[Dino246]

Nope, God's word was being preserved. It was completed in 1611. Btw, it was called the dark ages...

No, the "Dark Ages" ended with the beginning of the Renaissance, roughly 1400-1450.

The "completion" of God's preservation of His word... that's an interesting concept with absolutely no Biblical support.

 

[Dino246]

Can you cite chapter and verse for any of these?

1. "Only the originals were inspired by God"

2. "The real words of God are found mixed up with thousands of variant readings in the surviving Greek manuscripts"

3. "No Bible is the perfect words of God; they all have errors in them."

4. "All bible versions, no matter how contradictory and different they might be textually, are the infallible words of God."

I'm still waiting for you to cite chapter and verse to support your belief that God preserves His word in only one translation in any particular language.

Come on, man, step up and answer the question.

The time of King James was preceded by the Elizabethan era. Before that the Tudor period preceded by the Medieval. Before the Medieval were the "Dark Ages". So-called by secular historians, Christianity spread across Europe, The British Isles and Ireland in that era. Missions & monasteries were plentiful at that time. Christian art & education flourished. All centuries before the KJV came along.

You're dodging. Please answer my question directly.

Sadly his happens far to often

I asked first, and nice again, why are you dodging

I have never made a claim about one version in one language 1600 years later you do.

bible passage please, or you have nothing to offer,

yep, the KJV only cult fits this definition, thank you

I've answered this already, of course, there's no specific verse. That's absurd to claim or even ask for such a verse.

And the bible agnostics...

 

[Dino246]

You did not answer this already. A response is not necessarily an answer.

It's not absurd to ask for a verse from someone who rejects relevant evidence from outside Scripture.

So, I will ask you yet again (because you still haven't answered this)...

WHY do you believe that God preserves His word in only one translation in any particular language?

I believe God has fulfilled his promise to preserve his pure words.

I believe the KJV because of it’s fruit. It lead the way for the largest world wide revival in the history of the world.

I believe the KJV is the word of God because the most godly, soul winning preachers in history were KJV believers.

I believe the KJV is the word of God because it exalts the name of Jesus and his deity more than any other version.

I believe the KJV is the word of God because it is the standard by which all other versions are measured.

I believe the KJV is the word of God because it came in the perfect time in history as God foresaw the explosion of the English language and the use of the printing press.

I believe the KJV is the word of God because it has never been proven in error.

I believe the KJV is the word of God because it uses the most correct form of the English language.

I believe the KJV is the word of God because of the manuscript evidence using the received text that the early believers used.

There are many more reasons, but these are a few. The Holy Spirit has confirmed with my spirit that the KJV is the word of truth.

Thanks. However, you STILL have not answered my question!

 

[eternally-gratefull]

Thanks. However, you STILL have not answered my question!

Has he given the passage of scripture that says God promises to inspire a perfect bible in English 1600 years after John finished revelations yet? Or is he just ignoring all of our questions

 

[Dino246]

Not yet. I think he realizes that he's up against a wall and cannot adequately defend his beliefs.

 

[UCA4J]

Why is that?

Have you read his comments ? My observation is based upon his own comments. I'm not "judging" him.

 

[Lucy-Pevensie]

Yes, I've read his comments. And never have I seen that he has promoted the use of one Bible translation exclusively over all the others.
He did state that he uses the NASB among others including the KJV. Any charge of hypocrisy on this issue doesn't fit.

 

[Lucy-Pevensie]

I think it's good practice to sometimes read from a translation you don't normally use.

 

[Lucy-Pevensie]

I believe the KJV is the word of God because it uses the most correct form of the English language.

Job 15 KJV

26 He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.

 

[UCA4J]

Yes, I've read his comments. And never have I seen that he has promoted the use of one Bible translation exclusively over all the others.

That's your opinion. I have no further comment. 😀

 

[John146]

Of course there’s no verse stating such and to ask is nonsense. We all know that.
