Why do you think these men you quote are the smartest people in the room? And why do you like to quote the translators of the KJV as if they were chosen by God to do it because of their spiritual acumen and their ability to discern biblical truth? You yourself have raved about their connection to the Anglican church and the false doctrines they espouse as believers of that system. When you present the criticism of them for being Church of England members and believing and practicing what that church teaches and then point out their brilliance for telling us someone else can do their job better when they say this; "In their preface to the 1611 KJV, its translators themselves argued that "variety of translations is profitable for finding the sense of the Scriptures." I hope you are not convinced by that statement that the way to understand spiritual truths is to have dozens of different versions of those words as God's means of teaching us his truths. I am stunned that you believe this. What kind of logic and reasoning is this?
From Gen 15:1 we are introduced to Adonay Jehovah, the word of the LORD, Jesus Christ in the scriptures, the one who gives the word of the Father in heaven a voice among men on the earth. The number of times the lord God is mentioned in the KJV is 13 times and likewise the word of the Lord is there 13 times, a significant number associated over and over with the gentile church.
I have asked you to make a scriptural case for God commissioning men to preserve his word and you have never done it. How could imperfect men preserve the perfect word of God when Jesus himself says the words he speaks are spirit and they are life. The KJV translators as well as you and the friends that you quote ad nauseam are in error when they say that God wants the Bible to be in a format for ease of understanding for all and the way of understanding is to compare translations. The way God says to understand is to compare words.
1 Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
The only part of the scriptures that God wants understood by the unsaved is the gospel of Jesus Christ and his desire to save anyone who will come to him through Christ. He says that plainly. here:
Mr 10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
To those who hear and will not humble themselves as a little child he has a word for them also.
Mt 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
I have quoted from Mt 13 in this thread. We are told Jesus began to speak to Israel in parables here at the end of his earthly ministry and his disciples who had been with him the whole time were surprised and asked him why he was speaking to them in parables. His equally surprising answer is because he had given them ample time to believe him as a little child and now he is speaking in mysteries to hide his truths from them. Time was up for them. He goes on to say that unless one has a divine teacher from within he cannot know these mysteries and they are taught through words that God has chosen. Thus the same words will enlighten some while blinding others depending on the condition of their hearts.
Mr 1:22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
