You're right about that. I won't go into details, but that is why my wife and I left the church where we were married over 21 years ago. Now, 21+ years later, there is a new pastor there. We visit occasionally, but people always say "You can't go back." It's true. That church - the body of believers that was there in 1986 - is not the same. Some have moved on. Others have passed into their eternal rewards. Others there have come since 1986. The church as we knew it in 1986 is no longer there, even though the building and grounds are there.
Have MV's caused more confusion than good?

Besides, we are all priests when it comes to being a child of God.
When there is something found in the Scripture that seems to contradict what we think others say, we need to compare. Our false dogmas don't get too much puppychow when the harmony of all Scripture is taken into concern. -
Untaught/ lack of study
Unstable/ carnal.
As far as more than one Greek translation of the O.T. being a factor, I dunno. -
John 5 Jesus has not had as much exposure to the poeple as he did in latter John 8.
IOW, not much of a record in John 5 as much as a witness, but more of the record/ fame throughout the land, concerning His miracles, of which the multitudes did follow Him, in John 8.
Again we find that the KJB is far Superior to the impression upon the mind. -

The 1611 caused a lot of constrenation rather than a benign confusion . Those who held dearly to their Geneva Bible rebuffed the KJV quite firmly . I think that the KJV did not attain solid acceptance until the 1660's .

Of course their was objection to the "new" version known as the KJB of 1611, but as the printer's errors and spelling changes were made, and later corrected, it is still the KJB that holds its ground over the multiplicity of all these MV's.
The KJB remains the Pinnacle of all English translations in the very fact it is always referred to in any conversation at length about versions. Always has been, since 1611, and always will be. Why even those who are only KJB preferred resort to the Letter to the Reader for some sort of substancial "evidence", but we know why they said what they did as to not offend by what they were certain they had accomplished.:sleeping_2: -

Yeah, "I'm much more holy if i don't have that thar ed-ukaa-shun!!!"
And they wonder why others don't take them seriously! -

But the American Pilgrims and the following generation still stuck with the Geneva primarily ( the Bishop's Bible still had some circulation though ) .

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.I will assert that the single English word "searched" is also inadequate. The word Luke wrote under the Holy Spirit's inspiration intended to communicate the example of investigating the scriptures deeply, a very thorough examination with intense scrutiny. "Searching" alone does not include these comparitive activities. In fact, the simple act of "searching" does not even imply the finding of anything.
