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...

According to a consistent, just application of the measures/standards used by KJV-only advocates to attack the NKJV, would the KJV translators be condemned for omitting "thy God" at Deuteronomy 26:1 in the 1611 edition of the KJV? David Norton wrote: "Without the evidence of Bod 1602 [the 1602...

That portion of Psalm 14 was earlier found in the 1535 Coverdale's Bible and 1539 Great Bible before it was found in the 1610 Douay Old Testament. It is also found in the Church of England's book of Psalms in its Book of Common Prayer. It is numbered Psalm 13 in the Latin Vulgate and Douay OT...

The NKJV does not omit the word "God" 51 times where the Hebrew word for "God" or the Greek word for "God" is found in the KJV's and the NKJV's underlying original-language texts of Scripture. Differing from the KJV would not prove the NKJV to be wrong. This example would demonstrate the...

You have proven no deceit and no "smear campaign" in my accurate statements. You prove no misrepresentation of your views in my posts. You improperly attack me for believing that you believe what you yourself post. It is your own assertions that demonstrate that you hold to a form of KJV-only...

In some 1572 editions of the Bishops’ Bible, the Psalms of the Bishops' Bible were printed in parallel columns with the Psalms of the Great Bible. In some of its later editions published in 1575 and 1595, the Psalms of the Great Bible were printed in place of Bishops’ Bible’s own rendering of...

As their starting point in English or as their English foundation, the KJV translators were given copies of the 1602 edition of the Bishops' Bible. David Norton wrote: “The 1602 Bishops’ Bible frequently differs from the original 1568 text, so much so that in parts such as the Psalms it ought...

Some KJV defenders strongly object to being identified accurately as KJV-only even though they clearly have made exclusive claims for only one English Bible translation--the KJV. For one example, D. A. Waite (1927-2024) has clearly made some exclusive "only" claims for the KJV that would...

KJV-only author D. A. Waite sought to maintain that the term KJV-only should apply only to Peter Ruckman and his followers. D. A. Waite tried to suggest that the “KJV-only camp” is “the Peter Ruckman camp” (Critical Answer to Michael Sproul’s, p. 100). D. A. Waite contended that KJV-only “is a...
