Strange comments continue to appear here. I am attacked with the accusation of attacking the Bible, attacking the readers of the KJV, etc.
It is suggested that I have no right to publish my own opinion on my own blog and the demand is made that I share everyone else's opinion. All nonsense. Sounds much like the leftist position of equality for all.
How many times do I need to affirm the KJV?
How many times do I need to affirm individual believers who read that version?
What I refuse to affirm is the notion that non-KJV versions, all of them, are of the Devil.
What I refuse to affirm is that KJV readers are somehow a cut above the rest of us.
God speaks His Word in every honest translation attempt. I do not include JW or certain charismatic Bibles in this category and I have given reasons.
Those who continue to attack rather than edify or ask honest questions will continue to be deleted, and encouraged to start a blog of their own...
I take it as a personal responsibility to protect the veracity of Scripture by protecting the veracity of translations such as the NKJV and several others.
I take it as a personal responsibility to vilify Bible-burners and cultists.
If the apostles saw the word of God in the Septuagint, why cannot we believe God speaks in the NASB?
Once more I ask that this comment section be reserved for those with honest questions, not for those who wish to post an entirely different point of view. SermonAudio is open to both sides of this argument and you can create your own blog for that purpose.
I will continue to delete adversarial comments.
One point I am making in this post is that those who have villified Westcott have probably not listened to the man himself.
Another point is that all translators and Biblical scholars are flawed, whether Catholic priest Erasmus who indirectly was responsible for the KJV or Westcott or Spurgeon or all the KJV translators or all the ESV translators. Given enough time, we could pick apart any one of them.
But that would be time wasted. For the "picker" is flawed too. And so am I.
Enjoy your Bible, whatever version God has led you to, and keep learning...
Well written article, and accurate.We were once involved in this movement, and are grateful to our Lord for removing the scales of our eyes. Thanks for posting this up.
I will have to delete comments that do not edify, but only wish to argue and be right. Those who have a differing opinion about the KJV can easily find avenues to publish such. I am using this one now to say:
1. The KJV is the Word of God. But
2. The KJV is not the only translation by which I will be saved and sanctified and brought to Heaven.
3. Those who trash the Scriptures because they are in translations they are not used to, endanger themselves and many others.
4. I have never banned the KJV. But the KJV people ban other Bibles, even burn them.
5. God leads His people through various stages. Some are being led for a season to the KJV. Others are ready to move on. Do not judge God's leading in other lives.
“ Great Sermon! ” Much to think about. Where the Bible is [essentially] silent, so must we be. I will reserve comment on your analysis and leave it for others to consider. Thanks.
“ Mr. Faulkner ” If death passed to all humans via Adam, (Rom. 5), we are not condemmed because of our actual sin, say any bad doings done; rather all individuals stand condemned by means of the imputed sin-nature in Adam's sin.
This then makes questionable to sustain that all babes are in heaven, because in Adam they all have inherited death.
It is a matter of election and mercy.
Esau and Jacob were elected from the womb, one unto perdition and the other to obtain mercy, and that before they had done any good or evil.
See, "For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls ... As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. ... I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy."
Out of our human inclination, we may assume God as having mercy of them all, but there might not be a solid biblical base to categorically imply it.
This one of the mostimportant sermons of pster marshall duri g the second world war. I have the record I bought 50 years ago in new zealand it isthe flip side of were you tnere,,it is relavent for today.
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank you so much for these wonderful readings from Charles Spurgeon. I have been moved in my heart so deeply by all his words. Bless you for your sharing.
“ Great Sermon! ” To many in the church have become comfortable. Many have read and discussed the end times. Many have made perdictions. Some have reassured not in our life time.GOD is in charge of every life. Man wants to be in charge.USA is in such denial and has taken for granted all God's provisions and blessings. This virus should wake all Christians UP out of their comfort zones.Time to stop being superficial... practice what we know and have been taught, thanks for your message
“ Good message ” Thank you for this message. You are one of the few preachers I've heard who make a direct connection between this pandemic and the monstrous sins that the world has increasingly embraced, especially abortion and sexual perversion.
“ I loved these ” I'm very thankful this is on audio, one of the best audio books I've listened to. It's helped me realize a lot of my suffering and struggles are a good thing, drawing me closer to God.
It's amazing to see Brainerd's desires for God and spiritual maturity at such an early age. Some of the things he says in his 20's sounds like the wisdom from someone who's walked with the Lord for many decades.
“ Great Sermon! ” True men of God are a rarity in this present day; most are pompous, arrogant and pride-filled. They refuse correction and falsely accuse when their sins are exposed. George Muller, on the other hand, was a TRUE man of God, his humility and utter dependence on God was amazing. He truly loved the brethren, and his actions proved it. He also desired to only serve Christ and depend on God to provide what was necessary to do so. Again, this is unheard of in this day.
True believers are rare in this day, most bite and devour, attack and malign. Muller displayed what a true Christian looks like, ALL glory goes to God - who humbles His true elect. How grateful am I that He does so....
