I don't think so! You are ridiculed because many people don't know how else to respond to statements they regard as preposterous. I have taken several upper division courses in argumentation and debate, and in persuasion; and I sometimes have difficulty refraining from ridicule. When you have made sound statements on KJVO threads you have received likes even from those who usually disagree with you.
It is precisely because you have contempt for Strong's that you made this ignorant remark:
Why is it an ignorant remark? Because God Himself -- the Holy Spirit -- through Paul calls the Scriptures, "the HOLY SCRIPTURES".
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (2 Tim 3:15).

"For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?” (John 5:46-47)
Again, they didn't believe the scriptures not did they believe the words of Jesus which are now scripture for us. Let's not follow after their example.

Again, they were reading the scriptures and didn't understand them, yet they rejected the one who could give them understanding. The point is, Jesus is not the scriptures. The scriptures explain/witness about Jesus who is the word of God. IOW, everybody can read the scriptures but not everyone can understand them, only those that God will explain to will understand.
This is what started this facet of the discussion. Jesus did not rebuke the Pharisees in John 5:39 for comparing them to Himself.
I would agree with this statement since there is a difference between the written "word of God" and the "Word of God" (John 1:1); thus Hebrews 4:12 applies to the written word of God.

Respectfully, the Bible speaks of "holy", "unholy", "clean" and "unclean". There are more than just two categories.
Otherwise, I agree... the Bible is "holy".

Something's either holy or it's not. If it's not, then it's unholy. That's what the prefix means.
Ergo the Bible is holy.
Have you ever noticed how the bible divides things in two's? Example: light vs. dark, good vs bad, virtuous woman vs the harlot woman, The Rock vs the rock, the vine of Christ vs the vine of Sodom... this goes on and on like this. There are no "grey" areas, it's cut and dry one or the other.
To say there are many versions of the bible goes against the core teaching of the bible doesn't it?
