Interesting that Wikipedia doesn't mention anything about "idolatry" in its article on KJVO.
Evidently that insult stems from a lower level of maturity than Wikipedia ... eh?
And you guys call yourselves "wise man"?
Perhaps, then, you need to let your friends at Wikipedia know that, in your opinion, KJVO is a form of idolatry, eh?Regardless of which version you happen to read, they all say that *Jesus* (not any particular book) was the *living Word* of God. Why would I (or anyone else) put some specific translation of a book on the same level as Christ, the living *Word* of God?

(I can't believe you really believe this.)
And hopefully you realize that your antiwomanwithchild NIV says:You and I both know that Christ is the 'living Word' of God.
You're a smart man.I go by a much simpler set of rules. In fact, I only have one.
AV said it - that means it is wrong - issue settled.
And hopefully you realize that your antiwomanwithchild NIV says:
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active.
Maybe you should do like I do and pray to It?Jesus Christ is indeed alive and active in many lives even as we speak, but my Bibles are right where I left them, and they haven't budged an inch by themselves.
Ya ... don't you wish the Mayflower Compact, Declaration of Independence, and U.S. Constitution would be rewritten so they're easier to read?
If it weren't for the MCOs, DIOs, and USCO idolatrists, we could have those documents upgraded with missing words, whole passages removed, and gender changes.

We're not asking you to give up your right to think straight and sit and stare blankly at an hypnotic pinwheel.Well, at least you admit that your faith defies logic. ;-) I wish I could ignore logic, sometimes, I really do.
We're not asking you to give up your right to think straight and sit and stare blankly at an hypnotic pinwheel.
We just want you to realize you're a sinner, repent and ask Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Saviour.
Based on over seven and a half years here, I'm now condensing my apologetics down into two simple rules of thumb:
Rule One: Under no circumstances whatsoever is the literal translation of the King James Bible to be contradicted.
If necessary, use even the punctuation therein to defend your point; but never let a point contradict the Bible -- ever.
Rule Two: Seek a logical explanation first; and if that doesn't work, then go with a theological explanation.
Scripture first, followed by basic doctrine, followed by suppositions; but don't let the logical trump the theological.
I don't believe I hold a monopoly on the literal interpretation.Would that be your interpretation which cannot be contradicted?

Ok let me look at the op again.
I researched hypnosis, for use in the treatment of chronic pain (not my own), and found a statement that I think sums up hypnosis nicely:We're not asking you to give up your right to think straight and sit and stare blankly at an hypnotic pinwheel.
We just want you to realize you're a sinner, repent and ask Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Saviour.
Then you can stare all you want.

When I realized Who Its Author is.And how have you come to the idea that the King James Bible is the standard by which reality is to be set?
