Scriptural proofs for KJVOnlyism

Should be a short thread.

 

There is none that I know of,it has to do with manuscript evedence and just plain common sense.You see, your problem is that you are being so "scriptural" that you are un-scriptural.. Just because it is not in scripture doesn't make it wrong;however bible mutilation IS in the scriptures(Jeremiah 36) and it IS wrong..

 

Exactly, It all comes to common sense;no problem telling the thruth.I know of any.But why attact just the KJB? What is it about that book that people hate? I know, it is Hebrews 4:12..and having ONE final authority in ALL matters of faith and practice.."KJVO" is just a mask for the above..

 

So, if it is not scriptural, what is my final authority if I want to know what the final authority is? Your personal "common sense"? Why should I believe you?

 

Well,before I answer your question let me ask you a question,where,when,and why did you loose faith in the KJV?? But to answer your query, I dont know of any verse.So what??

 

What makes your sense "common" and why do the vast majority of believers in church history not have this "common sense"? Why your "common sense" contradict my common sense?

And why have you taken such a strong stand on something you admit is not in Scripture but is based on "common sense" that people with far more knowledge than you and I have rejected? How much "common sense" is it when you tell the people who know what they are talking about that they do not know what they are talking about?

If two or three doctors told you you had cancer and your neighbor who is an auto mechanic tells you you don't, which does "common sense" dictate that you listen to?

 

How can you or anybody else make such a claim when the originals are gone????

 

But still, to claim to be closest to the originals is dishonest,having NEVER seen them!!!

 

Just because it is not in scripture doesn't make it wrong

I'll have to remember you said that when someone blasts the Catholics for something they do that's not in the scriptures.

 

I will answer your questions. However, I know perfectly well that my answers would never satisfy you nor anyone else that is a believer in modern versions. Thus, I am responding, not for your benefit, but for the benefit of those that are searching for the truth.

Whenever I compare modern versions to the King James Bible and point out the many words and verses that are missing from the modern versions, many of you have constantly replied with, "they are not missing from the modern versions but they have been added to the King James Bible." Or many have said, "what gives you the right to say that the King James Bible is the standard by which all other bibles are judged?"

I believe that the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Old Testament) and the Greek Textus Receptus (New Testament) are the providentially preserved word of God in the original languages. I believe that we have the perfect word of God in the above mentioned original language texts.

I also believe that the King James Bible is the providentially preserved word of God and is the perfect word of God in the English language because it has been faithfully translated from the above mentioned original language texts.

I further believe in comparing apples with apples. I know that all modern versions (including the New King James Bible) have been influenced by the Westcott and Hort textual theory. I also know that Westcott and Hort not only rejected the Textus Receptus but they actually hated it and did everything they could to discredit it. Thus I must reject all modern versions. They are the corrupt fruits of a corrupt tree.

Psalm 12:6,7 is a promise from God to preserve his pure words for all generations. Psalms 19:7-10 gives us certain adjectives to describe God's word; perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, true, righteous altogether, more desirable than gold, sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. Proverbs 30:5 tells us that every word of God is pure.

If the King James Bible is not the perfect word of God then the proclamations and promises found in it are all lies. I have yet to hear a defender of modern versions express belief in their "bibles" as being the perfect word of God.

No they will say something like "God never intended for us to have a perfect Bible" or "the only perfect Bible is the original" Or many have said, "where was the perfect Bible before the King James Bible was translated?" It is like the tempter saying "Yea hath God said?"

I will close with this verse: II Cor. 2:17 - "We are not as many, which corrupt the word of God;"

How can you or anybody else make such a claim when the originals are gone???? </font>[/QUOTE]Have you ever played the game where you sit in a circle and the first person whispers something in the ear of the person next to them and it gets passed around to the end?? IT often has very funny conclusions. That is the principle at work here. The more generations of copying something has gone through, the more likely it is that errors were introduced, inadvertantly to be sure, but errors nonetheless.

IT might also be easily illustrated by the rumors that often get spread. It goes like this. Person A tell you that person B said something. PERson B says it came from person C. Person C from person D. So you trace it back and find out that person D actually said something very different but the transmission of it introduced inadvertant corruption.

We see this principle at work everyday in life.

When did you stop beating your wife?

 

Reading through your post, I didn't see any scriptural proof that the KJV alone is the word of God. Did you misunderstand the question or just ignore it??
