Featured The Holy King James Bible is our authority and guiding principle.

We all have our preference, but that's not what this thread is stating. The thread is stating that only the KJV can be held up as the inspired word of God.
I find that thinking very silly.

 

Yes, as OP states to us any other Bible not really one to use!

 

That is fine, you are changing from what first posting was!

the KJVO myth has absolutely NO Scriptural support, & besides that, many of its man-made points are wrong, such as "The KJV is perfect". We've discussed several of its goofs & booboos on this site.

And remember the thread I started about the KJV's being a "Model T" version? Well, that fact is still true. The KJV was made for the British Anglicans of the 17th C, and God has caused newer translations to be made for today's English-users. (As well as translations in other languages for other peoples.)

A story I've told before: I had a neighbor who was a doctor from South Korea, & he was no master of the English language, and was also a new Christian. He asked me if he could borrow a Bible til his Korean-language copy arrived . Without thinking, I handed him a KJV.

A coupla days later, he called me & said he was greatly distressed by the passage "suffer little children". I explained what it meant, & quickly brought him a copy of the NKJV, which does not have the KJV's archaisms.

If one feels more-comfortable with the KJV than with any other version fine, long as one doesn't believe or spread the pack of lies of the KJVO myth.

 

And that female author about Satanic editions!

 

No problem with Kjv or the Open Bible, just a problem if you were the Pastor and made sure Only Kjv were allowed to be brought in!

 

Do I still need to carry a rooster with me while I travel to protect myself from cockatrices?

If I happen to capture and kill one, what is the best way to cook a cockatrice?

I want to ride a unicorn. Where can a find one?

 

One other thing - Which KJV is the right one?

 

If you've got a KJV, its the right one!... If it doesn't say The King James Version, it's the wrong one... It's simple Simon, don't complicate it!... Brother Glen

 

Actually most of the editions of the KJV printed before 1881 did not say King James Version on them so are you in effect condemning almost 300 years of KJV editions as being wrong ones? It was sometimes referred to as King James' translation, but it was not printed on most of the title pages or covers for a long period of time. Are your assumptions based on post-1900 editions of the KJV as you ignore almost 300 years of editions?

KJV-only advocates often seem to oversimplify and overgeneralize to the point that their claims become factually incorrect.

They will ignore and avoid simple verifiable facts about the many varying editions of the KJV. They avoid the fact that the varying editions of the KJV in the 1600's differ in many places from the varying editions of the KJV in the 1700's. Even all the editions in the 1600's were not identical and likely differences with each other could be found in most of them. They will avoid the fact of actual proven errors in KJV editions including errors in the 1611 edition and in the 1769 Oxford edition.

Well over 100 actual differences could be pointed out in thirty or more present post-1900 KJV editions without even including their 2,000 differences with 1611 reprint editions.

Can KJV-only advocates present some simple verifiable facts and clear scriptural truths to support their unproven KJV-only assumptions?

 

Hmm, my KJV I’m holding says

Exodus 20:14
Thou shalt commit adultery.

You have a lot of practice with this, so how do you commit adultery?

Where should I start?

 

Could they not have done the same with an ESV, NASB, NIV, NLT , or some other version?
My church provides each 3rd grade child with a personal Bible. They are encouraged to use this Bible as they attend various ministry programs throughout the week. All my children still have their Bibles on even though they are older. It is a great connection to the community of faith.
