Bible Question:
I have encountered several KJV only radicals with tons of books and tapes that they provide me every week. Without going bankrupt, I'd like a list of free or reasonable resources to give back to them that do not deflate our convitction that God's Word is inspired, but refute their KJV only position. e-mail me your ideas. mjoplin@latigopetro.com |
Bible Answer: QUESTIONS FOR THE KJV-ONLY CULT [One of the best websites that deals with the issue of KJV ONLY is (www.kjvonly.org). A sample of the material available there follows. --Kalos] 'QUESTIONS FOR THE KJV-ONLY CULT 'by Gary R. Hudson '(1) Must we possess a perfectly flawless bible translation in order to call it "the word of God"? If so, how do we know "it" is perfect? If not, why do some "limit" "the word of God" to only ONE "17th Century English" translation? Where was "the word of God" prior to 1611? Did our Pilgrim Fathers have "the word of God" when they brought the GENEVA BIBLE translation with them to North America? '(2) Were the KJV translators "LIARS" for saying that "the very meanest [poorest] translation" is still "the word of God"? '(3) Do you believe that the Hebrew and Greek used for the KJV are "the word of God"? '(4) Do you believe that the Hebrew and Greek underlying the KJV can "correct" the English? '(5) Do you believe that the English of the KJV "corrects" its own Hebrew and Greek texts from which it was translated? '(6) Is ANY translation "inspired"? Is the KJV an "inspired translation"? '(7) Is the KJV "scripture"? Is IT "given by inspiration of God"? [2 Tim. 3:16] '(8) WHEN was the KJV "given by inspiration of God" - 1611... or any of the KJV major/minor revisions in 1613, 1629, 1638, 1644, 1664, 1701, 1744, 1762, 1769, and the last one in 1850? '(9) In what language did Jesus Christ...teach that the Old Testament would be preserved forever according to Matthew 5:18? '(10) Where does the Bible teach that God will perfectly preserve His Word in the form of one seventeenth-century English translation?' ____________________ www.kjvonly.org/gary/questkjv.htm |
