer to the modern versions, for they are based on completely different texts which underline them, than that of the KJV, and this is where the problems, contradictions and confusions come from. Face the reality, they have corrupted God's pure word of truth, and you are excusing them away, and claiming the corruptions are the very preserved words of God, while claiming the KJV has corruptions. I guess God, for 400 years allowed his people to believe corruptions, huh? I guess God did not keep his promise to all those christians prior to the modern versions?

    Trotter:"you-got-to-have-faith" and "it-is-God's-only-truth" type silliness. But, I guess I would be waiting a LONG, LONG time, huh?"

    When I read your post I thought it best to let you see how your "attack" and defamation of KJVO really looked in the same perspective. I am sorry you saw that as an attack and would react in such a way that your post would have gotten you banned if posted. If you are that easily provoked then I am sorry. I can only suggest you to lighten up and take an aspirin or something to calm your nerves, that is if you can't find what it takes to apprehend that reaction in your Bible, I know it's in mine, we call it joy unspeakable and full of glory, being filled with the Spirit.

    I never have thought it silliness to have faith or have God's Word.

    Don't let them get to you Sister Michelle. The best they can do is concoct these things and throw common sense to the 4 winds and not realize why the two read so differently.

    If Jesus were right here on BB to tell them EXACTLY where all He read from the scroll, they would still say He couldn't do that because of the way they concoct the passages in Luke and Acts and FORCE them to read.

    The truth in Luke is that Jesus read from Isaiah, it is NEVER said He read from only the passage we know as Isaiah 61:1,2. Luke was a physician and a writer of one of the Four Gospels. He would not have so casually written the account and in failing to see centuries later that what he was inspired to write would be so readily construed as to prove other versions. He gave a specific account, not a specific reference of scripture being read no more than the Book of Isaiah. Luke did say the "Book" didn't he? not the passage as the mv advocates like to think.

    As far as Acts, The Ethiopian and Philip were most certainly speaking the same language as to be able to communicate. They probably spoke in Aramaic, what they read was probably in Hebrew, what Luke wrote was in Greek. We have faith to know what Luke wrote is actually what happened. Does it also take the same faith to say that Luke is quoting the words read from Isaiah as those identical words in Hebrew as we have translated in English in the KJB? No. Just faith the same message is what is related to as to when the Ethiopian got saved. The message is not "hurt" though there are word for word differences. It's when the mv changes the message and the thought of any passage we object to that passage.

    Precepts,

    I truly do not understand you. You attack me, claiming that I am defaming the KJV. I have not. I have spoken against the man-made doctrine of KJVOnly. I am sorry that you equate this with an actual attack on the translation.

    I am still waiting on a valid arguement that shows that the KJV should be the only bible I ever need to open, since you and others have let us know that we need not look to the original languages since the KJV is the measurement of perfection.

    Attacking me serves no other purpose that to make yourself look like a school-yard bully. I have issued the challenge for a reasonable arguement, something that is of substance. "It-was-good-enough-for-Paul" and "I-know-because-I-know-because-I-know" ain't going to cut it. You can beat around the bush, you can be hateful and argue, you can duck and dodge, but I am still waiting on a reasonable debate.

    Don't worry about my nerves. Worry about my flesh. What you wrote equated to you calling my salvation into question. I do not know if that was your intent, but it was taken as such. Tread carefully.

    If you have a reasonable arguement, post it. I would be very interested in reading it, not attacking it.

    In Christ,
    Trotter

    Michelle, Then the KJVO's:kjbo's wonder why we laugh at fallacy of their view. King James Ward has posted his O-pinion of his man made myth which cannot be from God: b/c NOT ONE VERSE IN THE KJV:kjb MENTIONS THAT GOD CHOSE IT TO BE THE ONLY VERSION FOR THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD. Would someone please call "Myth Exterminators"? or Pickle Patrol? :eek: [​IMG]
