Subject: What about the King James Only movement? |
Bible Note: What about the King James Only movement? 'King James Only' literature "non-Christian and illogical" [The following is quoted from The World English Bible (WEB) FAQ.] 'May God open their eyes and give them a sound understanding. 'If you prefer the King James Version of the Holy Bible, then, by all means, read it and do what it teaches. I think that the KJV was a wonderful Contemporary English translation of the Holy Bible when it came out. It has been mightily used by God and has had (and continues to have) a profoundly good impact. Unfortunately, the evolution of the English language continually erodes its value as time goes on. It is now outsold by the excellent New International Version, for many good reasons. 'I guess that there are a few people that seem to believe that the KJV is more accurate than the original Hebrew and Greek of the Holy Bible, and that all the other versions are tainted with heresy and conspiracy. I’ve read some of their literature. I found it to be some of the most non-Christian and illogical literature that I have endured, thus further proving the claim that the KJV is the only valid Bible to be wrong, at least in my mind. I guess I’ve now put myself on record as being a heretic in their eyes, but I must follow God, rather than men.' ____________________ http://ebible.org/bible/web/webfaq.htm#KJVOnly 1th521 |
