Orthographical and typographical updating;bringing punctuation and sentence structure up to date,these wre honest revisions which produced the pure text we(bible believers)have today in the universal language of the end times.But, if someone thinks that what been going on since 1880 with the MV's is to be compared to the TRUE revisions of the pure bible(AV1611)is not sound thinking.
Brian that is what I have been trying to tell you. Your problem is authority.The only authority you will accept is yours or some originals that no one has.
Taken from "The Myth of Early Revisions" from biblebelievers.com...
So, God gave His Word to the men who penned it, men who will still "make plenty of errors," and it had been handled by men (who will still make plenty of errors) for 1600 years (give or take a few), but yet when it gets to the printers, God suddenly removes his "protection" and errors were made???
I'm sorry, but I just can't buy that. That was about as far as I was able to get. If the whole article is composed of logic like that, what's the point of reading any further??
If you were to convert to KJO PLEASE don't tell anyone.I don't want them to think you and I have anything in common. As it is right now you are one of my best defences for KJV.
That's my whole point. If what Peter, who was unlearned, recorded what was to become Scripture, and God preserved it down through the ages, then why wasn't He able to keep the printers from making errors??
And for the poster (I'm sorry, your name has slipped my mind at the moment) who commented on
my "admitting" that I was a heretic, I believe that the tongue was planted firmly in the cheek. Or couldn't you tell from the smilies??
Same reason He used a unlearned man to do His will.I have seen plenty of good,quality bibles printed today that had typos in it;how do you explain that? Now,with ALL of this modern technoligy,how can God allow such slip ups??
Since we don't believe the KJV or the modern Bibles are supernaturally protected from every kind of human mechanical error, we don't have to explain anything.
It's the KJV-onlyists who have to explain why printer's errors in the KJV don't "count."
Note, the name is the King James Authorized VERSION.
It's a version of the Greek/Hebrew.
Even in the title, it says nothing about being the authoritative word of God.
