Jude 3:4 says to earnestly 'contend for the faith once delivered to the saints.'

When the apostles passed on the teachings of Jesus and their own teachings as led by the Spirit, and when their teachings were written down in gospels and epistles, they did not write them in Late Modern English. They wrote in Greek.

There are some people who teach basically that the King James Bible is word-for-word inspired. That would require basically the canon of scripture to be open until 1611, turning translators into something like inspired scripture writers.

I've seen a variety of arguments for KJV onlyism. One is to point to flaws of other manuscript compilations that some other translation was translated from. But that doesn't prove the KJV is an inerrant inspired translation.

Another argument is that the Bible you have 'in your hand' needs to be inspired. But I could hold an NIV or NASB in my hand, too. That doesn't make it inspired.

Another argument is that there has to be a 'final authority.' It doesn't make any sense to use that to argue that the KJV is an inspired inerrant translation.

Some KJV-onlyist argue that it was the only translation 'authorized' by a king. But Henry VIII had the Great Bible translated, and that doesn't make it an inerrant translation.

Yet another argument is to take a verse about how pure or preserved the word of God is, quoting a verse about it. But those verses existed in the actual original languages scripture was written in, and they show up in the other translations as well. So how is that an argument for KJV onlyism?

The fatal flaw of KJV-onlyism is that it is an ignorant back-woods idea made up by preachers or others some time after the KJV was translated, and not part of 'the faith once delivered to the saints. The apostles did teach it. The Bible doesn't teach it. People got saved through believing the word of God before King James was born.

This is just another narrow minded argument that leads nowhere, where have you picked all this up from 🤔


If there's errors in texts, it is mainly down to How the scribes have wrote down words. And how old ancient texts are that fade.

But for most part we understand the KJV.

Your argument is deeply flawed because your passing the buck to the KJV onlyism for this.

What is a KJV onlyism in your mind, or anyone elses mind.

Is it someone who only has a KJV bible there life, passed on from there father or mother.


Is it someone who prefers the kjv, because the word ye is in there more.

Do people love that Jesus addressed people as ye. And not you.

Do people out there start to hate the KJV because you can see Jesus talking his language, or they struggle to interpret some verses, as some verses are hard to interpret than say the NIV


But if I was to put my money on why people hate The KJV, it is because evil hates Jesus.

In the KJV you hear Jesus speaking the word Ye a lot, and ye feal as if he is talking to ye.

Because ye sounds so much better than you.


So ye sure should concentrate more on what's in the KJV, and less than what narrow minded people think

Interesting how God works.
Not too long ago, about a week or two ago, I was oddly thinking of a KJV debate between Will Kinney and C. Jay Cox. They were discussing Job 40:17 (At about 1 hour mark - see video here). While I was obviously rooting for Will Kinney in the debate, he gave an interpretation I respectfully did not agree with. I believe that the word "stones" is symbolic for "thighs” in Job 40:17. Note: I believe the "Behometh" is most likely a Sauropod dinosaur of some kind.

Anyway, Song of Solomon 5:15 was a new discovery for me on this matter.

Song of Solomon 5:15 says,
"His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars"

Marble is stone. The legs here in this verse are referred to as stone (marble). Even the word "cedar" is mentioned here in this verse, and yet in Job 40:17, we see the "Behometh's" tail is like a cedar tree. This is the connection.

So legs of stone and cedar are spoken about in Job 40:17 and Song of Solomon 5:15.
There is no contradiction or problem here in God’s Word.
I believe God sometimes may obscure things for us to dig more into His Word.

well yes I would agree, but only if your searching Jesus In each text can you.

The issue arises when interpretation is seen as Something Jesus has not said or God has not said.

It makes no difference, there are mistakes. There is enough information in there to forgive mistakes,

I love the scripture that says all tho everything is not explained in full.

1 John 21.25
Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.


Look see you can search out mistakes but you may not find an answer.

You clearly have to seek the lord when searching 😊

..41. Christ is called a seed (Galatians 3:16), and the word is called a seed (1 Peter 1:23, Luke 8:11) (Note: See my post below here for further details).


The communicated word of God that we have today is the Bible.

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11).

Jesus (the Living Word) was sent by the commandment (mouth) of the Father. Jesus said and did everything the Father told Him to do (John 12:49) (John 14:31).

What is interesting is that the Living Word accomplished that which the Father commanded Him to do and to prosper (accomplish) that thing He sent to do (i.e. Jesus suffered on the cross, and said, “It is finished” and died for man’s sins). Jesus was risen three days later and ascended to the Father. God’s Word (the living Word) did not return void by whom the Father sent.

The communicated Word can also be sent out and not return void, as well. For many have believed and have stayed faithful to what God’s Word says.

In the creation: The Word made flesh (John 1:1, John 1:14) (i.e. Christ) created everything. In the beginning, God spoke words to bring forth the creation in six days (Genesis 1:1-31).

So in the beginning was the Living Word, and the communicated Word.

In the end of this sinful world: Christ will return (Revelation 19:11-21) and a sharp sword will proceed from His mouth. This sword could be the “sword of the Spirit,” (Which is the Word of God) or it could be symbolic of such (Ephesians 6:17).

So in the end there will be the Living Word and the communicated Word.

For at Christ’s return: His name is called The “Word of God.” (Revelation 19:13) (Living Word).

On His thigh, and vesture is a name written (words) “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Communicated Word).

Jesus was beaten to a pulp and crucified on a tree.

The Word we have today (the Bible) is a result of pulp made from a tree.

Jesus was the Word made flesh (covered in skin).

The Word we have today (the Bible) is popular to be available covered in skin (leather).

Words on the page hang on this tree (paper) (the Bible),
just like the Living Word hung on a tree (the cross).

Jesus says,
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” (John 5:39).

What do you think?
Did I sufficiently search out Jesus in the text by my above study?

There is something clearly wrong when you can't take a simple friendly agreement, with my first initial post to you.

Then for some unknown reason you turn my agreement of your post into an outburst.

1 John here, was given to you to show you I was in agreement with why people should search. But they should search the lord, because of 1 John here.

However you have taken scripture as a personal insult, which many people do.

If you where fully grown in the lord you would not take scripture as an insult.

You should also understand that 1 John here is saying not all of God's word is in the bible Is in full detail, as if it was there would not be enough pages to write everything the lord did.

So what I'm saying is , all theese people who are narrow minded, pick fault in others peoples understanding, should be looking to why the bible has not wrote everything,

Not because of man's interpretation, of why, or somebody who only loves the KJV, but to what Jesus says why

Do ye understand this, or do ye have learning difficulties.

That would be your imagination working overtime. I believe John 21:25 just fine and I have even discussed and used it before in the past on several occasions. Question: Can you learn about anything Jesus did that was not written down as mentioned in John 21:25?

2 Timothy 3:16-17 basically says all Scripture is profitable for doctrine, and correction in righteousness so that the man of God may be perfect unto every good work. So how do you get doctrine? By Scripture or by the unwritten things Jesus did that we never got to read?

We are not claiming that everything God said, and did is in the Bible. We are saying that all things necessary for our faith today was written down in the Bible. We are not looking to some new vision, revelation, dream, or voice from God. What we have with the Bible is sufficient for believing what God desires us to believe, and it is sufficient for obeying God’s will.

Are you following a person who is claiming to be Jesus?

Are you getting it from things Jesus did that was not written down? Are you talking to some voice in your head that you think is Jesus?
Are you following a person who is claiming to be Jesus?

. Noo I never attacked you, my honesty asked you a question..

If you felt insulted by my honest questions, I don't know why.
.but I'm not going to apologize for something I have no idea what your talking about.

If I asked do you love God would you tell me or get offended.



I have a another verse that goes with John 21:25

Maybe you can help me with your knowledge, as I can see you have it.

It goes something like all tho everything is not explained in full in verses it was however explained in full to the apostles,

Do you now where it is I can't remember,

Fine. Then read it. It is just one translation of many.

But God does not speak in multiple conflicting translations. That would mean God is the author of confusion if such was the case.
If three people gave you conflicting directions on how to get to a certain destination, you wouldn't be happy that two of them gave you false directions. You would only be happy with the one who gave you the correct directions. You wouldn't fly in a plane that was constructed out of conflicting CAD models.

This is just another narrow minded argument that leads nowhere, where have you picked all this up from 🤔


If there's errors in texts, it is mainly down to How the scribes have wrote down words. And how old ancient texts are that fade.

But for most part we understand the KJV.

Your argument is deeply flawed because your passing the buck to the KJV onlyism for this.

What is a KJV onlyism in your mind, or anyone elses mind.

Is it someone who only has a KJV bible there life, passed on from there father or mother.


Is it someone who prefers the kjv, because the word ye is in there more.

Do people love that Jesus addressed people as ye. And not you.

Do people out there start to hate the KJV because you can see Jesus talking his language, or they struggle to interpret some verses, as some verses are hard to interpret than say the NIV


But if I was to put my money on why people hate The KJV, it is because evil hates Jesus.

In the KJV you hear Jesus speaking the word Ye a lot, and ye feal as if he is talking to ye.

Because ye sounds so much better than you.


So ye sure should concentrate more on what's in the KJV, and less than what narrow minded people think

If you don't have anything of substance to say to refute the specific points of a post, just can call the other person narrow-minded. That's easier than dealing with specific arguments. I described the point of view I took issue with, "There are some people who teach basically that the King James Bible is word-for-word inspired."

If you inherited a KJV from your great-grandmother, that's fine with me. I don't hate the KJV. I actually like the cadence of the KJV. I've memorized and quoted books of the Bible out of the KJV in the past. I just don't think it is an inerrant inspired translation and find some of the KJV-onlyist ideas about this to be strange and that they defy good sense.

Yes, you attacked me. Your saying that you didn't attack me when you did is a denial on your part.

Moving on from talking to you.
