The KJV completely removed some archaic, antiquated, rare, unusual, or difficult words or spellings found in one or more of the pre-1611 English Bibles. These words would be English Bible words or Biblical English found in the pre-1611 English Bibles. Should all the following words have been...

In the parallel passages presenting the parable of the fig tree in the gospel of Matthew and in the gospel of Mark, is it easier to understand the KJV referring to the same branch as “his branch” (Matt. 24:32) and “her branch” (Mark 13:28)? The NKJV has “its branch” at both verses. Is the KJV...

Is it interesting that you claim not to have any use for KJV-only authors and yet you repeat favorably the incorrect claims of one extreme KJV-only author, Jack McElroy?

Gail Riplinger claimed that the NKJV “and all new versions use many, many, many more words and letters to say something than the KJV does” (In Awe, pp. 269-270). Gail Riplinger asserted that the KJV “says things using fewer words than any of the corrupt new versions” (p. 270). Gail Riplinger's...

Sometimes KJV-only advocates seem to attempt to suggest incorrectly that harder words, longer three-syllable or four-syllable words, or difficult words are the same thing as archaic words when they are not. The NKJV used the three-syllable words “animal” [45 times] or “animals” [39 times] where...

I do not disapprove of anyone reading the KJV even reading only the KJV as you try improperly to misrepresent what I state. In disobedience to a command of God, you bear false witness with your false accusations and strawman misrepresentations of me. I love the KJV and accept the KJV as what...

You continue your use of carnal smear tactics and strawman distortions as you make false accusations that bear false witness. You do not prove any of my statements to be "lies" yet you repeatedly throw out that bogus false accusation. In contrast, it has been soundly demonstrated that you do...

Jack McElroy contended: “Each Bible says and means two different things. The Lord can’t have the same verses saying two different things without looking inconsistent” (Which Bible, p. 138). Jack McElroy asserted: “The Lord can’t recommend both of these Bibles because they say and mean the exact...

After citing Isaiah 34:16, Gary John Rov referred to “this 1611 King James Bible, ‘the book of the LORD’, in the right hand of God on the throne” (Called of God, p. 59, p. 60). After quoting Isaiah 34:16 (p. 305), Jack McElroy suggested that the 1611 KJV is that book of the LORD that the Lord...

Concerning 2 Timothy 3:15, Jack McElroy asserted: “Timothy’s mom and grandmother had ‘the holy scriptures’ in their possession. They had copies—not originals” (Which Bible, p. 235). Jack McElroy maintained that “Scripture was in Timothy’s possession” (p. 256). Did Jack McElroy, and over twenty...

The KJV translators failed to follow their Hebrew Masoretic text's marginal reading at Isaiah 9:3 as they had followed it at Exodus 21:8. John Eadie asserted: “The Masora gives fifteen instances where lo should be written so as to signify ‘to him’—and not to signify ‘not.’ Thus in Isaiah 9:3...

You try to claim that you are not KJV-only yet you favorably repost inconsistent, incorrect KJV-only reasoning of KJV-only author Jack McElroy, who uses double standard or divers measures. The truth remains that the Hebrew name for God or the Greek name for God is not found in the KJV's and...

Concerning the Bishops’ Bible, Henry Barker wrote: “In the tenth edition (1577) the Great Bible Psalms appear alone, as is the case in the seventeenth and eighteenth editions of 1595 and 1602. Several editions of the Bishops’ Bible contain the Prayer Book Psalms. In one and all there is the...

Spencer Smith wrote: "One of the more troubling theological statements attributed to Jack Hyles involved comments he made concerning his unsaved father and the possibility of alleviating his suffering in Hell through his own life and ministry. On February 7, 1988, Jack Hyles preached a sermon...

Jack Hyles declared: “I must find this perfect Bible that is without error with every word of God preserved” (Need for an Every-word Bible, p. 21). After quoting Matthew 4:4, Jack Hyles claimed: “You cannot live if you don’t have ‘every word’ (p. 17). Jack Hyles asserted: “We must have every...

Psalm 37 in the 1602 edition of the Bishops’ Bible has 41 verses, and the beginning of its verse 29 stated: “The righteous shalbe punished.” Jack Lewis wrote: “All Bishops’ printings that have the Great Bible Psalms repeat its error: ‘The righteous shall be punished’ (Ps. 37:28)” (Day after...

The 1895 Sunday School Teacher's Bible noted the following concerning "damnation, or condemnation" in its list of obsolete or ambiguous words in the KJV: "These words were used as equivalent terms when the A. V. was made." KJV-only author Jack Moorman wrote that “there is not a great deal of...

Does this claimed "table of changes" unintentionally reveal KJV-only reasoning as an unidentified one of the many varying editions of the King James Version would seem to be assumed to be the standard in and of itself, in effect assuming or making the textual criticism decisions and translation...

Concerning the Bishops' Bible, Charles Butterworth noted: "Among its peculiarities is the frequent use of 'God' where other versions have 'the Lord'" (Literary Lineage, p. 180). For example, the 1568 Bishops’ Bible has “God” at many verses [Ps. 3:1, 5:8, 6:1, 8:1, 15:1, 18:1, 20:1, 23:1, 24:1...

Was it an enormously serious problem and an alarming inadequacy for the Church of England makers of the KJV to remove three whole verses at Psalm 14 that were found in the 1535 Coverdale's Bible, the 1539 Great Bible, and the 1602 edition of the Bishops' Bible? Was it an enormously serious...
