Featured Should KJVO be called a cult?

The AV 1611 itself proves this premise wrong. It has this marginal note for the 2nd "them" in V7:"Heb. him, I. euery one of them." the premise itself comes straight outta 7TH DAY ADVENTIST Dr. Ben Wilkinson's book, via Ray & Dr. Fuller...the "founding fathers' of the KJVO myth.

Not when the vast preponderance of evidence is against that interp.

It's called the "Scriptural manuscripts" that God has preserved for us.

You don't have to. GOD preserved ALL the ancient Scriptural mss. we have. That's easy!

Some are factual; others are opinion and guesswork.

Just like a victim of a fatal disease who keeps visiting various doctors until he finds one who tells him he's NOT fatally ill.

But you know the first English Bible brought to what's now the USA was the GENEVA BIBLE. And the first "Reformation" Bible was Luther's German Bible.

That's cuz mosta the MVs haven't existed that long. It was quite a while before the KJV became the #1 English version, and it took the interference of the British govt. to replace the Geneva with the KJV.

However, the KJV is still the MOST-PRINTED book in history, if not the most-read, even though the KJV's history is short compared to that of the Latin Vulgate.

And there could yet come more under some other version.

But can you, or anyone else, PROVE they're supposed to be there?

The KJV, as are all other English Bible translations, is the product of God's perfect word being handled by imperfect men.

Now, nothing wrong with using only the KJV, long as one doesn't spread the false KJVO MYTH. Apparently, YOU subscribe to it, as you repeated the false "Psalm 12:6-7 thingie" and said you'd recommend people switch to the KJV.

I posted the man-made origin of the KJVO myth...derived from a CULT OFFICIAL'S book by two dishonest authors, a myth that's given rise to charlatans such as Ruckman and Riplinger.

Fact is, GOD IS NOT LIMITED to the KJV nor any other one English version. He keeps His word current in English & the other major languages. Again, nothing wrong with having a "pet" version, but there's plenty wrong with dissing every other version but one's fave. Now, while there ARE bogus and cult-specific versions out there, the TRUE Christian will quickly recognize them.

Now, while I stated in the OP that KJVO isn't a cult, I don't hesitete to call it a FALSE DOCTRINE, based upon a packa lies and tall tales.

 

And by the same token, passover isn't Easter, either.

 

There's a point where faith leaves off and guesswork & opinion begins. And the KJVO myth has passed that point by a large measure.

Not one true Baptist argues otherwise.

Well, actually, it's the TREE of life. Please check the Greek for yourself.

That's why GOD chose to preserve well over 5K manuscripts or fragments thereof of His written word. We have those mss. from which to make translations of His word in our languages, and with which to check the accuracy of those translations.

There's NOTHING in God's written word that limits Him to any one translation in a given language. GOD may present His word to us any way He jolly well chooses. There's simply not the least quark of the slightest implication in Scripture supporting the KJVO myth.

WE KNOW the MAN-MADE origin of KJVO. However, NO KJVO can show us anything from GOD supporting such an idea.

 

Aint seen one yet. However, I HAVE seen more than one shingle in fronta a church reading "1611 KJV Only" or similar.

Of those who support only one given version, only the KJVOs claim their pet is perfect, while ignoring or glossing over its obvious goofs.

That's cuz their leadership has subscribed to the false KJVO myth, & they've led others into the same fallacy.

Again, cuz they don't know any better. They bypass such goofs in the KJV as "Easter" in Acts 12;4, or "the love of money is THE root of ALL evil" in 1 Tim. 6:10. The "perfection" claim is one of the lies of the KJVO myth.

 

As I said earlier, two "churches" that meet the common definition of "cult" are "paster" Steven Anderson't Faithful Word IFB church of Phoenix, AZ, & Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptict Church of Topeka, KS.

Among Anderson's goofy anti-everything rhetoric, he claimsta worship the KJV, while there's nothing more to say about Westboro; we all know how apostate it is.

And yes, a whole cultic industry has grown from the KJVO myth. Rucky & Rippy each have their own camps, along with those of other lesser lights such as Moorman, Bynum, waite, etc. And all their stuff is phony as a Chevy F-150.

 

Thing is, no one is or has ever been saved by the KJV. Only JESUS saves.

Now, for years, on many discussion groups, and on the internet, I've heard the definitions for many types of KJVOs. Dr. Bob set forth such definitions in this forum. I don't count "KJV-PREFERRED" as KJVOs cuz they recognize other English Bible translations as valid, even though they don't use them but very little, if at all.

However, the line is drawn when one doesn't believe any other English Bible translation is valid. That's a FALSE belief, derived from a cult official's book. And become too-enthralled with that false doctrine can lead to cultic behavior.

But, as I said earlier...Being KJVO whatsoever is simply...INCORRECT.
