SpiritualAnaseptic, none of what you said about Ruckamn is true. He believes abortion is wrong, but that a baby isn't a baby until he breathes his first breath. The rest is absolute hogwash. Your real problem is that you cannot stand the idea of a perfect Bible, or a perfect God which you cannot control. A perfect Bible means you must subjugate yourself it that Bible, and follow it without altering it or making it say what you want or what you feel the Bible ought to say. The facts are what they are. The New King James is a corrupted translation translated from corrupted texts, as are all modern renditions.
As for your childish quip, that is what tends to happen when a man stands before a church and preaches.
If God, being perfect and all powerful could not preserve His Book, He isn't much of a God, now is He?It's all true and easily verified. People who talk about a 'perfect bible', much less suggest it is the KJV show how little they know about the bible.
God's perfection does not require a perfect bible. Human language is imperfect and imprecise.

The book was written in human language. How does God prevent human language from changing without destroying free will?
Don't use my name in one quote and then quote someone else's post below it. It makes it appear as though I said that.
I'm sorry about that. I apologize. I meant no harm.

I would also avoid the RCC Jerusalem Bible due to its inclusion of the apocrypha as scripture.
It's not Roman-Catholic, it doesn't support Transubstantation, it's one of the very few ecumenical Bible versions:
I must have the name wrong then. [...] or early Christian ever saw it as scripture. That is the point I wanted to make about it. Thank you for catching the error.
Well, early Christians read Sirach and 4 Ezra (the latter a book which is not included in the Jerusalem Bible, but is in the Apocrypha appendix in the Revised English Bible) a lot!
So how do You explain that?:
Even the translators of the KJV admitted that the Bible should be presented to the people in the "vulgar" (common, vernacular) form of the language.
