Exactly. Which is exactly why this KJVO is so damaging... you are putting your whole belief system, and your faith, into a TRANSLATION of scripture... instead of scripture itself.
The "pure words of God" are what we engrave on our hearts, not in some idolized book....and the translation that puts them there matters very little... if we are studying God's word, the Spirit will make sure we arrive at the truth, whether we read about 70 people sent out, or 72.
You people are straining gnats and swallowing camels.
And driving babes in Christ away with your idolatrous worship of a translation.
I believe the King James Bible is scripture itself (in English that is). If you don't want to believe that then alright. Clearly this thread wasn't for you. Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing the word of God. So yeah, in the year 2017 I have to put my faith in a translation of scripture. Unless you can make me a time machine so I can read out of the originals xD.
I'm not driving anyone away. I doubt someone has read this thread and said "Y'know what? I don't believe in God anymore." All I'm saying is that the KJV is God's perfect word for English speaking people. If someone wants to read out of a newer version then they can do that. I never said that if you read out of a newer version you're going to hell. And btw God can enlighten a babe's mind to read old English and I say that from experience because that's what he did with me. If someone is a babe and they can't read the KJV because its too difficult to understand,
that's okay. I never said you weren't saved if you read the NASB or something.
John 17:17
Sanctify them through thy truth:
thy word is truth.
Psalm 138:2
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and
for thy truth: for thou hast magnified
thy word above all thy name.
