This is simply my personal opinion, but I think I know the mindset of a person who posted like this. He is KJVO, was converted to KJVOism by something as simple as a chart showing the differences in translations, not understanding the full background.Originally posted by Jeffrey H:
Kidz-4-Him,
You appear to be a "hit and run" guy. You post something and never respond. Do you want to dialogue or are you afraid that your mind will be changed about "KJV onlyism"? Remember, this is a discussion board.
If "hit and run" is your tactic, then I will refrain from responding to any topic you start.

The JW's were founded with the KJV...Originally posted by Askjo:
The JW bible (the cult) and modern versions are gone back to the W/H text. How sad!![]()
So was Joseph Smith's religion, Ellen White's, Mary Baker Eddy's, Jim Jones', David Koresh', etc, etc, etc...The JW's were founded with the KJV...
Your theory makes sense... since this describes me to the "Tee." Riplinger and a few well-placed charts got me into it... I came to this board "certain" of my KJVO position because of Mrs. Riplinger and her charts. Upon finding this board and researching some of the evidence given by some of you (and some who are no longer here), I changed my position.Originally posted by Phillip:

In his mind, he thought he would convert everybody to KJVO only, because to him it was clear, but he is dealing with people who are more educated on the subject matter.
This is not to be demeaning, but I find that most KJVOs are weak in their understanding of Bible history and translation. He thought we would all convert and when we didn't, he lost his only argument.![]()
JW and MVs omitted, added and changed any doctrine of Bible. They are almost the same. They are "common" bible versions.Originally posted by Scott J:

First of all, there isn't a single major Christian doctrine affected by the modern versions in light of the teaching of Scripture *as a whole.* Not a one.Originally posted by Askjo:

Secondly, if you want to play the "modern versions are like the JW Bible" game, it can also be played with the KJV. Consider these examples from the KJV and the NWT (the JW Bible) --
John 14:14 -- Denial of the deity of Christ by denial of prayer to Christ
KJV If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
NWT If YOU ask anything in my name, I will do it.
NASB "If you ask *Me* anything in My name, I will do it."
NIV You may ask *me* for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Romans 8:26 -- Denial of the personality of the Holy Spirit by use of impersonal pronoun with reference to the Holy Spirit
KJV ...but the Spirit *itself* maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
NWT ...but the spirit *itself* pleads for us with groanings yet unuttered.
NASB ...the Spirit *Himself* intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
NIV ...but the Spirit *himself* intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
Titus 2:13 -- Denial of the divinity of Christ by separating "God" and "Saviour"
KJV ...the glorious appearing of *the great God* and *our Saviour* Jesus Christ
NWT ...and glorious manifestation of *the great God* and of *our Savior Christ Jesus*
NASB ...the appearing of the glory of *our great God and Savior*, Christ Jesus;
NIV ...the glorious appearing of *our great God and Savior*, Jesus Christ,
2 Peter 1:1 -- Denial of the divinity of Christ by separating "God" and "Saviour"
KJV ...through the righteousness of *God* and *our Saviour* Jesus Christ
NWT ...by the righteousness of our *God* and *[the] Savior* Jesus Christ
NASB ...by the righteousness of *our God and Savior*, Jesus Christ:
NIV ...through the righteousness of *our God and Savior* Jesus Christ
And so on. You see how it goes.
