But some reasons are for textual criticism issues. We are constantly finding new papyri and are being able to learn more about God’s word. So there are updates.

What a weariness.

Is God's word never to be settled?

It took a long time for me to grow up and quit playing scholar. What I found was that being obsessed with the original and version differences was a way to keep God at bay. I grew a lot when I came to rest on the KJV. And I got no help from reformed pastors playing scholar. God had to deliver me from the hidden neo-orthdoxy of our day.

Is the KJV perfect? I will say this, it is good enough to get me to glory. It is a good starting point. And God is honored that I believe in His providential preservation, and I believe in His Church and the job it did on this great work.

Just one thing, don't be mislead by so-called science or modern thought. You say "in our day and age" like this is some kind golden day. It is not. The men who did the KJV were far superior to liberals and rank unbelievers who crank out new versions so publishing houses can get rich.

You are right about there being some good preaching available! Here is some: https://www.sermonaudio.com/source_detail.asp?sourceid=mettabernacle

"...he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
(1Jo 5:10-12)

What kind of a man loves to be a stinker, a hold back, a pain, to group of believers?

What are you doing here?

Give it a rest for awhile, and think it over.

For those of you who consider the KJV to be special or better or whatever, how did you reach that conclusion?

For me this small book was of great help:

English Bible Translations, by What Standard? by William O. Einwechter. It may be hard to find.

The Trinitarian Bible Society seems good as well.

I was in great confusion years ago in regard to a Bible version. I spent all my time in Bibleworks comparing versions because they all seem to swerve at some point. At the time I was using mainly the NASB. I was into Piper when he went to the ESV in 2002 (?). I had such great hopes! I jumped in and got two leather bound units for my wife and myself.

We used it, and read though it twice in two years. During this time we were driven crazy by the ESV. It is so poorly done it is hard to believe.

I found myself spending even more time in Bibleworks looking and comparing. What a time burner! What a wake up call when a brother challenged me on it! God used this to shake me up bad. What is Piper thinking? What is going on? I still don’t get it.

Well God brought us home to the KJV after much pain.

Shame on those Reformed pastors that poisoned our minds to the KJV early on in our faith (they promoted the use the ASV 1901). Away with all the confusion and subtle attacks on God’s word! God have mercy.

Does this look like repentance to you?

I know it does not look like repentance to the world because it is news.

Oh I do love it when people use Latin!

You seem to be posessed with a insanabile cacoethes scribendi.

But to be sure Dispensationalism is anicularum lucubrationes.
