I'm not here to debate, but to give a different perspective. The goal is to unite all in the Body of Christ. However, look at the history of the primitive church and you'll get your answer. I refer to Acts 15 in particular. Let me quote from the TDNT. "Now we come to a most difficult area...

That's right. From a post a few years back: "From an Old Testament perspective, William Gulbrod gives the following definition of the Hebrew “Law”: “The Laws are in the strictest sense, the requirements of the God to whom Israel belongs because he has revealed himself in the exodus from...

As far as the Decalogue and Torah is concerned, you need to read Ex. 20:2 again. God Bless Till all are one.

Once again, that is "Off topic" for this discussion. The Codex Sinaiticus was never under consideration when the "Authorized Version" was coming into being. So, once again, I ask that you deal with the discussion at hand. Any more posts about the Codex Sinaiticus will be considered as...

Now, to borrow an old phrase: "here is where the rubber hits the road". As I stated previously, Sinaiticus was not a souce used or even considered when the "Authorized Version" was being written. In fact, Codex Sinaiticus wasn't "discovered" until sometime around 1843. Some 232 years later...

"Simonides’ mastery of written Greek came much later than would appear to be indicated by his newspaper smear campaign articles, for he was still incapable of writing these articles in the 1840s entirely from his own resources. Tracing this back, we find that the monks at the Panteleimon...

And you chose to ignore what the Rabbi says. Hum... Ok, since you have labled me a liar, have you lived your entire life and not told one single lie? Be careful slinging lables around. And yet, that "forger" did it the rest of his life. Here again, that is "off topic" for this discussion...

What's wrong with letting people use the version they were raised on? I was raised on the KJV, however, when I was voted on to be a deacon and elder, the deacon that took me under his wing used the RSV. I never said it was wrong. I did say however: If the KJV is the "only" version allowed...

Yes it is. "Many people believe that the ancient Hebrew text of Scripture was divinely preserved for many centuries, and was ultimately recorded in what we now call the “Masoretic Text”. But what did the Masoretes themselves believe? Did they believe they were perfectly preserving the ancient...

You want to know what's really funny? Anybody who has studied the KJV KNOWS the Masoretic text is the underlining text for the entire Old Testament. As early as AD 160, the Masorites freely admit they HAD a "corrupted text". From AD 160 to AD 1200, it was still a "corrupted text". No matter...

No. You really believe that every seminary should make the KJV the ONLY version that is allowed to be taught from? Seriously?!? God Bless Till all are one.

But that is not a faithful translation of the Greek as it is suggested throughout this thread. God Bless Till all are one.

I have never argued against: Now as of 2003, I was in seminary and there was no "standard" such as the KJV. Whatever version you used, that was OK. However, I did get into a very heated debate with one of my teachers over the NIV. God Bless Till all are one.

Here again, if a person comes out and says they prefer the KJV, that's one thing. The KJV is my preferred bible. But to believe the KJVOnly myth is a total different matter. The Masorites did use the Seder Olam Rabbah. It was for easiler terms, the dateline for Jews. If you follow the...

Did the Masorites "faithfully" copy the text as you suggest? You miss the point. The KJ translators were told by King James to follow the words of the previous bibles unless necessity dictates the change. And, up until Tyndale and Wycliffe, the phrase used for "Holy Spirit" was hagios pnemua...

While it may be under the old covenant, here is where we will disagree. Moses is on Mt. Sinai for his meeting with God. In Ex.20:2, we have this: "I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage." And starting in the very next verse, we...

From the first writing of Luke's book of Acts, every "gospel" used his term in reference to the third person of the Trinity. "Holy Spirit". There are no references prior to AD 1200 of the phrase "Holy Ghost" in reference to the third person of the Trinity. I could care less about: Which, as...

This will not be popular, but it has to be said. To whom was the Decalogue addressed to? Hint: the answer is in Ex. 20:2. God Bless Till all are one.

Like many others here, I was raised in a Baptist church. Been a Baptist about 44 years. I am now a Baptist because I believe everything taught by Baptists, especially in regards to theology, is scripturally correct. And that it follows as close as possible to scripture. I preach about 45...

What we are objecting to is your belief that not only were the Apostles "inspired" by the Holy Spirit to write what they did, but that that "inspiration" extended to every scribe that copied the text. And there is no proof to that whatsoever. God Bless Till all are one.
