Is there any evidence?

10 Questions for the Non-KJO

Well, Keith let us do a little exploratory of your non-one-versionist views.

1. Do you belive the original Autographs were inspired by God? Part of it or all of it?
2. Do you believe that any Bible is inspired today?
3. Which one?
4. Do all Bibles have errors?
5. If yes, which one has the least error?
6. Do you believe that God preserved His or part of His word or parts of His word?
7. Where?
8. What is your authority for your views? History? Language? Professor Whatchamahaczysz? Logic? Reasoning? Your thoughts? Your support tools? What?
9. Do you believe that the scriptures can THROUGHLY FURNISH the man of God or must he use support tools?
10. If you do, which?

 

That is exactly what some thread killers want. If I am being mean spirited, please call my attention to it specifically. -- Herb Evans

 

Let's just put it this way - both sides need to step back and take a deep breath. We are supposed to be brothers in Christ here and using personal names that are not associated with screen names or signatures is frowned on here.

 

Okay, I used Philip, and Keith used Cranston; I did not realize that was being mean spirited. Now, that I know, I will abide by your rule. -- Herb Evans

 

The issue or point concerns whether there is any valid evidence for suggesting that only the KJV is the Bible or the word of God.

Is the word of God only the 1535 Coverdale's Bible? Is the Bible only the Great Bible? Is the word of God only the 1560 Geneva Bible? Is the Bible only Luther's German Bible? Is the word of God only the Spanish Valera?
Is the Bible only the 1611 KJV or the 1769 KJV or some other KJV edition?

The 1611 KJV is only one branch of the KJV-only tree of good Bibles. It is not the entire tree. The KJV is a revision of earlier English Bibles (Tyndale's to Bishops') along with being a translation of the preserved Scriptures in the original languages. Was the KJV a revision of earlier English Bibles that were or were not the word of God? What happens when one branch is cut off a tree and is purposely separated from the other branches and from its trunk and roots?

Without a connection to its original language sources and its English foundation of the pre-1611 English Bibles, how can it be accurately determined which edition of the many varying editions is the best one?
Was the KJV a revision of pre-1611 English Bibles that were or were not profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness?

 

Let's do this elsewhere please

 

What about Luke 4 suggests to you that He read from a text?

 

Are these support tools as inspired, infallible, and inerrant as the word of God, or are they man made? Do they have errors in them? -- Herb Evans

Sir, thank you for giving us a profile on what you believe. I would like for you to CLEARLY clarify the points that I addressed above before I answer this question. --Herb Evans

 

These early English Bible are not in public usage or publication. They served there purpose until the KJB and wer basically good Bibles. The Spanish will have to determine their own Bible. -- Herb Evans

While you are correct about the KJB Bible's roots, the KJB is not a revision of those Bibles. The KJB translators diligently compared those Bibles and other languguage Bibles. -- Herb Evans

Without a connection to its original language sources and its English foundation of the pre-1611 English Bibles, how can it be accurately determined which edition of the many varying editions is the best one?
Was the KJV a revision of pre-1611 English Bibles that were or were not profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness?

You are assuming that it must be man's determination. That is a humanistic way to look at it. God determines that, and I trust Him for that.

But let us stop for a minute and determine whether the Bible should have 66 books or should it include the Apochrapha and the Bishop of Hermes. How do you determine that from a humanistic view?--Herb Evans

 

I am KJO and I recommend the KJB. But that was not the point of my post to Keith. -- Herb Evans

And does a "valid" version mean? Who decides? Are you a "Valid Versions Only?-- Herb Evans

The question was , And when we find it, will you or Keith take up the challenge? [You did not mention the JW bible (NWT)].-- Herb Evans

Again, the "valid" version thing! Of course, you get to decide which versions are valid and not any KJO. The only Bible that has not expired is the One that was originally inspired and has been preserved until today. Our Bible has not expired and we have it today. All you have to do is to list for us a half dozen of post KJB bible since the KJB that are inspired. -- Herb Evans

 

Luke 4:17-20
(17) And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
(18) The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
(19) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
(20) And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.


I, like Roby would like to find this same passage written like he read it somewhere.

 

Thank you. I see you're referring to Luke 4:16 or thereabouts.
