    I believe it has. KJVOs waged a tireless war against God's word for years. They enlisted the help of deranged lunatics (Riplinger), adulterous preachers (Hyles), rascist teachers (Ruckman), and of course the pope loving, baby sprinklin, covenant theology minded anglicans. Satan's artillery came in hard, fast, and often.

    However, with patience, persistence, and a love for the truth, KJVOs have retreated and been so soundly defeated that they only exist in pockets. Only a few "colleges" teach the idea.

    Of course, it is about a generation away before it is done away with completely. This current generation of KJVOs will fade eventually and my generation's distrust of everyone will be the ruin of the KJVO crowd. My generation wants the facts. This is what the previous generation should have wanted. They instead opted for sensationalism and heroworship.

    In my estimation, the war is over. It is now a matter of rounding up the resistence and giving them a good dose of the gospel and then discipleship.

    Popes aren't concerned with KJVO. Get a clue and stop spamming threads.

    Danny D,

    Hate to be the one to break it to ya, but the kJVO monster is alive and well and breeding right along here in the South (to which A-A could atest). Seems the KJVO's have decided to do what the Mormons did and just breed new converts. And those raised in the hate and ignorance of KJVOism are really, really nasty about it.

    The war won? Not by a long shot...

    In Christ,
    Trotter

    I wish you were right David. But I don't believe it's dead. I just went to church this morning w/my parents and their Pastor is KJVO and trust me its not over. But I will say we are winning it and will never suffer a setback again. It is over but it will probably always exist because people are so entrenched in it. I have a 16 year old friend that is entrenched in it firmly I'll never convince him its not so. BUT WE ARE WINNING. [​IMG]

    Dear Daniel David, et. al.,

    You are of corse correct historically! Laodicia is upon us. Philadelphia is past. May God have mercy on us all.

    The Popes did and still do not want the word of God--from Syrian/Byzantine MSS(and their Bibles)--in the hand of the common man;but rather,they ALL want people to have the Alexandrian forgeries.

    I'd say,job well done.

    </font>[/QUOTE]What the Popes did want is for their favorite version, Latin Vg to be declared superior to the Originals. Sound familar? KJVO is akin to Roman Catholism of the Dark Ages. What the KJV translators wanted was their version to be ammended as needed. C.H. Spurgeon said so, John R. Rice, J. Frank Norris, etc. Paul said it too (in principle): 1 Cor 14:9

    I'm going to have to diasgree with Lacy that this is a "Laodicean" age. Interpreting Revelation as a sequence of history is even more unlikely than some of the hyperdispensationalist stuff!!

    Charles, it is another aspect of the ruckman sect.

    Lacy </font>[/QUOTE]The rejection of the KJVO tradition has zero, zilch, nada to do with the "Laodicean Period"; however, belief in a translation translated by theologically errant biased scholars (Anglicans), superceding the Originals is a class all by itself.

    It always amuses me that the people who buy into this hyper-dispensationalist "church age" guff can never agree on when one age ends and the next begins, but somehow they are always and forever agreed that we're currently in the "Laodicean" age.

    And with the KJV-onlyists, of course, the proof of this is that people don't buy into their nonsense about the KJV being any more infallible than the NIV. Truly times of apostasy are upon us. [/sarcasm]

    Why is it that when Westcott & Hort are mentioned, you declare that theology plays no part in the translating procedures, but regarding the KJV translation team, their theology does matter?

    With all due respect, Lacy, the "Church Age" myth is in itself a FALSE DOCTRINE. Please take a few minutes to see who started that nonsense. It was William Marrion Branham, as great a charlatan as any other who has stood at a lectern and spouted forth a stream of apostasy.

    If this is a war, WE anti-Onlyismists have the best weapon-TRUTH. Having THIS weapon, we cannot be beaten.

    Roby and Ransom,


    If I had been speaking figuratively (Which I'll admit unashamedly, I wasn't), my point would still be the same. The major revivals of holiness (and renewed interest in doctrine) which occurred 150-250 years ago are unprecedented. The only thing even close is the early church. Where have the great revivals gotten off to? Call it coincidence if it helps you sleep.


    Keep rattling your MV sabers, if you must. The Word predicts apostasy, perilous times, and lack of faith in the end. (I'm not saying that you exhibit any of those qualities. I believe you both to be mightily saved and Spirit-filled men. But it is the condition or our world and the church in general.) If the truth moves more and more to the minority and we "lose the war", it goes right along with prophesy. We can call it (figuratively if not literally),"Laodicea".

    Lacy
