The book of Psalms in the Great Bible and in the 1602 Bishops’ Bible was the same version of the Psalms found in the Church of England’s Book of Common Prayer. David Daniell wrote: “The Protestant Books of Common Prayer were in daily use in every one of the over nine thousand parish churches in...

Along with indicating acceptance of its underlying text and its translating, KJV-only authors also acknowledge the popularity and wide use of the Geneva Bible. William Bradley wrote: "The Geneva Bible was the Bible of the people, the Bible of the persecuted Christians and martyrs of the faith...

Your observation is incorrect. The word of God had been translated into English many years before 1611. The KJV translators identified the pre-1611 English Bibles as being the word of God in English. I have repeatedly noted that the KJV is the word of God translated into English in the same...

Baptists in their Standard Confession of Faith of 1660 seemed to think it necessary to give an English definition for the word “baptize.” This 1660 Baptist Confession has this explanation after the word baptize: “that is in English to dip” (McGlothin, Baptist Confessions, p. 115). In his 1649...

Three or four posters [Alan Dale Gross, JD731, Anthony Pritchard] may copy and paste longer articles than I do.

You show that you evidently have not read all my posts the past six months or else you bear false witness by misrepresenting my scripturally-based position. I had posted the following part of my scripturally-based position in response to one of your posts in another thread. All my scripture...

There is no "if" about it. All the makers of the 1611 KJV were members of the state Church of England. Archbishop Richard Bancroft was the overseer of the translating. In their preface, the KJV translators referred to Richard Bancroft as the "chief overseer and task-master under his Majesty...

Your statement seems to be asserting that God did not have anything to do with the pre-1611 English Bibles of which the KJV is a revision. Do you seem to suggest that God is a "trial and error God" in His involvement with the pre-1611 English Bibles which the KJV translators identified as being...

On the first page of his two-page preface in the 2022 edition of his book, John Brug wrote: “The form of the Hebrew text that the Masoretes worked so hard to transmit accurately had already accumulated errors of transmission before it came into their hands” (Textual Criticism of the Old...

The word of God had been translated into English many years before 1611, but you do not apply the Scriptures you cited consistently and justly to the pre-1611 word of God in English. According to a consistent application of your own stated reasoning, how can you figure out why God supposedly...

Your seeming appeal to subjective, mystical personal experience instead of to a consistent application of scriptural truths may be way off. Are you repeating or parroting KJV-only author Jack McElroy's question Which Bible Would Jesus Use? Jack McElroy claimed: “All the King James Bible is...

This claim that suggests that King James I was baptized as an infant according to the dominant Anglican liturgical practice of their day is not true. The mother of King James I of England [James VI of Scotland] was a Roman Catholic queen of Scotland. As an infant, James was baptized with a...

Where is the sound verifiable evidence that the new reading introduced into the Textus Receptus by Theodore Beza at Revelation 16:5 has been in use by true churches and the people of God from the time that God gave the autographs until this day? In his article entitled “New Testament...

These scriptural instructions and truths provide sound guidance concerning how to know the words which the LORD has or has not spoken (Deut. 18:20-22, Jer. 23:16, Jer. 23:35, Ezek. 22:28, Isa. 8:20, 1 Thess. 5:21, 1 John 4:1). Does following these instructions or this guidance minister doubts...

Thanks for the remainder about the 1640 Bay Psalm Book. I have a copy of the 1956 facsimile reprint edition of The Bay Psalm Book by the University of Chicago Press along with a companion volume about it entitled The Enigma of the Bay Psalm Book by Zoltan Haraszti. William Barker noted that...

Is the spiritual content of Scripture compromised by many pre-1611 English Bibles and yet another one in 1611? Was the spiritual content of Scripture compromised by the Church of England makers of the KJV borrowing many renderings from the 1582 Roman Catholic Rheims New Testament?

David Norton wrote: “Though the Sternhold and Hopkins Psalter held sway, it gives many of the Psalms in two or three versions, and they might also be heard in the PB [Prayer Book] version and the differing versions of the Bible translations. Since the Bible, the PB and the singing Psalter were...

Did God in effect provide English-speaking believers with multiple differing authorities in English for many years? Did those believers accept each of those differing English Bibles as its own final authority in and of itself or did they accept them as equally the word of God translated into...

The preserved Scriptures in the original languages have the original-language words of God that proceeded from His mouth by inspiration to the prophets and apostles. God has not said or taught in Scripture that the word of God is bound or limited to the textual criticism decisions, Bible...

In his article entitled “New Testament Conjectural Emendation: Folly or Duty,”Jan Krans wrote: “At Rev. 16:5, probably through a misunderstanding, Beza printed o esomenos instead of o hosios from his 1582 edition onwards” (Wallace, Pen, p. 173, footnote 21). In notes under correspondence from...
