I'm not sure what you mean.
It never says the original creation was perfect, just that it was very good and complete in all it's vast array.My point exactly. I said before just recently about God’s creation and how it is perfect. It is a reflection of a perfect Creator. Just as God’s perfect Word is a reflection of a perfect Creator. For the works of God are perfect.
For the Bible is called the “Holy Bible” and it is not called the “ holey bible.”
So, what if you're not English speaking?
It never says the original creation was perfect, just that it was very good and complete in all it's vast array.
God of course is perfect, but this creation isn't, thus the children of perdition. It will be when he does it the next time but all of creation is gowning in earnest travail, until the sons of God are revealed. It wouldn't be nessacary to recreate the universe if the first one is perfect.“He is the Rock, his work is perfect:” (Deuteronomy 32:4).
God’s work would include the creation.
In fact, it is the context of the previous verses.
Why do you think the KJV has Solomon getting 666 talents of gold in one year from a source -and some new versions have it as - yearly?
Why do you think in some of the new versions it makes no sense and will not fit the story as to they have the beast and the ten kings will burn the harlot city?
Numbers 16:49
“Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.”
=========
Numbers 25:9
“And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.”
The KJV we have today has more than one revision and it does not match up in every verse as to the 1611 version.
You said:You started another thread on this subject. Do you intend to reply there further?
You said:Did you look at Job 3:8 yet? KJV is wrong - it should have - Leviathan -not mourning
I guess the verses where the KJV does transliterate the Name יהוה are errors then, because they break that "tradition" you mentioned.
Didn't Christ have something to say about the traditions of men?
If you want to argue pronunciation, fine. The last letter is debatable.
About the only thing I agree with you on is that I prefer translations that just leave His Name in the Hebrew, which it is a Name.
It is a blatant error to change it to a title or anything but the Name. All of those translations you mentioned come from the Hebrew, and they too are in error. There's a reason we use the Hebrew as the primary source text in most every translation of the Bible, because it's the primary source text from which the others are all translations.
And the verses in the KJV that show a transliteration of the Name prove that it was intentional on man's part, because Yahweh isn't full of contradictions.
Do not bother me again about that ridiculous and profane tradition you bring up, because it steals away the Salvation of the people Christ is talking to in the following verse:
Matthew 23:
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of יהוה.
John 12:
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
God of course is perfect, but this creation isn't, thus the children of perdition. It will be when he does it the next time but all of creation is gowning in earnest travail, until the sons of God are revealed. It wouldn't be nessacary to recreate the universe if the first one is perfect.
In the beginning, Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; They will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end (Heb. 1:10-12)Not perfect, not yet.
It is a sad irony that many of the Christians who champion a high view of biblical inspiration mindlessly use the most corrupt translation based on later error-prone manuscripts. For a list of some of the bogus verses later inserted into the text, see:
Translation errors and forgeries in the Bible
I will focus on the most egregious error, the contrived ending of Mark (16:9-20). NT scholars are unanimous in their verdict that this text, missing in early manuscripts, was added later to compensate for the awkward ending of the original text, which lacks a resurrection appearance of Jesus and which ends by lamenting that the women at the tomb disobeyed the 'young man" in the white robe's instruction to tell the disciples that Jesus is risen and will appear to them in Galilee. In fact, one ancient manuscript of Mark even identifies the forger as Aristo of Pella (c. 150-165 AD). Thus, later Greek manuscripts invent other endings of Mark to remove this Scholars also agree that the style of the Greek of 16:9-20 differs to greatly from Mark's to be authentic.
But let's consider the harm done by the words misattributed to Jesus in 16:17-18 of this spurious interpolation:
"17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
Many KJV Only Appalachian Christians have died and caused other believers to die as a result of the underlined challenge in this text. It is unthinkable that Jesus would identify as a badge of true believers that they would handle deadly snakes and drink deadly poison as a test of their faith. Why would anyone drink deadly poison? This bogus promis is a misapplication of accidents like that noted in Luke 10:19). These "signs" are in any case too bizarre to be credited to the real Jesus.
In the 1600s, the KJV translators lacked access to the earliest and most accurate manuscripts. Many manuscript discoveries have happened since then, giving birth to the science of Text Criticism. This science collects and compares all biblical manuscripts, groups them into families by text type, region, and date, and discovers when and where the thousands of errors have crept into the text. Yet many evangelicals lack the integrity to read any scholarly book on Text Criticism to see how compelling the evidence really is for the modern critical text of the Hebrew and Greek Bibles. Instead, they prefer to impute ungodly liberal motives to scholars who revere the original word and are just trying to recover it as purely and accurately as possible. So when preachers I don't know use the KJV in their preaching, I quickly turn off the radio or TV or stop attending the unenlightened church in question--and that comes from a man who, as a boy, used his paper route money to buy an expensive Thomas Chain Reference KJV Bible, so I could read it from cover to cover. I was hungry for the truth of God's Word, but learned, only later, that this Bible translation was sadly flawed.
