Who knows when a publisher makes a mistake over hundreds of years. This is why God is so wise in building in a safeguard so the Bible itself provides a way to correct the text. Obviously this could work only for those who have confidence is the words. God has thought of everything.

Thank you for that. It is good for a person to be cut down to size once in a while if he needs it.

Knowing your religious philosophy there will be almost nothing on which we will find agreement, especially the church of Jesus Christ. You are a person who follows those teachings that spiritualizes nearly all the OT scriptures and much of the NT. I, on the other hand, follow a historical...

Just because the scriptures are written and can be read does not mean that God has revealed the truths contained in them. He said "here a little and there a little." Take, for instance, the entire NT scriptures. They are said to reveal "mysteries." What does that mean? It means that things have...

I do not dismiss the importance of the words of the original languages but I understand that ones cannot learn the great mysteries of the faith and the deep things of God with these words exclusively. You have even unwittingly demonstrated your inability in your comments. Many of those you quote...

I make no apologies for thinking that one who spends a life time of study from the KJV and believes every word of it is surely going to have a better grasp on the doctrines of the faith than someone who studies from a multitude of translations they say they don’t believe are actually the words...

I do not acknowledge errors in the KJV words of God. I do acknowledge errors in copies and spellings and I am aware of an adversary that seeks to pervert the words of God. For instance, I have had published copies of the KJV that had several errors and I had to discard them. The Bible Gateway...

Did I not say that God noted this philosophy as a problem. Men did that which was right in their own eyes. But that is not the main problem between me and you and those who like what you say. We have a completely different view about God and his ways and because of this there will not likely be...

I am going to quote Numbers 20:14 in it's context and suggest if you cannot discern the meaning and how you should process this then it your problem. Num 20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank...

When I read this quote that expresses your attitude toward the eternal word of God I thought of this verse that puts your views into context, at least for me. Jud 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Paul said these words about...

Examples, please. My arguments have never been about new inspiration in new Bibles but about preservation of the inspired record and testimony of God across languages and progressive revelation through the passing of time and fulfilled prophesy. You seemed to purposely missed that.

Well, okay but what do you think the mystery is that Paul is revealing? Now who am I to argue against the great minds of Palmer Roberton and Author L Johnson? But what is one of the main reasons for a continuous line of new Bibles? It is so people can understand God better in modern English and...

The KJV translators were wise to have that opinion about themselves. That is my opinion of them too. God could not trust men to make right decisions about his testimony. The text of the KJV says it is the words of God, not the words of the KJV translators. Jesús Christ himself said that his...

Let me just say that your logic here is very flawed. This can be illustrated by the example you chose to illustrate your point. You chose Ephesian 2 here: What you actually illustrate is that you have completely missed the point of the letter and it's theme. The letter is the revelation of a...

Listen guy, your argument is not making sense to me. If you do not believe your translated Bible is inspired then you must look up every word in a concordance to learn what God really said and to check if your translation is reliable. Otherwise you never really read the word of God. You guys, in...

You figured out what the word "prevent" means. Why are you so sure lesser ones cannot?

Phooey on this argument. Some of the Jewish customs , like the wedding ceremony, is harder to grasp than what you refer to as an archaic word. Who, besides maybe the NIV people , have tried to make that easy to be understood. He calls the NT church with it's unique doctrines, mysteries. Peter...

Not if the NKJV has "tree of Life" in Re 22:19. According to what scholar?

Maybe "Archaic" is your word and not God's in the context of English translation! "neither are your ways my ways saith the LORD." ISA 55"8 God has artistic license since it is his word. I would say you have successfully convinced the readers of your books and your commentary on pages like this...

I definitely believe God has managed his word more than once into languages but nobody has made the argument that new English translations are God's words or that it is God who is updating them. The opposite seems to be more true.
