KJV this, KJV that, KJV for President.
Is the KJV it a good translation? I think so. Is it the worlds only source/version that contains God breathed inspiration? I DON'T THINK SO!
Believers are positionality, in Christ. They have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside them. If we'll reverently open scripture with prayer and devotion. We can/will discern what the Spirit intends. King James Version or no King James version.
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” (KJV)
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (KJV)
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (KJV)
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (KJV)
Simple test, to put this discussion to rest:
Where in scripture does God say the KJV is perfect, or even is the best source of truth? Chapter & verse please.
If you can't provide the scripture. Then, all that's left is the usual: Because Nehemiah6 said so. Good luck with that.
Nehemiah6, If there is NO conflict between KJV and Tyndale, Coverdale, Matthew's, Geneva. Please explain the conflict found between KJV & the other 4 mentioned found in 2 Thessalonians 2:3.
KJV translates this verse wrong:
1611 King James Bible
2 Thessalonians 2:3 (B) for that day shall not come, """except there come a falling away first""" and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
All 4 pre 1611 Bible translations state departure. No falling away/apostasy mentioned
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Thessalonians 2:3 (B) for that day shall not come, """except there come a departing first""", and that man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition.
1526 Tyndale Bible
2 Thessalonians 2:3 (B) ""the lorde commeth not excepte ther come a departynge fyrst"" and that that synfnll man be opened ye sonne of perdicion
1537 Matthews Bible
2 Thessalonians 2:3 (B) ""the Lord cometh not/except ther come a departure"" that the sinfull man opened/the son of perdition
Miles Coverdale Bible (1535)
2 Thes 2:3 Let noman disceaue you by eny meanes. For the LORD commeth not, ""except the departynge come 1st"" and that that Man of synne be opened, euen the sonne of perdicion,
1540 The Great Bible
2 Thessalonians 2:3 (B) ""the lord comes not except a departure first"", and the sinfull man be showed, son of perdition,
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: """only he which now withholdeth""", shall let till he be taken out of the way.
(NOTE: It's the Holy Spirit Who lives/dwells within each believer that is withholding/restraining the son of perdition/man of sins arrival.
When Christ's Holy Spirit filled Body of Christ/Church departs/is caught-up/raptured. Then no restraints for sin remain. The man of sin will have ZERO to restrain him.
The NT Body of Christ/Church DEPARTS = is caught-up/raptured & delivered for the coming wrath. The man of sin is then revealed, and the coming wrath for a rebellious, Christ rejecting, unbelieving world will begin.
The apparent contradiction is easily resolved by examining the Greek word apostasia:
Strong's Concordance
apostasia: defection, revolt
Original Word: ἀποστασία, ας, ἡPart of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: apostasia
Phonetic Spelling: (ap-os-tas-ee'-ah)
Short Definition: defection, apostasy
Definition: defection, apostasy, revolt.
HELPS Word-studies
646 apostasía (from 868 /aphístēmi, "leave, depart," which is derived from 575 /apó, "away from" and 2476/histémi, "stand") – properly, departure (implying desertion); apostasy – literally, "a leaving, from a previous standing."
So the KJV is more accurate with "falling away" since "departure" leaves some ambiguity.
Then you were wrong here:.

BOTH "departure" and "falling away" are valid. You could call it "departure from the truth" or "falling away from the truth" and I already showed you the meanings of apostasia. So the one who is wrong is you for not bothering to read and study the meanings of apostasia.
1st none say, departure from the truth. You made that up GEEZZZ!
2ndly: So, all 4 scholors are wrong & you're right. Got it LOL!
Still waiting on the scripture for this question:
Where in scripture does God say the KJV is perfect, or even is the best source of truth? Chapter & verse please.
If you can't provide the scripture. Then, all that's left is the usual: Because Nehemiah6 said so. Good luck with that.
The post began, KJV got 2 Thes 2:3 wrong
There are over 20 Greek words that translate to depart.
The 4 Bible's I posted fron used ἀποχωρέω, apochoreo
"to depart from" is also translated in Matthew 7:23 ; Luke 9:39 ; Acts 13:13 as well
Its you who that's wrong again. For worshiping a Bible version. And for not bothering to read & study.
Quite obviously you have no clue about the apostasy. It is a departure from the truth, which is the same as a falling away from the truth.
Dumb questions need not be dignified with an answer.
The 20 Greek words have no bearing on this matter. The only Greek word you should try and comprehend (which you still have not done) is APOSTASIA.
This is about as absurd and childish as you can get. I believe you are the one who needs to study diligently and stop making foolish remarks.
The foolishness is found in your abject scriptural ignorance. Because you say so, WHAT A JOKE!
So, NO scripture to back up you position. GOT it! Because you say so again. Got It! WAHT A JOKE YOU ARE!
"falling away" is the correct translation. This is an apostasy and not the rapture. Study all forms of the word "fall" in the King James Bible and you find that this is not a positive thing. As believers in Jesus Christ we are admonished to "stand"! (Ephesians 6:13)
The sower parable predicts many will fall away. People have been falling away since the Acts 2 Holy Spirit outpouring. People will continue to fall away until the Church DEPARTS!
I have given 4 respected pre 1611 translators, that translate DEPARTURE, not falling away. You & Nehemiah6 are entitled to believe & in his case worship the KJV. I've given supporting scripture for my position.
James, I respectfully disagree with your reply. And with disdain, I disagree will Nehemiah6.
Well I respectfully disagree with you as well.
The "rapture" you speak of is the "gathering" of verse 1 and not some departure in verse 3. The "departure" of verse 3 is an apostasy which is logically connected (and function) to the revealing of the "man of sin."
The rapture is in 1 Thes 4. We are discussing 2 Thes 2. The day of Christ is when he returns. The rapture/DEPATRURE of the Church &, then the revealing of the man of sin must take place before the 1000 yr reign/Day of Christ can begin.
"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him," (2 Thessaloninas 2:1)
Two events are being addressed by Paul. A "coming" and a "gathering" Is not the "our" in verse 1 a reference to the people of the church in Thessalonia? In other words whoever is reading the epistle?
Am I mistaken because I thought you were an advocate that the phrase "falling away" is a reference to the rapture?
