New Cambridge Paragraph Bible

[Doc H]

I believe the KJB is perfect and is the word of God.
I do not believe in advanced revelation. No way, no how.
Read my clarification post a few pages back. Inspiration maintained by way of preservation. The King James Bible's translators just did a really good job going diligently through all the sources and figuring it out for every word. Haven't found them in error yet.
With so much evidence, I believe by a mustard seed of faith that God has preserved His words in the King James Bible.

Samer,

What's your understanding of advanced revelation?

I don't think there's any divine truth in the King James Bible that wasn't in the original manuscripts.

[Will]

Which Textus Receptus? : There are dozens of editions of it.

I assume you're referring to the 1598 Beza?

[kevinmiller]

No.

The KJB is God's word!

I agree. As are many other translations faithful to the TR.

Agreed. :)

[Pastorj]

What are these other translations that are faithful to the TR?

[kevinmiller]

The Geneva Bible, the Tyndale Bible, and possibly a few other precursors to the KJV. Foreign translations that are faithful to the TR are also equally God's Word.

[Samer]

The Tyndale Bible is incomplete, and The Geneva Bible disagrees with the King James in Acts 4:12. ;)

Disagreement with another version is not the issue. If it was disagreement with the underlying texts, that would be the issue.

Excellent post Will! I agree completely.

The context supports Easter over Passover, although both are acceptable translations of pasach. In any case, as the King James differs from the Geneva, I don't see how they can both be right, since Easter is different than Passover, although both are pasach in Greek.

Either way, the arrest occurred after Passover right?

[Samer]

Yes, except that Passover proper was already over at the time of the arrest, and so it would be contextual nonsensical, but that argument could go on forever. :

But Passover is a weeklong feast. It's not a single day event.

If they are both acceptable translations of it then can they not both be correct?

[Guest Guest]

Passover is a single day event. The feast of unleavened bread is the week long event. If a "Bible" doesn't match up with the King James, then the other "Bible" is wrong.
