Actually, Nehemiah was holding meeting at the First Baptist Church of Jerusalem, and he was reading the KJV to the congregation in Elizabethan English (old Scofield Edition by the way), and at the end, they played 22 verses of "Just as I am..."Originally posted by Rocco:
I thought the verse in context means the law was explained and could also mean translating from Aramaic to Hebrew so they could understand the reading. I could be wrong though .
Very probably so. Either way, it is not a very good example to justify mv's. It was the high priest rerading the book of the Law of Moses and the cause had been accomplishedto bring the people to unity in rebuilding the wall. This was a "formal" service by which we characterize our services this day, a time of "celebration" if I may say w/o being accused of being contemporary.Originally posted by Rocco:

And KJVO's don't mock the MV's? Right.Originally posted by Istherenotacause:
It never ceases to amaze me how many mv people like to mock the KJVO's though, seems the reason is to further divide the household of God. I would never make a mockerey when the Spirit is dealing with the hearts of those present, I don't care how many verses of "Just As I Am" we sing. Usually the song leader or preacher changes the song to something else to not be redundant.

I wonder what Pee-Wee Herman has to say about that! Yall aren't related are you? Silly me! Of course you two are, the bowtie is the dead giveaway!Originally posted by Dr. Bob Griffin:
I might wear a bowtie, brother, but you have serious issues that affect thinking skills above the bowtie level. I do counseling at the wife's clinic and would be happy to work you in.![]()
I only charge half-price for BB members!![]()
Of course, I use GOD'S WORD in my counseling, from the New American Standard BIBLE, not some "version".![]()
The Latin Vulgate was the standard for worship and practice for many years (about 1,000 years actually) and the induction of mv's (in the Vulgar tongues rather than Holy, God honoring Latin) did nothing but cause further division... Thank God!!!!Originally posted by Istherenotacause:
The KJB has been the standard for worship and practice for many years and the induction of mv's has done nothing but cause further division.
Have you ever seen in the Bible that souls should be saved by the hard sell techniques of the preacher?Originally posted by Istherenotacause:
If the heart is to be reached, it first must be done through the mind. I have never seen the "heart" gate mentioned anywhere, but I do find the eargate, the eyegate, etc. those "gates" which must be passed before ever gaining access to the heart of a man.
You know, my eight year old engages in this kind of ridiculous overexaggeration in his efforts to try to avoid truth... then again he is 8 so hopefully we can discipline him out of it.If it'll satisfy the mv's. we'll strike "Just As I Am' from the song books and declare Charlotte Elliot a heretic for writing such an outlandish song with the touch of God on it and start singing "bang your head" music to entertain the flesh.

Guess what the KJV translators said in 1604, when they started work on the KJV:Originally posted by Istherenotaclue:
We are not divided over the Bible, but the division is necessary from the apsotate. We know we have the Word of God, so why are yall still guessing? "I like the way the ____ says it best" "Oh, I like that one too, but have you read it in the ____?" "You know, the KJV should have said it like this, "____ __ _____ ________ __ __"
"What does your version say?" "You know, the Greek says,_____"
No we didn't. There was over 100 years between the KJV and the Great Awakening and much more time from earlier versions. State sponsored/controlled/enforced religion remained the rule for almost 200 years after the KJV was made.Originally posted by Istherenotacause:

This is not a case of cause and effect. I could likewise say that since the "induction" of KJVOnlyism the world is sliding ever so speedily into biblical ignorance and apostacy; a darkness much worse.Since the induction of the "new" versions the world is sliding ever so speedily into apostacy; a darkness much worse!
Truth is that KJVOnlyism represents the falling away from sound Bible based doctrine. You have set up an artificial, man-made, divisive doctrine found nowhere in scripture then sanctimoniously declare that you will separate from apostates who dare to disagree with you.We are not divided over the Bible, but the division is necessary from the apsotate.
At any point they cease to be according to the biblical example of God drawing men unto Himself and a man attempting to perform the work of God. Some form of invitation is necessary, either personal or group. But the power is in the preaching of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit to move sinner's to repent- not in 20, 30, or 45 minutes of hymn singing in the background of a preacher's pleading and declaring what he KNOWS about what the Spirit is doing with someone in the audience. Sometimes you are forced to wonder if part of it isn't simply vanity on the part of the preacher... a disbelief that he could preach such a fine message without anyone "walking that aisle."Originally posted by Istherenotacause:

I don't know because if you actually read my post you will see that I didn't. I was simply making a response in the vein of the conversation. Since I have never seen you preach, there is no way for me to know what you do.Who ever said that's the way I give an invitation?
Since your premise is false, your conclusion is also not proven... I have no need to group you. You adequately accomplish that all on your own.You are typical of the one who classifies everyone that doesn't agree with you into that little "group" you adamantly love to put us all in.
I think you statements identify you as disassociated with and uninclined to the truth on this subject.I think your statements identify you as judgemental.
So do we. I didn't say that you shouldn't. Once again, you have read your own biases between the lines of what I actually wrote....we DO invite!
