Questions From A KJV-Onlyist

Thanks for the lesson. I'm sure that Psalm is very precious and reassuring to those "poor" and "needy" folks. God is going to get to them (and preserve them) one of these generations.

Do you think a fool is foolish? Perhaps it says something different in another translation. Or on one of your time-machine travels (or discussions with 3000 year old poor people) you actually discovered that the "originals" say that it's OK to call a brother foolish. Or maybe that's just your "impertinent" way of wiggling semantically out of responsibility of the verse. If you feel safe with it, then I guess just go with it and someday we'll see. Lightning indeed.

Wrong!!

 

"Thou shalt use the Oxford Revision of the King James Version and that Revision only shalt thou consult; thus saith the Pharisee."

--- Not out of the Bible, but anti-alex needs some verse he can use.

We'll call it "The Uninspired Book of Phillip".

I'll add to my uninspired Book as they need references. That can be Chapter 1 verse 1.

Oh, Let's go ahead and add verse two.

"Thou mayest calleth it the AV1611. Behold, it is written; behold, it art done."

 

I'm not wearing a badge of anything. I'm just pointing out that my brother called me a fool. It is one thing to call a doctrine or a conviction foolish. (I'd even be very careful there.) But you two have said that we (brothers) are foolish. It is your word. If it were me, I'd apologize. (With fear and trembling) It wouldn't weaken your position at all. I guess it's just the pastor in me coming out. You boys do what you like. Consider yourself exhorted.

If the KJV is the "very wordS of God," then you can say to a person "YOU fool!" or "You're foolish!"... you just can't say "THOU fool!"

 

I think so. Inerrancy
of the KJV1769 onlyism means that every
word in the KJV1769 is inspired AS IS.
No attempt should be made to try to figure out
what God was trying to tell you.

Proverbs 17:28 (CEV= Contemporary English Version)

Even fools seem smart when they are quiet

 

This isn't funny. It's not cute. I'd be very careful that you don't win the battle and lose the war. Consider yourself rebuked.

Pastor Lacy

 

I'd agree we shouldn't call a brother foolish. But some of the "speak" from the KJBO side seems pretty contemptuous of those of us who value "scholarship".

As I said, it seems that some of us are being a little selective when we say "scholarship."

Scholarship means using intellectual tools to learn things - again - this is not BAD. Scolarship can TEACH US MORE about God's word. That's a good thing!! We may find that some of our traditional beliefs are not always quite right - but hey I'm always willing to learn.

And people like Sam Gipp and Gail Riplinger are not really scholars. They set out with their conclusions ALREADY MADE and work back from there!!

 

Exactly what issue requires that you disobey a direct command of Jesus Christ in order for it to be "debated" properly. It seems to me like folks (You included, Mr. Moderator.) are much more interested in winning a debate than acting like a Christian. If rebuke has no part then why rebuke me for rebuking. I love debate. If you read my threads, however, you'll see that I get on to KJVO's when they are ugly too.

KJV 2 Timothy 4:1-2
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Obey man or God?

Lacy, I suggest you study the book of Matthew to understand why Christ said what He did regarding the term "thou fool." Remember, Christ had made claims to being God in the flesh. He claimed to be the Messiah, the Savior. When the scribes and Pharisees heard this they called Him a fool for making such claims. It is not calling a person a fool that places one in danger of hell fire. It is calling Christ a fool for claiming to be the Messiah which places a person in danger of hell fire. God says "thou fool" to a man in Luke 12:20 and Paul says "thou fool" to those who deny the Resurrection in 1 Cor. 15:36. Paul is not in danger of hell fire for calling those who deny the Resurrection fools, but the fools who deny the Resurrection, just as the fools who deny that Christ is God in the flesh, are in danger of hell fire.

 

Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Whichever version one is reading, that is just bad "scholarship". Can you be angry without cause at anyone but Christ? Can you call anyone but Christ Raca?

God can call anyone he wants a fool.(Luke 12:20) And Paul was speaking of a hypothetical "some man." (1 Cor. 15:35,36) Brother Bob and Brother Ed were talking about people here on these boards who went to church this morning and sang Amazing Grace. We disagree on God's method of preservation of scripture. That was the original debate. I may hold some foolish beliefs. I have changed my mind on many things over the years. I might change my mind on the KJVO issue (Don't hold your breath.) But the fact and the reality is that I'm a blood bought child of God who has a lot to learn and so are all of you. I am your brother in Christ and you are mine. Point out my error. It is your job. But to call me a fool for disagreeing with you is presumptuous. Who am I to call you a "fool" or "Raca" because you are at a different stage of growth in your doctrine.

Job 12:2. No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
3. But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

But, of course, the bible does not say that calling a brother a fool is "presumptuous." It says that he who calls his brother a fool is in danger of hell fire. If that is true, then eternal security of the believer is a lie. Either that you the reference is to the scribes and Pharisees denying the deity of Christ. You can't have it both ways.
