  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

But the KJV is the Word of God; down to the last letter, word or punctuation mark. If not; the things Paul shows us to do to read the scriptures, would not work.

So the word of God did not exist until 1611?

Why do you say that? The Word of God is from the beginning of the Creation. The KJV enabled English speaking people to hear the Word of God, without having to go to the Catholics for it.

Did you know that the original languages - especially Hebrew - lack punctuation? In order to translate these languages much must be supplied by the translators that is lacking in the original text. The KJV translators supplied punction in 1611. What makes you think they didn't get anything wrong?

God’s interpretation is the understanding found when you follow the strings of text, woven throughout the KJV Bible.


It's a shame all the Christians before the KJV didn't have a shot at knowing God's interpretation.

The correct interpretation of scripture is how God in us has us being and loving >

"for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13)

Jesus Himself is "the Word" > John 1:1. Yes, we have the scriptures, but the real interpretation is how Jesus is and loves. And we grow in the true deeper-than-words meaning of the scriptures, by growing in Jesus in us.

"My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you," (Galatians 4:19)

"Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4:17)

So, our scriptural reason to have "boldness in the day of judgment" is not only Bible verses, but how we have been perfected in God's own love, so that "as He is, so are we in this world." So, we need more than people's say-so; we need how God does us so.

No punctuation? Then why did Jesus say, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:18

Love is the answer.

There was certainly no punctuation, and vowels for that matter, when the Torah (the 1st 5 books of the Bible) was written. Hebrew added vowels at a much later time, punctuation came later still. The Koine Greek did have it but not as we use it. Much of the punctuation we have in the Bible today has been added to reflect modern language use, because of this people who can't translate the original for themselves are at the mercy of the translator who may or may not have done it correctly.

BTW Matthew 5:18 actually says from Koine Greek directly into modern English "truly indeed I say to you, until anyhow shall pass away the heaven and the earth, iota or one point, no not shall pass away from the law, until anyhow everything should be manifested."

Yes, the English from the Greek and the Hebrew. This was the only way it could be done, over thousands of years, and men and women. There is a conversation of passages, from Genesis to Revelation. This is the Word of God.

Did you know that the original languages - especially Hebrew - lack punctuation? In order to translate these languages much must be supplied by the translators that is lacking in the original text. The KJV translators supplied punction in 1611. What makes you think they didn't get anything wrong?
It doesn't matter how He did it! What matters is that God has made His Word available to us here in the Twenty-first Century. A reason why I trust in the fact that, "they didn't get anything wrong", is because I believe that, Melchisedec, was involved in the translation. He is king of Salem, priest of the most high God, and is without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Hebrews 7:3

The Koine Greek is irrelevant. Any other version is irrelevant. This is a study of the conversation of passages in the letters of the text of the KJV Bible, God's Interpretation. This is the interpretation referenced in 2 Peter 1:20-21. All, "private interpretations," do not exist.

Ken if the Koine Greek was irrelevant God would have had the NT written in KJV English right from the start to save himself the bother of trying to explain everything to people for 1600 years. Your logic just doesn't hold water.

I have answered that. Now answer my question, are you afraid of the truth?
Please help me understand, will you join in this discussion of the KJV Bible and only the KJV Bible? That is where we will find the truth.
