    The point is that it is not the same as actually studying Greek and knowing and understanding Greek. Some people, not saying you, assume that the Strongs is all they need and they can fully understand the Greek.

    So you honestly believe Strongs and a KJV are enough, you don't need lexicons, grammar, etc?

    Strong's Dictionaries are not grammars. His concordance only shows the base word behind the translation. For example the KJV uses the translation of three different words in the Greek as "hell." It is important to know which word is mentioned in the Greek being translated as,"hell."

    I never made any such claim. And you never gave a single example of what you claimed.

    The improper use of a Bible study tool is not the tool.

    This is true, however, Strong's is past its prime. There are much better free tools to use. Nobody should still be using Strongs for serious study.

    You do not like that tool for tools you think are now better.

    Unless you are Jesus Christ all sermons should be Scripture reading and no human commentary at all, no? I mean once you leave Scripture you have entered interpretation, and that is either error or not.

    If one is concerned about error, stop preaching once interpretation starts. If one is not concerned about error and has faith, that God will lead one in the truth necessary, it does not matter if humans condemn you for heresy. It is God you answer to, not man.

    There is nothing wrong with attempting to explain in more detail Scripture. That is not adding to God's Word. The problem comes when a person claims Scripture is wrong, and attempts to give a more human understanding than what God has given. If one is going to constantly correct God's Word, may as well use any book to preach from.

    That is not what I said. I said it is obsolete.

    I use this 'tool' quite often:

    KJV with Strong's Concordance (godrules.net)

    Very handy.

    So, you never noticed alternative meanings per a Strongs Greek word?

    Strongs says the exact words as the KJV?

    Being KJV-only is not the same thing as "sola scriptura."

    Being KJV-only would be evidence of adding human opinions and traditions of men to the Scriptures. The KJV itself does not state nor teach KJV-onlyism. KJV-only advocates read their own personal KJV-only opinions into verses that do not state nor teach those opinions.

    Perhaps your human, subjective, non-scriptural reasoning concerning the KJV is a booby trap that has misled or deceived you to believe assertions that are not true.

    I know that KJVO and sola scriptura are not the same, but only the KJV qualifies as scriptura to me.

    The modern versions are sola commentaria.

    God used imperfect humans to translate His perfect word in 1611 into the English language.

    God can do that.

    God was a step ahead of the last days revival before Jesus returns, helping the reformation.

    And what makes the KJV the only perfect translation?

    God's divine plan in the early stages of the reformation, using ancient men with access to the ancient Greek meanings via an election process.

    The notes are very heretical in places in that Bible!

    You do know that the Kjv translations used lexicons and dictionaries of their time as consulting sources, correct?
