If you wanted me to die so that your Bible would not be in Latin, you would still be having a Latin Bible.

Baptists’ Bible Use

Huh? Nobody wants you to die, so what has that to do with the conversation.
And are the NKJV and ASV just as blood soaked as the KJV? Simple question. What are the necessary qualifications for blood soaked status?
Send me the name of your church so that I can be sure to avoid it.
When someone makes an assertion concerning the KJV, they should be willing to identify the measures, standards, or qualifications which were used as the basis for the claim.
It would be sound and just to ask that the measures, standards, or qualifications for "blood-soaked" status be applied justly.
Do you read what you have written?
So maligning a group of believers is a viable default when one can't answer a simple question?
It's funny, we could all discuss the criteria for canonicity at school without any heartburn.
Oh, and since you've started a new thread, I suppose we should direct this discussion over there and allow the bible use thread to return to it's regular scheduled programming.
Yes, I was l little tentative about starting a thread about what Bibles Baptists actually use, because I was afraid it would devolve into another tit-for -tat about Bible versions. Guess I was right.
I alternate between the NIV and NLT.
"With their blood" you said. So you are saying more than one person died for the KJV.
Of course you are calling Tyndale's translation the KJV, which is an ahistorical way of thinking.
Be specific, (I know that's not your forte). Name individuals who died for the KJV.
The mysterious "they" crops up again. Who exactly are they?
Even metaphors are stretched too far in your hands.
Ranting means to denounce or scold with vigor. I have never ranted about the NIV. Dictionaries can be friends of yours.Not as many times as your seemingly endless rants about how great the NIV is!
Is that your summary of what the Reformation accomplished? What a pity that you have no appreciation for Church History.
Name a Lollard who died on behalf of an English Bible (for even you will acknowledge that the KJV did not exist then).
What exactly are you referencing about the year 1518 that has anything to do with an English Bible?
What has that to do with any English translation?
How is the KJV a Bible translation in any different sense than the NKJV is?Where is this mysterious new thread? I can't find it.
Apparently Rippon can't either!
The dictionary had THIS definition of rant first:
rant/rant/verb
- 1. - to speak at length in a wild, impassioned way.
....which describes you and the NIV perfectly. And yes, you frequently get angry and un-Christlike to others when someone says anything negative about the NIV. "If the shoe fits".

From the dictionary -- in the noun form -- in which you used it. Rant means :Not as many times as your seemingly endless rants about how great the NIV is!
"A long angry speech or scolding."
But I have never given a long angry speech about the NIV.
A rant is against someone or something.
*Note to self pertaining to rippon*
Bye, rippon.
Bye, rippon.

Thanks. Guess I expected "blood-soaked" to be in the title.
