    HankD
    </font>[/QUOTE]Tee Hee - you are too much Brother
    HankD. Of course, i think there are also
    inerrant footnotes on the odd numbered pages.

    Timothy 1769: "Are all the variations in the foonotes inerrant too?"

    Short answer: Yes.

    Longer answer: In that they help convey the meaning of the
    translated text, the footnotes are inerrant.
    (The letter order in English is NOT inerrant.)
    (The word order in English is NOT inerrant.)
    The meaning of the words is inerrant
    in my New King James Version (nKJV),
    including the translator footnotes.

    Also, the nKJV is much more HONEST than
    the KJV1769 without translator footnotes.
    The lack of translator footnotes in
    the KJV1769 is dishonest. In fact, the
    source from which the Bible is translated,
    not being the original autographs, has
    variations (under 4% of the words are
    involved). KJV1769 without sidenotes
    or footnotes is dishonest. nKJV
    and KJV1611 with footnotes
    and even KJV1873 with footnotes are all
    HONEST.

    BTW, i do know some who try to be a pastor
    who distain footnotes. I wonder how anybody
    that can explain the difference between
    open communtion and closed Lord's Supper
    can't explain the footnotes.

    My new Bible:

    THIRD MILLENNIUM BIBLE (TMB),
    New Authorized Version (NAV)
    (Dickinson Press, Inc.; 1998)

    This Bible is inerrant, of course.

    Interesting week that i was gone.
    I see some 36 hour topics, that is:
    a topic that lasts 36 hours and then
    quits. It will be kinda hard to keep
    up with that while gone for 8 days
    and 7 nights.

    Some people believe that the Bible has minor errors from a human point of view, but that it is nonetheless inspired. [​IMG]

    without error; i suppose such a person would
    believe the "seems to be an error" type error
    is inspired? Personally i'm going with
    the no-error type "inerrant".
