    See my post numbered 25 for the support that the KJV renderings are wrong.

    See my post numbered 28 to see my support that the KJV renderings are wrong.

    See my post numbered 29 showing that the KJV renderings are wrong.

    Once again, you haven't been paying attention. I already acknowledged that these seven examples were archaic wordings and accurate at the time. Didn't you bother to look at my response to Franklinmonroe in post #64?

    See my post numbered 46 to discover my support as to why the KJV renderings are wrong. BTW,2 Tim. 3:3 is included.

    I borrowed this from James White's updated book :The King James Only Controversy.

    Hebrews 9:7

    KJV : "... for the errors of the people

    NASB : "...for the sins of the people committed in ignorance

    281 :'One may look high and low in the KJV for the idea that the sins being spoken of were 'committed in ignorance,' yet the Greek is very expressive."

    He has a footnote saying:"The text reads ...'sins committed in ignorance.'

    You are becoming unhinged. I pointed you to the particular posts that I had made when you charged me with giving no support for saying a number of KJV were in error.

    You are being absurd.You think that my directing you to posts that you didn't bother to read is being like a KJVO?!

    That's one sign of your attitude -- you just fly off the handle. You don't read all my posts -- you just react without investigating.

    Slow down. Take a deep breath. Think. Pray. Read in a comprehensive manner. Obey what the KJV enjoins.

    Who is Avery -- your pet rabbit? Like Harvey?

    Uh, no, that text does not so read. The text reads agnohmatw which here is translated "errors." If you do a work search in the NASB you will see the same word translated "sins."

    And you, sir, are a pathetic liar.
    Yeah. 25 posts after your initial spam.
    I read, and responded, to your posts in order. You do understand the concept of "order" don't you?
    Again you tell an egregious lie to cover your own folly.
    I read all your posts, and responded to them, IN ORDER. What part of IN ORDER don't you understand?
    You really are a pathetic example of a condescending loser. I actually feel sorry for you.

    Looking at your latter posts I see that you now admit that about 1/3 of your KJV "errors" were not actually errors? So you admit you, and your source, were wrong in 1/3 of the verses quoted. Want to deal with the other 2/3? Maybe you are capable of learning something after all.

    The same Greek word appears 15 other times in the NT; below are the other 4 times it appears in the book of Mark. I am showing the KJV and NLT (as the OP did) along with the NIV and NASB for comparison --
    Mark 3:1
    And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. (KJV)

    Jesus went into the synagogue again and noticed a man with a deformed hand. (New Living Translation ©1996)

    Another time he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. (NIV)

    He entered again into a synagogue; and a man was there whose hand was withered. (NASB)

    Mark 3:3
    And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. (KJV)

    Jesus said to the man, "Come and stand in front of everyone." (NLT ©1996)

    Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.” (NIV)

    He said to the man with the withered hand, "*Get up and come forward!" (NASB)

    Mark 4:6
    But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. (KJV)

    but it soon wilted beneath the hot sun and died because the roots had no nourishment in the shallow soil. (NLT ©1996)

    But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. (NIV)

    "And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. (NASB)

    Mark 5:29
    And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that plague. (KJV)

    Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel that she had been healed! (NLT ©1996)

    Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. (NIV)

    Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. (NASB)
    The KJV consistently renders the Greek word xeraino (Strong's #3583, meaning to make dry) as "withered" or similar English term, such as "pineth" (which means to languish or waste away). All four versions seem to agree on the meaning at Mark 4:6. The NIV & NASB seem to agree with the KJV against the NLT twice of the remaining 3 samples (I don't feel that "deformed" has the same relationship to "withered" that "shriveled" has), while the NIV alone is in harmony with the NLT against the KJV & NASB only once. But apparently (because of Mark 4:6 and verses in other books not shown here) the NLT does indeed recognize that this Greek word CAN mean "wilted" or synonyms such as "withered".

    Finally, I realize that I used the 1996 NLT but there are many still out there. It is not yet clear to me why all three (NLT, NIV, NASB) chose the meaning of 'rigid' or 'stiff' at 9:18 (except on the face it seems to fit the context).

    Hey Bud, is that a Valkerie in your avatar?

    I had a Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad 1600 with cobras and hard saddle bags pretty chromed out that I loved. Sold it two years ago.

    Well, now you have validated what I said at 8:27 PM. yesterday.

    No spam.

    What egregious lie? Now tell the truth.

    And then, later in this same post of yours you admit that you finally looked at my latter posts. So, you did not look at my posts in order.




    Yes, how many times do you want me to say it? Just take the time to read before you explode. May I suggest you read the book of Proverbs in the KJV and actually apply the contents.

    Well, others have taken the time to enlighten me about the fact that the other examples were merely archaic expressions which were accurate at the time. If you or others can prove that the remainder are not errors I would be more than happy to acknowledge that.

    Yes. Are you capable of being less caustic and condescending? That's one tall order for you to fill.

    And, as I feared, rather than deal with the very REAL question of problems in the KJV, this has turned into personal ugliness.

    And 10 page limit.

    Again, I would encourage a thread with ONE issue/example and deal in depth with such rather than shotgun (and many pages passing) approach.

    Just a suggestion as I bid all good-night.
