In the King James Version of the Bible, 1 John 3:9 states,
"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him:
and he cannot sin, because he is born of God"
Name on translation that does not teach false doctrines?
May I ask?
What sound doctrines are you capable of learning and growing in grace by?
You're obsessed and have blinders on by virtue of your obsession.
You are stuck in details, and never able to see the big picture.
For have, you learned more truth today that you did not know the day before?
"Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 3:18
Williams translation states we need to be continuing to grow in grace and knowledge.
Wuest's translation states we should be constantly growing in grace and knowledge.
You? You are stuck in your obsession.
An obsession that is robbing you of God's wonderful potential for you in Christ!
As are you.
What is truth? (John 18:38).
Jesus says to the Father, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." (John 17:17).
Daniel 10:21 mentions the Scripture of truth. Most Original Onlyist Christians today do not believe that there is no “Scripture of truth” today. They believe the Scriptures are filled with truth and untruths (errors).
Obviously you do not understand 1 John 2:27 I quoted to you before.
They did have manuscripts in scroll form of various Scriptures.
While it is a fictional Christian film, did you ever see Polycarp?
The film in part shows Polycarp being a copyist of Scripture.
While this is not actually documented in history that Polycarp had done this, others had during his time.

- Tatian (circa 120–180 AD) – Tatian, a disciple of Justin Martyr, created the Diatessaron, a harmony of the four Gospels. This compilation reflects Tatian’s dedication to making the teachings of Jesus widely accessible. Though not a strict copy of each Gospel, it shows an early effort to preserve and consolidate Scripture for a unified understanding, especially in Syrian Christian communities.
- Clement of Alexandria (circa 150–215 AD) – Known for his wide-ranging writings, Clement often referenced both the Old and New Testaments. As an early Christian teacher in Alexandria, he trained future generations of Christians in Scriptural knowledge, emphasizing the need to accurately transmit these texts. This devotion to Scriptural education indirectly supported the preservation and copying of Scripture by his students and later theologians.
- The Muratorian Fragment – Dated to around 170 AD, this document (found in Rome) provides a partial list of New Testament books accepted by the early church. Its existence shows that by Polycarp’s time, early Christians were actively collecting, copying, and organizing Scriptures, particularly in major centers like Rome, to ensure the apostolic teachings were preserved.

Not at all. Counting from Tyndale's Translation (1526) to the 1611, we have 85 years.
Counting when the KJV became popular in the mid 1660s, this would be about 139 years.
So we had the KJV for 413 years. The Modern Bible Movement (1881) origins has been about 143 years. However, for decades most were deceived into thinking the Revised Version was just a KJV update (Which was a lie). The Bible debate began to intensify with the publication of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) in 1952. By the 1970s and 1980s, with the emergence of other popular translations like the New International Version (NIV) in 1978 and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) in 1971, the debate significantly heated up. So your movement did not really take any significant traction or major discussion until the 1970s. Before this time, it was mostly liberal churches that favored Modern Bibles. So again, your the new kids on the block. The KJV has a 400 year track record.

With the following CAUTION: Jesus sent us the HOLY SPIRIT, one of who's functions is to LEAD US INTO TRUTH.
"Theology" is what a person learns in a "University".
"Theology" doesn't necessarily have any connection to "TRUTH"!!!!I It's likely a MIXTURE of truth and error.
So READING the BIBLE is the proper activity for a Christian to involve themselves in, since the Holy Spirit indwells EVERY CHRISTIAN. His presence IN US is what makes us "Christians" to begin with. And the Holy Spirit will lead us into TRUTH.
The Biblical PROMISE is that "if we lack wisdom - ASK FOR IT", and as long as we ask singlemindedly (Really wanting to know), the Holy Spirit will supply what we need liberally (James 1:8) . So on the surface there IS a "Secret" since people WHO ARE NOT CHRISTIANS can't see God's Kingdom, but they can generate all sorts of religious foolishness, based on their religious (denominational) paradigms.

While you're out there looking to prove a murder.
I am here looking to prove life.
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction,
and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few
find it. '
Matthew 7:13-14
This so very democratic Left of you. Instead of reading my point in context, you decided to gaslight me. Any time you want to apologize, please feel free.
Right, the KJV is the narrow path. Most Christians in English-speaking countries today believe in shape shifter Bibles that are full of errors and it is up to them or the "guru" scholar to give the meaning (Just like the Catholic Church used to do with their priests involving the Latin). But the Bible will of course change in a few years again with new and exiting manuscripts in a cave somewhere. Modern Bibles have tons of omitted verses, and teach false doctrines. Heretics are attached to such a movement, as well. Why on Earth you are defending this movement is beyond me.
