Bible Note: Greetings JustAnotherChristian! You have responded in the way that I thought that you would have, since I have encountered those before who think the way that you do. Let's look at Psalm 12:6-7.. My first question is, "Where does Psalm 12 say that the 'words of the LORD' refer to the King James Version of the Bible?" Of course, the verse does not. Secondly, nowhere does this passage tell us HOW God will preserve His words. Does this mean He will do so by ensuring that no one can ever change the substance of those words, or does it mean that He will always make sure that there is one infallible version in one or more languages or translations? The passage does not even begin to address such things concerning Bible versions, or one Bible version in particular, and there is NO WAY to support such a notion. As for Psalm 68:11, a more correct rendering would be: "The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host:" [NASB]. Morever, the 1584 Douay Old Testament, which PRECEDES the KJV, states, "The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power." [Psalm 68:11] In no way does Psalm 68:11 in the KJV support such a notion that God's Word is preserved for all time and to all people, or is inspired through the KJV. In fact, the KJV rendering is entirely misleading in its context, which is another excellent example for a need of revision. Let's see some more! :-) In the meantime, here's something for you to ponder: Does a Russian or Spaniard have to learn English to read the true Word of God?? Makarios |
