John UK wrote: Let me reiterate. Let us suppose that the New King James Version was merely a modernising of the KJV language. Would it not have been a modern version? Well, if not, call it something else, but surely it would have been the inerrant and inspired word of the Living God? Unfortunately, it did not do that, but was subtly changed in several places.I still hold to the TBS position, that the KJV is the most accurate translation in English that we have today. But they are open-minded enough to accept that one day, there may be a more easily understood revision of it. Unlikely, but possible! Agree with both paragraphs. Sadly, I do not think a reliable updated translation will be made unless TBS themselves do it.Personally, I would also suggest that the influence of both Erasmus' losing wager, and the fake Greek manuscript that was conjured up to win the wager, be removed. |

David Preston wrote: "most Bible believers considered the 1611 translation as inferior to previous work due to the translators' self-declared biases." Who? I need specifics. In general, the Puritans, who originally fell for James VI and I's sop of an idea of a new translation. Specifically, the entire community of Plimouth Plantation, for example.David Preston wrote: ... printer issues... Agreed.However, it is not me that is asserting this to be "the preserved, infallible word of God for the English speaking people."In your purview, a revision is a revision and it cannot then be infallible.David Preston wrote: The translators ... displayed their humility. Conformity was the imposed political brief. However, their humility was not displayed in this, but rather their political subservience and bias: "Lastly, we have on the one side avoided the scrupulosity of the Puritans, who leave the old Ecclesiastical words, and betake them to other, as when they put WASHING for BAPTISM, and CONGREGATION instead of CHURCH: ... "David Preston wrote: By the way ... You raise the issue, so you tell me your answer and why it is important to you please. |

John UK wrote: Bible student, if I may butt in a minute. If you see those folks as false teachers, with good reason, it may help David if you would share with him your conclusions as to why you consider them thus. He has been reading them, and has been blessed by doing so. For someone to just come out and denounce them as false teachers without giving a good reason means nothing. After all, who are YOU? No-one knows except yourself. So I would heartily recommend, if you wish to edify the body of Christ, that you take it a stage further and explain what sort of heresies these folks promote. And even then, it may take a while for the information to sink in, so you must needs have patience and wait on the Lord, for his timing, and his revelation to any that have been affected by wrongful doctrine. Just sayin'. Agree with all the above.However, the errors of KJVOnlyism have been regurgitated on here more than enough, as you know. The evidence is available if SF and David are interested. Just because I don't have the time to invest in yet another futile bible versions discussion does not mean that there should free rein to promote such garbage unchallenged. He that has ears to hear, let him hear. Perhaps you have the time John? |

David Preston wrote: "bible student" I have already read many of Ruckmans and Riplingers books. Why can't I read them. I have been greatly blessed by them. They have opened up many Christians eyes. Your claimed "blessing" is not the standard of truth. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. |
