None of these are true in the KJV. If one allows it to interpret itself, all questions are answered.
Nope

already proved this logic is flawed

continue to believe as you wish.

If God doesn't elevate the originals, should we?
god did not elevate an English text created in the 1600’s either

so why do you?

once again your circular logic comes back to bite you

That seems to me is the real cult.
Really? How so?
how are people who say we should take all sources God has given us to properly be able to understand what he said a cult and people who worship an old debunk English text as perfect not?

Or better yet,

no other cult is worshiping an interpretation created in a flawed language,
You do know the whole "cult" thing is silly. Think about it, I actually believe I have the preserved word of God in the KJV. You call that a cult?

Circular logic = always comes back to the KJV as the preserved words of God in the English language. I'm ok with that.

That's my point. No other version is trusted by their readers as the word of God.
Sometimes, you write the silliest things. For some reason that I can't fathom, you seem to enjoy displaying your ignorance, closed-mindedness, and resistance to truth.

You expect me to believe God can not or will not translate his word into other languages because YOU say so.... I don't think so.
Just when I think you might be starting to see the light, you willfully shut your eyes.

Your comment is so far from what E-G wrote that it borders on slander.

This idea has been addressed many times, but you keep dredging it up.

Just because God is capable of translating His word into another language does not in any way support the idea that He has done so with an entire version of the Bible.

Let it go.

Let me figure this out. Original language mainly used in the New Testament is Greek and that Original language is now not being used today for common people. Common people knows nothing about it. Literally, it's UNKNOWN to them. Kneeling your knees on the language we don't know and bending yourselves to it is like going to some worship like the Athenians with their devotions "TO THE UNKNOWN GOD" Acts 17:23. :geek:

So instead

we point them to an English Bible, which by its very essence is flawed, and worse yet we take them to an outdated English language which has not been used for years. (Except for cultists who demand its perfect)

seems to me your very argument can be used against you

once again, no one is saying use those languages by the,selves, we say use all tools.
it’s amazing god has given us so much, and people get angry and attack those who understand a flawed bible is flawed, and want to use every source available to make sure they understand fully what was written

And yet KJ English is alive and kicking well unlike the original language. Yes they have been so used by God in their time, era yet they are not being used as of today for the common people. Of course, I am trying to comment on those original language fanatics and perhaps you are not one.:)

So with this, we can then compare KJV English with New Versions one. Am I correct with my understanding? Thanks

Oh it is, in what world?

oh that’s right,in the KJV only cults world

for,the rest of the world, it’s outdated

qnd even if it was not, the language used to write it is flawed.
so in either case, you have a not perfect interpretation of the origional text.

ie, you just like the rest of the world

welcome to reality

Well we could, but they use the same flawed language so it may not help you get the full meaning of a particular passage.

Umm, now you are going to original text when those text has since long gone. Are you trying to let me in the Original text cult? It might outdated according to the rest of the world, according to your opinion but it's neve been held wrong in its text. The seemeth wrong can be studied and understood, unlike newer ones mixed and adulterated. The word change one to another water downs interpretation.
