So if a person is biblically orthodox -- that presents a problem for you?!

This is the problem with biblical orthodoxy.
The context of my statement in this thread, was that if someone was found to have his belief’s [sic]back in the 1600's & 1700's: That person would have been called a heretic.
This was to demonstrate how standards, are constantly changing.
“Should the discoveries be silenced?! Are you afraid of facts?”
I don’t have to dishonor these two men.“Yes, we had translations of God's Word before the advent of W&H. But it is nonsensical in the extreme to say that the reason they did all their hard work was to cast doubt on God's Word. You are being absurd and dishonoring to two biblical scholars to whom we owe a great debt.”
Yes it does; i.e. literal“I guess that's a sample of your hermeneutical principle.”
“Well, since you want to slam BB Warfield, no wonder you'd try your best to demean W&H too.”

Have you seen the kind of “Christians” they were?!?
I don’t want to slam anybody.
It’s just that they need to be slammed!

It certainly does!
Orthodox meaning, “Approved by the people”.

I is interesting then a people fight over which bible to use. Actually it is foolish. The Original manuscriptes are in hebrew aramic and script are found in the dead sea roles. So no bible is going to be 100 percent right. Because all men error even translators. We go by the spirit of the word and not the writen word. Translations works by the spirit of the word also, thus a translator makes a call as to what word best reflects the spirit of the original document to get the point across.
The KJV of the bible is not better or worst then any other bible version. As long as the spirit of the original is maintained in the translation. The American bible is a very good bible. The NKJV is a very good bible. But there are some forms are that are not as good. The Mormon version of the bible is a joke.
A greater understanding is when people are pushing the KJV only they are unbalanced and with out understanding. The JKV is not a very good translation and does not fit today very well because people do not speak like that anymore. Now 3oo years ago it was a good bible people could understand it. But lets say a young person was trying to read the JKV well he would be lost for the most part. Thy, thow Them and Thus. So Let me get this right lets give them the word of God that they can't read. Sounds stupid right and it is.
The catholic church keep the word of God out of the hands of the people for 1300 years. Shall be come the new catholic church, I think not.
Is there a difference in thou shall not and you shall not. No not really both mean the same thing, Don't do that. Is there a differentence in the spirit of those two ways of saying it. No.
Legalisem is to try and make something more then it is. The bible is surely the word of God. But God is not a legalist, he is spirit and his word is spirit. So the writens word is endowed with the spirit of God. God is not a english God and he is not a American God and he is not Hebrew, his spirit transends all that and he effects his word not us. So read the bible God puts on yur spirit to read and he will speak through it.
Wow! Someone have a modern English translation for this post?
Rippon, you crack me up! You get upset at what someone is posting, then you proceed to do the very thing you got upset with them for! :laugh::laugh:
Have you ever known of any reader of the KJV aloud to alert the listening audience that a particular word just spoken was italicized?One feature of the KJV, is it’s italicized words:
(When it adds even one word to the Bible, it lets us know about it.) ...
I have heard it many times and do it myself.Have you ever known of any reader of the KJV aloud to alert the listening audience that a particular word just spoken was italicized?
Orthodox: (Adhering to what is commonly accepted, customary, or traditional.)
Like I said, “Approved of by man”!

Every one of God’s men in the Bible, along with the Lord Jesus Himself, were all as unorthodox as could be:
