   What About The New Scofield Study Bible? 1 2

   Does anybody know about the New Scofield Study Bible (1967)? I have one, but I also have the 1917 Old Scofield Study Bible. Been trying to figure out what is "new" in the 1967 edition. I see it has a larger concordance and more maps and study helps, but is it different in the notes of the 1917 edition? Of course, I have the KJV--but the New Scofield comes in the NIV and NASB too. Were C.I.Scofield's notes changed?

   Verbal Plenary Inspiration VS the NIV

   I was listening to Dr. J. Vernon McGee on the radio and I heard him explain what Verbal Plenary Inspiration was. I heard him say that the words are inspired. I thought he said that the ideas were not inspired but just that the words were. I thought about it and the NIV is a thought for thought translation (and some say an interpretation) and not a word for word translation. I don't want to penalize someone from getting edification if they can find it in a Bible but it leaves me wondering...

   Aaron and the Ten commandments

   In Sunday School we're studying Moses and the children of Israel. We are at the part where Aaron has made the golden calf and God has told Moses to go back down to the camp because the people had sinned (Exodus 32). My SS literature says that Aaron knew the first two commandments. One of my students asked how he knew if Moses had not come down with the tables of stone yet. I'm ashamed to say that I could not clearly answer this child's question....while Aaron should have known by all that his conscience told him, and I'm sure he knew it was wrong to make an idol.... I looked, but I didn't see where the commandments had been given yet, although chapters 20-31 of Exodu…

   Hey yall, Please don't be mad at me for posting this on this forum (slightly off topic)...but I'm getting my Cambridge Wide Margin Concord in the mail tomorrow, hopefully. What kind of pen should I use to underline in it? Would a regular ol' black ballpoint work or do i need something different to work better with the Cambridge's paper? Thanks! P.S. It's technically a bible question aint it? :D

   1 Peter 2:12 12Be careful how you live among your unbelieving neighbors. Even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will believe and give honor to God when he comes to judge the world.-New Living Translation Is it me or is there something wrong with this verse in the New Living Translation? When God comes to judge the world, I don't know if we will be here or not. The King James uses "behold", the NASB uses "observe", the NIV uses "behold". I know what he is saying. Peter is saying to live our lives so that they change though the New Living Translation implies that it will happen when God comes and not before. We …

    James White - and the KJV 1 2

    Anyone read James R. White's new book and have any comments? Here's what way of life says: Division is caused by those who leave a once held position. Since the King James Bible was the Bible commonly used in most Bible-believing churches for most of the 18th, 19th, and early 20th century, its defenders are not the ones who left a once held position. Yet White writes, "Responsibility must be laid at the door of the KJV Only camp for the destruction of many Christian churches" (p. iv). see article at http://www.wayoflife.org/fbns/newbook.htm

    Found: 1611 KJV Bible, First Edition

    Don't know how interesting this is to anyone, but I thought it to be noteworthy. The University of Manitoba has had in it's posession an old King James Bible for a number of years, but after much diligent study, they have found it to be a first edition, and according to notes in the Bible, appears to have been used by King James himself. I don't worship the Bible, I worship God who wrote it, but I think it would be interesting to flip through it. Here's a link to the article on the U of M website. http://myuminfo.umanitoba.ca/index.asp? ... 5&npa=9728

    I hope these issues have been dealt with on this board before, but I don't know about it as I am new here. In the hope that the friends on this board may gain more knowledge of the Words of God, I would like to suggest to discuss on these issues further. I am not very sure whether what I know is already known to you all or not. So, I would like to point out somethings on LXX first. I notice there is still a difference in Heb 10:5 and Ps 40:6-7. ε

    John 8:38-39 "I speak that which I have seen with MY Father; and ye do that which ye have SEEN with YOUR father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye WERE Abraham's children, YE WOULD DO the works of Abraham." There are two spiritual families. The children of God and the children of the devil. In John 8:44 the Lord Jesus tells these same Pharisees: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do." The readings found in the King James Bible in verses 38-39 are those of the Majority of all Greek texts, and those found in Wycliffe 1395, Tyndale 1525, Coverdale 1535, Bishops' Bible 1568, Geneva …

    Did you know that the KJV text reads at 5th grade level? When you subject the new versions and the King James Version to the Flesch-Kincaid grade level formula, you discover that the King James Version is fifth grade level; the NKJV and the NAS are sixth grade level; Good News for Modern Man is seventh grade level; and the NIV is eight grade level. And you are being taught that the new versions are easier to read! Humm.. Why do they lie?

Judges 21:25 For those who have ears to hear and can see through the Double-Speak, inconsistency and logical fallacies of modern version scholars, the 2001 Holman Christian Standard Bible provides us with several quotes that exemplify the typical, pious sounding BALONEY promoted by those who do not believe IN FACT that any Bible is now the complete, inerrant and 100% true words of God. In the Introduction to the HCSB, the translators describe themselves as "a team of 100 scholars, editors, stylis…

    This was posted in another thread, but I wanted to put it in this forum too: [b]The Heresies of the Modern "Conservative" Translations of the Bible[/b] By Pastor Greg Wilson Many sincere Christians are being led to believe that the modern translations of Scripture are but updates of the King James Bible. Most do not realize that these modern versions are translations of entirely different Greek texts. Nothing could be more deceptive than to present them as updates of the Authorized Version (KJV). The texts used in the modern translations came via the Catholic Church and from ancient Egyptian theologians. These Alexandrian (Egyptian) "Christians" rejected the …
