Bible Note: Thanks, Joe, for your response and it reminds me of an old saw I read once that said, in essence, that when everybody thinks exactly alike, no one thinks very much :-)....... While I'm quite willing to concede the possibility that my remarks may not be precisely germane to the spirit of this thread, would you allow for the possibility that, as I stated, there has been in some theological circles of our time, a distinct erosion of the the spirit of wonder, awe and reverence in which the view of God and His eternal word is held?...... One of the planks in the platform of some proponents of the King James Bible is that in those "good old days" men took a more reverential view of Scripture than they do in our time. I am far from prepared to affirm that the translators of the KJV held any higher view of Scripture than, say, the NASB translation team; or that this presumption by some KJV supporters constitutes a cogent reason to adhere to the KJV above all others; nevertheless, the evidence appears incontrovertible that we do see in some of the hallowed halls of theological academia a definite trend toward replacing traditional views of Scripture, and of Scripture itself, with so-called higher criticism, which in my view, amounts to nothing less than a watering down of the importance that Scripture plays in our faith and practice. --Hank |
