The MV scholars gave those KJV men a lot of grace. I know some of those men and they are much more knowledgeable than what they pressed the KJVO men on.

One of the KJVO men started off by saying that it was all by faith. The MV scholars had proof for their faith. The KJVO”s had none other than to s ay it was by faith.

Every piece of evidence the KJVO’s presented was shown to be false. One of the men stated that the KJV was literal equivalence. The MV scholars pointed out how that was not always true and not even possible to always be literal. The KJVO’s sounded like they were so ingrown within their own organization that they read each other’s books and were convinced they were the truth. The along comes someone who looks outside of the box and tells them they are wrong.

 

In the final analysis IMO the version debate is resolved by each believer by faith because we don't have the originals.

IMO MV users ought not to be defensive or embarrassed about the element of faith in the choice of modern versions.

Don't let the KJVO get away with implying their faith is superior because they have the "pure words" of God.

Or, in the words of Paul the apostle "God forbid".

Askjo:The reason that I said "unfair" is that Strouse had 5 minutes to answer because they interrupted him many times.

Most people can say a lot in 5 minutes, and, having listened to the tapes, he DID say a lot. You will note that Dr. Bob has said Dr. Strouse has left the Riplinger-KJVO camp.

 

Tom Strouse has never been in the Ripplinger/KJVO camp. He is and always has been a defender of the KJV and an attacker of modern versions. But he will be the first to tell you that he believes the original languages are valuable for a deeper understanding of the English text, and that minor changes in the text of the KJV have occurred and those changes are for the better. Dr. Strouse is more correctly identified a TR only man.

 

I know this may sound like a small point but I believe it is a big point. Isn't our faith to be in Jesus and not anything or anyone else?

If that is the case we must not put our faith in a translation or even in the Bible but in Jesus. If I put my faith only in the Bible then I have stopped short of what God has called me to do--be obedient. Many in the early church did not have a Bible and couild not read but could please God.

 

Amen, gb! Amen!

 

Of course, but my faith in God affects every aspect of my life including the version(s) of the Bible I use, the websites I visit, the radio stations I listen to, the amount of money I give back to the Lord, etc, etc, etc...

"The just shall live by faith".

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

I know Dr. Strouse and met him many times. Dr. Strouse has 15 children. WOW!!!

Nowadays, that's NOT the most intelligent thing one can do. Wonder whatever "possessed" him & Mrs. Strouse to try to start their own nation?


I've been busy enuff raising TWO sons. After #2, we both had "snip jobs". We had Meenie & Mienie, but we didn't want no "MO"! No matter how much MONEY one has, there's only so much ATTENTION available.

 

Askjo
What does the fact that Strouse ought to change his last name to "Potent Loins" have to do with his hairbrained theological schemes?
