The Bible and Biblical Issues

[speerjp1]

Not all Baptists believe in the doctrine of Final Authority' date=' but as an Independent Fundamental Baptist, I do. When God says it, I believe it, and that settles it. [/quote']

But with one little change: God says it, that settles it. :thumb

Yep - and then we can add "I believe it!" :Green

I think that all life's difficulties seem to eventually boil down to the single issue of "Final Authority" - if one accepts that the KJV Bible is the Final Authority, then that is all that is needed. If one needs to find out what God thinks about something, read the Bible, study and pray, that is as simple as it can get.

When one does not accept the KJV Bible as the Final Authority, and starts digging through several other MVs, things get all confused, because none of them will agree with each other. God is not the author of confusion.

Okay fair enough.

I see what you are saying. Usually i just use a simple translation for reading and compare translations and read the original texts when studying. I guess it would be easier to just have 1 translation that you can do all that from but as I have said before I have trouble understanding the KJB at some points and also question whether a word was used differently now as it was when it was written. Luckily Right now I am learning greek and then hoping to learn hebrew so i shouldn't need to worry about the KJB vs MVs situation after that.

but i shall get off this side track now for I know there are a million other threads to discuss this.
