I believe [therefore it is ultimately a statement and position based in scriptural faith, Hebrews 11:6; Romans 14:23 KJB, though I do have foundational evidences historically and prophetically that strenghthen that faith] that
the King James BIble, that I hold in my hand presently, is the [not 'a'] inspired and the preserved word of God in the
English language, and is the
final authority in
all matters of
Faith and
Practice. I believe it is
without error in its words, according to Psalms 12:6-7; John 10:35; Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4; Matthew 24:35; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33 KJB, etc, even as Christ Jesus Himself, is the word without error, Hebrews 4:15, etc KJB.
The OT is primarily in the singular common Hebrew language [a minor section in the Hebrew offshoot, Syriac/Chaldean of Daniel 2:4b-7:28, and in a few other minor places]. If others wanted to know what JEHOVAH Elohiym had to say they had to learn this language or have it extempore translated to them.
The NT is primarily in the singular Koine or common Greek language [some minor spoken words in syriac/ some call Aramaic, etc].
That the Bible, in its preserved state, on the whole should be in a singular, common and primary language, such as the global English [of England, since it is in Canada, Australia, England, Africa, China and Americas, as in other places also] is actually scriptural, following God's pre-establish pattern of working and dealings with men. It does not mean that God cannot translate His word into other languages [such as the Spanish Purifcada, or even certain edition of the Gomez, etc], as in the books of Acts, etc.
The Bible, whether OT or NT or in toto, has always been in the hands of God's people, though in certain instances, the numbers grew very few indeed, even a remnant.
I do quote, and have quoted on numerous occasions, even in this very forum, from other translations. such as the so-called LXX, the Bishop's, Tyndale, Geneva, Wycliffe, and from the GNT TR and the HOT, and other language texts, such as the German Luther Bibel, the Italian Diodati, and the French Olivetan, etc. and from the Stephanus, Elzivir, etc, and even from the catholic texts, of the Jerome's vulgate, the Douay Rheims, etc and from the eclectic and other text types [alexandrian, such as the Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Alexandrius, etc], Westcott and Horts, and from the USB [United Bibles Society] and the NA [also called NU] [Nestle Alands, and Eberhard Nestles texts] and from the more recent texts of the RV, ASV, ESV, CEV, NIV, NKJV, Holman's and from the others such as the KIT [Kingdom Interlinear] and NWT [New World 'Translation'] of the WTS [JW; when necessary when dialoguing with them or for others information,citation], etc., etc.. However, I do believe, that there are issues with each of these in its words, examples upon request.
As stated previously, to you, in charity [1 Corinthians 13 KJB], I have read Benjamin G. Wilkinson's works, both on the common Bible, aka the King James Bible,
I pray that this thread is
not about Benjamin G. Wilkinson
personally, but we can look at evidence and facts in
textual matters?
I will recommend to all, the following helpful sources, which contains many sources, and if any would like to add to my sources, let me know, by posting them, and I will consider them for addition if worthy -

As I stated before on several occasions, I believe you have a misunderstanding about my present position, but since you seem to be itching on this subject and desire most vehemently on having this discussion, so be it.
I apologize, but my responses may not always be swift in this, as recently my internet connection seems to be getting worse, I am piggybacking a signal about 1/2 mile away, without a router, through a borrowed connection, and therefore, please forgive me, if I am not always able to respond right away, as there are times when this will not work for several days, and currently I am re-routing through a limited phone data connectionm, which will shortly run out on its limit.
You call me a 'cult', fine I accept the label:
Acts 24:14 KJB - But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
Acts 24:5 KJB - For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
My first question to you brother robycop3 is, since I have already provided mine own answer above:
What text or translation [in any language], if any in your position, is the perfect words of God, being without error in its words, being perfectly inspired and preserved by JEHOVAH Elohiym?
My second question to you brother robycop3 is, since I have already provided mine own answer above:
What is your final authority in all matters of faith and practice?, if you have such final authority/ies, please list the singular or multiple source/s.
I do pray that you treat me with the same respect, and answer my questions, even as I answer yours in kind.
May God help us all, here, that His truth may be known, His word be magnified [Psalms 138:2 KJB], and that we submit humbly to His will. In Jesus', my Saviour's, name, Amen.
