I think it was recognized at least as early as 1826, when Campbell wrote -- So badly taught are many christians that they cannot think that any translation of the scriptures deserves the the title of the Word of God except that of king James. ...

Yes, YES! That's it! When people see a word they don't know they should look it up in a dictionary or some source. But it is the words they think they know, but don't really know, that are misleading them. "Study" in 2 Timothy 2:15 is a classic example; "prevent" and "let" have been mentioned...

It makes me wonder, since they were so concerned with what was on the outside, if they ever read beyond the cover.

Unfortunately, due to some members recently flooding the forum with multiple topics in a single day, some other folks' topics have been pushed off the first page, and thus they become neglected. I have well over 100 English Bibles and/or NT translations (not sure exactly, and adding all the...

Enjoying the BB archives, Bob? Actually, there is a LOT of good stuff in there.

No, not strictly speaking. Neither is there a separate specific Greek word present for "made", although the idea is somewhat implied. There are 18 Greek words in the TR which are rendered into 24 English words in the KJV (clearly, not a one-to-one correspondance). Some of the 'extra' English...

It appears your friend quoted the NKJV, not the KJV. Besides not having the word "to" the NKJV uses the English form "incorruptable" rather than "uncorruptable" as in the KJV at Romans 1:23. The Greek word aphthartos (Strong's # 862) can indicate that something is imperishable or immortal...

I think it is very simply that some believe that there cannot be two (or more) sets of 'inspired' words, which kinda' makes sense. And the Tyndale (NT), Geneva Bible, and the KJV are quite different at some particular verses*; therefore, they cannot ALL be the only perfect translation. Things...

Good study Bible; they're a little hard to come by. I have a digital version which was a free download. Also, can be read online. Text is KJV, if I remember correctly. Bullinger's Appendices in it are wonderful. I aspire to have one someday.

I just held a copy of the EMTV in my hands yesterday for the first time. The 9 point text is very hard to read in my opinion; but the margins are wide. The EMTV is a complete Bible, meaning that the OT is a translation from the Greek LXX; NT is a translation of the MT. The OT seems to be the...

Thanks, annsni. I was ignorant of that feature!

Yes, any one who read the article would know that there is no such statement. But you stated in your OP -- So, just show us where the 'charge' in any form is repeated in that article.

Yes, but I think we need to make that discussion a separate thread. I will answer your three questions briefly: I was including ALL centuries from the end of the Apostolic age even up to about 1900; historical doctrines are those which have been discussed, argued, debated, systemitized, put...

There are only about 16 paragraphs in the article, of which 2 are about Ruckman (I reproduced those in Post #76). That does not qualify as "only" talking about Ruckman. In addition, Camp made it very clear that Ruckman was "extreme". You have no real evidence that he was in any way dishonest.

No, you failed to answer the 'challenge' (your description, not mine); of course, I cannot accept an 'answer' that doesn't actually qualify as an answer. You were aware of the exact 'challenge'. You repeated it in your post, and then you mocked it by changing a key word (from "before" to...

Apparently you are ignorant of the fact that past threads are archived and available to view. You can go back several years and read what was written. They can randomly pop up in saved and unsaved people's Google searches. (Not to mention that we will give an account for our words one day.)

stilllearning, please respond to the questions posed to you in posts #75, #76, and #77 for the benefit of any person (including those that may be unsaved) reading this thread presently and the viewable archive for years to come.

There are a couple; I can only recommend the one I have read which the ALT (Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament).

I cannot find in the Camp article any such charge. Please reproduce the statement from the article that would substatiate your accusation. Thanks.

I read the article over a couple of times and I cannot agree with your OP that Mr. Camp is a dishonest reporter. The closest he seems to come to 'double inspiration' (those words don't actually appear anywhere in the article) is by quoting another person's somewhat subdued but otherwise...
