You understand and assert incorrectly as you seem to suggest that the English words of the KJV are superior to the actual original-language words of Scripture given by inspiration of God to the prophets and apostles. You do not demonstrate that the Scriptures teach your non-scriptural KJV-only...

Modern KJV-only teaching is not an essential doctrine, and it is not even a Bible doctrine of God. KJV-only teaching is a preference and tradition of men not taught in Scripture.

Concerning one of these passages (Psalm 2:4), F. H. A. Scrivener noted: “Jehovah is read in at least 85 Hebrew manuscripts and five early [printed Hebrew] editions, so that the translators (who seldom err in this matter) probably intended to use capitals” (Authorized Edition, p. 223, footnote...

One possible explanation for these LORD/Lord variations may be suggested in Appendix 32 in The Companion Bible. This appendix claimed: “Out of extreme (but mistaken) reverence for the ineffable Name ‘Jehovah,’ the ancient custodians of the Sacred Text substituted in many places ‘Adonai’” (p...

What you do use as your greater authority for claiming that certain editions of the KJV have errors? When you seem to dismiss the greater authority of the preserved Scriptures in the original languages, what sound basis do you have for claiming that the names of God are not properly translated...

You fail to demonstrate that you are more informed and that your biased approach is superior. You are in effect trying to claim that KJV-only opinions and traditions of men are a doctrine of God when they are not. According to the Scriptures, it can be concluded that sound true faith would...

Are you complaining about the presenting of the truth? The truth is that all the makers of the KJV were members of the Church of England. The KJV was the third official authorized Church of England version or translation. Archbishop Richard Bancroft [archbishop in the Church of England] was...

I have nowhere claimed to be perfect. I have admitted to being imperfect and wrong about some things. Your posts give the impression that you assume that you are superior to other believers in your understanding and interpreting of Scripture. I do not recall that you admit being wrong when...

I did not claim that it was an error of God. The truth remains that many editions of the KJV have had errors introduced by imperfect men. Acknowledging and advocating the truth is not straining at a gnat. Would you suggest that the actual errors in the original 1611 edition of the KJV should...

You show that you jump to a wrong conclusion and that your opinion is wrong. That is not at all my attitude toward the eternal word of God. The 1611 KJV is not eternal, and all of it has not been kept 100% eternally the same in typical post-1900 KJV editions. Words in English do not keep the...

You did not say which verse or verses in the KJV lead you to your above assertion. Nevertheless, your own assertion indicates or reveals that by eisegesis you are reading your own human opinions into verses that do not actually teach what you may read into them or add to them. The text of...

Wanting the word of God in present-day standard English instead of 1500's English is not a desire for more and better revelation. Desiring that the word of God be more accurately translated is not a desire for more direct revelation from God. Many believers recognize the truth that Bible...

That is evidently your misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the KJV. Perhaps by eisegesis you are reading your own human opinions into verses that do not actually teach what you may read into them or add to them. The text of the KJV clearly teaches that it is the process of the giving of...

Your opinion is incorrect. You seem unsoundly to consider you yourself superior to other believers. You are not an infallible "pope" who is perfect in your understanding of the Scriptures. As a believer indwelt and guided by the Holy Spirit of truth, I understand spiritual truth just as well...

The giving of additional progressive direct revelation by God ended with the completion of the New Testament. KJV-only author David Cloud noted: “The New Testament was finished in the days of the apostles and sealed in the final chapter, Revelation, with a solemn warning against adding to or...

In the 1611 preface, the KJV translators alerted its readers: “doth not a margin do well to admonish the reader to seek further, and not to conclude or dogmatize upon this or that peremptorily? For it is a fault of incredulity, to doubt of those things that are evident; so to determine of such...

Peter did not say that God wanted His words to be kept in archaic language hard to be understood. Instead of referring to words hard to be understood, perhaps some doctrines of God are the things referred to as hard to be understood. "And how hear we every man in our tongue, wherein we were...

The guiding of the Holy Spirit was just as available to the believers who made the NKJV as to the Church of England makers of the KJV. Not according to scholars. According to what the Scriptures themselves teach concerning the indwelling and guiding of all believers by the Holy Spirit. The...

Do you grant God the same artistic license in the NKJV? The guiding of the Holy Spirit was just as available to the believers who made the NKJV as to the Church of England makers of the KJV.

In his 1828 dictionary, Noah Webster defined archaism as “an ancient or obsolete phrase or expression.” The 1967 Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary presented the following definitions for its entry archaic: “1. Of, relating to, or characteristic of an earlier or more primitive time...
