Well then if you have, why are you still in unbelief when it comes to the absolute authority, power and perfection of God’s holy word, the blessed King James Holy Bible?
Well Angela, then why don’t you take the time to learn the grammar and vocabulary of the King James Bible?
Could you name a few, Angela?
It exists Angela, because there are a remnant of Christians who actually do believe that God kept His faithful promise to preserve His pure words (Psalm 12:6-7).
That is why it exists.
Angela, if people want to continue to use the modern versions, they can go on right ahead and do that. After all, we all have a free will, right? I don’t look down on other Christians just because they use or read out of the modern versions. But I do have a responsibility to at least give them the truth that there is only one true Holy and Finished Bible for us today and that it is indeed, the King James Holy Bible.
What you and other Christians do with the information which I hath provided unto you, that is simply up to you all.
How are we a cult, Angela?
I am fairly sure Angela that you have been a Christian and saved much longer than I have. But that does not give you the right to reject the supreme authority of the King James Bible.
[QUOTE="Angela53510, post: 4235865, member: 76369"]read the Bible from cover to cover more times than you.
Which Bible have you read from cover to cover, Angela?
Angela, your education does not amount to much, ma’am, if your education has not led you to have full faith in God’s perfect word, the blessed King James Holy Bible.
And I say this with charity and care.
Angela, on this Bible Version Issue, you are missing the mark. Why can’t you receive the truth that God has finished a perfect Bible for us today?
No Angela, you are wrong again, Ma’am. I have understanding of which Bible has the right and pure line of manuscripts! Whereas, you and others fail to see the utter corruption that the Siniaticus and Vaticanus manuscripts are filled with. And sadly, the modern versions based upon these very corrupt manuscripts (Siniaticus and Vaticanus).[/QUOTE]
Sorry it is the Textus Receptus that is corrupt. It just sprang to life in the 9th or 10th centuries AD. There is no progression back to the earliest extant manuscripts. One day, very late in Christian history, someone copied it, and because it was in Byzantium, where Greek was still spoken, they just kept copying the mistakes, adding text to explain in the margin, which were incorporated into the text by the next generation of copyists, or scribes.
I'll just say, I have read from cover to cover almost every modern translation that exist. Except the KJV, which I don't understand. And no, I won't be taking courses in KJV English because I have no need or desire to speak or read it. I speak French fluently, I understand and read German. I have a good background in Spanish. If there was a language I was going to learn, it would be Russian and/or Ukrainian, which is part of my heritage, along with 3 other countries.
I've been fortunate in getting training to read Biblical Hebrew and Koine Greek. I can compare all the mistakes in any translation to the original languages. The OT of the KJV is pretty close to the Hebrew. I translated and compared Hebrew to the KJV for a few months in Hebrew class, and the syntax and grammar of Hebrew is close to English.
But Koine Greek has totally different word order, and it uses cases for nouns and aspect is more important than time in Greek (and German) than in English. The KJV makes a terrible mess of most of the NT, except for John, who wrote in Greek, but used Hebrew word order. It becomes a hash when the KJV tries to follow Greek word order. In places it makes no sense in English, and in other places, rather than starting with the nominative case, as we do in English, it might start when the accusative or dative case, which will actually change the meaning of the sentence.
Of course, the fact is that Erasmus, a Roman Catholic priest, translated the copy the KJV used. In some cases, he couldn't find a Greek manuscript for certain books, so he used the Latin Vulgate to back translate it into Greek. He only had access to 7 very late, corrupted manuscripts! To think there are over 6000 manuscripts now available.
I just finished rereading the Greek NT, and I always get so much out of it. I'm reading 3 OT chapters and 1 Psalm & 1 NT chapter in the NET plus reading the NT in German.
When I say KJV Onlyists are in a cult, and you don't get it, just reread your post to me. You utterly worship the KJ Bible as perfect. It is not! Nor should it be idolized.
I save my worship for God, although I love the Bible and it is an essential part of my life! I would be lost without it. I memorize parts a lot. But, there is no perfect translation. I could go on forever about your errors, but you are obsessed and blind so I won't waste my time. I sure feel sorry reading your attempts to hold up a translation as perfect. It's just sad that you have missed Jesus in a failed attempt to make your translation more important than the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Besides, there is not one doctrinal difference between the KJV and modern translations, except for the JW or other cult Bibles.
Don't bother answering me, I won't be reading it.
