    Who "outlawed" the Geneva in America then? Wasn't the Geneva the Bible of choice by the pilgrims of the early 1600's???

    To argue that the Geneva is somehow equal or better than the KJB is stupendous. The proof is that the KJB replaced the Geneva in this Republic which advertantly disposed of any English domination and fro every reason.

    That's not valid reasoning, Salamander. If the Geneva Bible was no longer available in print, then of course people would get what they could get. Thus the KJV grew in circulation - not due to its superiority as you think but due to its availability. Tell me this: Can you go to a new car dealer and buy a new Model T right off the lot? Of course not, so you buy what you can get. So is it with the availability of Bibles and many other things.

    For those that may reading this later I will point out now that "context" is a common Salamander response to any assertion he cannot otherwise legitimately refute. Notice that he offers no explanation or evidence of the alleged contextual misinterpretation.

    Then you are not only against MVs, you are against anything God did except for in 1611.... amazing.

    Isn't that the truth...

    I know a couple IFBs that would fit right in to Salem...:BangHead:

    Actually, the IFBs of today had nothing to do with the puritans...
    the Puritans wanted to "purify" the established church...

    The IFBs today are more like the Seperatists.. Seperate from the established church....

    It is really too bad that Paul wasn't born later as an Englishman so he could have used the "perfect" Bible.

    It is too bad that God in his infinite wisdom did not wait for Jesus to come later so he could have used the "perfect" Bible. However, God in His infinite wisdom chose a different time when English did not exist. According to the KJVO's God did not know what he was doing and got it all wrong because nobody had a "perfect" Bible before the KJV.

    Thank you for admitting the KJB was more like a Ferrari when compared to the Geneva being a Model T:laugh:

    If your reasoning was valid on that ideal, then the NIV would have taken over due to the financial aspect alone. But then that alone is the opnly aspect the NIV could begin to advance in sales, gifts? :laugh:

    I wouldn't be surprised if some one thought giving the NIV as a gift was some sort of infringement upon the copywrite laws.:tonofbricks:

    The again, when you consider things in the realm of human reasoning is where you made your mistake. If the Lord didn't want the Geneva replaced it wouldn't have happened. If the Lord wanted the KJB replaced it would already have happened. Some woulod argue it is being replaced, but then the aspect of the degeneration of man as a wholistic approach to Christianity is concerned, has to be incorporated and would deny that as any form of a fact.:sleeping_2:

    So you would like to introduce some less of an understanding of the depth of their searching the Scriptures daily as some sort of "proof":laugh:

    Seems when some one searches daily they are considering much more than you'd like to believe they did.

    The KJB is very concise and therefore superior again.:sleeping_2:

    Careful on your witchhunt there.

    Actually the pilgrims were made up of more the Plymouth Brethren which were Puritans but then you have to take into consideration that the IFB's were in the underlayment all along and were established by those who believed in a closer walk with the Lord rather than the established form of religion attemtpted by men.

    Maybe in your neck opf the woods, but no one can dare attemtp to lump up IFB's into any one catagory such as you have and be accurate.

    Let them keep dreaming and allowing myself to be in their dreams while I try to instill sound doctrine sublimily into their consciences. Having compassion and making a difference. Christians do need to improve,y'know.

    If you do know what standard practice was for those who fell asleep, I hope that your church is not like that.
