Read again what I wrote and pay particular attention to the word "ONLY".................
In a way they did use the KJV because the KJV is no different than the Old Testament writings. The KJV is just like the New Testament scriptures, it brings more clarity to the things already written about in the Old Testament.
And the Old Testament he used was KJV?Or what translation/edition?
The word of God does not change, the Old Testament word of God is the same word of God found in the KJV. There's only one one word of God.... the translation/edition was the inspired one.
Not really, the Old Testament is one witness the New Testament is the second and the Spirit is the third. Remember the candletick, it is made of ONE beaten piece of gold.
The King James is a translation, transliteration made by false anglican teachers who were contrary to God and his word....they OPENLY ADMITTED that a) they COMPARED WHAT THEY WERE DOING to the FIRST ENGLISH VERSIONS ALREADY IN EXISTANCE, b) Copied almost verbatim the ENGLISH VERSION OF THE O.T. already in existence c) Transilterated words that would offend the HEAD OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH (KING) and d) Contains MANY WORDS mistranslated, changed and or not even given a correct interpretation.......
Now, I use a King Jimmy....but make no mistake....I go to the Greek and Hebrew EVERY TIME I STUDY because ENGLISH FAILS TO CONVEY many verb tenses and nuances that the Hebrew and Greek convey.......
This is NOT TO SAY that the truth CANNOT BE GLEANED from the KJV......
A prime example if found in Galatians chapter 1 and the use of the word ANOTHER <-TRANSLATED ANOTHER TWICE....TWO DIFFERENT GREEK WORDS WITH TWO DIFFERENT MEANINGS....YET TRANSLATED THE SAME.....<--GOD DID NOT INSPIRE THE ENGLISH...HE INSPIRED THE GREEK!
Yes. There are 3 that bear witness. 1 John 5:8. Have to run errands be back later. Also read about the candlestick in exodus... one beaten work.
Why would you think any translation is inspired?
You just cannot bring yourself to consider that other translations are on a par with the KJV and that is the basis for concern that you are acting like a cultist.
How much of the bible must you know to come to a saving knowledge of Christ? How much textual criticism is needed to bring a soul to Christ?
Are you causing weaker brethren to stumble with crusade that you have embarked upon?
For the cause of Christ

I may have misunderstood, then... I thought you weren't into the Spirit giving you understanding of Bible passages.
With other people, does that Spirit do that only with the kjv, or other versions as well?
Having had numerous discussion with King James Onlyists, it is clear they think that they are only ones who have true Holy Spirit, as Holy Spirit only reveals himself to true beleivers and that once you are a mature believer, then Holy Spirit shows you the truth about the King James. Cult written all over it.
This is completely made up from whole cloth... in the imagination of only-ists.....
You came to the conclusion that the KJV is INSPIRED..... how? Only in your mind. There is ZERO indication anywhere that the version demanded by an ancient British king, to support HIS view of Christianity is "inspired".
The only "inspired" scriptures are the original ones... written by men inspired by God. EVERYTHING else is a copy/translation.
No matter what you think....
And when we show you that their qutoations of OT differ from the KJV OT, you will just say they are not quotations, but parahprases... nice job
And so you can continue saying that their OT was not different.
Isn't it funny how many Christians will argue to the end that we do not have the word of God...that what we have cannot be 100% trusted...only the originals can be trusted...and they will defend that position till the end. Why? I believe that they do not want to give up final authority on what God has said. With many versions along with the Greek lexicons, they will determine what God has said. Why give up authority to a book?
well, speaking for myself, I want to leave final authority to the Spirit
ST. JOHN 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes,
he will guide you into all the truth.
He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
Are you saying that without the word of God, the Holy Spirit would teach you all the doctrines that are found in the word of God? You wouldn't even know that verse, John 16:13, without the word of God.
