Debating versus Arguing

Now this is the kind of post I like to see Well reasoned and with examples.

Brother, I would be more then happy to deal with it, but not in this thread, I did not post that to be confrontational. It is merely a statement of my belief, and I have definently been told it often enough by MV proponents that as far as I know, it is fair to say that it is at least a majority opinion on both sides.

Websters defines doctrine as:
"DOCTRINE, n. [L., to teach.]
1. In a general sense, whatever is taught. Hence, a principle or position in any science; whatever is laid down as true by an instructor or master. The doctrines of the gospel are the principles or truths taught by Christ and his apostles. The doctrines of Plato are the principles which he taught. Hence a doctrine may be true or false; it may be a mere tenet or opinion."

If I say that God says that He will preserve His Word to all generations and that I have it in my KJV, and you say that He did not say that, then one of us must be in conflict with God's actual doctrine because we can't both be right.

But please folks, lets remember that we are Christians and that we have to respect the other brother.

 

Works for me.

 

Well, I have had such charges laid against me many times and had verses thrown at me to boot.

And I am willing to deal with as many responses as I can, but I do have other things to do around here then rise at the crack of dawn and go until midnight trying to keep up with all the questions, many of which are well reasoned and deserve a well thought out answer. Is it fair to someone who carefully works out a post with a serious, well thought out question, if I do not have time to answer it properly?

And I honestly did my best to portray that as what I believe, rather then making it an attack on all my opponents. If I failed, it was not my intention.

 

Respectfully sir, I stated my opinion, based on what I see in my Bible, an attack was not meant. All I was trying to do was illustrate the differences between us, but the fact that we are all fellow believers.
I have certainly been accused of being a heretic often enough to know that many on both sides hold the position that the other is in doctrinal error. If offense was given, I humbly apologize.

 

Respectfully sir, you misread my post, possibly I worded it confusingly. What I was trying to say is that I believe that God promised in His Word to preserve it forever, and I believe that it is in the KJV, I was not trying to say that He promised the KJV would contain it.

 

Yes sir, that is where I believe the Word of God is in the English language.

 

This thread has veered way off topic, and I am signing off for the night, but to reiterate, I believe in a position that many on here do not, but there are many on here who do not agree with my position who are God honoring and God serving Christians, hence I will do my best to be polite when I debate on here. And I would appreciate it if those who do not agree with me would take the same attitude. If anybody has something they wish to discuss with me, feel free to PM me, I will do my very best to give a serious, biblical response to any question that is asked.
As we are all Christians, let us behave like it. And remember this great truth, Jesus Loves each and every one of us. And that includes your opponent too.

In Christ,
