Are you STILL a proponent/advocate/supporter of the kooky "King James Only Bible" movement?

I would be concerned if the KJV was patterned on the Jesuit Bible,rather than the other way around!. All this proves to me is the sovereignity of God in keeping HIS word..

I was listening to a sermon this morning by a Presbyterian Pastor on Romans (WHAT ELSE??) anyway at one point he said he was going to "skip" the next few verses,because they were "mis translated..."You do know", he went on," man unlike God is fallible,and the Bible was edited by men". It is men he said that decide where to put the commas and periods,and in this case they errored.

I sat down on my bed and LOL..Here is a man that professes the sovereignity of God..but does not believe that God could protect His word from the mistakes of man..

There is a reason that the KJV has been the standard for generations..

To Matchett-PI-the Jesuit bible comes from a different text, no matter how they tried to make it sound like a King James.

Here is one example-Col.2:18-the King James reads,...intruding into those things which he hath NOT seen'

the Catholic readings (in ALL new versions (NKJV footnotes the N/UBS reading)is ...intruding into those things which he HATH seen' Two different readings, two different bibles.

The TR is the Bible of the Reformation and it overthrew the critical text Vulgate that had plunged Europe into the Dark Ages.

If you do not think Bibles matter, look at the countries still dominated by Rome and their bible.

Rome understood the importance of the differences and that is why they will never tolerate the King James, or the TR and the Erasmus text was placed in the Catholic index of forbidden books.

Now, the Catholic church, unable to kill those who read the Book, have taken a different approach, they simply put out enough counterfeits (using their text) to make the simple and naive think that all bibles are the same.

We can thank the Princton school of Hodge and B.B. Warfield with their 'originals only' being inspired nonsense for aiding this assault on the greatest Book ever written-the King James Bible 1611!

Even so, come Lord Jesus
