King James only question

[glfredrick]

Hello franklinmonroe

You asked........


I think I know what your talking about: I am aware that both Jesus and the Apostles, quoted from the LXX several times.

My explanation of this is that Greek was the common language for that time(even in Synagogues), therefore Jesus would quote from it, because it was the language that his hearers were used to.
--------------------------------------------------
In fact, this in itself, answers another attack upon the KJB.

Some have said, that the KJB should not be considered God’s inspired Word, because it is a “translation”.
But Jesus shoots holes in this argument, because He Himself, saw a translation as inspired.

But, does this not raise equal questions as to the validity of just ONE inspired translation? Obviously, if Jesus saw the LXX as an "inspired version" He would be correct, right? And the LXX was neither the TR nor the KJV...

No, not at all.
Your comparing apples and oranges. Because the LXX and the Masoretic Text are two different languages.

The KJB and all the MV’s are the same language.
--------------------------------------------------
The idea of one person, using two or more English translations, causes more confusion.
Because one version says one thing, and another will say something else.

It’s left up to the reader, to decided which one he is going to believe.

God, is not the author of confusion.

Huh? Does not compute...
