i am very sorry you feel degraded.
i'm not aware Scripture speaks poorly of education? i can cite a wealth of verses that laud knowledge, though i imagine you're referring to 1 Cor 8? which, i believe, we should take in context. and, of course, knowledge without love is not good.
but what drives Angela is love. i understand it may not seem like it, because you don't know her. i do, and i believe with all my heart it distresses her to see people trapped in bondage. if you glance at her post history, you will see it.
you know... the knowledge she has gained from study actually does make her more qualified to speak to the subject.
not that i'm her apologist, but i have the privilege of calling her my friend, and i love her.

While apostles were fishermen, without any higher education.
It really helps to get education, good sources, good teachers. Nothing against that.
i'm so glad our pastor has been educated in the Bible's original languages. he's able to teach things i would never see, otherwise. and i'm grateful for you, and others here who have learned them.
i would so much rather be making dinner for my neighbor with cancer(), or watching a young mother's children so she can rest. a very simple woman, me.

So I am quite sure you will be fine.
With all due respect sir, you come at people with condescension and a smug arrogance in your KJVO cultic spirit.
Your take is to present yourself as more spiritual, "one of the few who really believes God", "one of the few who really has God's word", and pride yourself in your ignorance of not "being learned." It is mocking others, taunting, and self-righteous.
You are a divisive person who sows discord with your idolatrous views on a Bible version while condemning others in the process. You will stand and give an account of this behavior before God, this divisiveness and idolatry about a version, which is idolatry as that is your main source and objective; not preaching Christ, but the "KJB." The "KJB" is your idol and that is a sad fact.
I however do pray God opens your eyes and sets you free.
Concerning your last bit above, Scripture doesn't say otherwise about education as you state, in fact Scripture pleads with us to gain knowledge, and specifically learning from others, and not remain babes. Your take is just showing your bias towards education, knowledge &c as with many KJVO'ers "ignorance" is worshiped and lauded, yet, it comes across as prideful and arrogant, a stench of the flesh to be frank.
You can get your last word in, not going to argue with you, you do need to take a long God look at yourself.

I have never degraded someone or judged their salvation. I apologize sincerely if I have come across smug or arrogant. That's not me at all. I have never condemned others, I just want people to see the truth that God has fulfilled his promise to preserve His pure words for us in the KJV. I don't idolize the KJV. That's your attempt to downgrade me. My eyes are very much opened and I read and study the word without correcting it. We are to gain knowledge through Scripture, not formal education.
58 pages give it up. if ur kjvonlyist u have been tricked.
read what the translators said themselves, they agree that it can be improved upon.
i have this system that lets u click on verses and words. and u can see what it says in greek or hebrew. then u can click on different translations of it. how its translated and what it means. i have noticed that almost always the lexicons do agree. i checked out the key verses that kjvonly poeple always talk about and they are properly translated in nasb thats the translation i looked at because james white is on the translation team there.
solid bible for sure
this only works on people like me with no education in any field whatsoever. if ur a fisherman u will buy the kjvonly hook line and kitchensink.
i never questioned it because i made the mistake of comparing kjv to other english translations instead of to the greek.
lets stop dividing ourselves over this dumb stuff

This argument could be used of any translation.
You are free to believe this, but it is certainly not necessary for salvation, and it is demonstrably weak from several perspectives. You have adopted a very narrow interpretation of many passages of Scripture, of which most may be interpreted differently and validly.

You need to give it a rest, Sparky...
Angela is simply explaining, through legitimate, good study why your approach is "chasing after the wind". You've been brainwashed by a numbers charlatan, or you truly have some OCD kind of thing.
This is amazing... someone who has dedicated their life to learning more about scripture, from the oldest manuscripts extant, and wants to help clue all of us who have NOT given up years of our lives to be able to learn those ancient languages, a better insight into what was actually said by the authors of the word.... and you want to drag her down for it?
This is a classic example of dumbing down scriptural study through jealousy, or ignorance.
I suppose we should not believe the apostle Paul, then.... he was educated under Gamaliel, who was the most respected and revered rabbi of that age. Pretty much the equivalent of a double Phd from Harvard or Cambridge.
