Is this a 'trick' question?

Bob, I believe you are right. However the level of biblical illiteracy is so high in Amercia among Christians and the unsaved alike that it hardly matters. And I apologize for my contributions that could be considered off-topic; I've felt your disappointment myself.

I am not so much anti-KJVO as I am against the public display of poor logic, bad argumentation, misinformation, and just plain falsehoods. I tend to respond the KJVO crowd because they tend to be guilty of these problems frequently. For example, in my experience it much more common for KJVOs to...

I have this book, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

ABHOR ABIDE ABROAD ADAMANT AFFINITY AGUE AVERSE BRUIT CHARGE CHASTE CHOLER CHURLISH Remember this list? What about these other difficult words that GAR didn't use as examples? Will Step One of the KJV's "built-in dictionary" work for them?

There are similarities in all the versions. So your point is?

Original or Unique to the KJV? ABROAD Gen. 10:18 | "spread abrode" | Bishop's Gen. 10:18 | "spred abroade" | Geneva Gen. 10:18 | "spread abroad" | KJV Gen. 10:18 | "spread abroad" | ASV Gen. 10:18 | "spread abroad" | RSV Gen. 10:18 | "spread abroad" | NASB AVERSE Mic. 2:8 | "averse...

ABROAD Gen. 10:18 | "spread abroad" | OED | "wide spread" Really? ABROAD is a difficult word? Don't people study abroad or travel abroad anymore? Finally, a quick note about this last of her 5 examples so that I can move on to some other points. I disagree that "spread" in any way defines...

CHASTE 2 Cor. 11:2 | "a chaste virgin" | WNC | "refraining from all acts, thoughts, etc. that are not virginal" Riplinger is so desperate to have the KJV's "built-in dictionary" work that she must employ many secular dictionaries. The WNC is Webster's New College dictionary since apparently...

The similarities between the NKJV and KJV are much greater than with most other versions. Many, many specific similarities in English betray the use of very similar (if not identical) underlying ancient language texts.

I have several KJVs and I can assure you that there are differences between them. This may be my error: I should never own more than one Bible at one time. I shouldn't be looking at my neighbor's Bible, either. I should close my mind to any comparison between KJVs. Please help me. I want to...

If the NKJV doesn't come from the same texts as the KJV, which some on here claim, then why the vast similarities between the two?

Your fallacy is known as the 'false dilemma'. Translations (books, chapters, verses, down to individual words) are accepted or rejected soley on the basis of the accuracy of the transmission from the source language to the target language; not by the origins of source documents.

I can scripturally accept that God is involved in everything. I can only scripturally defend that the inspired delivery of His revelation was at the point of the writing. It is my opinion that God progressively allows men to discover His words. Part of the process of discovering His words is...

AVERSE Mic. 2:8 | "averse from war" | WEB | "This word includes the idea of from" Riplinger is ever the master of favorable editing. Here is the complete quote from a note in Webster's 1828 dictionary (NOT from the actual definitions) --This word and its derivatives ought to be followed by to...

No, I'm saying that Bibles don't grow on trees. Somebody has to physically make them, print them, record them. But on the hand, the Bible states that holy men spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The KJV translators did not 'speak' new content when translating; the 'speaking' had...

Unless you use some sort of supernatural Bible that is not actually printed on paper with ink or not electronically delivered to your eyes or ears then you are using a Bible that wholly man-made.

I can imagine that the believers who read those old manuscripts as their cherished Scriptures would be deeply offended that you say that their personal Bibles "are of no real use". I would be honored to use a genuine 5th Century (or 9th, 13th, etc.) Christian's incomplete and imperfect sacred...

CHARGE Gen. 26:5 | "my charge, my commandments" | WEB | "synonomous with command" I know that Riplinger is only concerned with the English words, but there is a Hebrew word for "charge" and a different Hebrew word for "commandments". What bearing does that have on the English? Well first...
