Was the NT written in Greek? Why Greek? Wow, I guess it would stink if you didn't speak Greek
Yeah, haha. I have heard it said that Greek is the Christian's modern day "tongues", none of the Christians are running off to learn any of the other languages to share the gospel of God. But, Greek, to what? rely on the teaching of the Holy Spirit in their own language, nope.
This is exactly what work out your own salvation with "fear and trembling" is all about, lean not on your own understanding.
What I know is what God's word says about Egypt. Egypt is put in a negative light throughout Scripture, usually a type of worldly things. A friend sent me this a while back concerning Alexandria and Egypt. Knowing what God's word has said about Alexandria and Egypt, why would any believer trust the manuscripts coming from Alexandria?
1. Egypt is first mentioned in connection with Abraham not trusting Egyptians around his wife (Gen. 12:10-13).
2. One of the greatest types of Christ in the Bible was sold into Egypt as a slave (Gen. 37:36).
3. Joseph did not want his bones left in Egypt (Gen. 50:25).
4. God killed all the firstborn of Egypt (Exo. 12:12).
5. God calls Egypt "the house of bondage" (Exo. 20:4).
6. God calls Egypt an "iron furnace" (Deu. 4:20).
7. The Kings of Israel were even forbidden to get horses from Egypt (Deu. 17:16), so why should we look there for a Bible?
8. The Jews were forbidden to go to Egypt for help (Jer. 42:13-19).
9. God plans to punish Egypt (Jer. 46:25).
10. God calls His Son out of Egypt (Hos. 11:1; Mat. 2:15).
11. Egypt is placed in the same category as Sodom (Rev. 11:8).
12. The first time Alexandria is mentioned in the Bible, it is associated with unbelievers, persecution, and the eventual death of Stephen (Acts 6:9; 7:54-60).
13. The next mention of Alexandria involves a lost preacher who has to be set straight on his doctrine (Acts 18:24-26).
14. The last two times we read about Alexandria is in Acts 27:6 and Acts 28:11. Here we learn that Paul was carried to his eventual death in Rome by two ships from Alexandria .

I didn't say that. This shows the purification process into a perfect English Bible. Btw, where are the original autographs? God allowed Moses to destroy the original Ten Commandments written by His own hand. How much emphasis did God place on His originals? God knew He could preserve a copy of what He gave to Moses and that's what He did.

Friend ..its not even debatable ...King James was very ungodly and probably a homosexual? But again the quality of the translation is not based on James or his crew that was trying to uphold the church of England ... Tyndale wrote most of what the KJV claimed and was without doubt a true man of God.
Dodge. I clearly showed that your logic is faulty with one question, and you don't accept it.
You overlooked the 'as' in verse 6. It is a simile. You also have overlooked the fact that at least one of the pre-KJV versions had several revisions, so your numbers don't add up. Friend, it's time to admit that you are incorrect.
Read the KJV if you want; I don't think anyone will fault you for that. But please, don't use silly arguments to "prove" that the KJV stands above.

that would the the word, spoken in the hearing ^
it doesn't say "faith comes by reading, and reading by the writing" in the KJV does it?
hahaha
no one comes who isn't drawn by Him, to know Him and His Son is life - and no one knows Him except who the SOin has chosen to reveal Him to.
so the only way i know of Him is because He drew me, spoke to me, and gave me ears to hear, and that He Himself told me of Him.

The bible is for saved persons, not necessarily soul salvation. The bible is for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness of the saints... now the question stands, how will we walk, how will we work, free will choice is at hand. When it comes to the doctrine and the edification process, who will do the will of the Father. How do you follow the blueprints for your house, without the king james bible, it is impossible. Inspired words, preserved arrangement.

Its a translation from the Greek of Gods Word... Its a good translation and Tyndale who is responsible was clearly a godly man who suffered and died to give us a good translation of Gods Word from the Greek text available att. If you want to be irrational about the 1611 version (revised 8 times) then who can make you think in a rational way? But the fact is that the KJV has some clear errors ..VERY CLEAR errors ... even after all these revisions.
