Another person who attended the Sword Scripture Text Conference gave the following report concerning it:
"Even though I use the KJV exclusively and wish others would as well, the KJV Sword of the Lord conference this week was too extreme for my tastes. I attended all of it except the first night. Last night (Thursday, Jan. 17) was the worst. Norris Belcher was the most extreme of the bunch last night, making a mockery of Greek and Hebrew. The title of his message was, "Shut up, you don't speak Greek!" He had everyone raise their hand that had taken Greek. He then asked if any of them could say, "I'm going to McDonald's to buy a hamburger." He then made fun of them for not being able to say it in Greek (of course he didn't tell you that the words "McDonalds" and "hamburger" never existed in Koine Greek). He tried to mock preachers that "go to the Greek," because "the KJV has a built-in dictionary." The example he gave of a built-in dictionary made no sense. He said that Strong's dictionary is wrong in about 80% of what it says. He didn't say outright that it was wrong to teach Greek and Hebrew in Bible colleges, but he tried to leave people with the impression that it was a waste of time and counter-productive.
Towards the beginning of the conference there was talk about being kind, not insulting and showing the truth in love, but as the conference continued the atmosphere degenerated. The NIV was called "Non-Inspired-Version" and "the HIV," etc.
One of the tracts being distributed for free at one of the booths had the following title: "10 Steps to total apostasy if you do not use the KJV."
