So why didn't you? Why didn't you stop him and tell him that it showed disrespect for God to rip a Bible apart?Originally posted by QuickeningSpirit:
The other day a young man found an nas "v" in an old car he bought at auction, he proceeded to rip the pages out of the book. I stopped him and asked how many times did he tear the name of Jesus ? He stoppped and said that is right, but went on to finish the job of ripping the book to shreds. I guess I could 've hit him or something, but I'm not responsible for his actions, but I do appreciate his zeal for the Truth of God's Word and his willingness to trash all others. I am only responsible to present the Truth, not how others process the Truth. So tell the truth, have I ever said I "fear" other versions? No.
What biblical proof do you have that KJVOnlyism is true or that the NASB is not a valid, accurate version of God's Word. Even the KJV translators said that when God in His providence has seen fit to leave the actual words of a passage in doubt that fear should be preferred rather than certainty. They didn't believe that one should declare one reading the absolute standard over another unless God providentially revealed it by strength of evidence. The differences between the KJV and NASB do not make one the Word and the other not.
What this man did is terrible. Will God hold him blameless for showing this kind of disrespect for the Bible? I doubt it.
I know your knee jerk response QS: That the NASB is not God's Word. So save it this time... instead of giving that worn out unsubstantiated response... prove it.
Prove that the revelation of God is not preserved in the NASB. Show a doctrine provable in the KJV but not in the NASB. The fact is you can't do it. None of you can. You can discuss how the KJV and NASB differ here or there but you cannot prove that they establish different doctrines and truths... because they don't. They are both valid versions of God's Word.
