I watched James White on youtube make mistakes and have documented the mistakes.
The scholars I accept can't make mistakes like that.
In order to be the best, you have to be right on the money.

What do you think about his doctorate degree if his school is unaccredited?
What should we think about your judgment if you are trusting someone who is unaccredited?

WE must be very skeptical of new translations of the bible. Avid atheist have been trying to pervert the scriptures since the 1960's. Say that they will change the meaning of the scriptures in an effort to thwart the the church. Google and search Doctor David Day an Atheist from the 1960's and you will see their motive. The King James is sound and true and proven by the test of time. Most of Modern Protestant churches are founded on the basis of the King James Bible. In an attempt to make the word of God more understandable, men have taken the privilege to change the scripture into modern day words. However, To make a new bible you must change the meaning of the text or its plagiarism which is a crime. But at the same time there are good translations that have know evil intent. The Lord will lead and guide if we ask Him.
It is this blind fanaticism which is another indicator that you are part of a cult. Someone stating they struggle with getting head around 17th century English is not attacking God or the Bible, its a statement of fact that after 500 years English langauge has evolved.
The King James is not perfect. No English version can be any more perfect than the original writings, the King James is a good translation, but not perfect.
Not at all, it is a question which I continually ask as well but never get a conclusive concrete irrefutable reply, at best a few cherry picked verses and claims that simply because its been around for 500 years makes it perfect . No one is trying to discredit the King James, only the cult who think it has some special divine status above all over writings.
I love the King James Bible, I have nothing against it, what I do have an objection to is the Cult of King James Onlyism and its insistence that we should only read that version and anyone who dosn't is not spiritually mature and can not know HOly Spirit or that I they are not enlightened enough for God to reveal the Bible issue, that is utterly disgusting and is something that only a cult would claim.

The KJ is not perfect as it was written by men, However, it is the closet thing to the original manuscripts. But it is the only translation that God moved upon a king to have written. Not to say that others are at fault. I like Young's literal translation. But as for the living and amplified and the NSB or NIV. No likey from me.
First, I didn't state that I trusted him. Second, I said nothing about his accreditation, other than referring to him as "Dr. White." Third, I directed the readers of this thread to his book, which is extensively footnoted. If you don't like him because of his accreditation or his mistakes, fine, but don't blow off the evidence he has collected for those reasons. If you flatly refuse to read the evidence, and just argue against the man, that is intellectual dishonesty.
As to accreditation, Moses, Samuel, David, Ezra, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, John the Baptist, John the Revelator, Matthew, Luke, Apollos, Timothy and Jesus Himself were all "unaccredited" (Paul may have been, as a Pharisee). Accreditation, by itself, is no guarantee of truth, and lack of it is no guarantee of error.

True but in Ancient Hebrew as the Holy Spirit searched there vocabulary and gave them the best words to write. The bible is written by men under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Paul was writing in Greek by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The King James was written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Do you no what a cockatrice is or have you experienced a threshing floor? The Holy Spirit reveals the the Word of God to the Individual. However, There are many translations that lead astray. The King James has stood the test of time and many can say that. The Holy Spirit has thrusted the King James in English speaking coutries as never before or since.
