    We're still waiting for Salamander, Askjo, or any other KJVO believer, to produce even one verse that shows - or even suggests - God is settled on one particular English translation.

    Tip - don't hold your breath while waiting. :laugh:

    I wonder if God speaks with a Yorkshire accent? I sure hope he does not speak with a Glasgow accent as I cannot understand people from that fair city. :laugh:

    The conclusion of the matter is that God is not settled on one Bible translation.

    It just seems really arrogant to me to suggest that English is the preferred language of communication from God. Disturbingly arrogant.

    No KJVO has ever shown us one quark of Scripture that suggests KJVO is from GOD, while, OTOH, we Freedom Readers have shown the origin of the current KJVO doctrine to be from a 7TH DAY ADVENTIST official's book.

    Keep preserve

    Unbelievable Jehovah’s witness logic
    JW-can you show me 1 verse that said, "Jesus said He was God" You can't so he isn't
    Bible (God) corrector. Can you show me one verse where God said he preserved His word for us" you can't so He didn't
    This is Devil logic.

    do a word study on the word keep. and see if God cannot and did not keep his word in a language you could read.

    John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

    If God tells us to keep his word, would not God keep His word for us to keep?

    How can we keep his word if God did not keep his word. This makes God a lire.

    Webster 1828 I will start the word study...:wavey:

    KEEP, v.t. pret. and pp. kept. L. habeo, and capio.

    1. To hold; to retain in one's power or possession; not to lose or part with; as, to keep a house or a farm; to keep any thing in the memory, mind or heart.

    2. To have in custody for security or preservation.

    The crown of Stephanus, first king of Hungary,was always kept in the castle of Vicegrade.

    3. To preserve; to retain.

    The Lord God, merciful and gracious, keeping mercy for thousands--Ex.34.

    4. To preserve from falling or from danger; to protect; to guard or sustain.
    And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee. Gen.28. Luke 4.

    Sadly you will uphold a Keith and laugh with Keith but shoot down someone standing for a perfect preserved Bible. “Birds of a feather flock together”

    It is the one nobody else understands. They have their own private language.

    Talk about the epitome of a straw man. What does this have to do with the discussion? Not a poster here believes that God does not preserve His word. Some actually believe He can and does preserve in in modern English as well as 17th country English. He does preserve His word in a language we can read, and not have to look up 400 year old words every time we read it. I appreciate your help in arguing that point.

    So you think asking for Bible proof of a doctrine is the devil's logic?

    Nice, Ehud. But you've failed to produce even one verse that indicates God is settled on a particular Bible translation. Just like other KJVOs all you've done is quote Bible verses that have nothing to do with the topic at hand - IS GOD SETTLED ON ONE BIBLE TRANSLATION?

    Go back to the Bible and try to find one verse that even remotely suggests God is settled on one particular English Bible translation.

    HINT: Don't waste your time. You'll never be able to find such a verse because it doesn't exist. You promote an extra-biblical and false teaching.

    You've got it all wrong, Ehud. The position that makes God out to be a liar is the KJVO position. If, as you KJVOs believe, God promised to preserve His word "from this generation for ever" (Ps. 12:7) and that preserved word didn't show up until 1611 or whenever the perfect KJV was published, and if that preserved word hasn't been updated for later generations, THEN God becomes a liar and a promise-breaker.

    Ehud, please make an attempt to stay on topic or else stay out of the discussion with your off-topic comments. Your duplicate posts have nothing at all to do with the topic of discussion in this thread. If you want to start a discussion on the meaning of keep, please feel free to do so - but in a new thread. Your atempts to hijack this thread are not appreciated.

    GB posted earlier a verse that speaks to this:

    James 1:21-24, "Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was."

    Does God implant the KJV in us? Is that what saves our souls?

    Some of us who are familiar enough with our Bible do NOT have to look up something EVERYTIME we read it!

    Nice "strawman" asking for proof of a doctrine is "devil's logic".

    I believe your remark is unfounded.

    I have said that the harmony of the complete work is what proves it is the word of God.

    My studies have PROVEN this NOT to be the case with any version we ALL KNOW is meant by an "MV". Calling the KJB an "MV" is utter nonsense. You don't work up to the Pinnacle of previous versions and then manufacture many other proceeding versions and call the Pinnacle a modern version.:thumbs:

    Only introductions of fallacies bring about any question to the word of God. I have found enough inconsistencies in too many modern versions to keep wasting redeemable time with them.

    In another thread it was remarked that I might be "KJP", YES! I prefer to have the word of God in the same harmony as God would have for anyone who speaks English, or in any other language.

    What really is the tale-tale indication somethings is really amisss is the plethora of versions we have in English alone while so many other languages have NOTHING consideredd to be a "bible" in their ONLY tongue!

    Look at Papua New Guinea and see if there might be a need for a translation into just ONE island's multiple languages? Last I heard it reported was somewhere around 800 totally different languages in such a small vicinity and we all argue over the plethora of English translations!

    We already have the standard in English, what about all the other peoples in this world?:tonofbricks:
