Those quacks! They actually believe everything in the Bible is trustworthy. Stains!
Not quite true, those quacks think they’re the only ones who actually believe “the Bible.” And they are quacks.

Your comment is not even close to being true, but it tends to feed the self-righteousness of those in your sect which is founded upon mocking others as if they’re not the believers they are.

KJVOnlyism is a hobby of the ignorant. Most, like yourself, are full of heresies which is another manifestation of ignorance, as in your open theism heresy which you believe since you cannot implement 2 Timothy 2:15.

We who are not KJVO cultists know the Scriptures are trustworthy. We believe the entirety of its message. You cannot accept this truth. :)

The children of Israel roaming around in the wilderness are a foreshadow of Christianity.

Of those original people, the ones of that “firstborn” generation, only 2 made it into the promised land. And those 2 had ANOTHER SPIRIT leading them. Another spirit that all of the others did not have.

I don’t know how much of that you will understand, but you should at least take away the fact ALMOST all of the children of Israel were wrong in their beliefs.

Self-righteous, arrogant blather couched in references to Scripture; sectarianism at its finest.

I understood both your explanation and your denigration.
I don’t denigrate anybody. You don’t understand the symbolism I mentioned and most likely neither does he. If you did understand you would be making comments on the post rather than railing against me.

You didn’t make a single comment about the lack of people entering the promised land nor offer any comments about the other spirit that was with Joshua and Caleb.

Why not counter my claim with an argument like how I’m wrong that Joshua and Caleb had another spirit. What was that spirit? How was it different than the spirit with the others?

Lighten up and just enjoy the conversation.

You arrogantly presume you know much more than the rest of us. I'm calling you out on it. Lose the arrogance.

And when he had apprehended him he put him in prison
and delivered him to four quarternions of soldiers to keep him
intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

Acts 12 verse 4 KJV

If the KJV is so perfect why isn't Passover used instead of Easter here? Easter is said to have been derived from Ishtar a pagan fertility Goddess?

If this is a no, then you have a modern revision of the King James Version.
Changing (updating) the typeface or the spellings does not constitute "revision".

Revision means omissions, additions, deletions, substitutions, and transpositions. Based upon a different critical text.

Sheol/Hades is the region of departed souls and spirits. It is in the heart of the earth, or the lower parts of the earth, or the nether regions, or near the core of the earth. Unfortunately the King James translators did not transliterate Sheol and Hades, and thus caused a lot of confusion.
Oh dear!

Rev 20:14
KJV

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Young's Literal
14 and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire -- this [is] the second death;

NIV
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death

KJVOnlyism is a stain on Christianity, a hobby of ignorance.
Umm, are you preaching the truth? partial truth?or no truth at all regards to the issue? My bad guess, you are not preaching4truth. This is another flimsy arguments.

Which scripture? Trustworthy? The message or the words? Y’all have a hobby of correcting the Bible as you see fit.

Trying my best to share a truth that God has given to me isn't being arrogant in most people's book. I know the king James bible, symbolism and foreshadowing, those are my strong points. What am I supposed to do, acquiesce to you and not share what I do know.

I don't why you can't just come up with an argument against what I said. Prove that Israel isn't a type of the church, prove that Joshua and Caleb didn't have another spirit with them. Tell me how neither of those things don't apply to us today.

My whole point in saying what I said was to point out that the "consensus" in a religious group is always WRONG. The truth and those that follow i,t is ALWAYS a subset of the larger group. And what I mean by that is, the consensus of the church is that God only preserved his word in the contradictory copies of the original-language writings.

I'll stand against that all day long.

He won't answer that because he can't answer that. I say put your faith in any bible and believe every word is true and see how quickly the list narrows to one bible. But that requires work and most people aren't going to put forth the effort. That's why James White exists.

People do not want to submit to a final authority. Man has always wanted to be his own authority.
