Are KJV's italicized words inspired?

Logos 1560: Did the KJV translators always put words they added in italics? Are there any words in present editions of the KJV that were not in italics in the 1611 edition?

I don't think the KJVOs wanna answer, so lemme point out some...All those "GOD FORBIDS", for starters.

 

What about all of the words that other translators didn't italicize???? At least the KJV translators were honest enough to put them in italics....

 

That's just my point...They curse the KJV translators for using italics....It just shows how tired that junk is!!!

 

Who has cursed the KJV translators for using italics?

 

No one ever backslid because they believed, trusted, and obeyed the italicized words.

No one ever backslid because they believed, trusted, and obeyed the translator footnotes.
At least i have no example of if

 

I backslid, sure nuff. So at least we know that being KJVO will not make you perfect. But I don't think that was what Lacy was saying, now was it.

 

How do you know? Are you omniscient? Can you prove your statement? Are you sure that there are no people who hold the KJV-only theory that have ever backslide? </font>[/QUOTE]It is quite plain to me that Bro. Lacy said what he said and it is true whether you like it or not.

I will even go so far as to say that there has never been anybody who has believed, trusted and obeyed the KJV as a whole who has backslid.

Get it Logos? believed...trusted...obeyed. Let it sink in for a minute, okay?

I, also backslid. But it was that believed, trusted, obeyed part that got me. I didn't! And boy did I pay for it! Backslid so hard and so far, I STILL have road rash.

But God is good. All one must do is believe, trust and obey and you will hear, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, welcome home." (I am getting way off topic, sorry )

Are the italicized words inspired? I believe they are every bit as inspired as the rest of His words.

I can say, "como esta?" or "como esta usted?", and it still means "How are you?"

I didn't read through the entire thread but here is my opinion:

If the italicised words are necessary to carry forth the exact meaning of the Greek or Hebrew of the original language text then the italicised English words have the status of derived inspiration.

Thing is, Jim, the italicized words are not GOD'S words. They are clarifying words added by the translators, given the differences in English and the sources translated into English. And I believe you realize that different translators make differing translations. The AV just happens to be the work of one given group of translators, just as the Geneva is, or the NASV. ALL have clarifiers added where necessary to make the English understandable by English readers. But are they inspired in the KJV? No, not any more than they are in any other valid English version.

 

Get me a Labradore and I'll retrieve it!

Is a Labrador Retriever one who retrieves Labrador if it gets lost?

Is it a retriever in Labrador who will find anything you lose in Labrador??

If you hunt with a Lab, do you look for Science Projects to perform?

Do you shoot Canadian geese with a Labrador Gun Dog, which goes "arf!" instead of "BOOM!"?

 

Just an FYI for clarification.

They are called Canada geese, not Canadian. Trust a westerner to know the difference.

Thanx, Jim...but tell me...Do they switch citizenship at the border?

 

Yes. But only as long as they are in America. They are called America geese.
When they finally get to Mexico they become Mexico geese.
BTW; These are the best tasting. I think it is because they are "seasoned" just right by then! LOL
