Greetings Ken John! Thanks for the response my friend! Allow me to ask a couple of more questions. 1) Which version of the KJV is the 'very Word of God preserved to this day'? Was it the first? Were the misprints the very Word of God as well? 2) How was the text of the TR arrived at my friend? How many manuscripts was it based upon? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Tim, As you are probably aware there is much debate on the question of the various bible versions and I am sure that you, as a student of Scripture, have the ability to find the answers you are looking for in 1) and 2). Study and pray and you will find that the King James Authorised Bible is a pretty accurate translation. Many cannot seemingly walk by Faith. They want proof! I believe that we have ample proof that the Authorised Version is the very Word of God, preserved and given to us in the English language. God promised to preserve His Word! Read Psalm 12:6,7. Also 1Peter1:25 and Luke 21:33 From my heart I say to you, that WORD is nearer to you than you think! I believe it is the Bible,The Authorised Version, or the commonly termed King James Version. I am a Fundamentalist and KNOW that God wrote a BOOK. The Conservative believes that God wrote a book. The New Evangelical thinks(with much question and misgiving) that God might have written a book. The Modernist and the Liberal say that "The Bible contains the Word of God, but not all of it is His Word." If the KJV is not the book that God wrote, where is it today? Brother Tim, time for all of us is valuable so is it not more beneficial for us to rather spend it on studying God Word,as Paul advised us in 2Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Amen and AMEN. Your brother in Christ Jesus, Ken John. Philippians 1:6. |

Greetings Ken! Thanks for the response my friend! As you may have already deduced, the purpose of my questions was to determine your understanding of how the Bible was actually transmitted. God didn't write a Book. He inspired many different writers over a period of thousands of years to write many books. Now, let there be no doubt that I believe in God's word. It is inerrant. It is the only rule of faith and practice. However, the inerrant, inspired Word of God only applies to the original autographs, not the copies made of them, and certainly not the translations made of them. So, the point of the questions was quite simple. There is nothing unique about the KJV as compared with the NIV, or the NASB, ect.... Every translation must first look at the available manuscripts and then determine which Hebrew and Greek text the translator will translate. Not every manuscript agrees with every other manuscript. The TR was put together in the same manner as the UBS, or the Nestle Aland, or the Westcot and Hort text. The only difference is that the TR only had a handful of manuscripts to use whereas these others had many thousands of manuscripts to use. The TR was not handed down whole through time, someone had to make textual decisions about it. The KJV translators were not any more inspired than the NIV translators, or myself. :-) I haven't seen any translation that I agree with 100 percent. In the KJV, 2 Tim. 2:15 is a good example of a bad translation. The word 'study' simply does not appear anywhere in the verse. In the NIV, there are also examples of bad translations. I do agree that we need to study God's Word my friend, but the work of the translators is only God's Word to the extent that they were faithful to what God's Word actually said. :-) If, at anytime, you would like to discuss this further, I would be more than happy to do so. Until then, I hope that we will get to interact on other issues my friend! My God richly bless you! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
