[Laodicea]

1) Bible (KJV)
2) Strong's Concordance

 

[Scotth1960]

1) Bible (KJV)
2) Strong's Concordance

KJV. Heretical in Hebrews 6:6. Says the word "if", which is lacking in the original Greek. Hebrews 6:6 is correctly translated in the NASB. Also heretical is the KJV in its term "Holy Ghost". A ghost is the spirit of a dead man. The King James translators got this term wrong sometimes; sometimes they translate the term pneuma "Spirit" and sometimes "Ghost", so they are quite inconsistent and contradictory here. It should only and always be translated as "Holy Spirit". "Holy Ghost" is heretical.
Also, some versions of the KJV lack the full Deuterocanon, so the KJV is a partially false Bible.

Nevertheless, your list consisted of books by men. Lao's list has the only book from God.

Pardon me. That's incorrect. Lao's list has the KJV. The King James version is from men, the men who translated the KJV. Not from God in exactly the same sense as the original Bible. Only the original Greek Bible is from unequivocally God.
They also used a Hebrew text for the Old Testament, and that is another mistake. They should have used the Septuagint Greek LXX Old Testament. With its full canon. So. Laodicea's list is also books by men.
Actually, all books are by men, even the Bible. Men of God that is: "holy men of God" (2 Peter 1:21 NKJV). The men who wrote the books in my list are holy men of God.
The KJV is partially from God, but not completely divinely inspired. Only the original Bible is without errors.

I was refering to the Bible in general, not the KJV (which I don't use). And I didn't say God wrote the Bible , I said it was "from God".
