1 | Why would you include 1 John 5:7? | 1 John 5:7 | justanotherchristian | 98634 | ||
WARNING re: 1 John 5:7 Rev 22:18-19 (KJV) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. now....... did the God who inspired these words KNOW that the Revelation would eventually be part of a bigger book? I say, YES. I insist that the warning applies: especially when you consider that 1 John and The Revelation were both penned by the same human writer. justanotherchristian jac@jacglobal.net www.apostasynow.com .....have a look at our "missions" program!

Greetings JustanotherChristian, Are you saying that you believe that the KJV itself is "inspired"? - Makarios |

3 | KJV "inspired"?? | 1 John 5:7 | justanotherchristian | 98700 | ||
Makarios - I say (and believe) that theKJV is "inspired" in the lesser sense of the word; very much like when we say that a sermon or a piece of music was "inspired". I do believe that God superintended the translation and revision process for THIS VERSION PARTICULARLY so that it would NOT mislead anyone. When and if you look into the principles of translation that were set out for the 47 men who did this, you will see unique features in the production of the KJV, that are not present in any other translation. The "rules" that King James laid out for them effectively PREVENTED the translators from heavy-handed editorializing in their choice of words. You would be well informed to read the "TRANSLATORS TO THE READER" preface, which is rarely included in any edition of the KJV. I have that on file and can send that you in an email, if you will write to me at jac@jacglobal.net ONE MORE THING - the last people to get their hands on the KJV translation were the poets and linguists... this accounts for the majesty and grandeur of the text, and this also prevented the translators from having a free hand to "bend" the text to suit their preferred doctrines (as much as they would like to). The only other Bible version that was done in a fashion SIMILAR to the KJV is THE NEW ENGLISH BIBLE - and if you are one to compare translations, you will see that the NEB is the most 'eloquent' of all the modern versions. I loved it and read it a lot for a long time - but still, they JUST HAD TO include the damnable errors of Westcott and Hort in that translation, so I cannot give it as a gift or recommend it to anyone but someone who would understand these limitations and weaknesses. I would NEVER give the NEB as a gift to anyone that I did not know intimately. I would really like though, a KJV/NEB parallel Bible - that would be cool! We have a NEB Annotated Study Bible w/Apocrypha here, and everyone takes turns reading it. I still like it - but I hate those notes on the page. The people who composed those notes were out to PROVE that no Bible can be trusted.

And are there any other translations in the world which have the privilege of being "inspired" like the KJV? --Joe! |
