What translation has the exact words of God preserved for English speakers?

Maybe you are missing something, then, because we are not critical of the KJV. I have said repeatedly on this thread that I think the KJV is still one of the best of the English translations.

Where the problem is is when the KJV is made equal to the original inspired manuscripts.

What’s the problem with that?

If the original was the word of God, why is a translation of it not the word of God?

That’s a foolish conclusion to make in my estimation.

See post # 176 for my answer.

You do not have to agree - but that is where I clearly stand on the issue.

They had Jesus Christ Himself, standing in front of them. How much more "revealed" could He possibly be?

Ask them; I'm not a KJV critic. I am, however, a vocal critic of the stupid arguments presented by KJV-only proponents in the promotion of their ridiculous agenda.

I do not think that a translation adds new revelation; just that it converts it to another language keeping the original inspired words intact.

Thanks for pointing me to your last post.

What's foolish is your blatant equivocation of "inspired" with "word of God". Nobody (that I have encountered) argues that the KJV is not the "word of God". However, that is a far cry from the KJV being "inspired" in the same way that the originals were "inspired".

I’ll praise his word in stupidity.

Psalm 56:4
[4] In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

A translation of an inspired work brings those inspired words into a new language.

What’s the problem with that?

Lenna horn was trying use "original language" to change the meaning of the KJV to fit her doctrine.... complete and utter confusion is all the "original language" stuff brings.

But saying that the "exact words" are inspired as the original is adding new words to God's revelation. It does not just "keep the original inspired words intact", but it adds new words in a different language to inspiration. It "adds" to God's revealed Word.

Did you not say "some translations are more inspired than other"? What do you mean by this?

No, actually she was using the original language to deepen the already beautiful language of the KJV to give deeper insights to help her live a richer Christian life! My opinion . . .

Where did the KJV add to the word of God?

No problem with bringing inspired words of God into another language by translation. Just realize that they are just that: translated words of the original inspired words.

I guess we are not going to be united in this particular.

But God bless you!

Let us continue in our faith brother.

The KJV itself did not add to the Word of God because the KJV editors themselves who wrote the preface of the original 1611 KJV never claimed "inspiration" for the KJV - in fact - far from it. I read the original version of the preface yesterday from start to finish - and it is quite a document to wade through. The editors clearly never intended or foresaw anything like the current KJV only movement.

KJV only emphasis adds to the Word of God when it claims that there are inspired words given by God since inspiration was closed by God with the completement of the New Testament canon.

Wait my friend, let me figure this out for you, I just responding to your post

This is what you said. But the KJV does not changed the very meaning of 'Being filled with the Spirit as it indicates in the KJ. As stated, the word "be" in the phrase is actually meant to continue which I provided with an English Dictionary., hence, in translation of the Greek πληρόω plēróō, is "be filled" indicating "to continue or remain" not a "one time" you are implying of the KJV. You are forcing your own when the very meaning is clear. There's not even an issue of what you are pointing because the KJV along with other multiple English versions says the same thing on the phrase being discussed. I gave you the opportunity to look at biblehub, perhaps, you haven't done that and you think KJV alone is in error here. Another thing, I know the thread is all about but I am not the one who first talked about "speaking in tongue" it's you, yet I have to agree, the Bible version issue is not about salvation. if you're truly been born again then i say amen! But for the sake of discussion, I will list to you those bible versions that says the same thing on the phrase "be filled with the Spirit" so I will not be accused of circular reasoning and dishonest and hope this suffice.

No, we will probably not be united unless you give up the KJV being inspired. Because I cannot back down from my position that God's Word is complete and dare not be added to.

But God bless you to and I count you as a brother in the faith - you have a good spirit to your writing and I respect you for that!

But, Oh how I wish I could shake up your heart and mind a little to get to see you the truth! (My opinion - )

So in your opinion the completely inerrant perfect word of God does not exist today?

It appears you simply want to defend your belief the KJ Bible is inspired. It isn't.
