Revelation 6:8 interpretation

[HeirofSalvation]

I have the KJV and use it from time to time. To each his own. Nothing wrong with the translation.

Charming but previously you said.......

Quote:
Then why rely on the KJV? Its an older translation and one not using the latest and greatest manuscript evidences.

But why is your opinion better than that of scholars and PHD's whom disagree with you? Whats your educational background?

I will try this:
1.) I did not suggest MY opinion was better than your scholars, in fact I (very intentionally) said your statement might send "some people" through the roof so as to render it more general and not personally about my view. But whatever, they are just words.
2.) Consider the possibility that there are similarly "scholars with PHD's" who would disagree with your "scholars with PHD's"? Might I have been refering to some of those? Either way, it is an informal logical fallacy to argue from authority like this.
3.) Inasmuch as sheer accuracy is concerned....the AGE means nil.

Whats your educational background?

One of these days...this question is going to blow up in your face. It happened to me once.....I have never asked it in that manner since. :thumbs:

 

[evangelist6589]

Nothing wrong with the KJV in turns of theological truths. However for accuracy and a better translation more reflective on the originals I'd refer to the ESV, NIV, or the NKJV. I know that we are not going to agree on this matter so lets just agree to disagree.
