Thank for the laugh!
Everything that you wrote here is absurd. Clearly you have no interest in the truth! (That is so sad! Jesus said the same thing about the Pharisees, who were so stuck in their own "truth" that they couldn't see Christ as divine.
Oh, so you believe Jesus is God?
Do you believe Jesus is the second person of the Godhead or Trinity?
Do you believe we can worship Jesus who is God?

a) I don't need to prove anything. I have stated facts. If you can't accept them, that is your problem, not mine., Your posts (plural) are clearly biased; they are nothing more than propaganda!
Look in the mirror. You are also pushing you are own propaganda machine.
You said:
b) You are clearly writing your posts mindlessly because you don’t like the idea that other Bibles besides the King James translation -- a political document -- are the word of God. You claim to be an authority but anyone with a small amount of insight can see right through your false statements.
Not at all. I base my arguments on solid reasons. Biblical, textual, historical, etcetera. You are the one who is mindlessly arguing here. How about I challenge you.
I would like for you to ask GOD and what His opinion is on this topic.
I am not asking you to talk to GOD to confirm what you want to be true and then you move on.
No, no. I want you to be open to the possibility that maybe you could be wrong and GOD knows better.
If there is even a 1% chance you may be wrong, wouldn't it worth it to talk to GOD about this?

I don't know what you have against modern Bibles!
Uh, you gave an award rep to Resident Alien's post about how Westcott and Hort employed stealth (deception) involving their Revised Version and you wonder why I have a problem? Your moral compass is broken if you cannot connect the dots.
You said:
They are the result of hard work by qualified men and women to give us the best possible translations in our own native language. Thou thinkest because the version thou likest is written in olde Englyshe it is somehow more true to the source documents. That is utter nonsense. You have been deluded! Some time in the past you must have seized on the idea that the KJV is perfect, and have then manufactured all kinds of reasoning to justify your premise. But there is not one iota of proof in what you write!
Obviously it takes faith to believe the Bible. The Bible itself teaches that His words are pure and they would be preserved forever. You have to believe that by faith. Just as we believe the resurrection by faith. I cannot demonstrate how the resurrection is factually true whereby it would not require faith for a person. You have to believe the Bible first. This is what this discussion is really about. Faith in what God's Word says. You prefer instead the translation theories or guesses that come out of German Rationalism.

A clear example of your biased nonsense is this statement: "The NIV website says you cannot quote more than 500 verses in any form (including audio, which is speaking). First, this just sounds greedy and controlling." Greedy and controlling? Seriously? Obviously you don't realize that the King James Bibles that you buy today are copyrighted! The KJV publishers are just as "greedy" as the NIV publisher. My King James translation, the Thompson Chain Bible, has this notice: "Copyright 1964 by B.B. Kirkbride Bible Co, Inc." Also, "Previous Editions Copyright 1908, 1917, 1929, 1934, 1957 by Frank Charles Thompson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD" How greedy can you get??? I've got news for you: every Bible publisher is in it for profit! They all sell their translations with the idea of making as much money as possible! In the case of the above, they don't even permit 500 verses!
Uh, they cannot claim copyright on the King James Bible. They are laying claim to the content that is added that is not the actual KJV translation itself. You would have to be highly uneducated or illogical to think that any average joe can come along and lay claim to copyrighting the KJV.
