    My church is KJVO. We don't make a big deal out of it. We just feel it is the preserved word of God in our language as He wants us to have it. Are other versions the word of God? I dunno. The KJV is what I have used all my life. I will continue.

    Ooh, you're close in numbers, brother! We'll have to make you an honorary missionary! :saint: You probably know more about the churches in the States nowadays and the translation issues than we missionaries do, being overseas like we are!

    Oh, yeah, those questionaires. I got one once that was 7 pages long, including such stuff as would we adopt a child and were our grown children living for Christ. I knew immediately that we had lost that church's support, and we did. Oh and by the way, that man's oldest son later quit Bible college, was estranged from the family, and ended up being shot dead by his friend--in the friend's bedroom, and that is all I will say. Very sad. :tear:

    How could anyone decide who knew more? He'd have to know all the churches, then know which ones Pipedude knew, and then compute the percentage. Then know which ones JoJ knew, then compute the percentage. And so on. So it's an unprofitable question.

    I will confess that my rash of itinerancy occurrred long ago, and the situation may have changed by now. Becoming KJVO is an error tailor-made for our movement due to our history, our filtering system (whereby we exclude those who don't conform well), and the attrition naturally occurring among the more gifted who are more inclined to pride and attracted by the "wider field of service" offered in New Evangelicalism. So the problem has spread, and I can only guess at how far.

    Regardless, your estimation of the extent of KJVOism and mine were the same.

    And that is in my...bubble pipe and I'm...making bubbles with it.

    I grew up IFB, am IFB by conviction, and will die IFB, but sometimes some of the movement...well...:BangHead:

    You would think this would be self evident, but it's not exactly true. Some American missionaries are pushing their own brand of KJVOism in Spanish; A new translation -- directly from the KJV, not the original language manucsripts -- has been produced (although its clumsiness has kept it from being embraced), and a new edition of the Reina-Valera -- corrected by reference to the KJV -- is also being pushed.

    Hmm. Wouldn't you know it. Maybe a new term is needed: SVP for Single Version Position, or something.

    I was raised by a Southern Baptist Deacon, who, if he were alive today, would be IFB due to the liberalization of the Southern Baptist out west.

    I am now IFBKJO, as so many here already know. I grew up with the KJB and see absolutely no reason to accept another, as it is as close as you can get to the Textus Receptus. I got locked out of here for standing up for the KJV in one thread. I hope it doesnt' happen again, my Pastor was livid when he found out. He said it was a violation of my rights.

    No one was ever locked out for standing up for the KJV if they do so according to clearly established rules.

    I always stand up for the KJV - it is my version of choice. In our IFB church here the KJV is the version of choice, but we are not KJVO.

    Umm...

    BB moderators aren't the Government. The BB ain't a government entity.

    "violation of my rights." That's funny.

    I don't get "livid" about much of anything on a message board...I especially don't get "livid" about something that a 3rd party is steamed about on a message board.

    Sounds like someone needs a hobby.

    Dcorbett: //He said it was a violation of my rights.//

    Dcorbett: // ... if he were alive today, would be IFB
    due to the liberalization of the Southern Baptist out west.//

    Excuse me, Mam, but you have violated my rights.
    I've been a Texas or Oklahoma (out west) Southern
    Baptist for 55 years, 42 of those years as an adult person.
    During that time I've worked HARD and long for
    enhansing the conservative side of the SBC.
    So please further limit your phrase about
    'liberalization of the Southern Baptist' to
    the liberalization of specific local churches in Colorado
    /or whereever/. Thank you for your kind consideration.

    BTW, denouncing the fundamentalist/conservatives
    in the SBC goes against the purpose and rules of this
    forum. This Forum is supposed to be a safe place for
    the fundamentalist NOT for the IFB denomination only.

    As kindly as I can say it my friend....
    This is a PRIVATE board. Do you remember when you signed up? You had to get permission to post here. Not until you were approved did you get the prvilege to post. One ought to treat a privilege with the due diligence a priviliege deserves.
    Your only 'rights' here are the opposite of your 'lefts'. (as in right hand and left hand)

    BTW, I am a rabid KJVO. My Pastor was trained by that 'ol Junkyard Dog' in Pensacola. And I was trained by my Pastor. But Pastor ain't NOTHING like P.S. Ruckman, neither am I. Thought you might like to know who it was that is addressing your error.

    As to your other comments, some SBC ARE liberal. Many are not. Go figure.

    The people who moderate these message boards are not congress. Freedom of speech and religion apply to public forums- not privately owned and operated web sites. I can't go into your Pastors church, get up in front of everyone, and start saying how the position of KJVO is a myth. I have freedom of speech, but not a platform to give that speech. And I certainly cannot expect to use another persons (or peoples) private platform as my own (or as a public one).

    These boards give people a lot of chances to be respectful when debating hot issues. But when rules are consistently broken, the moderators here have an obligation to act- and the members here have an obligation to abide by the fair rules that are set in place.

    The problem is people believe in something so strongly, they get all hot headed, and then break a rule in the heat of a debate. When they are confronted with it, they think they are being harassed for what they believe- but in reality, it's just because they broke a rule that applies to everyone else just as it applies to them.

    This says it well for me personally.

    The second sentence however does not describe the pastor. He is one of those that can get nit-picky about it.
