Ransom, why don't I start with you. Get a copy of the book the Bible and read it. You fight the KJV issue like it was the only issue in the world. If you spent more time reading God's Word than you do on fighting everyone that loves the KJV you could win hundreds to Christ and your life would be changed.

Again, please note how divisive this line of reasoning is. It implies that one isn't spiritual if they don't read the KJV, and that the KJV is the only version of the Word of God, and that the other brother isn't even a soulwinner or interested in souls. This has been the typical attitude that I have experienced with KJVO peoples. It's wrong and divisive. It causes people to question their salvation, many to fall away and is counterproductive to the cause of Christ.

I personally was a KJV supporter until just recently. Why? Because of many in the KJV camp making statements like you have, implying that the KJV is the only correct version of the Word of God?[Brother Tony]

Dear B.T.~I never knew I belonged to a 'camp' until I started reading these threads-WOW! Just hope it's Confederate! All pickin' aside, the thing that touched me most in your post above is that this sounds exactly like our youngest son, Patrick, who was a Baptist all his life, but somewhere he backslid(even tho' he was an ordained deacon) & went straight into the arms of a "oneness" cult. I guess he's the one who broke the family circle, so to speak. Does this make him right & us wrong?

On a lighter note-we own a Chevy, as opposed to-uh,Ford, but I don't hold it against nobody if that's what they wanna try & drive-heehee!
"Ol'GrannyGumbo is a KJBO, which makes her pretty whack-o!" (I hate dem teef)!

Yes, it is a rather loose association.

[qb]but somewhere he backslid(even tho' he was an ordained deacon) & went straight into the arms of a "oneness" cult.

How is JVO not a "oneness" cult? Actually all Christians are oneness in some way... one Lord, one faith, one hope, one baptism are all scriptural. But then, one person manifesting God, one order of worship, one name for a church, one translation of scripture, are not.

Ever heard this?:

One a hill far away stood an old Chevrolet;
Its fenders all battered and worn.
And I love that old Chevy for the service it gev me,
And I won't trade it in for a Ford!

"Ol'GrannyGumbo is a KJBO, which makes her pretty whack-o!"

This poetry could use some improvement...

Ol' Granny Gumbo-- her ears flap like Dumbo
To hear the Bible quoted in KJV.
But she can hold her taters, for there are no translators
Who can make God's Word less than it should be.

I think this has all gone far enough. The twaddle is now up to our armpits.
