Using Proper Language

Precepts:"It was still somewhat scattered amongst the MSS and the Geneva, Tyndale, Wycliffe Bibles in 1610. !!"

So God allowed His preserved word to be scattered or mixed with what was NOT His word?

Where is God's directive to the AV writers to collect His scattered word?

 

Ditto.

Where is it according to you or w/h for that matter?

I believe they (the KJB translators and King James) were directed by the Lord, you don't, it's that simple. I trust the Received Texts over the Egyptian rejects of Alexandria that you embrace.

If you wanna believe the myth about the Anglican translators, be my guest, but King James himself? the king's immorality aside, he hated Baptists, married his children off to Catholics, had dissenters (Baptist, Puritans)put to death, etc. I'm not knocking the translators, per se, but this king was a piece of work. Yes, God can use a king like James, but your posts implies he might have been godly. yikes. KJV(kjb) is a VERSION. KJVO(kjbo) is a sect of inconsistencies and double standards gallore.

 

No, I REALLY believe that God directed the various translators or groups of translators equally. There's not one peep of evidence that He singled out the AV men for special attention.

BY WHOSE AUTHORITY do you say the AV men alone were directed by the Lord?

Of course, the very same reasons were given for the translation now called the Latin Vulgate which reigned supreme over the Church for 1000+ years. In fact some of the first English translations were re-translations of the Vulgate, whose influence is yet seen in the KJV.

Another site worthless to my goal.
How do you figure out which edition of
the KJV you are reading? I have four or
five KJVs that do not tell who they are.
So how can i tell when
they misrepresent themselves?
Sunday my pastor cited a verse from the
KJV noting it was from the 39th edition

 

Oh, I see, Hank. The KJVOs derive their authority from a Scottish king of England who's been dead for nearly 380 years.

Chick is a "double-edhed sword". Doubtless, many have been steered to Christ by his tracts & comix, but also many have been steered into error because of his KJVO fiction.

 

Robycop didn't you see my tongue in my cheek?

Proof, please???????????????????????????
Please prove to us that God directed ONLY the AV translators, and, possibly, KJ, to the exclusion of any other English Bible translators and any other British monarch.

Actually, what I DON'T believe is the man-made garbage about God's word that has been spread for most of the 20th century.

Actually, what you trust is a myth about God's word invented by a 7th Day Adventist.

Yeah, but sometimes I gotta drop my bombs rather than try to land the plane still carrying them!

 

Seems to me that it was scattered (i.e. parts in many different places)and then it was collected. What do you think?

BY WHOSE AUTHORITY do you say the AV men alone were directed by the Lord? </font>[/QUOTE]Robcopy, you seem to be hung up on this authority thing. Where do you find Scriptural authority commanding Peter or Paul to collect their letters (i.e. epistles)? You really ought to read an introductory book on how we got our Bible. Furthermore, where is your authority?

In philosophical debate, one often encounters a smart alec who keeps asking "How do you know that?" He never offers anything but keeps you working in answering his inanity. The way to answer such a guy is to ask: "Why should I take your question seriously since you have nothing to offer?" So, I ask you: "Why should anyone take your question seriously?" Where is your authority?
