1 | KJV the ONLY authentic Word of God? | 1 Thess 5:21 | kalos | 125468 | ||
KJV the ONLY authentic Word of God? 'I do not disparage the King James Version. But I find the claim that it is the only authentic Word of God odd for several reasons. One is that this would mean the translation is authentic, but the Hebrew and Greeks texts from which it was translated are not. Another is that it would mean there was no authentic Word of God until 1611, more than a millennium and a half after Christ’s life! Finally, it would mean that people who speak French, German, or Urdu could read the authentic Word of God only in this archaic English version.' ____________________ King James authorized his version, not God Date: 6/9/00 Comments By Rev.

Good point. If it's only one thing we should learn from all this discussion is that no one translation of God's Word should be put on a pedestal for very long. Language throughout the world (especially the modern world) is just too dynamic with too many changes to allow for such a thing. The item that we DO need to put on a pedestal forever for each of us is God's Word Itself, the message, the Good News of Salvation through Christ. We must devote ourselves to study God's Word all our lives, to include all translations and give each one its proper credit. When the translators do a good job, it will become evident in the study and comparison with all the others. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
