How about some book reviews of various books on Bible versions!

I believe Brother Westcott because I have personally looked up those quotes in context, directly from their books. Askjo, have you, or have you simply repeated what you heard someone else say about them?

 

Shame on you Askjo for slandering Westcott and telling a lie.

Shame shame shame!

You really should correct yourself and regain some honor.

 

Let's try to refrain from questioning another person's salvation.

Since this was not about a person on this board I am letting it slide, but since we do not know all of the details about Mr. Westcott's life and how many misquotes have been made about him--let's let God judge him.

Is that a deal?

James R.

That is a reference to the inspiring work of God on the men themselves.

 

Amen Pastor Larry!

Here is a curiosity.

If the KJV rendering of this verse is acceptable then why not the rest of the Book?

Who said the KJV is unacceptable?

 

To refer to "inspired prophets or apostles" is in agreement with early pre-1611 English Bible terminology from the very good English Bibles of which the KJV was a revision. 1534 Tyndale's, 1537 Matthew's, 1539 Great, 1557 Whittingham's, and 1568 Bishops' Bibles rendered Mark 12:36 as follows: "for David himself inspired with the Holy Ghost."

KJV translator Lancelot Andrewes preached that Christ "inspireth them [referring to the apostles] with the Holy Ghost" (NINETY-SIX SERMONS, p. 83).

Adoniram Judson (1788-1850) Baptist missionary, called the recorders of the Scriptures "the inspired penmen" (CHRISTIAN BAPTISM, p. 78).
Baptist pastor Charles Spurgeon referred to "the inspired apostle Paul" (ALL OF GRACE, p. 116).

KJV defender Edward Hills called the writers of the Gospels "these inspired evangelists" (BELIEVING BIBLE STUDY, p. 31).

 

The rest of the Book is acceptable to me where it is faithful to the original language mss as are the other versions quoted.

My response from Cloud was similar. He basically said he didn't have time to answer some fairly straight forward questions.

One of my questions was "Who were the early 1600's new world settlers running from when they left England for the promise of religious freedom?" To me that's a pretty simple thing to address. I suppose Mr. Cloud didn't like where the answers would require him to go.

 

Shame on me? plus a lie? You defend Westcott against the Word Of God. I defend the Word of God against Westcott.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble Askjo, but you are not the Word of God. I defend Westcott against YOU, who has probably never even seen in context for yourself any of his quotes you carelessly toss around.

HankD </font>[/QUOTE]This is ONE verse -- These modern versions agree with the KJV because this verse that is one of 93% agreement of the wording of the TR and the CT is identical to the autograph.

10,000 words in modern versions rejected the 93% agreement of the wording.

 

Amen! I second that, Jim!

 

The Word of God defends Moses against Westcott. Moses defends the Word of God against Westcott.

Context defends Westcott against Askjo.

Why are you so unwilling examine your information in detail? If it is true, it will stand up to scrutiny. If it is not true, your little quips simply make it look like you're avoiding things.
