Members quinkie Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 To me, King James only means, I only read the King James Bible, I only read books that use the KJ scripture as references, I only listen to preachers who use the KJ and if I hear the phrase "this is better translated as" I get up and leave.

Members candlelight Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 KJVO is one who holds to the KJV 1611 (Authorized Version) only, for the English speaking peoples of the world. Since I speak the English language only, that would be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators OLD fashioned preacher Posted March 9, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2014 Not going to get into a drawn out discussion, but: KJV (English) RVG (Spanish) (though I do have an 1865 revision of the 1602) Luther (German) Synodal (Russian) keep the bricks in your hand and save them for another day.

Members swathdiver Posted March 10, 2014 Members Share Posted March 10, 2014 The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, the whole world didn't know Hebrew. The New Testament was given to the Jews and the Gentiles in the Greek. The whole world didn't know Greek but it was the universal language of the day. Then the Lord chose to preserve His Word in the English and did so in the King James Bible. The English is the universal language of the world today. So, if you want God's Word in your native tongue, should it be translated from the Received Text or from the King James Bible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members candlelight Posted March 11, 2014 Members Share Posted March 11, 2014 Today we must say, The Original KJ version. I think that might be confusing, TGL, as there are no originals. It might be better to say the KJV 1611 (Authorized Version) or just KJ (Authorized Version). At least that is what I say to people before they look for a Bible. I don't want them to be confused with the NKJV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted March 11, 2014 Members Share Posted March 11, 2014 I simply refer to the KJB. I don't use dates because that can lead to confusion as I've known some who went out to by a KJV 1611 and that's just what they got and they were unable to read it at all. Most of us are using a 1700s edition of the KJB but that typically doesn't need to be addressed. Simply saying "King James Bible" will suffice. For myself, I only use the KJB because the Lord directly said to, not by audible voice, but by His Spirit telling me directly just as clear as day.

Members candlelight Posted March 11, 2014 Members Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have said KJV to people and they buy the NKJV. That is why I specify Authorized Version, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
