Jim,
Exactly why do you call those of us who do not ascribe to the KJV alone as "MV defenders"? I haven't seen anyone try to promote any modern version over the KJV, have you?
And why do you also call us "truth haters" when we
LOVE the truth? Or is it because we spurn your home-spun doctrine of KJVOnly?
Oh, and tell me, exactly what is the 'MV myth' that I partake of? You haven't explained that one, and I really have no idea what it is.
Does the truth hurt you that bad?
You actually posted some? Where? I must have missed it...
Oh yeah, that's tight, you don't want an authority other then your own selves.
Actually, I look to the word of God. And I use several different translations, in order to get a feel of the texture of a given passage. And I go to the original languages (I don't know them, but I have works by those that do
). And that is the authority I use.
But why should we expect anything other then lies and slander and attack from the mv "defenders"? I know I can't think of any reason.
Substitute 'rabid KJVOnlyists' for 'MV defenders'. Thanks for the thought, Jim.
why is it that mv "defenders" can not use their own standards to prove their claims about the perversions they love being the inspired and preserved word of God?
That's funny, I thought that was what we have been doing since the get-go. I mean, looking to the manuscript evidence, agreeing to God preserving His word (albeit in more than one translation), looking back into history to see that men (even English speaking ones!) have used more than the King James translation. And no one said that the KJV wasn't inspired by God, because it is (just like the NKJV, NASB, CEV, NIV, etc).
Oh yeah, because they are following a man made fairy tale that has no basis in truth at all.
Jim, I thought you were for the KJVOnlyists...
I know you hypocrites and liars hate me.
I've been called that before, so n o skin off my nose. But, Jim, I don't hate you. I hate the man-made doctrine of KJVOnlyism that you are so dogmatic about. I love you, brother, and would gladly stand beside you for the Lord. I honestly believe you are a child of God, or you would not be so passionate about all this. Misguided you may be, but at least you are passionate about it.
Oh well. There I go, shooting off my big mouth. I mean, how dare I actually try to reason? I guess I like banging my head against large immovable objects...
In Christ,
Trotter
PS - Am I mistaken, or is it not stated in the rules of this forum that KJVOnlists may not refer to modern versions as 'perversions' or'demonic'? Just wondering...
