Maybe you should look at it from another view and watch the documentaries suggested below. Especially:

Tares Among the Wheat

If one thing has questionable origins why not just go for the one that has trustworthy origins that godly men gave their lives to give to the people and that God has been using to build His Kingdom for hundreds of years?

Hey Kev, thanks for mentioning Amazon Prime...will take a look.

How great it must be to have a wife who's a born again Christian, and to be on the same page, and with the same interests and goals.

Proverbs 19:14 (KJV)

14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.

God sent her into my life to lead me to Him and sent me into her life so she could actually hear and understand the Gospel(she didn’t get that in her old church setting) and I don’t believe she was born again till recently. She at first was opposed to the Gospel but now she is pretty much just like me in her understanding and has now a close relationship with God. It’s cool how God works these things out. God is teaching you things in your relationship Chris and I’m sorry to hear your wife is not interested in the things of the Lord.

My wife traded in her old NLT for the KJV after doing study and looking into these things as well, she is a firm believer in the KJV.

I should add that:

Trust this apology suffices.

Kev, I think that was just an error, and I saw it as such. Lurker was actually writing to Connor not you.

You purposefully had to erase content on both sides of my name to make it read like that.

About 2 Peter 1:1(KJV)

1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

If you let scripture interpret scripture it is easy to understand who Jesus Christ is. View that verse in light of this verse

Isaiah 43:11 (KJV)

11 I, even I, am the Lord; and BESIDE ME THERE IS NO SAVIOR.

I think the Isaiah 43:11 rule is much more convincing than a translation rule that was made around 2000 years after the language.

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

1 Peter 1 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen

1.lifting up one translation as the word is heresy.
2.any teacher that does not know Greek deeply and thoroughly should be discounted in the same way as anyone who has not ever spoken Spanish should not be authority on Spanish.
Its one thing for a pastor to not have done the study and to teach from the bible in their own langauge...
its a whole other one
For a pastor to have never done backgrounds and language study (which by the way all the translators have always done) -- and then to claim authority over those who have spent a lifetime diligently doing so.

1.Hebrews 12:14 you could misinterpret that verse to teach works salvation,
2.the KJV is simply that, a translation.
Sixth, I gotta go.

Matthew 6:33

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS RIGTHEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.

We are to seek after HIS RIGTHEOUSNESS which is by faith which is the holiness without which no man will see the Lord.

2. When you call any version just a translation then it sure at least sounds like you are putting down the word of God Connor. I hope you can see that. Maybe this is why some are upset because they feel there is no word of God for anyone in the English language. Your examples of how we can get false doctrine from the KJ Bible was not valid and I’m sure that is one of the best examples you can give.

Do you have an english version you can turn to as absolutely authoritative for you?

I didn’t say you affirm those trans.

1 Peter 1:23

23 BEING BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the WORD OF GOD, which liveth and abideth for ever.

The word of God is the incorruptible seed which someone is born again by. I think it would be silly to say some are not born again through new translation reading and preaching so by definition there is the word of God in them. To say they are sewage is not right. To say some VERSES that have false doctrine in them are sewage is fair to say. The word of God is also said to be a light to our feet. If you don’t think there is any light from other versions is not right.

Ladybug, the things I said to you were vicious and cruel, and I sincerely apologize for them. The reason I never answer your questions about doctrine is because we have doctrinal differences that will not be resolved until we are both in heaven and the Lord teaches both of us perfect knowledge. You won't convince me and I won't convince you to change beliefs, so it's pointless to argue with each other.

Kev, that is actually a lie. It comes by way of an exaggeration, designed to make me out to be always calling people devils. So it is effectively yet another misrepresentation.
