No, that would not be the case. By the time the pastor went back (if he went back) to the NASB she would be well aware of his reasons. She might appreciate the fact that he had preached for a time out of the KJV for her sake (and at the same time proving he actually has no prejudice against the...

So, its OK to preach from a version to assert his own right, but its wrong to preach from the same version temporarily out of love? C'mon, are sure you've never given up something for the sake of someone else?

Yes, you would likely be consistent on that part. I was wondering at the how the other possible result would have been taken: that is, I doubt there would been the same outcry if the pastor had decided to stop preaching from the KJV.

I'm wondering, if the pastor was KJVO and preaching each week from the KJV and it had been the dear lady member that was suggesting that he use the NASB how this conversation might have been very different. Hmmm.

Do you regularly engage in "obviously wrong" behavior? No! (at least I hope not) You see, it is difficult for us to recognize our own faults. We should listen carefully to others when they risk coming to us with an issue. Listening and considering is much harder to do when your busy exerting...

Another exaggeration? Did I suggest that the pastor 'abdicate' his position as leader? Is giving preference to another person for brief time really so horrible? I get the sense that there is a lot of pride out there.

Y'all are pretty quick to send her over to a KJVO church. That'll be real good for her. Jesus taught that the shephard should leave the rest of the flock to restore just one that had gone astray. (Matthew 18:12)

OK, what are the other reasons? What else is Inspiration besides inerrancy, infallibility, and accuracy?

First, are inerrantcy & infallibility the only aspects of Inspiration? Is 'inspiration' just another way of saying that the words of God are perfect? Is there more to Inspiration. If so, what? Second, must Inspiration be applied ONLY to the entire canon as a whole unit? The Bible wasn't...

Does that happen to you, too? (BTW, if you're gonna abbreviate Baptist4life you should probably use B4L since BFL can mean Big-Fat-Liar)

I guess you could find no harm in my suggestion since you just flipped the question back to me. I thought I already explained some reasons why he might (not must) acquiesce for a period. Basically, this woman is asking the pastor to cease using the NASB for the sermons; probably on the basis...

Yes, I would.

The OP did not have the word "offense" or "offend" in it at all. No one has suggested that the Gospel should not be preached. No one has suggested that convictions should be compromised. No one is suggesting that pastors should be bullied about by members of the congregation. In his own words...

So, it is OK to genuinely offend one person, just not a bunch of people? How many people is too many to offend?

"One woman" is what you seem to be addressing. I offered (per his request) my advise, which was not required to be limited to just the one person. That was the second misrepresentation of my original post. The first was the misrepresentation of the word "offended" (from the context of discussing...

Correct. Right. I agree. True.

Although the OP was about one dear lady in the church, my reponse was addressing the plural ("members" and "precious ones") because she unlikely to be the only one. She may have church friends and family that hold the same convictions. I agree that one person does not require a change; but one...

I understand what you're saying, Harold. Actually, I find 'Easter' to be nearly an offensive term. I have found 'Easter' to mean bunnies, eggs, candy, fancy women's hats, retail sales, and churchish rituals. I much prefer the term "Resurrection Sunday'.

annsni, so you agree that I didn't write that the Gospel should not be preached. I felt like I was being accused of saying something which was untrue. This what I said concerning 'offense' (it is in the context of discussing the 'version issue' with her) -- Actually, what I wrote was that he...

annsi, your response following the quotation of part of my post makes it appear like I suggested that the Gospel should not be preached to avoid offense. Did you really see anything like that in my original post? Do you think that is something I would propose?
