Bible Note: Certainty at any cost? 'A number of arguments have been put forth in defense of King James Onlyism.'...One of these is: 'We can't be certain of what God says unless we possess a single translation (and/or Greek text); that is, [KJV Only-ists claim], discrepancies among versions prove that one is correct and the others false.' 'The desire for absolute certainty when it comes to textual matters, while understandable, is not realistic. History has left us with numerous extant manuscripts. These not only differ from each other, but none are flawless representations of the autographs. Even the King James is not without imperfection. For example, "a dozen or so readings in the KJV find no support in any Greek manuscript whatsoever."[20]' 'Of course, some might be tempted to make the relative complexity of the textual critic's work a reason for skepticism. But Carson notes: 'There is no need for such rigorous pessimism. The vast majority of the manuscript errors have to do with details of orthography, word order, and the like. Moreover, many of the theologically significant variants can be sorted out quite easily by comparing manuscript with manuscript. The result . . . is a certain word from God.[24]' '20. D. A. Carson (The King James Version Debate: A Plea for Realism), 69. '24. Carson, 24.' ____________________ http://www.angelfire.com/pa2/truthandthings/perspect.kjo.html |
