Where have all the KJV defenders gone?

[tracifish]

I joined this forum because I saw a post by AV1611VET quoted on "Fundies Say The Darnedest Things". I am also quoted on that website.... Anyway, I'm a fairly new KJV defender, and would like to know how many of us there are. In real life, I'm the only one I know...and online, i do know know of many...

 

[Sketcher]

There have been about 50 threads on the KJV already, at least.

 

[tracifish]

...but I'm just asking KJV defenders to introduce themselves to me. I have posted on other KJV threads and they seem to have gone inactive..at least for the time being...

 

[tracifish]

...and, Twisted Sketch...you have not told me where you stand. I'm guessing you are not a KJV defender... you do not seem too happy with this thread.

couldn't tell ya...they must have all gone into hiding...

Wait! You're one! Why don't you say so???

We can only hope so ...

There are a lot online. I used to be KJVO.

I'll defend the KJV as probably the most accurate one in English straight from the Hebrew and Greek. However, I will also use NKJV.

Although I consider myself very picky about Bible tranlsations (as there are a lot of weird ones out there), I don't discredit one's desire to use something a little more modern. Especially for anyone who's new to reading the Bible. God convicts everyone differently as they grow.

Ah, good ol' "Fundies Say the Darndest Things." I'm quoted on there a few times myself. Which is weird, because as far as Bible-believers go, I'm pretty moderate. I don't push political agendas, creationism, or anything else of that nature, and yet I somehow managed to make it on there about four times. I think the latest one was because I said that all non-Christians remain unreconciled with God (though I probably could have phrased it more clearly).

To answer your question, I think that most of the KJV-onlyists are on hiatus right now. There were so many KJVO threads on the Baptist forum that a thirty day ban on any KJVO discussion was imposed. Technically the ban only affects the Baptist forum, but that's where most of the KJV-onlyists spend their time. There are, however, many on this forum. A few who come to mind are TwinCrier, Mesue, BigChrisFilm, Hagios, and RichardT. There are others as well.

As for my position, I am most definitely not KJV-only. I am ESVO, I believe that the 2001 English Standard Version is the only true and specially inspired Bible.

(...that wasn't a very subtle debate-starter, was it?)

I would also like to point out that it's not about "defending the KJV". I don't know anyone particularly who has a problem at all with the KJV. It has been mightily used by God and probably has impacted more lives than any other version, or at least is on the very short list.

The problem comes when people begin to claim KJVO and insinuate that other versions are satanic or sinful. Those are the attitudes and false-teachings that people hate and that stir debate.

The question isn't "is the KJV a good translation", it's "Is the kJV the only acceptable translation?"

Hello tracifish. So good to meet you. I myself am a 100% believer and defender of the KJV. I will also go as far as saying that I (personally,my opinion) believe that all other versions are wrong.(To put it lightly) Have a great day.

Yeah, I've been irritable the last two days. My stance is I'll use the KJV as a study reference, along with other Bibles. If people want to only use that one, fine but don't trash the other good translations if you do. God does mighty works through them.

I'm sorry you have been irritable. Is it anything in particular?

Keep listening...I think you will be shocked. I know I was.

I will not discredit anyone, especially since most people do not know what is behind the other translations. I prefer the KJV...but I also have an NIV...I read it once to read the footnotes, then decided I didn't like it...and that was before I knew anything.

People in my old church use diferent versions, including the pastor...and in the church I'm in now, it is even worse...but this new church may be a ministry for me...

I'm sorry you left....
