Do you think that this distrust of the Greek text has anything to do with a distrust of educated pastors?

At Ruckman's school, are there courses in Greek and Hebrew? Or just courses in how to translate 16th Century English?

All folks are educated. Some are educated at home, or some at sea, or some alone, or in university. Some of the "best educated" have arrived at the worst conclusions.

Jesus chose those considered uneducated to teach us a lesson.

Always regretted droppin' out of Greek after I flunked the mid-term.

As I am more jaded and cynical, I think it is in large part a desire to keep the power of the hermeneutic in the hands of the person making the KJV-only claim. He who controls the text controls the hermeneutic. And how do you argue with someone who says "that's not what it says in the original" if you don't have any way to dispute it? Say, "Well the KJV is good enough for me."

In the end, it's about control and power.
