It’s a shame you didn’t learn respect for God’s Word when reading your Bible.
Makes me wonder if you understood what you read.

The translators of the KJV respected the Word of God when they encountered it.

Now to the latter we answer that we do not deny--nay, we affirm and avow--that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English set forth by men of our profession (for we have seen none of theirs of the whole Bible as yet) containeth the word of God, nay, is the word of God: as the king's speech which he uttered in Parliament, being translated into French, Dutch, Italian, and Latin, is still the king's speech, though it be not interpreted by every translator with the like grace, nor peradventure so fitly for phrase, nor so expressly for sense, everywhere. For it is confessed that things are to take their denomination of the greater part; and a natural man could say, Verum ubi multa nitent in carmine, non ego paucis offendar maculis, etc. --a man may be counted a virtuous man, though he have made many slips in his life (else there were none virtuous, for in many things we offend all) [James 3:2]; also a comely man and lovely, though he have some warts upon his hand; yea, not only freckles upon his face, but also scars. No cause therefore why the word translated should be denied to be the word, or forbidden to be current, notwithstanding that some imperfections and blemishes may be noted in the setting forth of it.

Greetings,

I am sorry you feel that way, but to accuse me of not having respect for God's word is false.
I have the most respect for the Lord's Word via the KJV......and none other.
To stand against false interpretations is not a criminal offense in the eyes of the Lord. I did my comparisons and found the other's terribly wanting.
And no one so far has been able to prove to me otherwise.

I stand upon the truth, and shall not be moved.

The Lord bless you.....

I am not confused, I know what the Lord expects of me, and not to accept false accusation's.

Eph 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Eph 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Eph 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Eph 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

The truth will always offend, and bring division, because the Truth must be defended always, no matter what the resistance.
I buy the truth at all costs, and do not sell it......no matter what the cost......

The Lord bless you

Does there have to be another King James to update it. That's not to be counted on. When a King of England leaves a bad reputation, no future king wants to use his name. Thus, there has been King John since the only one in 1215; no Richard since Rickard III in 1485; no Henry since Henry VIII in 1547. James II, 1682-1685, tried to make England officially Catholic again, and was ousted.

And no one, no matter how much textual evidence is presented, will convince you otherwise.

For example, the KJV use of “Jehovah” for the name of God, instead of “Yahweh” is a clear misunderstanding of the text.

Biblical Hebrew has no vowel points. The pronunciation was simply remembered. The consonants “YHVH” were in the text. But since the name of God “Yahweh” was only to be spoken once a year by the high priest, everyone reading the text understood to say “Lord”, instead of “Yahweh” when they came to His name.

Jewish scholars developed a pointed vowel system about the third century. Instead of placing the vowels for “Yahweh” around “YHVH”, they put the vowels for “Lord” as a reminder not to say the name of God.

The KJV scholars didn’t understand what had happened and applied the vowels for Lord to the name of God “Yahweh”, and came up with “Jehovah.”

I’ve explained this many times to KJVO folks, which is immediately dismissed as “God wanted English speaking people to call Him, “Jehovah”.

peace to you

Which is fine, ignorant, but fine. But don't push that on others because the KJV is not the only English translation. And yes, it was a HIGH disrespect for God and His Word to throw Bibles that are reputable in the garbage.

Well there you go, Bible Society is totally ecumenical......so they would care less about "truth".

That may not be the case regarding truth. But a different view of what is true could very well be at issue.

It's something called "The Holy Scriptures Bible Society", registered in Colorado but headquarters is in Mongolia!

(pdf) Articles of Incorporation, The Holy Scriptures Bible Society

It's recruiting at The Gospel Coalition, and the SBC's seminary in California, for people to work on it.

Yes, we can be assured that the "new" version shall be corrupted. Since Masonic influences have full control of both of the TGC, and the SBC organizations.


Mat_7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat_7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat_7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat_12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.


Thanks for the info.

The Lord bless you,

There have been a number of such efforts.
This one argues, ". . . To date, a satisfactory and definitive modern KJV has not been found to exist. The New King James Version is not a strict update of the KJV, for it was re-translated from the original languages and differs from the KJV in places. . . ."

Which one was a high-quality update into modern English that does not change the meaning of the KJV's translation?
