Bible Note: Greetings Rferg, I'm not sure what to make of your post.. The confusion begins with "I believe the KJ version of the Bible is perfect, because I serve a God who is perfect" and it gets more confusing from then on.. The King James Version of the Bible was not "inspired" or hand-written by God Himself. It is a revision of the manuscripts that are handed down to us, which are in themselves copies of what was first inspired. As for your commentary on John 3:16 and Acts 2:41, I fail to follow your reasoning, and it just doesn't make any sense. I am at a loss to understand the point that you tried to make in your last paragraph. Sorry, but I do not believe that you will be successful in proving to me that water baptism is essential to salvation. Blessings to you, Makarios |
