    Hum....it seems i have failed to read into C4ks question. Should we, Yes if We believe it it word perfect, no if we dont. it is that simple.because of the fact that C4K doesn't believe that we do have Gods perfect words in English we have no business translating out of english therfore as I said before it makes this argument futile.However since this thead was for "KJVO"s like me,I have only seen one or two that have agreed with me.

    az - I failed to read carefully your initial post title "for KJVO's like me".

    I will step aside from this discussion. You have the absolute right on this forum to restrict a thread to a particular group.

    I apologize.

    Won't you please, please tell us which specific edition of the KJV is perfectly, word for word, letter for letter perfect so that we can KNOW which edition is worth using for translation work. Only ONE can be perfectly perfect.Please be honest and share with us where we can find it. If you have it and know it you are doing us a disservice by not telling us which KJV to use.

    It may be that I am attempting to incite study upon yalls part to make a determination as to which "revision" is perfect."much study is weariness to the flesh" SO PRACTICE!

    Would it be wrong for me to just draw straws for it?

    Pro 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

    Above Spanish translation re-translated back into English:
    My point is this, if I want Christians in other nations to know the Word of God as I know it, then our translations must come from a common source so they all say the same thing.

    Pastor Bob,Where did you get this translation???
    It is in no way a correct translation.Whoever did this does not have a command of either of the two languages. examples forthcoming....

    at this point let us only address this,English paragraph:

    quote:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Hello, my name is Pastor Bob. This is a very important question to consider. Is it permissible to translate the Bible from another translation or is it necessary to refer back to the original languages? I believe that problems would arise unless the translations all originate from the same source. Otherwise, it would not take long for translations to imerge that are very much different.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Above paragraph translated into Spanish:

Creo que se presentarían los problemas a menos que sean las traducciones originen de la misma fuente. Si no, no duraría para la traducción al imerge que es mucho diferente.

    Good,because a computer never will translate everthing corectly due in part to the fact that a computer can not reason or decide context,i wish it were that easy, how ever do i explain why this is true using the above example?

    I believe I have a pretty good command of the English language. The fact remains that substance will be lost in the translation process unless each work is translated from the same source texts.

    I have my popcorn! I have a very rudimentary knowledge of Spanish, and when I saw what Pastor Bob tried to illustrate, it just didn't seem entirely correct. This WILL be fun to see a man who knows both languages explain the problems as illustrated by our friend Pastor Bob.

    Go for it AZguitarist!

    In HIS service;
    Jim

    If you are basing your belief on the altavista {mis}translation you have no grounds to stand on.
