Admin	King James Bible more accurate than the Original languages?! Huh? What?! Posted : 15 Feb, 2020 08:15 AM King James Onlyist people believe the KJV is the ONLY God inspired version of the Bible. (even though there are many revisions of the KJV). They go so far to say: When the King James Bible was written, God corrected all the mistakes found in the original texts. Good grief, what is next? A flat earth? Ummm.....yeah, actually, yes. Post Reply

I do have other translations other than the KJV . You love to use your buzzwords to discredit any critical thinking debates that confirm the bible you call a "slow eating cancer" Post Reply

Originals are always more accurate, but it's a fair translation. I think as we get more translations, they are becoming less and less accurate and exist more with human biases. Post Reply

There is NO SUCH THING! The "recieved text" is lost to antiquity and the "majority text" is a recent development, dependent on surviving Texts (their age and environment). Post Reply

Posted : 15 Feb, 2020 05:49 PM This is a strange framing of what us King James Bible believers supposedly believe. I'm not even sure what this sentence means. What is believed is that the King James Bible is a perfect translation. It is more accurate than any currently existing Hebrew or Greek text. The objection to this would be that perfect translations are impossible, which is quickly refuted by Acts 22, where Luke translated Paul's Hebrew speech into Greek in the original inerrant text. God is not obliged to preserve His word in any particular language. All evidence points to the Reformation Bible written in the worlds dominant language. You don't need to have a degree in Hebrew or Greek to have a strong understanding of God's word. All you need to do is diligently and prayerfully study it in the common tongue. Post Reply

Posted : 16 Feb, 2020 03:30 AM "Unless you deny that the original scriptures were perfect" The original Scriptures and their subsequent translations are perfect for G-D's use. However that doesn't make them inerrant (without error). The King James is a pretty good literal English translation, no more and no less. Post Reply
