The case for the KJO belief

Is there room for me in your minority?

 

For nearly 300 years the KJV was the dominant Bible used in all Protestant and Baptist churches. There was no confusion because it was the only version widely used. This is historical fact that cannot be denied.

It was only after 1881 when the MVs were introduced that confusion arose in the churches. So, this false charge that being KJVO is divisive is utterly hypocritical, it is the MVs that caused division in the church.

 

I'd love to! Contact me when ever you're in town.

 

"I don't think it's permissible for a teacher to ask a question....."
I thought we dealing with the class members asking questions. Sorry if I left a different impression.
One should "not bend" the Word of God; But some may need their beliefs "straighten out".
What do you think this is saying? + What do you think of this passage?= What does this mean to you (your interpretation).

 

For nearly 1000 years the Vulgate was the dominant Bible used in all Christian churches. There was no confusion because it was the only version widely used. This is historical fact that cannot be denied.

 

Those were synonyms. For example, look at the Geneva note at Matt. 27:15:

 

I understand what Bro K is saying. I have been debating regeneration with Calvinists for months now, and it is obvious that their definition of regeneration is quite different from mine. And how can you correct someone if you do not understand what they believe? Or how can they correct you?

So, it is important to learn how others interpret scripture. You cannot assume that all people rightly divide the word. In fact, I never assume that I rightly divide the word. I have changed my beliefs a few times over the years after hearing someone else's interpretation of scripture.

 

Sounds like a plan to me! And yes, there's room in my fraternity for ya!

Agreed. One of the reasons people's beliefs are crooked is they've been given carte blanche to have their own system, regardless of what the Bible teaches.

Yep. One interpretation - but a possibility of multiple "applications".

 

Many people believe what they believe because that is what has been taught to them by people they trust and love their whole lives. I have witnessed to Catholics many times, and I try to always remember that their doctrine has been taught them from the time they could walk by their parents who they trusted and loved. It is a very difficult thing to convince someone that their parents who truly loved them in sincerety taught them a falsehood. So, you have to go very slow and easy.

I work with a fellow whose family has been Jehovah's Witnesses for several generations. His belief system has been shaped by others, his definitions for words are not the same as mine. It is all he knows. So you have to be very patient with someone like this. If you are too aggressive they will throw up a wall of protection and you will never get through to them.

Lets try and keep this in the enviroment of a class; teacher or Pastor and class members. If not, it can become very confusing.
Question to ask is: How and why did they arrive at this time in their life where their "system" is not intune with God's Word?

 

Well, just this Sunday in Sunday School we had a lady who stood up and asked the Pastor if children who die go to hell. She is a very recent convert from Catholicism and is still haunted by some of the teaching she has received. As you know, a Catholic believes if a child dies before it is baptized it is damned. This doctrine was very troubling to her.

 

Look at the Geneva note at Matt. 27:15:

Those who purportedly cause an "uproar for the modern versions using Passover instead of Easter" apparently share with you a misunderstanding of the historical use of the words. Could be you're both wrong:thumbs:

 

Yes, and look at the fruit it bore. Those were fabulous times those Dark Ages when the Catholic church held men in ignorance and darkness, and burned people at the stake who dared question them.

But what has been the history of the KJV? Literally millions of people have been brought to Christ in every nation on earth.

 

Hi annsni

You said........

No cult, has ever “used” the KJV.
If they did, their people would start getting saved.

They “misuse” the KJV.
This difference may seem subtle to you & I, but God’s Word is powerful, if it is “used”!

 

Love it! :thumbs:

 

Annsni, didn't Satan employ Scripture when tempting Jesus? [Matt. 4]
Did that sully it in some way?

 

Tragically far too many Christians misuse the KJV as well
