What about a sustained attack on The Bible itself? A constant barrage of disinformation, falsehood and misuse of scripture to attack other Christians who read the Bible. The irrational claim that the Bible isn't the Bible? That it is full of lies. Is that not offensive?

It's certainly meant to be.







































They can insult us and KJV1611 turns the other cheek and says nary a word. Its odd he has 1611 in his username and uses the 1769. :rolleyes:

If God is outside of time, how is there a "before" the incarnation to God? The word before only applies to people living in space time, those things don't apply to God, God just is.... the relationship between the Father and the Son just is.
OK... in that case "today I begotten you" is from eternity :)

So the only difference will be if it means His physical body or not.

This has nothing to do with the KJV, this is common sense. The point I'm making is that Jesus was begotten by God in birth. Or to put it as you put it earlier, Jesus was begotten by God in his resurrection.

If I'm not mistaken, you guys say that "This day have I begotten thee" means that Jesus came out God in eternity past. Which is it, was Jesus begotten by God in eternity past or at the resurrection?
Uhm, now I am confused again... you just said that God is not in our time, so these terms cannot be put in one point in time, but just "are".

The Authorized Version has authority over everyone and everything.
Can you show some link or connection between me and English monarchy so that I should be bound by their authorizations?

Hm, it would be too large :) Also I cannot speak for lets say Chinese, I can speak for myself - being under the Austrian monarchy in those times.
Yes, partly my point!
Incidentally, I am of English descent with relatives who were actually clergy in the Anglican Church! And while I like the KJV I feel absolutely no "obligation" to use it.
I am no monarchist - my King, if you like is Jesus Christ, I recognise no other.
In any case an authorisation is nothing more than a recommendation, not a command...

This sentence reveals your true position: the KJV has become, for you, an idol, That Which Cannot Be Questioned.

I appreciate you reposting the truth I present concerning the corruption in modern bible versions.
I would think that some of you, claiming offense, would present evidence that corruption doesn’t exist as I testify does indeed exist in modern versions.
All I get is whiny responses as if folks ought to accept modern heathen scholarship with nary a complaint. And claims of being great wits in Greek and Hebrew, but not a shred of competence in plain English.

Who really accepts an argument such as, that Christians ought to think all scripture is ridden with error, so accept the modern bibles as the best scholars can produce.

And the other silly illogical reasoning all based on unbelief of scripture bring valid. Like; believe the oldest, the most modern, the easy to read, the not quite in line with suppositions of scholars about originals no one possesses.

You telling me you don’t see the convenience of such flimsy arguments for turning readers away from the Authorized.

I learned long ago that atheists and other unbelieving folk only attack the true and authorized written word of God. No one really cares about all the phony modern bibles.

I just have to say that growing up I was introduced to the KJV...
Flat out faith in Jesus didnt come from the Bible then nor does it now for me. ( It comes from Him working in my life and our personal relationship)
It came from others sharing the love of Jesus Christ with me. Of hearing of creation and God's miracles in the OT.

What do you think is the first thing a non believer sees when they come on CC? Is it a version of the Bible? Nope...its the love and attitude they see in you and I....what are you portraying? How long will they stick around to hear His word?
Feigning love on a web site is easy. It fools some people.

There are a lot of comfort zones modern church folk seek and find as they stumble down the broad way through the wide gate to destruction. Modern bibles are comfy.
But truth is divisive, hard, sharp, pointed and brutally unavoidable.

You are clearly not bound to the authorized scriptures.
And, that’s because you are free to go read corrupt bibles as pleases you. No excuse is required of you and none given you.

The Authorized Version is authorized by God in the scriptural manner God specifies in scripture. It is for the common man and is found in many languages.

But, corrupt bibles are numerous and for sale with helps everywhere. So, be happy reading them as long as you can. But, when you present quotes of them contrary to the truth in the Authorized they will be shown to be corrupt. There is no escaping correction, reproving and rebuke by the true scriptures of God.

You forgot about the rest of the globe...
God hasn’t forgotten the lost. The great tribulation is coming to spread the truth to the four corners of the earth, to all nations, then the end will come.

When folks wake up and find no oil in their lamps they won’t have time to go buy phony bibles to figure out where they went wrong.

Such boasting will not help you escape truth.

Accuse as you must. You can’t escape the truth of God found written plainly for all to read in the Authorized Version.

I am long past caring what you say, as you no longer have any credibility.

KJV was not authorized by God, but by English king, only.

Let’s face facts shall we?
You lovers of modern bibles know very well they can’t stand up to scrutiny. It is obviated by your responses enmasse that you’ll discuss any thing other than scripture in plain English. And even pretending to be unlovingly offended doesn’t goad you all into taking a close look at all the specious arguments used by modern bible version readers to avoid accepting the truth of the authority and power God has instilled in the Authorized Version of the Holy Bible.

If you want the Holy Ghost to help you, you’re going to have to submit to the Authorized Version or you’ll find yourself treading water aimlessly till you sink.

Yet, I see you care. And I know why.
But if you go away from trying to sell readers on reading modern versions, how is that a bad thing. I’m gladdened the fewer the readers of modern bibles there are.
The church can hardly put up with more false doctrines and shallow teaching.

If you believed that you wouldn’t be so concerned about the truth I speak.

You lovers of corruption aren’t fooling anyone.

Do unbelieving atheists ever quit talking about the God of the Authorized Version? No, they don’t and they can’t because of their doubts.

So it is with modern bible readers. Searching here and there fruitlessly.
