KJV is a good translation but it is not infallible.
And true to God's word, we have trustworthy, reliable, copies of the original manuscripts from which the KJV of the Bible is translated. And we can reference them when we have questions about a translated KJB word, a theologian's interpretation,
or an introduction of a word that doesn't belong. For example:
Revelation 13:18
- "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
By this examination of the original copy, we know that this verse actually says,
the number 666 is the number of man, and not the number of
"A" man as it has been translated.
There is no article 'a' there, just as there is none in any other verse with the exact same construction. i.e.,
Romans 2:9
- "Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of Man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;"
Or again, as we see demonstrated in Corinthians:
1st Corinthians 2:9
- "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart Of Man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
See? There is NO ARTICLE "a" there, just as there is none in Revelation chapter 13. Or again, as seen in such contexts as Revelation chapter one:
Revelation 1:13
- "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks, one like unto the Son Of Man..."
Not the Son of "a" man, but the Son of Man. But I digress. I simply want to demonstrate that we know this "because" we have the
actual original "copies" of the originals. Without them, one might surmise that God was talking about the number of a "particular" Man, rather than the number of man (Mankind). We know this because not one jot or title of God's word has been lost. Selah
Now...based on your insistence of "A" man in order to protect your flawed doctrine, let's test your
wisdom on this to see if this comes from God. Tell us how do you
count the number of "a" man since God said it is also the number of the beast and his number is Six Hundred Three score and six. So...
how do you count that single number of "a" man then? Let's hear this from you!
