The Cambridge Declaration

Even if it is a translation of the KJV it is not the KJV. Languages aren't word for word translatable especially when dealing with outdated, if beautiful, language. It is a racist belief.

Sure it does, to him that worketh not. Anything other than faith is works.

God did not promise to preserve His word in every language. There was a period of time when for about 2000 years only one small nation had the true and pure words of God. Does this mean God is a racist? God forbid.

Psalms 147:19-20 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

Anything other than faith is works? Really?

So grace is works. So Jesus is works. So love is works. the cross is works, the blood is works, the resurrection is works, repentance is works . . . and so on . . . .? Really?

Grace is a gift given to thos who believe. The cross was the work of Christ. He did all the work so grace could be given.

Clearly I missed the bit about "a blessing unto all nations but only if the speak an old fashioned form of English which is worshipped as an idol in some obscure parts of a foreign land".

Well the Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew languages of the 1st century were much more sophisticated than late 16th century English. Better coppies of the original texts James translation is a literary masterpiece but is nearly as outdated as Shakespeare which they don't teach in most American public schools any more. I trust the Berean Study Bible, the New International fourth edition translations and translators far more than a 1611 English translation of anything. Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter, James and Jude; Didn't speak or write in the King of England's, English anyway. And I doubt that the translators had as much non-catholicized education either.

The KJV has been translated into hundreds of languages.

Yes, but that was when it may have been the best. It's still better than many like the paraphrased "Good News" or the "Living Bibles."

And esv, NASB, net, niv, nlt, etc.

No other version can compare to the fruit it has produced, not even close.

Ridiculous. The Bible has been translated into hundreds of languages. The KJV is and only ever will be English.

Fruit is not a consideration.

Not true. The KJV has literally been the source and starting point for hundreds of translations.

Of course not, because there’s no comparison.

Yawn. Find a meaningful argument.

Um, no. The Greek and Hebrew are the starting point... always.

If God highly valued the originals, He would of made sure they were preserved. The Greek and Hebrew manuscripts now available are just copies of copies of copies...

Can a copy be better than the original? Absolutely!

If it changed from English into something else it's a paraphrased edition. A true translation would need to be from the original languages Before the RCC or emperor Constantine had any influence. Even the Book of Romans was written in Greek, not Latin!

Don't forget 13 Centuries of false dogma! A King James Bible is many but considering the archaic language and incorrect punctuation it's probably a little better than average. That's my best defense of the KJV 1611.

No thanks to the RCC.
