Peace and love to you all in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour!
First I would like to say, that many on these posts are only quoting part of what I have said and believe concerning the KJV and God's preserved word. For those of you who desire/care to know what I really said and believe, please go and read my previous posts. I believe that "IF" the modern versions of the Bible were based on reliable texts, and translated in the right manner, that they also would be Gods unaltered and pure word of God (and would also agree with the KJV). I cannot say that however, for the facts and evidence prove/show otherwise. I do not limit God with his ability to preserve his word, but I do acknowledge and realize that God would not "market" his word. How many different modern versions of God's word are available today in the english language? Do we really need so many different versions in the same language? Does this seem consistent with how God has preserved his word in the past? NO it does not. The church has always had his preserved word and all of it (contrary to what you say and believe Larry) in their own language as represented in one text or version of their language, unless it has been corrupted/altered. The Lord Jesus Christ said this about his word:
Matthew 4:4
4 But he answered and said, It is written,MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD. (notice here that Jesus said "EVERY WORD")
Luke 11:28
But he said, Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. (remember it, take it to heart and do it)
John
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your rememberance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
These are just but a few of the many scriptures that confirm how very imporant the word of God is, and how God has promised to preserve his word of truth. When the Lord says something, he means what he says, for he is faithful and true. To say that God has kept hidden the words of God from those who are his, and who have the Holy Ghost indwelling their hearts, is denying this wonderful truth and promise of our Almighty God and Savior and basically calling him a liar.
May our Heavenly Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ bless you richly with this wonderful truth.
love in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour,
