1 | How do we get our Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | tomsweetstir | 81067 | ||
Hello Tim, Your “How did we get our Bible” is wonderful. Thank you for taking the time it took. I assure you, your efforts were well worth all that time. Ralph Woodrow has written some interesting books. One, “Reckless Rumors, Misinformation, Doomsday Delusions” points out some interesting facts about the KJV only problem. He discounts the reckless rumor of those who “demonize” all other versions. KJV mentions the name of Jesus 983 times. The rest of any “reference” to Jesus is translated “HE”. The NIV mentions the name of Jesus 1,275 times. So which would “seem to be from Satan”? :) In Woodrow’s book “Amazing Discoveries within the Book of Books”, he points out “reformers” like John Huss, Wm Tyndale, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, etc. ALL DIED before 1611. WHICH translation did they glean truth from. IT WASN'T KJV. Many translators predated King James’. Tyndale translated from Greek to English in 1536. Wyclif translated from Latin to English around 1384. A "1599" translation is available on the net. Speaking of Wyclif’s, we can be grateful, his isn’t the one we “use” today. Matthew 7:1, 2 would read: “Nyl yee deme, that yee be no demede, for in what dome yee demen, yee schulen be demede.” Don’t forget, THIS IS ENGLISH. :) I’m so grateful. Aren’t you? :) Or, for example, the Tyndale’s 1536 translation. 1 Cor. 13:6 … “reioyseth not in iniquite…” Most of those who stand by KJV, rather than “modern revisions” don’t realize that 1611’s underwent major revisions in 1629 and in 1638. In 1762, Thomas Paris corrected many errors, and in 1769, Benjamin Blayney revised it again. Blessings to you, Tim. AND THANKS !!! Tom P.S. I use KJV most, but certainly not all the time. |

No major revisions of KJV Tom: You write: 'Most of those who stand by KJV, rather than “modern revisions” don’t realize that 1611’s underwent major revisions in 1629 and in 1638. In 1762, Thomas Paris corrected many errors, and in 1769, Benjamin Blayney revised it again." Tom, I appreciate your participation in the forum. I have nothing against you. Please know that this post is not meant in any way to criticize you personally. Nor is it an attack upon you or what you posted. However, it is not true that the King James version underwent four (or any) major revisions. My intent here is merely to set the record straight. I want all to know that I am definitely not a KJV-Only advocate. No way. Grace and peace, Radioman2 - - - - - - - - - - "The King James Bible of 1611 has not undergone four (or any) major revisions. "Just as the first two so-called revisions were actually two stages of one process--the purification of early printing errors--so the last two [1762 and 1769] so-called revisions were two stages in another process--the standardization of the spelling. . .The thousands of alleged changes are spelling changes made to match the established correct forms. ... Suffice it to say at this time that the tale of four major revisions is truly a fraud and a myth." (From The King James Bible Page). Read the entire article at (http://staggs.pair.com/kjbp/) |
