Anybody who reads the KJV should know it doesn't match the Greek and Hebrew in hundreds if not thousands of places.

Which should cause you great concern my friend.

Why do I read the KJV?

Because I see Christ and his character and personality from cover to cover.

How so? You admit the King James Bible does not match the Hebrew and Greek in many places. If it varies from those manuscripts, how can you know that version has His character and personality correct?

It has no errors and I won't waste time arguing that point. The only "error" that I've seen that I don't understand yet is Ahaziah's age and I'm sure based on past experience that this no error either. Sometimes God waits for years before he shows me the truth about a supposed error.

So, you say the King James Bible varies from the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts, yet it is void of any errors? This makes zero sense my friend. Zero.

The book has God's signature of inspiration on it. There are patterns and language structures from cover to cover that defy explanation and are not humanly possible to accomplish.

The King James Bible is a TRANSLATION of God’s inspired word my friend. However, it is not inspired itself. No version is inspired. No version. 🤫

You are never going to convince a cultist when said is convinced the KJV is more accurate than the original mss. It is mere contemporary idolatry.

I've already told you the container doesn't matter, there are many ways to say the same thing... You're holding the "originals" up like they're all there ever was and ever can be.... And those original writings were only the container.

The word of God has never been bound by language or words. I don't think there's much more for me to say about this, but I will say that it blows my mind how I get accused of worshiping the bible when it is you guys who worship the container.... which isn't even the word of God.

My friend, the only way we can know God is through the word of God. That is the way God reveals Himself to us.

Ok believe what you want it doesn’t matter to me what you beieve.

Keep this in mind. Out of all the children of Israel that wandered around in the wilderness for forty years, only TWO of them made it into the promise land. And they made it because they had ANOTHER SPIRIT with them.

You’re in the majority. ALL of those people were covered by the blood but only two blood covered believers made it to the land flowing with milk and honey.

I’m trying to show you how to get to the milk and honey but you’re not interested. And that’s fine by me.

PS the children of Israel is foreshadow of us.

That’s funny I never read that in the Bible. In fact I see places in the Bible where God spoke through a dumb ass, a wicked high priest and not to mention all the people on Pentecost.

Gee wiz. I can't understand why there is nothing in the Bible about it being translated into the KJV. Strange!

Why would he, he didn’t mention the German bible or the Japanese bible either. I think you were just cracking a joke on me or maybe making fun of me a little bit.

What I do not understand is what these KJV Onlyers are learning in their favourite translation. They only seem to post on these KJV Only threads, and only rarely (if ever for a few of them) on the other threads which are about topics found in the Bible.

That is a total obsession with the version, rather than what it actually says. We need to stop posting on this topic. Use whatever version you prefer, but let's talk about what the Bible says, not about the translation or version, ok?

If people come on here and try to smear the deity of Jesus, the attributes of God, they say nothing. Let someone say the King James Bible is not inspired, the modern versions are better and they attack like a pack of hungry hyenas.

We see who their god is. :(

I think there are plenty of threads about how one can lose their salvation or how works keep us saved... I have zero interest in those topics.

I don't know what John believes about it but I am admitting that I don't understand it. I've asked God about it and I'm sure he'll let me know the truth when he's ready. Just because you and I can't figure it out doesn't mean it's an error.

I can respect a man who admits he doesn't know.

A person who smears the deity of Christ is lost and only God can save them.

You on the other hand causing people to cast doubt on scripture may be able to be reasoned with.

It’s a very complex story and I don’t know if it’s worth finding out the truth because whatever that truth is, it won’t be accepted by your side any way.

ROFL
That is because it is written in the language of Shakespeare. Much of Shakespeare's humor is lost since the English is 400 years old just like the KJV.
