There's an equal chance, Salty, they've shown you but you won't accept it.
Why give the KJVO so much flack?
If they go crazy with it just tell them to shut up.
And its this kind of attitude in your post that really irks me. You seem flippant with those who disagree with you. You may not be, but that is what I sense in your posts.
You are willing to die on a hill that is no bigger than a mole hill at best, and an ant hill at worse. You have no verifiable proof the composers of the KJV were inspired by God as they brought that great translation into being in 1611. You can say you have faith they did that very thing. However, I can also have faith, be dogmatic, unwilling to budge from my belief that Jesus wanted to go to the moon and Santa Claus swooped in with his Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer led sleigh, and took Jesus to the moon. My faith, my dogmaticism will not change the fact that that very thing did not happen. I can believe it in my heart of hearts, but my belief will not make that a reality.
Same with your belief in the inspired KJV. You can have faith in you assertions, but it doesn't sway reality.
Because they can lead weaker believers astray with this Tomfoolery.
Your post above should tell you why I seem "flippant" on the KJV.
Your hate for anyone who believes in the KJV is very obvious.
There's something bad wrong with that, but nothing I can do but be "flippant."
You or no other KJV hater can prove it's tomfoolery.
It cuts like a knife through your soul for someone to be so attached to the Word of God.
Your accusation of me having hatred for anyone who believes in the KJV is patently false. I love those who love the KJV, even those who hold to it being inspired. My pastor used to be KJVO (before I met him), and he preaches from it, and a few times he has quoted another version, but 99.9% of the time, he preaches from the KJV. I don't cringe whenever he, or anyone else, quotes from the KJV. He is my fishing buddy as well. And I'd take a bullet for him if need be.
When something such as the KJV editors being inspired is being taught, that is Tomfoolery my friend. You cannot prove it as a reality.
That's right. Those who hold to the KJVO Tomfoolery prove it for us. All we have to do is engage them, and then set back and watch them push others from the KJVO position. And again, we are not KJV haters, stop slinging false accusations at us, k?
Because of (so called) preachers like Steve Anderson and Jack Hyles!
"If you're trying to win English-speaking people to Christ, you MUST use the King James Bible if you want folks to be truly saved."
