And so, yet another thread on this over-worn subject. Well, either this was predestined to happen, or it's the choice of men.

Even a single erroneously translated word makes the KJV NOT "perfect"... and there are many. You are free to reject "modern Bibles" based on the criteria you select as critical, and I am free to reject the KJV on the criteria I select as critical.

The fault lines and so on would be a legacy of the immediate causes of the flood. That doesn’t preclude God using the occasional “natural disaster “ to accomplish His purposes.

If you separate the people (by language only) but the literal land is unaffected, then it’s misleading to state that the land was divided. In contrast, geological or geographical separation of land will necessarily result in separation of peoples.

So the interpretation of the passage depends on the interpretation of the word? How does that help?

The (alleged) excellence of a translation has nothing to do with the shortcomings of other translations. This is a fallacy I see repeated often by KJV-only advocates. Are there bad translations out there? Undoubtedly. Does their existence make the KJV a better translation? Absolutely not.

"You can't prevent the birds from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building a nest in your hair." (source unknown) What matters is not the nature of the thoughts, but what you do with them. Similarly, God doesn't judge you as sinful simply because you see or hear of sinful...

None of which are relevant to my point.

Welcome to CC, Foghorn! Glad to have you aboard. Coffee's always on in the galley, and the head is the last door on the left.

Genesis 1:1. Revelation 22:21. :cool:

Wait... you mean the government has actually delivered on a promise?

And whence cometh these "certain reports"?

Actually, it was 1931. I'm asking you because you used the term as though you believe it is historical truth.

Did I say that the word "scripture" proves anything? No, but Scripture does prove those things. ;) Others have already posted the relevant verses.
