| | Re: | | It's interesting to note that the great revivals of the 18th and early 19th centuries in America had as it's version... the KJV. And that was at a time when most people didnt have any higher than an 8th grade education in this country, and certainly did not speak in Elizabethian English. We pride ourselves on being so well educated and technologically advanced... yet we Christians think unbelievers are incapable of reading the KJV.
I think it's a great deception that the KJV is "too hard" to read.

| | Re: | | Krispy: You're right, its not too hard. That is a deception. But deceptions are just that - they are designed to make specific people think that they are incapable of something. When there is no choice, the deception has failed. But there is always a choice in America. Proper leadership also dismantles this. But many Christians start out afraid of the throne room, let alone want to be in it. And many people who would have bibles handed out to them are wild cards. The Holy Spirit does wonderful things without us ever knowing it. But God still waits for us to make the choice to come to Him. As far as the manuscripts go... that is your personal finding. I've studied a bit under the topic, and had discussions with a few scholars versed in the subject, but as yet I hadn't been presented with that view.
Nasher: Wonderful! If the Spirit ever moves you, I still say don't feel shy about telling people why you're giving them that version.
Philologos: About Gideon... well, I guess I learn something every day :)

| | Nasher | | spot on mate! Good job that, putting your money where your mouth is, and buying the Living Word to give out those who hunger for it.
Its rather ironic that those who argue so vociferously about "corrupted" versions of God's Holy Word stay bracketed in their abodes, instead of going out into the world to hand out this precious Word to those who hunger.
Maybe if they would turn off their puters, go into a mall with some KJV Gospel's of John, and let the Holy Spirit lead them on what to do.......well, then God would be glorified!! |

Neilgin,
I have to defend Krispy here. He holds strongly to the text arguements and manuscripts for a reason, and admittedly has valid points. Also make no mistakes in that every person on the streets should probably have at least a few people such as Krispy following their tracks, because who is going to act as shepherd to these people? There is a very valid stance to his place in life. Fire and forget is a lot like attempting to toss seed on stony ground.
I was going to write a long and somewhat off-topic bit here, but I think I'll skip it.
Two thoughts: Mormon missionaries are entertained in my abode. And I don't live in Africa. Please, sir, be careful of words you throw. Their intention may be fine, but they don't make a lot of sense to me.

| | ptywama | | The KJV only argument is a divisive argument that fosters seperation among the brethern, and quite frankly God does NOT care about what "Krispy Kritter", "ptywama", or neil giuntoli's opinion is. or how strongly we hold these opinions. and I have been very careful, and prayerfully considerate about how I select my words. If they don't make sense to you, maybe the Holy Ghost will interpet them to you for me.
But let me say this again, and very clearly, the "KJV only" argument is a divisive argument, that the enemy just loves to get started among God's children, because it gets them diverted, and gets their eyes off Jesus.
God gifted me with a mind, and there is nothing I love more , then sitting with 4 different versions of His Word in front of me feasting off and praying over the Greek and Hebrew phrasing of a verse.
anyway, I wish all the time that guys gave to this utterly tedious and useless argument, would be spent on their knees in prayer, begging God for revival. |

Neil quote is true... it's too much knowledge and so much wisdom of man is foolishness to God.
Why not spent your agruing point and typing time to dedicate it in prayer and seeking God for the Light in this issue of confusion. as it says in 2 Corinthians 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,...
2 Timothy 2:23 avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife...
1 Timothy 1:4 nor give heed to feebles and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.
Do not let anything have a ground that would cause dis unity in the bretheren of Christ Jesus, Lets join our self as one body of Christ in one Spirit. Join in prayer for there is power in united prayer.
May God bless you all and enlightened your heart through His word. |
