    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    This is an early preliminary work I had in the fire for a while. There are 20 more candidates I have not added to the list that need to be checked. I also would need to double check all the links again on my current writeup, to make sure they double check out, too. The Battle of the Lexicons...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    Jesus and His followers never shared today's post modernist view that God's words contained errors. Sure, there are corruptions of God's words out there. The corruptions only exist in your Modern Bibles and Critical Text. But there are no errors in the underlying Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    To a degree, you are correct, that is what happens in the Modern Bible Movement. The proponents of this movement question the traditional Greek text. However, more specifically, the Critical Text refers to the new adopted Greek text that underlies the Modern Translations such as the NIV, ESV...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    I highly recommend consulting the older, pre-1700s lexicons, before German Rationalism began exerting a significant influence upon later biblical scholarship and lexicography. Modern lexicons can sometimes assign expanded meanings that go beyond a word’s demonstrated historical usage within...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    You are taking my original statement out of context and turning it into a claim I did not make. What I actually said was: “The Critical text, if that is your preferred text, was born out of Unitarian influence, and liberals and German Rationalism.” I did not imply or say that Unitarianism was...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    Grace and peace to you in Jesus Christ. While there are differences in both the KJV editions and Modern Bibles, they are not the same kind of differences. The KJV edition differences between 1611 and 1638 existed because the KJV translators were still ironing out a few corrections in trying...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    By contrast to the TR/KJV: When we look at the other popular major Bible line today (i.e., the Critical Text and its Modern English Bibles), we see heretics (like Unitarians, Catholics working on behalf of the Vatican to work on its text, and liberals, etc.). We see that the text keeps...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    I stand behind the KJV and its reading seeing I believe it is a providential translation that is without error. Note: That said, while I believe God's hand is upon the KJV, I do not believe it is the inspired words of God. I believe the underlying Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek of the KJV are...

    GALATIANS 5:12 DOES NOT GRAMMATICALLY REQUIRE THE CASTRATION INTERPRETATION: Galatians 5:12 in Beza's 1598 Greek reads: Ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται οἱ ἀναστατοῦντες ὑμᾶς. KJV: “I would they were even cut off which trouble you.” The key word is ἀποκόψονται, from ἀποκόπτω (G609), “to cut off” or...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    So, when we are first saved by God, we do not have to be water baptized to be saved, or circumcised, etcetera. We are saved initially by believing the gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 in that we believe that Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and risen the third day for our...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    Most misunderstand Paul when he refers to being saved by God's grace through faith without works. If one were to read it in light of the heresy brought up in Acts 15 in the KJV, you would see that Paul was fighting against "Circumcision Salvationism." Paul Was Fighting Against Circumcision...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    While you may or may not be suggesting this: Even if one were to take the approach that Jesus wanted us to literally rip out our eyes, and chop off our hands, that still is not the same thing as wishing that the Judaizers would castrate themselves because they taught "Circumcision Salvationism."...

    Editorial Fix or Correction: (I should have said the sentence like this): "Do we trust that when Jesus (who is God) told us to pray and love and do good towards our enemies, that God was also consistent to also provide later words through one of his greatest ministers (the apostle Paul) that...

    Side Note: Also, cutting off your hand is a life threatening issue. All the loss of blood and the cutting of the veins could kill a person. God does not want us to potentially murder ourselves to avoid hell. Nor would he want us to lead others to do that, either. ....

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    Even when the evidence points in the direction for the Received Text, you appear to still fight against it, my friend. I believe this is in part a moral issue. The promises of God stand in keeping His word pure, certain and for all generations stands on God's goodness. Do we trust what God...

    Well said, brother. Side Note: Just curious, do you believe in the Trinity? Do you believe Christians are to live holy lives by the power of the Holy Spirit as a part of God's grace? Anyway, I noticed you said Jesus is YHWH in another thread. You may like my free PDF writeup titled, "Is...

    Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

    I agree totally, brother. Bill Fortenberry would disagree with us of course. He either rejects or reinterprets the historical testimony of the Oxford dictionary on the word “prevent” and its Latin ancestor word praevenīre. The Latin word "praevenīre" means: prae- = “before” venīre = “to...

    @DavidLamb Editorial Correction: On the older usage of the word "prevent": While there was some contextual usages of the word "prevent' as having a hindrance idea, it also included a secondary sense of precede, as well. In other words, the modern usage of the word "prevent' like we use it...
