Hi again pinoybaptist
It seems like I am having to say this, over and over again;
This post, has nothing to do, with the KJV.
--------------------------------------------------
It is all about the fairy tale, that God’s Word has somehow been lost.
And as a result, Christians are being told, that there is “no Bible”, that can be trusted.
--------------------------------------------------
I am not accusing anybody of anything, I am just asking for people, to “take a stand” on the Bible that you believe to be trustworthy.
I am not forcing anybody to take a stand, I am just asking to hear from those how can.
If I have offended you in any way, I do apologize.

Hi 4His_glory
Nice to hear from you.
You asked.......
Absolutely. It must be wonderful, being able to understand more than one language.
And take a stand on any Bible in any language that you trust to be God’s Word! -
Hi preachinjesus
Nice to hear from you.
I don’t think anybody is fighting here.
We are just sharing opinions.
--------------------------------------------------
If you read the post, that you know that I am asking people the very simple question, of which Bible translation, do that trust as God’s Word.
Although I am unfamiliar with UBS4 BHS, if that is your choice, than welcome. -
Hi righteousdude2
Nice to hear from you. And I like your handle.
You said.......
Thank you for participating! -
Hi again C4K
You quoted me.......
But as I have already said, I have “no hidden motive” at all.
-Just a simple question!- -

Hi Revmitchell
Nice to hear from you.
I know, that it is hard for most people to believe, but this post has nothing to do with the KJV at all.
So far at least 10 different versions of the Bible have been talked about.
--------------------------------------------------
You also said.......
“I also think we do not need to accept any translation as acceptable just because someone says it is a translation.”Click to expand...
Hope to hear from you again -

Hi again preachinjesus
I’m glad that you preach Jesus.
You said.......
“If you want to only study from one Bible (why I have no clue) seriously go and learn Greek and Hebrew and get a UBS4 (or NA27 I don't care) and a BHS and then you can claim to have an authoritative text. Otherwise, we are just taking some ole translator's word for it.”Click to expand...
The reason that it is vitally important, for me to only study one Bible, is because I am saved, and I want to hear from the LORD, without doubting the words that I am reading.
The way that I see it, is if anybody uses more than one Bible to study from, they are just asking for trouble. Because soon they must start asking themselves, “which one is right”.
If we(who don’t know Gk. or Heb.) are going to trust our eternity to a book; We had better believe that it is 100% accurate.
-If you don’t, you are just kidding yourself!- -
Hi preachinjesus
Boy I am glad to hear from you again.
First you asked.......
“Let me very direct with you: why do you have to fight?”Click to expand...
As a matter of fact, that one time that I said, “As for the subject of “relativism”: This is exactly what I am fighting against.”.
-That was said in response to someone accusing me of preaching relativism.-
--------------------------------------------------
As for your “better question”.......
“Who here has said no Bible is correct?”Click to expand...
Doesn’t that sound like to you, that they are saying, that “No Bible is Correct”.
--------------------------------------------------
Then finally you asked.......
“Why do we have to fight about silly stuff like this?”Click to expand...
Hope to hear from you again. -
I wonder how the KJVO folks approach foreign missions outside of English speakers?

Hi Amy.G
Here is what you said........
“And there it is in a nutshell. Every english bible that has ever existed is a translation of the Greek and Hebrew.”Click to expand... -
stilllearning said:Do you really think, standing up for God Word, is silly. I don’t.Click to expand...
"For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
Your stance does not even come close to the capacity of God's word. -
stilllearning said:Hi Amy.G
Here is what you said........
I agree with that.Click to expand... -
Hi again pinoybaptist
Here is what you said......
“in our brother's mind there, the only true Bible is the kjv Bible, and his dare is because he feels that deep in everybody's heart, they feel the kjv and only the kjv is THE Bible, and no one would really take a 'stand' on the Bible he/she is using.”Click to expand...
No, this isn’t true. And let me say still another time. My post has nothing to do with the KJV. The only time it was mentioned, was when I started us off, by naming the Bible that I can take a stand on. -
Hi menageriekeeper
Nice to hear from you
You said.........
“Stilllearning, who are we to tell God that He is only allowed to speak to us in Old English?”Click to expand...
We have been talking about, lots of different Bibles here. -
Hi preachinjesus
You asked........
“stilllearning, are you planning on answering any of the thoughts that have been mentioned in this thread? just curious.”Click to expand...
My name is, “stilllearning”, and as I have been coming up from page one, answering responses, I am seeing more and more, of my own.
(Take a Look.)
Oh by the way, I have responded to every one of yours.
(Please let me know if I missed one.)
Thank you -
Hi again sag38
You asked........
“Why do some KJV only folks insist on suggesting that unless one chooses one particular version of the Bible that he or she is failing to stand on the word of God?”Click to expand...
No seriously. If you read the post, and all of my responses, you will clearly see, that I am never even suggesting “any one particular version of the Bible”. Feel free to take a stand on any version you care to. -Just take a stand!-
--------------------------------------------------
Also you said........
“Insults and other attacks are the very reason that I am no longer KJV only.”Click to expand...
But thanks for the encouragement anyway. -
I think it's hard to turn the pages when you are standing on your Bible.:wavey:

Hi annsni
Sorry to hear about your bad weather.
You quoted me saying.......
“But almost all of the responses that I am getting, are people telling me that “no Bible is correct”. If you can’t pick “one” Bible to be correct, than you are saying that “none of them are correct”.Click to expand...
“No one said that - please copy and paste a quote from one of us please?”Click to expand...
But as you can see in my quote, the reason that I am coming to that conclusion, is because of a process of elimination.
--------------------------------------------------
Also you quoted me........
“As for the subject of “relativism”: This is exactly what I am fighting against.
i.e. “If most people think that no Bible is correct, than where is the Word of God, to spell out to us, what is right and wrong.”Click to expand...
“Well, since none of us feel that no Bible is correct, your reasoning is wrong.”Click to expand...
--------------------------------------------------
Hope you made it through the storm okey.
