Is Knowledge of the Original Languages Necessary for KJV Believers?

[HealthAndHappiness]

You missed the beginning words.

This book is edited from the lectures and unpublished notes of R. B. Thieme, Jr.

The original messages almost always referenced the KJV.
I have yet to hear him give a lesson beginning with the NASB

Why they chose that route I can not tell you.

He almost always cited the KJV in the unedited original classes.

A devout student of his, my former pastor Rick Knapp, started with the KJV when he taught at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial.
I noticed gradually over the years as he studied greek, he gravitated towards using the new versions. Eventually he would undermine the King James traditional text for his own translations. Is that what Theime did too?

It is not a yes or no question. Paul gave a condition. He said. "ye are saved, if ye keep in memory (that) what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain." And the word memory is not in the Greek. It should read differently. It should say "that".

As I look at this, I see I need to look at it more intently. The word "that" does seem good either. I will have to get back to you.

Regardless, there is a condition. So yes, as long as the condition is meant.

How long have you been speaking Greek?

Thieme had no need.
He was an expert exegetical teacher in his own right. Rare to find.

The King James does have some serious problems in itself.
Do what you wish.

After all... Some could not see Paul as a man of God as well.

If you can't see it for yourself?

So be it.

Knapp decided to go with the critical text.
No matter how good an exegetical teacher one is, if you start out with corrupt manuscripts you can't expect to correct the obvious pure word of God.

Does anybody actually teach the Word of God these days?
Or do they only argue over how the Word of God is to be taught?

If you would like?

I have set up an alternative email address.
I can send you a complete message by RBT that you can evaluate for yourself.

Who has corrupt manuscripts???
Brilliant trick of the devil to get the dog to chase its tail without end.

It is bitterness until the Holy Spirit guides you into what is needed.
Until then... It will be lies.. lies... lies...

People here only argue, argue, argue, and gain NOTHING!

I for one, cannot follow King James English. Might as well be Greek.
