KJVo Refuse to Answer
- Thread starter Phillip
- Start date
The biggest defense mechanism I see all of the time is often used by some of the biggest criminals.
Just ask Robycop3, I bet he will tell you the same thing.
When you run out of excuses and answers, you start turning yourself into the "victim". How many wife-beaters has Robycop3 seen that will cry and say "But, she made me do it, she was so mean to me, I just had to punch her out to shut her up, blah, blah, blah."
I am not pointing any fingers, but I do notice that some with the strong KJVo position will start whining that we are treating them so badly. ---right after they said that our ESV comes from evil Alexandrian documents, from evil Alexandria, blah, blah, blah.
Let's just remember -- this Holiday Season and this CHRISTmas, that Jesus' family went to Egypt to escape tyranny and as the Old Testament predicted, the Messiah will come out of Egypt. If it is good enough for Him. . .

If I offended any of the KJVOnly sect who believe that the KJV existed before it was written in 1611 CE AND that they cannot give one revision of the AV that is the single, perfect, exact Word for Word by calling them LIARS, I've been reminded that this is a harsh term for a moderator to use.
I agree that it is a harsh term. No apology, of course. Still waiting for an answer.

Any of the English Bibles from the Receptus family of text.
Either one them.Differnces between editions do not an big deal make..
See,thats not hard.. </font>[/QUOTE]Then there are not "letter for letter perfect" as we have been told.
See, it is that hard.
The issue you raise is not the one being addressed here. We have been told that the KJV is was the Bible before 1611 and that it is "letter for letter perfect." If it is than even one letter makes it imperfect.
I can agree with your point, allowing me to accept the NKJV as valid and accurate.

It was a KJVO who made the "letter for letter claim. So maybe it was a red herring cast by someone who wouldn't know the Word of God if it was thrown at them.

BTW, Slambo - I am a strong KJV advocate, but I will not claim it existed BEFORE 1611 or that any edition is "letter for letter" perfect as has been claimed.
God did not write the Bible in English - full stop (period, for our American readers
).

I only oppose claims like the one made earlier, that God gave us a letter for letter perfect English Bible that existed before it was translate.
Read back over my posts carefully. The hyper-KJV arguement hurts my pro-KJV stand, that is why I oppose it so strongly.
We have been told in this thread that the KJV IS the word of God which is settled forever in heaven.

1. What was the word-for-word, letter-for-letter perfect English Bible in 1605?
Slambo:Any of the English Bibles from the Receptus family of text.
Which edition of the TR? There are umpteen of them.
quote: 2. Which version of the KJV is word-for-word, letter-for-letter perfect?
Either one them.Differnces between editions do not an big deal make..
And neither do the differences between valid versions.

Slambo, you might want to read Bob's definitions for KJVo in one of the top threads of this section.
There is a big difference between being a KJVo simply because a person feels that its underlying texts are better than other underlying texts.
However, when you do this, you must admit that the NKJV is also acceptable since it is definitely a TR translation. . . even more so than the KJV, which relied on the Vulgate to fill in certain areas.

You would be lying again.
You see, no where did I say the KJV is NOT the Word of God. It is. I am not attacking the Bible, just the liars.
You would be attacking the Word of God in other versions, so it would be clipped. And you would probably get suspended.
Go ahead, make my day . .
