The case for the KJO belief

Greek and Hebrew

 

Hence your problem...
Just because YOU don't believe something, does not mean it is not true.

The fact is the KJV is just a version.. .Just like all others.

And sorry you don't want to abide by Christ's words in John 17 about being one.

 

I would agree.

 

I find this to be a great help in our Bible studies, I encourage it.

 

Thank you.
I named NO particular version, so I don't understand some of the replies to what I posted.

 

I've never seen this. All I've ever seen is someone claim the KJV was the only real Bible and cause dissention in groups.

The "ecumenical" thing was fallacious as it was a non sequitur.

Really? You don't? Oh come now. We all know your penchant against many conservative, Bible-believing, faithful translations.

However, I do agree with the rest of your post - people should be careful in choosing Bible translations. There are heretical ones and poor ones based on bad mss. These should be avoided. I should have been more specific and I do apologize and ask for your forgiveness.

And I am a moderator; you can remove the quotes. I just got my new moderator's decoder ring :laugh:

 

It can be, but it can also go the other way. I've watched people start to doubt the validity of God's Word when different translations either say something differently, or have/have not certain passages. And it has nothing to do with KJVO. So.........please.

 

It is indeed profitable. Seems like I've heard that before....like in the preface written by the KJV translators? :tongue3:

 

Apology accepted! :thumbsup:


I ask something from all of you. In the past year or so, I've very much softened my view on some MV's. So please do not judge what I post now by what I posted in the past.

 

Again, I've never seen this. But I've been in very Biblically literate, conservative Bible believing churches. I can see where those who are not as Biblically faithful/literate might go the other way.

 

Thank you, friend.

And I'll wipe the slate clean. Hey, I used to be KJVO, so I've had to wipe the slate clean myself

 

I think this must hinge on the leader/teacher/facilitator and his attitude toward the versions. I implement this all the time and it gives great opportunities to teach on translations as well. We would normally have 3-4 versions in our Bible study, usually KJV, NKJV, ESV, and NIV with maybe a NLT sometimes.

 

Well, my church is a VERY Biblically conservative church, very much NOT KJVO, BTW. Most of the confusion has come from new believers in my SS class, or from other men in a mens Bible study we hold on Thursday evenings with men from the community who do not attend our church.

 

Great point. I think it's a great benefit to teach a "How We Got Our Bible" study in a SS, Wed night, etc. I have done it early on in every small group and every church I've pastored. It's a great apologetic resource to those who might question our precious Word, and it builds the faith of those who long have loved the Bible. I've seen people tearfully praise God when they see the great pains and care God took to give us a perfect, inerrant, inspired, infallible Word we can trust with our lives and souls.

 

Amen! :godisgood:

 

Recently came across a copy of the classic 'How We Got Our Bible' by Smyth. Not dated but looks like late 19th century. Amazing book.

 

I had to read the Lightfoot version of that title in Bible college a hundred years ago

 

I had said :"Okay,I know you don't like to consult various translations because that would confuse you -- as you have said in the past."

You need to own up to your own statements B4L. Be truthful.

From 2/10/09 you said :"I own different versions and COMPARE them, not CONSULT them.Big difference! [How you are able to compare them without consulting them remains a mystery --Rip] And comparing them leads me into confusion, which is why I stick with the KJV."

Also from the same date you informed us:"I think all the other versions of Scripture in English are
A. Unnecessary
b. Cause confusion
C. Cast doubt for new Christians on the inerrant nature of God's Word."

 

I also just said this:

What you posted was from almost a year and a half ago. I ask you not to hold me to those posts.

 

You can't have it a couple of different ways. You charged me with dishonesty. You clearly told me that you never said those things.I have quoted you accurately.

Would you like to retract all your comments made on 2/10/09, or some of them? Be specific.
