   Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Heb 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. Heb 6:3 And this will we do, if God permit. Heb 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Heb 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, Heb 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they …

   This board is a KJB board. It beleives that the KJB is withour proven error. If you beleive that there could have been a better translation, you are entitled to that belief, but we are not interested in that opinion. Lately I have noticed a few posters that are obviously not KJB only, making comments about our beloved Bible that asperse doubts on the the text, the underlying TR text, the translators and how they were inconsistent in translating words... etc. If you are of the opinion that the KJB is merely a "good" translation but the Greek or Hebrew can allow you to correct it, then perhaps you should keep that opinion to yourself. Lexicons are not sufficiently au…

   I found this very interesting...A contradiction in the CT + Light on the question of which TR Mt 10:10; Mr 6:8; Lu 9:3 (ASV): no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, NOR STAFF: for the laborer is worthy of his food. and he charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, SAVE A STAFF ONLY; no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse; And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, NEITHER STAFF, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money;neither have two coats. In the CT, there is a plain contradiction in these verses. Matthew 10:10; Lu 9:3 has the Lord forbid taking a staff, while Mark 6:8 allows a staff. The CT is an errant, not an ine…

   Quote from the article: "Every translator knows that their translation has a limited shelf-life, that the theological decisions in the background are temporary and that the language also changes over time," Janssen said. "Basically, as soon as the Bible gets published, we will have to start revising." German Bible Goes Politically Correct Gro

   Could you tell me what might be the 10 most glaring scripture problems with the NIV? Also, why doesn't someone publish a modern translation from the TR, if that would eliminate the simplicity issue? I use KJV, I love it. I love the poetic nature of it...it is like music and makes it easier to remember. It is also beautiful, which translated into our English it would lose those qualities. Hey why doesn't someone translate Shakesphere into modern day English? Now THAT would have helped me a lot in school:)) Oh well, part of the torture we must all endure I guess;/

   Whenever I get into a discussion about the Old Testament, I often hear people say that such-and-such is translated better in the "original Hebrew", or that I need to look at the Hebrew for the "deeper meaning". Why would God go through the trouble of preserving his word in English if all it's going to be is a perversion of the "original Hebrew"? God has given us his perfect word in the KJV, and you don't need to be an expert in Greek or Hebrew to understand it.

    This is going to be the official thread for discussion of the KJV, it's inspiration and whether the translators were inspired. This discussion is open to all members! Edit by Admin: This thread was started by PastorJ to stop every Bible thread from turning into a KJVO discussion. Other threads that turn into a KJVO debate will be removed.

    The Lord's Blessing on the KJV

    • 641 views

    Greetings. Praise the Lord! One thing I have noticed as regards modernist attacks on the integrity of the KJV is that they tend to avoid the fact that the Lord has so richly blessed many generations by way of the KJV Bible. Many fail altogether to make a connection between the apostasy of our times and the modern business of cranking out corrupted, and contradictory, bogus bibles. It is becoming rather obvious however that many believers are indeed being confused and adversely affected by this proliferation of corrupted texts which represent a most ungodly resurgence of old Gnostic (Arian) perversions of Holy scripture. I have a personal testimony as regards the Lord's …

    The Passover

    I saw a lot of banter over the word "Easter" in Acts 12 and several who claim to be satisfied that the KJB is a good translation, have suggested however that the KJB is in error. I can respect a man who says he is not KJB only, or is KJB preferred. I mean, I don't agree with their position, but I can leave it alone. But I cannot accept the idea that the KJB has an error. I thought I'd do a study on the word passover and put the results here. I am not posting this against any one's post or any one certain remark I read. I am not trying to force an opinion on anyone or looking to argue over 13 or 14 pages of threads. This is what I see in the Bible. You may ac…

    I am really confused about Bible History before the TR. The original NT was penned in Greek, correct? How much of the oringal writings are available to us? How many copies of the original mauscripts are there? Where were/are they? Where are they now? Do these copies of the orignal match? Let me stop there for now cause I need to get that straight before I can go further.

    Criticism of the Gospels

    Don't know where exactly this should go so I put it here on this forum. I did a thesis I did a while back concerning the Historicity of the Gospels and how "ironically" has been criticized not by "skeptics," but biblical scholars. One expects atheists and agnostics to deny the historicity of the Gospels. However, some of the most vigorous criticism comes not from skeptics, but from so-called "Christian" scholars teaching in seminaries. These scholars accept the teachings of Jesus (at least the ones they agree with) but generally deny the miraculous aspects of his life including the resurrection. What is sad is that these teachings have influenced the education of a centur…

    I posted this elswhere and thought I'd post it here too. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE? [*]It's one of the few books that makes the claim to be the Word of God. The phrases, "Thus says the Lord," or "the Word of the Lord" are used hundreds of times. It claims to be the uniquely inspired communication from our Creator to us: All Scripture is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16). [*]The amazing unity of the Bible: it is unique. It was written by forty authors from different backgrounds over 1500 years and yet reads like it was written by one author. [*] People have heard that the text of the Bible has been corrupted over the centuries, but the Hebrew Scriptures hav…

    Has anyone heard of it? I read up on it a while ago, and it seemed interesting, and would be much more readable. Here is a link. Reading up on it again in a Wikipedia article, I found out some interesting changes they have made, besides putting the text in paragraphs, just want to see your thoughts on this: *Divides the text into paragraphs (and poetic line-divisions for poetic portions like the Psalms); *Introduces modern spelling in preference to that of the 18th century--"assuaged" rather than "asswaged," "music" rather than "musick," "show" instead of "shew," etc.; *Adds quotation marks for dialogue and words indicated as spoken in the Bible text; *Restores…

    I've made use of the search feature, but haven't found much regarding this potential issue. I apologize if this is a foolish question and the solution is obvious, but here goes: My wife and I use only the King James Bible. We both utilize several different copies and software packages on a regular basis. Lately, I've noticed some variance in word usage, spelling, and capitalization among them. I looked further into the issue only to find more differences and become more confused. I've included a small list: Genesis 1:2, etc: spirit/Spirit Genesis 6:5: God/GOD 2 Chronicles 33:19: sin/sins Job 41:18: sneezes/sneezings/neesings Isaiah 63:2: winefat/winevat/wine…
