Bible Discussion Thread

Sorry :) I have another comment about the KJV . I think the reason that many ascribe an almost mythical status to it is because , at the time it was commissioned , and even now I suppose , it would have been an enormous undertaking , costing a lot of money and time etc . Something that only someone with power and wealth would have been able to put in motion , this person happened to be a king , we have all read how God uses people , usually but not always , people with power and money to accomplish His desire and many people then and now , believed and still believe that kings are put in place by God , each person in life fulfills the perpose that God has assigned them . So , going by that logic , God used a king , that He Himself set up , in order to fulfill His purpose of bringing His Word to the masses . It seems quite a reasonable arguement to me , but it's one that I'm staying out of as of now :) .

Hi Jema: I hope you're doing well but I'd like to ask, Is it fair to make a statement and then run away? My belief that the KJB is the only true word, written by God not man ,is real and comes nowhere near mythical; (imaginary, fictious.) I really don't understand how any true believer can't grasp this truth. The Holy Spirit said what He had to say in 1611 and His inspiration doesn't need any help from man in these modern times. Man iis to busy so he believes in these new modern versions because he, for whatever reason, doesn't want to bother with 2 Tim. 2:15. In a sense he has crossed it out of his bible. These versions are a tool of the devil to distract man away from God. We should all be like the example God's word gives us in Psalm 1: 1-2. Just be sure that delight is in God's true word or you could be led astray by the lies of the devil in the NIV, NKJB, ESB, ASB, ETC. I have done an extensive comparison study on the lies these versions tell as a warning but I wonder if anyone will heed the warning.

Hi Momsage , I haven't gone anywhere :) which statement of mine are you asking about ? Lots of people on here make statements , some I agree with and some I don't . I'm not the type who feels the need to discuss every little point , I respect people's right to their own opinion and even if I disagree with them I just don't always feel the need to discuss the point that I disagree with . My posts are a reflection of my personality I suppose :) . I'm a bit of a live and let live kind of person , most of the time :) . I learned a long time ago that the chances of me ever being able to change anyone's opinion about anything are almost nil , so I don't often try .

"I have another comment about the KJV . I think the reason that MANY ascribe an almost mythical status"

A true believer does not believe the bible is mythical, which means made up, they love it in all it's truth and glory. It could have been penned by anyone under God's anointing, but He decided to use king James for the very reasons you give.

"It seems quite a reasonable arguement to me , but it's one that I'm staying out of as of now :)."

You speak your opinion and give what you believe is a reasonable argument but then tell people you won't discuss what they have to say with them. That's your right, of course, but it seems a little unfair to others here because, after all, this is a discussion forum.
