One time in the Bible we see the questioning of God’s Words is with the serpent. The serpent got Eve to question God’s words. “Yea, hath God said….?” So if questioning the Bible like Textual Critics do is considered normal and good to try and find His perfect words someday (that you will never have), then why don’t we see good examples of this? But we don’t. What we have is the serpent as an example of questioning God’s words. So questioning God’s words is bad according to the Bible. Yet, this is at the very heart of Textual Criticism. One is constantly questioning and criticizing the text. How on Earth you can just put your head in the sand on this point is beyond me.

And Exactly Why we place His Perfect Word Where "He Magnifies It":
Amen.
"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." (Psalm 138:2)
Part and parcel of our perfect worship of Him, eh?Amen.

But I got motive. Your side accuses us falsely that we worship the KJB (all because we believe the Bible is perfect).
Modern Bibles conveniently downgrade the importance of how God views His Word so we cannot quote this verse back to them with them even regarding this verse. Their Bible has demoted the importance of God’s Word which conveniently fits their viewpoint of the word.

Where, In Scripture, does It say I have to be a "foreign language scholar," When
The Omnipotent God [ that I know ] Preserved His Pure, Perfect, and Holy Word,
for me [ His child ], in my own language? He not only Sent The Blessed Teacher,
The Holy Spirit, Specified Certain study rules, But, Also Much More about:
Handling His Precious Word Of Life!
Amen.

The seventh purification is the final and perfect Word of God for today. This is the Pure Cambridge Edition by A.W.. Pollard (during WW2). There is only one Word for today. Generally Christians either follow the Authorized Version, which is the 1769 Blayney Cambridge with the Apocrypha removed in 1885 (sixth purification), or they are following the Pure Cambridge Edition that came out sometime during WW2 (the seventh purification). The Pure Cambridge has influence today seeing it is the KJB at Biblehub.com.

I don't know why I bother trying to explain Scripture to you when you struggle with basic grammar.
A homonym is a single thing, not a 'they' which is plural. You might say "Homonyms are words that look and sound the same but have different meanings" which is basically the dictionary definition. An example is "seal" which is both a marine animal and guard against leaks. "Book" and "scroll" are not homonyms.
And more than just those two.
No, it isn't. You simply have the wrong word for the concept. A homonym is a single word, not a phrase.
I assure you, it isn't. The context is about wild beasts that take over the land of Idumea after it is destroyed under the Lord's wrath.
And that is your reason why this verse is a reference to the KJV? Wow. That stretches even the idea of a stretch. Beyond ridiculous.
Um, no. You're making vast leaps of speculation.
"Textual criticism" is not a "they"; it is a set of practices. A set of practices does not "call" anything by any name.

You are clearly unaware of the history behind the KJV. Please, go and do your homework. Start with Desiderius Erasmus and his five editions of the Greek text. Move on to the work of Robert Estienne (aka Stephanus), and Theodore Beza, and their work in revising the Greek text, Finally, look at the KJV translators in using all of these and many more in preparing the KJV. Then, when you have actualy done your homework, then come back and talk to us about "constantly questioning and criticizing the text". Until then, you're blathering in sheer ignorance.
