    The rapture is close?

    The 7 yr period of Daniel is never called 'the tribulation' in scripture; that is simply manmade hogwash. Jesus only spoke of the 'great tribulation' which begins at the AoD (Matt 24), which, per Daniel 9, is at the midpoint of the last 7 yr period. The GT is cut short by the signs of the sun...

    The rapture is close?

    There is no 7-yr tribulation so-named in scripture.

    My KJV Debate with Jeffrey Dollar

    I don't agree to this at all - it's exactly what I am arguing. 'im' can be interpreted a singular, but the burden of proof is on you to show from scripture why the KJV's interpretation in the singular is preferred. True, but irrelevant as to establishing which translation is correct. As I said...

    My KJV Debate with Jeffrey Dollar

    Again, the point is not whether it can be translated as singular, it is whether it should be. I can post a list of translations that all translate it as 'heavens' but that doesn't settle the point. The question is context. The context of Gen 1:1 is a banner statement of the initial primordial...

    My KJV Debate with Jeffrey Dollar

    The question is not can Hebrew masculine forms be translated into English singulars; rather, the question is if it should be in the case of Gen 1:1. The context would demand plural, not singular. Gen 1:8 is appropriately singular because samayim is referring to raqia, which itself is singular...

    My KJV Debate with Jeffrey Dollar

    ok, to be clear - ha'shemayim means 'the heavens' not 'the heaven' as KJV has it. The -im ending is the masculine plural indicator in Hebrew. KJV is simply in error at this point. I don't know how much simpler to make it. Granted, this is a small error, but it easily dispels the notion that the...

    My KJV Debate with Jeffrey Dollar

    I'd be surprised if any one can stand behind a 'pure' KJV only when we have literally 10s of thousands of documented changes that have been made to it in the last 500 years. Doesn't say much for the 'purity' of the KJV. No one uses the original 1611 KJV in middle-English; not even KJV-onlyists.

    My KJV Debate with Jeffrey Dollar

    Nor did I claim it was part of scripture. Rather, I was pointing out the hypocrisy of alleging inlfuences of the translators of modern bibles while ignoring the same for the KJV. We can't have it both ways and be honest inquirers. What's good for one is good for the other.

    My KJV Debate with Jeffrey Dollar

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexuality_of_James_VI_and_I There seems to be good evidence that he was bi. So if we're going to castigate modern translations for their supposed 'influences', let's be consistent and point out the 'influences' of the people behind the KJV.

    My KJV Debate with Jeffrey Dollar

    I'll do you one better: the KJV translators were ALL sinners guilty of murder, hate, lust, dishonesty, etc., etc. (i.e. they were sinners). Therefore, by your logic, we shouldn't trust their translations because they may have 'influenced' the text as they were translating.

    My KJV Debate with Jeffrey Dollar

    "The Preface to the 1611 KJV is eleven pages in length. It gives glory to God for his Word, while at the same time defending its own translation of the Scripture. However, the 1611 KJV translators state that while there are "imperfections and blemishes" in other translations of the Bible that...

    And again you sidestepped the question. I'm not asking about translations that was done by the authors within the text; I'm asking about the method the KJV translators used to translate from the Masoretic - was it literal or dynamic equivalent, and why? Where in scripture does it indicate which...
