The KJV Is Unchanged

Every popular new version has undergone major revision. The American Standard was updated to the New American Standard. The New American Standard has now been revised again. Each time, several words were changed.

Also, the NIV has undergone a few different revisions. Each revision has resulted in new wording.

Purchase a copy of the NIV, NASV, LIV, or any of a number of other popular new versions and compare them to the originally published version of the same translation and you will see many words have changed. Then, buy a KJV at any bookstore and compare it to a KJV from 1611 and you will see that EVERY word is the same.

Many have claimed that since the KJV was "revised" several times between 1611 and 1769 that is why it was again necessary to "revise" it in 1881, 1901, 1981, etc. However, in using this logic, the new version advocates misrepresent the facts.

None of the "revisions" of the KJV between 1611 and 1769 resulted in the addition, subtraction, and or replacement of one word.

At one point the KJV was "revised" to add marginal notes but this did not change the text at all. Another "revision" was made to reflect the addition of the letter "S" to the English alphabet. This revision resulted in the word "Psalms" being changed from "Pfalms" to "Psalms" and other similar changes. Obviously, the wording did not change. A similar revision took place when the letter "J" was added to our alphabet.

The biggest revision took place when spelling was standardized in the English language. This resulted in over 20,000 changes. However, the examples given will illustrate that not one word was changed: "asswaged" was changed to "assuaged," "mortar" was changed to "morter," "plaister" to "plaster," "grashoppers" to "grasshoppers," "cuckow" to "cockoo," "flotes" to "floats," "soape" to "soap," etc.

So whereas a "revision" by modern translators means that you have to change hundreds of words, the word changes in all of the new versions adds up to far more than 20,000 changes, the "revisions" in the King James Bible have not resulted in a single word change. The King James Bible in print today is the "revised" edition of 1769. Take away the marginal notes (which are not a part of the text anyway) and take into consideration the difference in spelling and you will have the King James Bible of 1611. EVERY WORD is the SAME. Had the new version translators got it right the first time, as did the KJV translators, their would not be a need for them to continously revise their work and change the wording.

For the record, the New King James (NKJV) is not simply a 1980's revivion of the 1769 KJV. It is a complete adulteration of the text. Many words were changed and the result is that the NKJV reads more like a NASV than it does a KJV. The NKJV should not be considered to be a KJV!!

Can anyone answer these questions?

1. Why would God inspire the originals and then not preserve them as promised -
(note: I am talking about the words, not the papers, pieces, etc?)
I firmly believe God is still at work in perserving his word, and didn't cease operations in 1611.

2. If you claim God has allowed some errors in the Bible today, why do you not afford Him for making some errors in the originals?
Inerrency extends only as far as the autographs, and does not extend to coied manuscripts, or translations. There fore you would be claiming an errancy position if you allowed that God made errors in the autographs. I don't hold that.

3. Isn't the kind of faith you have "convenient" since it cannot be tested? After all, since all the perfect set of originals are LOST or either DESTROYED, you can rest safely in the fact that you can be challenged, but you will never be proven wrong
since the EVIDENCE needed to prove you wrong (the "lost originals") is lost.
Faith in a specific translation of the Bible isn't the same as faith in God. (another little red herring)... (The scriptures say 'test everything, hold onto the good'... )

The same argument can be made for the KJV-only camp... Since the evidence for a string of documents back to the originals is lost, no matter if they came form Alexandria, or Antioch.

4. Are you afraid to dare put the same faith in a Bible available today?
Are you? Why put your faith in a book, when you can put your faith in God?

5. Isn't it a fact that to believe in a perfect set of originals, but not believe in a perfect English Bible, is to believe NOTHING at all?
No, that sir, is your opinion. An opinion not shared by the translators of the KJV.
6. To enforce a "convenient faith," would you go so far as to say, as others have said, that what God actually meant in Ps. 119:89 is that He preserved His perfect Bible in a library up in Heaven, and not on earth?
I'm not quite getting what you mean by 'enforcing' faith, any clarifications?

PS 119:89 "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven."

is this the same word that is:

PS 119:105 "Thy word is a lampl unto my feet, and a light unto my path. "

Or is it hidden in the psalmsters heart:

PS 119:11 "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."

Paul says: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Col 3:16)

So perhaps this word is God's living word and doesn't reside in print in some book, but resides in our heart, and is revealed by the Helper, the Counselor, God the Holy Spirit.

7. If this is true, then didn't God write a book to Himself, and not to man?
doesn't follow... does an author write a book for himself, for a publisher, or for the public?
8. What is Scripture?
The sacred writings of God.

what is YOUR definintion of Scripture, ed?

9. WHO taught you the King James Bible is not the word of God?
No one is claiming that the KJV is not a good version of the Bible, nor the word of God (as a written word, since the word (logos) is more often referred to as God the Son, or at least the Apostle John thought so)... We are only claiming that the KJV isn't the exclusive word of God. ymmv.

10. If "Scripture(s)" refers to the "original manuscripts,"
then wasn't Jesus really being deceptive to His listeners?
(Matt. 21:42; 22:29; Mk. 12:10,24; Lk. 24:27; Jn. 2:22; 7:38, 42; 19:37; 20:9 etc.)
So from your position, Jesus was preaching from the KJV? HE didn't even have ANY NT manuscripts to claim as scripture... so toss out everything after Malachi... another Non Sequiter...

11. If you claim the King James has errors, then I would have to conclude the King James Bible is not the inerrant Bible.
What is? The NASV? The NKJV? The LB? The NEB? The ASV? The JB? The NAB? The NWT, etc. etc. etc.?
He is catching ON.... wow...

None of them is the inerrant Bible... all of them are translations, that the Holy Spirit can use to reveal the living word of God, and all is "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

12. Since most Bible colleges and insitutes believe only the originals are inspired, aren't they really teaching a form of Deism?
Aren't KJV-only adherents preaching a form of idolotry? Or since they believe God no longer works to preserve his word, and ceased operations in 1611, aren't THEY preaching Deism?

at any rate:

Peace.

The starting point of apostasy

The questioning of the Bible's preservation is the starting point of all
other kinds of apostasy. Satan in Genesis 3 did not begin his attack by
questioning whether there was a God, or whether God created, or whether
the doctrine of the Trinity is true. Nor did it begin with the question
of whether God's word was inspired in the originals. Apostasy began when
Satan asked Eve, "Yea hath God said?" "Eve, are you certain that you
presently have a full recollection of what God said?" When doubt was
given a bridgehead at this point, the other defenses soon fell. The same
principle applies today: Has God preserved His word and kept intact His
original work of inspiration or has He not? It is a fact that the one
common denominator in all the varied errors, deviations, and heresies is
that their advocates will first criticize the standard received edition
or translation of Scripture

Wolseley; thanks for your answer, I'm satrting to get the picture...

In the Swedish-speaking parts of Europe it's the same problem. We have to "main" translations that are "fighting"...The first on is People's Bible(or Folk's Bible) taht were published 1998, it has a new translation of both O and N testament. Then we have the "church" translation; Bible 2000, that came 1999. The Lutheran church use Bible 2000, still many wont to even hold that Bible. The old church-Bible is 1917;s translation and Bible 2000 is an updated version of that one. I have Folk's Bible and I like it, I found it as the word of God, I still know that no translation is perfect. I will not start blaiming on these Bibles, I don't use Bible 2000, and I don't want my friend to read it neither. But it still can bring people to God. And that is the most important, even if there is things that aren't according to what I've got revealed in my heart that is the will of God. So I think we have the same problem as you...

Keep in mind that translations, like rumours, can change the entire meaning. Todays society is based on a "feelgood" mentality..... a "do not offend" society. Yet, it all became blurry. Now christians are considered intolerant by the liberal media, and the labeling grows. Now the media has established homosexuality as an "alternative lifestyle". Our children are being brainwashed in schools... and the latest..... a gender neutral version of the Bible. Now this version of the bible is not the cause; but the effect of liberal brainwashing.

ed, ed, ed.... did you read ANY of Navigator's post? Be honest with me ed; speak truth to me ed. Don't hide behind another one of your SPAM jobs. Why won't you address Navigator's post directly, instead of spinning off into another article? :confused:

I'll tell you what I think ed. I think you don't directly address posts because you lack any immediate form of defense. Ya know, I MIGHT consider some of your arguments if you had ANY sources, or if you had ANY logical, centralized, coherent themes to present, but you do not. ed, don't waste your time or the time of others by making arguments that have NO references and NO organized, thematic defense.

Furthermore, PLEASE, for the LOVE OF ACADEMIC SANITY, do NOT use any more FARCICAL statements that make your position look like a string of deranged, unsubstantiated semantics.

ed, understand this.... NO ONE is trying to annihilate the Word of God. If anything, the good translations out there like the NASB are trying to be MORE accurate and MORE complete than previous versions!!! What is your deal ed?! Do you not want us to know the ACCURATE MEANINGS and LITERAL WORDINGS of God's Word from the earliest available sources?! ed this is my last post to you. I PRAY that you PLEASE understand that we're not attacking God's Word, just your poor scholarship, which may or may not be intentional.

Why Does it Bother You That I am
King James Only?

The words of the LORD are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
Psalm 12:6,7


Let me ask you to answer the following questions about my position:

1. How many people am I leading to Hell because I believe the AV1611 is infallible?

2. How many young Christians will grow up with a stunted knowledge of the Bible, if I teach them to read it with the belief it is infallible and the very words of God?


3. What is wrong with holding up the AV1611 and telling Bible-believing Christians, "You can trust every word"?

4. How much of my reward will I lose for trusting God to keep his "WORDS" to every generation?

5. If I am not allowed to believe the AV1611 is infallible, then which version should hold that distinction?

6. If no version can hold that distinction, what do you suggest I tell my grand-children the next time they read Psalm 12:6-7?

7. If I am forced to learn Hebrew and Greek before I can study the "words" of God, will you pay for our lessons?

8. Please tell me why you still "preach from" the AV1611 but do not believe it is infallible?

9. Which Bible do you use in your private studies and which one is the "best translation"?

10. Why can't you just leave us "ignorant brethren" alone with our belief in the infallibility of the Scriptures and let us retain the title "Bible-believers", while you could use the title "Bible-correctors and interpreters"?


I know I will continue to receive tons of comments telling me how stupid I am, and how ignorant of the truth I am, and how I am leading my friends astray holding up the "infallible" AV1611. But somehow, I cannot see the Lord condemning me for trusting Him and His promise in Psalm 12:6,7. Can anyone imagine I would make God angry because I believe He has preserved for me His inspired words, just as I believe He has promised?

Come on..... What's wrong with believing the King James Bible Only?

What do YOU have to offer in its place other than confusion - hundreds of different versions all saying different things - hundreds of different Greek texts all saying different things because you DO KNOW that the 'originals' are not available, right? You do know that, I hope!

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Luke 4:4

What do you have to offer us regarding that EVERY word of God that we are to live by?



Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

ed - as for me, there will be no more answering any of your silly, contrived questions. you want to do all the asking and none of the answering. until this becomes a 2-way conversation, just post and reply to yourself if you don't mind. you're wasting valuable internet space and i'm sure valuable database storage to keep your threads alive.

Where is "the Greek Text"

If there is one "heresy" that really strikes an Alexandrian as "blasphemy," it is the homely and perfectly apparent truth that you can use the Authorized English Version to alter "the Greek text," often miscalled "THE ORIGINAL GREEK TEXT" by apostate Fundamentalists who worship scholarship. This confusion of terms was purposely propagated (and originated) by Christian educators for one hundred years to create the illusion that scholars have access to the ORIGINALS, while a layman does not. This Nicolaitan procedure is still carried out and going on in every classroom of every Christian college and university in America today, in 2002 and will continue to do so as years go by.

We all know there is no such thing as "THE GREEK TEXT." There never has been. When John wrote his original "Greek text" (90 A.D.) there wasn't one Greek text on earth that contained Paul's original of 1Thessalonians or Galatians, and if there was it wasn't in any book containing "THE GREEK TEXTS" of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Peter. "THE GREEK TEXT," like Santa Claus and the Big Bad Wolf, is stuck in the chimney. There are about thirty Greek texts: Mill, Walton, Fell, Tischendorf, Griesbach, Semler, Hug, Lachmann, Nestle, Aland, Metzger, Erasmus, Colinaeus, Elzevir, Alford, Souter, Beza, etc.). But the term is a "historic position" because it suggests, without SAYING it, that the ONE ("THE") true Greek text is in the hands of a depraved Bible critic who is altering your King James Bible.

answering questions... becoming a hobby... :)

1. How many people am I leading to Hell because I believe the AV1611 is infallible?
Roughly the same number as I am leading to hell by advocating people read a bible they can easily understand.

2. How many young Christians will grow up with a stunted knowledge of the Bible, if I teach them to read it with the belief it is infallible and the very words of God?
Roughly the same number of young Christians that grow up in a home where Church attendance is Christmas and Easter. Roughly the same number that will never pick up a bible because they have trouble reading at an eighth grade level, and any study of a text in an arcane language seems as folly as long as there is a PlayStation around.

3. What is wrong with holding up the AV1611 and telling Bible-believing Christians, "You can trust every word"?
The same thing that is wrong with holding up a NIV (or insert any other translation) and saying, "You can trust every word!"?

4. How much of my reward will I lose for trusting God to keep his "WORDS" to every generation?
Roughly the same as your loss for insisting that Christians use a particular translation...

5. If I am not allowed to believe the AV1611 is infallible, then which version should hold that distinction?
The autographs. (or at least the Scriptures that Paul was talking to Timothy about... which didn't include any NT texts...)

6. If no version can hold that distinction, what do you suggest I tell my grand-children the next time they read Psalm 12:6-7?
Tell them that God is still active, and God the Spirit resides in Christians to reveal the truth of Scriptures given in what ever translation they can read.

7. If I am forced to learn Hebrew and Greek before I can study the "words" of God, will you pay for our lessons?
Will you pay for my lessons in understanding arcane seventeenth century words, since you find them infalliable... Will you pay for English lessons for those who don't speak English, but instead speak swahili or some other obscure language?

8. Please tell me why you still "preach from" the AV1611 but do not believe it is infallible?
Preaching from something, doesn't require a belief in infallibility... People can preach from a Science text, and even scientists don't find them to be infallible.

9. Which Bible do you use in your private studies and which one is the "best translation"?
Let me list: Darby, ASV, CEV, ESV, ISV, KJV, The Message (a [sup]gasp[/sup] paraphrase), NASB (95 update), NCV, NKJV, NLT, NRSV, GNB, YLT. They each have strengths and weaknesses. I switch back and forth from the NLT (with it [sup]gasp[/sup] gender neutral language) and the NASB, for word studying, I use the NASB, and KJV... you'd probably be surprised how well all of them complement each other... [sub]but then again, I doubt you've even read this far[/sub]

10. Why can't you just leave us "ignorant brethren" alone with our belief in the infallibility of the Scriptures and let us retain the title "Bible-believers", while you could use the title "Bible-correctors and interpreters"?
One, I am a Bible-Believer.

Two, I have no problem with you having a personal belief that the KJV is infallible.

Three, I do have a problem when you start saying that everyone should share your belief, and then SPAM a message board with a long list of KJV ULs and propoganda.

Four, I have never called you ignorant, and if you have felt that I have, I sincerely apologize.

Romans 14:1-4
Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

I'll stand on that...

Peace.

The scriptures show true salvation!
I Corinthians 15:3,4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

People err not knowing the scriptures!
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

The scriptures must be fulfilled!
Matthew 26:54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

Jesus preached the scriptures!
Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Jesus is the one who gives us our understanding of the scriptures!
Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

Scriptures deal with our own eternal life and they testify of the real Jesus Christ!
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Acts 18:28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

Paul reasoned with the scriptures!
Acts 17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

Scriptures were searched daily!
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Scriptures give comfort and hope!
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

The Scriptures prove the correct gospel!
I Corinthians 15:3,4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Timothy knew them as a child!
II Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

People who mess with the scriptures, do so at their own risk!
II Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

We are to live everyday by His words!
Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

We must have His words, not man's words!
I Thessalonnians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

God inspired His words to us with four profitable purposes in mind!
II Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

God promised that you would have them available even today!
Psalms 12:6,7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

okay ed... another question for you to ignore.

If you equate scriptures with the KJ-translation, then how did Paul and Jesus teach from the scriptures?

or is this just more tasty spam...

better to give me a link to follow, and save you the time of retyping or cutting and pasting...

It probably won't do any good. But since this my last post, I'll at least answer a few questions.

[HINT HINT, Ed that means you should consider answering a few questions

Originally posted by edjones
1. How many people am I leading to Hell because I believe the AV1611 is infallible?
No one said you were - unless you say that a person cannot be saved without accepting your position on the KJV - in which case, you are proclaiming a different Gospel (Galatians 1:6-10).

5. If I am not allowed to believe the AV1611 is infallible, then which version should hold that distinction?

Answered that already - the autographs are inspired, infallible.

7. If I am forced to learn Hebrew and Greek before I can study the "words" of God, will you pay for our lessons?

I have never charged for teaching Greek and Hebrew in the past 20 years.

9. Which Bible do you use in your private studies and which one is the "best translation"?

I use the Greek New Testament (and about 15 translations)
I use the Hebrew Old Testament and a Greek Old Testament (Septuagint) (and about 15 translations)

10. Why can't you just leave us "ignorant brethren" alone with our belief in the infallibility of the Scriptures and let us retain the title "Bible-believers", while you could use the title "Bible-correctors and interpreters"?

Ah, but this isn't the issue. The issue is that you claim that those who use modern translations are condemning people to hell; you have been berating and name-calling anyone who uses a modern translation. And at that point you are calling into question our faith. So, who is leaving whom alone?

I know I will continue to receive tons of comments telling me how stupid I am, and how ignorant of the truth I am, ...

Let's be clear - the issue is not whether someone considers you "stupid" for accepting and believing the promises of God. Anyone who is a Christian faces this kind of insult - but from the world. The issue is that you are not dealing with the integrity of translation, the integrity of evidence, and the integrity of God's Word - despite your frequent postings claiming otherwise. You don't evidence any respect for the translators of the KJV - it's no wonder you have no respect for any other translators.

What do YOU have to offer in its place other than confusion - hundreds of different versions all saying different things - hundreds of different Greek texts all saying different things because you DO KNOW that the 'originals' are not available, right? You do know that, I hope!

And pity those poor translators of the KJV who sincerely believed that their goal was to provide a translation in the language of the people at that time using the best available Greek manuscripts.

Why all the controversy about the King James Bible? Because
modern Christian scholarship has CHANGED the Greek Textus Receptus,
from which the King James Bible was translated, in 6,000 PLACES!

This is why we have so many omissions in the "modern" versions
of the Bible. Words omitted, in brackets, parentheses, or italics,
are counted as NOT AUTHENTIC according to BRAINWASHED modern
scholarship, represented in part by Griesbach, Lachmann, Tischendorf,
Tregelles, Alford, Wordworth, Westcott and Hort.

Here's a list of JUST 200 of these changes. Why don't you go
through this list and see how many have been changed in YOUR Bible?
It might shock you!

MATTHEW

1:25--(FIRSTBORN) is out. Speaking of the Lord Jesus.
5:44--(BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU) is out.
6:13--(KINGDOM, POWER, GLORY) is out.
6:27--(STATURE) is changed to span of life.
6:33--(OF GOD) is out. Referring to the kingdom--
8:29--(JESUS) is out. As Son of God.
9:13--(TO REPENTANCE) is out. Calling sinners--
12:35--(OF THE HEART) is out. Good treasure--
12:47--(VERSE IS OUT) About Christ's mother.
13:51--(JESUS SAID UNTO THEM and LORD) is out.
15:8 --(DRAWETH UNTO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH) is out.
16:3 --(O YE HYPOCRITES) is out.
16:20--(JESUS) is out.
17:21--(VERSE IS OUT). About prayer and fasting.
18:11--(VERSE IS OUT). Tells Jesus came to save.
19:9 --(LAST 11 WORDS ARE OUT). About adultery.
19:17--(GOD) is out. None good but (God).
20:7 --(WHATSOEVER IS RIGHT RECEIVE) is out.
20:16--(MANY BE CALLED BUT FEW CHOSEN) is out.

okay ed... another question for you to ignore.

If you equate scriptures with the KJ-translation, then how did Paul and Jesus teach from the scriptures?

or is this just more tasty spam...

better to give me a link to follow, and save you the time of retyping or cutting and pasting...


It is correct to call a translation of the Bible "the inspired
Word of God," if it is a correct translation from uncorrupted manuscripts.

1. In 2 Timothy 3:15-17, Paul refers to the Scriptures that Timothy had and
calls them inspired.

2. Timothy did not have the originals; he had only a copy. It is possible
that he had the Old Testament in Hebrew, but more likely that he had the
Greek translation of the Old Testament, since his father was a Greek and he
lived in Derbe and/or Lystra, which were definitely Greek-speaking. Every
reference in the New Testament to the scripture refers to copies of the
autographs (original manuscripts) in Hebrew or to translations in Greek. No
one had the autographs at that time.

3. The scriptures which Timothy had were called "holy," that is
different; set apart. They were "set apart" in the sense that they
were inspired and preserved, as God had promised in Psalm 12:6-7; Psalm
100:5 and other places. No other ancient writings could make such a claim;
hence, no other writings could be called "holy."

4. Hebrew 1:8 and 10:5 quote from the Greek translation of the Old
Testament scriptures authoritatively.

5. Hebrews 3:7 states, "the Holy Ghost said ..." and it was in
Greek, not in Hebrew. It does not matter whether one believes that the
author of Hebrews was quoting from the Septuagint or making his own
translation; the fact is that he was writing in Greek and boldly asserted,
"the Holy Ghost said." Why did he not insert Hebrew words at
that point? Obviously, because a translation may be correctly called what
the Holy Ghost said! The same is true of Hebrews 9:8 and 10:15.

6. If only the autographs are inspired, no one has the inspired scripture.
Thus, no one could obey Matthew 4:4, "Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Did God intend
for only those who had the autographs to obey this? Or did He intend for
only those who could read Hebrew and Greek to obey this? The answer must be
obvious to any thinking Christian. When God made this statement, and when
Christ repeated it, did He not know that the scripture would be copied and
translated many times? Again, if only the autographs are inspired, we
cannot obey 2 Timothy 4:2 ("Preach the word"); nor can we obey Revelation
22:18-19 (warnings about adding to and taking away from Scripture). Neither
could we have the benefit of 2 Timothy 3:16-17, being instructed and
"throughly furnished unto all good works."

7. Without the uncorrupted Word of God, we have no salvation. 1 Peter 1:23-
25 teaches that we are born again, of the incorruptible word of God, which
liveth and abideth forever, and states that "this is the word which by the
gospel if preached unto you." Note: THIS IS THE WORD ... that which they
had heard. They had not heard the autographs, but, perhaps copies, and more
likely, translations. Yet he stated that they were born again by the
incorruptible word of God.

Note there is a difference between inspired and infallible. I have no problem calling a translation inspired, because God's spirit will speak the truth even from cracked pots such as us. :)

1. In 2 Timothy 3:15-17, Paul refers to the Scriptures that Timothy had and calls them inspired.

2. Timothy did not have the originals; he had only a copy. It is possible that he had the Old Testament in Hebrew, but more likely that he had the Greek translation of the Old Testament, since his father was a Greek and he lived in Derbe and/or Lystra, which were definitely Greek-speaking. Every reference in the New Testament to the scripture refers to copies of the autographs (original manuscripts) in Hebrew or to translations in Greek. No
one had the autographs at that time.
I agree with both of those statements, and want to add a bit. The texts we refer to as the NT were written in Koine Greek, or 'common greek', not the formal greek, but a language that the common people could understand, even if they weren't schooled in higher learnings.

I certainly agree that they didn't have autographs at that time, and they didn't have autographs in 1611, and we don't have autographs in 2002, and we probably won't have autographs in 2091.

3. The scriptures which Timothy had were called "holy," that is different; set apart. They were "set apart" in the sense that they were inspired and preserved, as God had promised in Psalm 12:6-7; Psalm 100:5 and other places. No other ancient writings could make such a claim; hence, no other writings could be called "holy."

Yes, the scriptures Paul was talking to Timothy about are holy and sacred. They were also copies, manuscripts, and not autographs. What is the thread, that God preserves his word, and he will continue to preserve his sacred word. On the binding of the Bibles I use, they all say 'Holy Bible', although they are of several different translations. They all point to the thread of manuscripts that God has used to tell the world about the redemption he has provided through the sacrifice of his Son.
4. Hebrew 1:8 and 10:5 quote from the Greek translation of the Old Testament scriptures authoritatively.

5. Hebrews 3:7 states, "the Holy Ghost said ..." and it was in
Greek, not in Hebrew. It does not matter whether one believes that the author of Hebrews was quoting from the Septuagint or making his own translation; the fact is that he was writing in Greek and boldly asserted, "the Holy Ghost said." Why did he not insert Hebrew words at that point? Obviously, because a translation may be correctly called what the Holy Ghost said! The same is true of Hebrews 9:8 and 10:15.

Outstanding... a translation can be used... That is exactly the point we've been trying to make. Newer translations are just as reliable and trustworthy as later translations.

6. If only the autographs are inspired, no one has the inspired scripture. Thus, no one could obey Matthew 4:4, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Did God intend for only those who had the autographs to obey this? Or did He intend for only those who could read Hebrew and Greek to obey this? The answer must be
obvious to any thinking Christian. When God made this statement, and when Christ repeated it, did He not know that the scripture would be copied and translated many times? Again, if only the autographs are inspired, we cannot obey 2 Timothy 4:2 ("Preach the word"); nor can we obey Revelation 22:18-19 (warnings about adding to and taking away from Scripture). Neither could we have the benefit of 2 Timothy 3:16-17, being instructed and "throughly furnished unto all good works."
Again, there is a difference between inspired and inerrant. God's word in Scripture is inspired, in that it is 'God breathed', and I fully believe that God breathes life into many translations as he seeks to save those who are lost.

7. Without the uncorrupted Word of God, we have no salvation. 1 Peter 1:23-25 teaches that we are born again, of the incorruptible word of God, which liveth and abideth forever, and states that "this is the word which by the gospel if preached unto you." Note: THIS IS THE WORD ... that which they had heard. They had not heard the autographs, but, perhaps copies, and more likely, translations. Yet he stated that they were born again by the incorruptible word of God.

The incorruptible word of God here is logos, or Jesus. Jesus whose spirit indwells the believer, that breathes life into dead flesh, that springs forth water that when drank will never need to be thirsty again. The incorruptible word is the second person of the Trinity, the author and perfector of our faith, the lamb of God, the good shepherd, the wonderful counselor, mighty God.

This logos is the word rhema, or saying or statement or event that the gospel is preached.

Jesus is the word, the logos. Not the scriptures, not the autographs, not the TR, or the Alexandrian texts...

Jesus.

He is what redeems us, He is what calls us, He is what saves us, He will perfect us, He will sanctify us, He will inspire us. He is infallible, and inerrant...

Jesus...

Peace.
