    I'm KJVO, and I believe and teach the gap in Genesis 1:2, but I do not believe that the universe is millions of years old.

    Of course the arguments in this post contradict the scriptures, but that's beside my point right now.
    I did not intend to expound on my understanding of inspiration. I was merely pointing out to @robycop3 that we differ from non-KJVOs on a deeper level than just what version we believe. That was all.

    Nor did I make that point. The point, as I went on to state, is that we KJVOs disagree with non-KJVOs on a deeper level than a particular translation, as I went on to state.
    Easy on the trigger-happy responses.

    Your choice to keep your understanding of inspiration unpresented or hidden does not suggest that it is correct and scriptural.

    If your understanding is true and scriptural, you should want to present it for the edification of others.

    Perhaps you over-generalize. All KJV-only advocates do not agree in their understanding or claims concerning inspiration and preservation. Some KJV-only advocates actually agree with my understanding on inspiration, and I quoted from some of their own assertions. There are KJV-only advocates who assert that the KJV is not inspired.

    Not sure I follow you here. Was there some veiled message I was supposed to understand?

    No, those two museums were just voted USA Today's two best religious museums in the USA. They are a think tank for Biblical Creation. Children 10 & under free. Food is very reasonable and homemade. Kentuckians are very nice people.

    Ah ok, thanks. I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Lord willing, when my children are a little older, my wife and I plan on taking them there.

    Oh, I have been watching Rebel Media the last year or so about the trials and tribulations of Canada. I went to London, Ontario, years ago to see the Shakespeare theatre. Creation Ministries International has a very good television show from Canada. Creation | Creation Ministries International

    Also, one of the nicest guys from CMI went to work for Answers In Genesis (Ken Ham and the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum) and is head of the Canadian office of AiG. His name is Calvin Smith, in case that you have heard of him. Calvin Smith

    Interesting that the 1611 team took some readings from Latin Vulgate, was that inspired and perfect also?

    Do you hold then to the translators of the 1611 were inspired to make their translation in same fashion the Spirit inspired the writers of the Originals

    What Kjvo does not hold to the 1611 being inspired by the Holy Spirit in same way Originals were?

    Don't you think that dispensationalism is just as bad as KJVO because dispensationalism teaches one to be afraid to tell the A-C to go to hell? After all, the A-C may just be Pope Francis.

    The analogy between Dispy and Kjvo would be accurate IF I held to Dispy tjeology, and also held that those holding to Covenant theology were holding to doctrines of demons, into false Christianity!

    The problem is that these minor issues in relation to salvation doctrines just don't qualify as cultic. An American opinion on eschatology or Deep Time or even a belief in Darwin or an seemingly illogical preferences for a non-Model A translation are relatively minor. Are you going to say that infant baptism is cultic? Are you going to say that no baptism as in Quaker denominations and The Salvation Army denomination are cultic? To call something cultic is a serious charge and cannot be based upon disagreement alone. After all, Spurgeon himself probably used the KJV and was a believer in Deep Time, yet no Biblical Creationist would even think to call Spurgeon a cultist on any point.

    Only the original manuscripts were God breathed. Translations are not inerrant

    Among other factors, the first mammals, small rat-size critters, ate their eggs, & it doesn't seem like T Rex was overly fertile anyway. Also, changing climate & lessening of food supply contributed.
