I am praying for that result, or even better! I want you reading here on the BB for as long as its your desire. God bless you, sir; and Merry Christmas.

My apologies to Jim and others that may have difficulty reading the smaller text size. The quotes I choose have a direct application to statements being frequently made or implied on the BB. These two recent quotes are evidence that Baptists have historically believed that God's inspired...

A quote from the same Baptists And The Bible (page 28) by John Smyth sometime before 1612. He is thought by some to have founded the Baptist denomination --Men are of two sortes: Inspired, or ordinary men. Men Inspired by the Holy Ghost are the Holy Prophets & Apostles who wrote the holy...

One of the books I'm currently reading is Baptists And The Bible (1980, page 98) by L. Russ Bush and Tom J. Nettles. I want to share a quote from a man named Benjamin Keach, who may be known due to his having produced The Baptist Catechism based upon the Second London Confession (1677), from one...

That 'cover-all-the-bases' approach would completely undermine the Pastor's entire teaching.

The same Greek word appears 15 other times in the NT; below are the other 4 times it appears in the book of Mark. I am showing the KJV and NLT (as the OP did) along with the NIV and NASB for comparison -- Mark 3:1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a...

Any chance that the translators favored the word "unicorn" because it would be pleasing to their Scottish boss?

What I find more interesting than the language and contextual proofs is that most 17th century Europeans still held the possibility that an animal similar in likeness to our 'fantasy' unicorn atually existed. Notice zoological books published at about the same time; observe the UK Royal...

Actually, many of these examples are archaic expressions and not mistakes. Below is merely a sampling of explanations for some archaic terms or phrases -- In a modern online dictionary 'possess' has this (similar definitions may be found elsewhere): 7.Obsolete. To gain or seize. Under...

How do you feel about the passages and words in the KJV that do not come from either the TR or the MT? Are they genuine Scripture for you?

Perhaps I do not understand your comments: Are you saying that the copyists of later Greek manuscripts (like 2814) that support the TR were influenced by the contemporary thought of their time?

Does anyone know why nearly all the early English versions have "in" & "Laodicia" (singular) rather than "of the Laodicieans" as the TR Greek would suggest? Can anyone suggest a good reason that the KJV would depart from the textual tradition of the preceding 'authorized' English versions...

My brothern-in-law was claiming by use of the KJV word "Laodicieans" that this church was more 'human' (apostate) than any before it.

Revelation 3:14 in other (presumably?) TR-based versions which are NOT made plural in English -- TYNDALE And vnto the messenger of ye congregacio which is in Laodicia wryte: This sayth (amen) the faythfull and true witnes ye begynninge of the creatures of God. COVERDALE And vnto the angell...

The countdown clock is now at 8 days. The KJV was probably released to the public sometime in the early part of 1611 (although an exact publication date is unknown, I think). Why start the celebration before Christmas in 2010? (oh, maybe I just answered my own question)

There is gonna be a lot of MISinformation, too. For example, in the first podcast at the celebration site, the narrator says that King James was responsible for "commissioning the first English translation of the Bible". Then it goes on to mention other prior translations. Confusing at the least.

I have no serious problems with the dates suggested for the completion of particular books. Yes, there may have been as many as a dozen of our canonical books in existance in David's lifetime. However, it is another thing altogeher to assert that David possessed all these books and recognized...

Why assume that "thy word" means written words? They received most of their instructions from God through prophets speaking to them (and oral transmission). Of course, there was also visions, dreams, etc.

Thanks, your response was interesting. jonathan, are you saying that Minscule 2814 (formerly 1r) stands nearly alone in these readings? How few MSS agree with 2814 here? (I am aware that the Majority Text does NOT support the TR for "of Laodiceans" at 3:14 but rather has "in Laodicea")

Since no one from a TR-preferred position has weighed in, could you just comment on whether the KJV is actually a proper translation of the TR Greek? Thanks
