"There is safety in believing the words of the KJV Bible." A powerful quote by our Board member, JD731.

[Alan Dale Gross]

There is safety in believing the words of the KJV Bible.

This, beyond anything else said by you, or anyone else on the Board, or BY ANYONE anywhere in the whole World, is an extremely POWERFUL statement.

And the God Who Superintended over His Words being Preserved there has received this HIGH LEVEL OF BELIEF AS WORSHIP, you can be sure. He is very Pleased when His People believe His Word and this is God's Word. We all better believe that. It is one of the greatest blessings in this life, to know that we can be sure WE HAVE GOD'S WORD IN OUR HANDS AND WHAT WE HOLD IN OUR HAND IS GOD'S WORD.

And since God's Word tell us about WHO HE IS,
GOD HAS MAGNIFIED HIS WORD ABOVE ALL HIS NAME.

"I will worship toward thy Holy Temple, and praise Thy Name for thy Lovingkindness and for Thy Truth: for Thou hast Magnified Thy Word above All Thy Name." Psalm 138:2.

Not only is there safety in believing the words of the King James Bible, it is the perfect place, comparatively speaking, along with the other Providentially Preserved family of reliable Bible Manuscripts, to reference every verse from other publications whose authors and proponents all profess dogmatically that they don't believe we have God's Word in a Volume or a Book, but that it might be contained in the various collections of original language manuscripts, somewhere and so they are going to try to keep looking for it for us......

But, God didn't have a plan whereby His Word would one day need to be reconstructed by the thumb twiddling, navel-gazing fickle of self-absorbed, sin-cursed man's carnality, who had the bright idea to treat its 'translation' like that of any other book, while in the process ignoring its Author.

You have a Message for them, today!!!

Fact alert: the KJV is an English Bible, and there are billions of people in the world who do not speak English. Therefore, "in the whole World" is not factual.

In fact, there are billions of people in the world who do not have access to any Bible translated from the texts of the KJV: Masoretic OT and TR NT. Mark Twain has been quoted as saying, "Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it." I would change that to "Everyone talks about the KJV, but no one does anything about it.

Not only is there safety in believing the words of the King James Bible,

May I rephrase! Not only is there safety in believing the words of the(snip) Bible,

 

[Tea]

Indeed, there's safety in believing in the words of the KJV. That's also true of the NKJV, NASB, ESV, CSB, NIV, and so on.

I can't say the same of some of the others, such as The Message or Passion Translation.

 

[Ascetic X]

I prefer the King James Version.

But I think it is beneficial to also read other versions, because they can give us a fresh nuance or angle on verses we might be overly familiar with. Even the Message, Amplified Bible, NIV, Cotton Patch, Jewish Study Bible, and First Nations versions can be useful in this way.

I like Bible Hub online. I presents a variety of translations for a specific verse, plus original language text, similar verses, and commentaries.

[Logos1560]

Is there safety in believing the words of any and every edition of the KJV?

Is there actual safety in believing any errors in KJV editions to be true and not errors?

I may become the laughing stock of BB after this, but I've often wondered something.

The KJV has been translated in several hundreds of languages and distributed around the world.

Christ said, the Gospel will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come.

If by chance the KJV is what many claim, God's official word for the world, is it possible the distribution of the KJV to the world is the measure of the end?

Not saying it is, just have wondered on it many times.

 

[Van]

The very idea that the KJV, or one of them, is "the official word for the world" is a fiction conjured by provincialism.

There is safety in setting our course and sticking to it. We are to study to show ourselves approved, accurately handling God's word to the best of our understanding.

I won't argue, just something that keeps coming to mind over and over.
