The KJV is not the "only Bible", but it is the Bible in English, or the Scriptures in English and should be BELIEVED instead of doubted, denied and mocked in words, phrases and verses.

I do not mock the KJV. I do not even mock those who are KJVO. I do however point out the false teaching that surrounds it. I believe their are many good Christians who are KJVO. Why would I want to mock another Christian. I do not think that would be Christ-like at all.

They overlook that fact that the KJV translators were nothing more than Catholics under a different name.

This is a blatant falsehood.

Check your histroy again. The king did not seperate from the Pope over doctorine. He seperated due to the fact the Pope would not allow him to divorce his wife to marry another.

Quote:
They overlook that fact that King James only authorized the KJVs creation to slap the Pope in the face.

Another blatant falsehood.

You are right however it was not blatant. I appologize. I worded this badly. The KJV's bloodline comes from the Bible which was met to be a slap in the face to the Pope. It started with the Great Bibe, then to the Bishops Bible, and then the KJV. So again, not a blatant falsehood but poorly worded.

They overlook that there were Protestants around who actually believed the Bible much more than the KJV translators and that they had produced Bibles. The biggest name of all this was the Geneva but one cannot forget about Tyndale.

Must have been refreshing times when "there were Protestants around who actually believed the Bible". Seems the "Protestants" on this board are having a hard time with that one.

You like the Geneva and Tyndale do you? Even with "baptism", "bishop", 1 John 5:7, 1 Timothy 3:16... Are you sure?

Yes, I do. I do not believe any of them are perfect but I believe these Bibles spanned from men who were truely fighting for God and not the Catholic Church. Tyndale DIED for the right for the common man to have the Bible. Calvin, Knox, and many others had to flee for thier lives. So I respect thier Bibles.

They overlook all that and then throw this line in at the beginning or end, "God's hand was in the making of the KJB."

What is the implication? God's hand wasn't in the making of the AV? Whose hand was it? The Devil's? The Pope's? God's hand wasn't in the making of the Scriptures in English? The Bible of Whitfield, Wesley, Moody and a host of other saints of God?

God allows everything. We all know this. My point was that KJVO's try to make it sound like God's hand was only on the making of the KJV and no other Bible. Who cares what Bible Whitfield, Wesley, Moody, or other saints have used? Have you read some of thier docterine. It has been a while since I studied them but if I remember correctly Whitfield and Wesley were off on thiers. By the way, what cults stick to the KJV? It does not matter what Bible your heroes use. This does not back up anything.

Nowhere in the Bible does it predict the making of the KJV as some claim. Sorry but Ps 12 is not talking about the KJV...not even close. Then they like to say, "It is the only Bible that has lasted through the years. My Geneva has lasted and it is much older.

So, do you believe every word, phrase and verse as found in the Geneva? Or are you just postering?

No I do not. As I stated earlier, no Bible is perfect. My point still stands.

Plus, their teachings actually contradict that the KJV is the Word of God. A big IFB teaching is that anything that is popular with the world is due to the Devil. Things like CCM are popular because it is of the Devil. Well, if the KJV has been the Bible of choice for so long as they brag then doesn't that make them wonder? Don't get me wrong, I do not believe the KJV is of the Devil but I feel their teaching contradict each other. They need any fact that they can find to try to prove something that the Bible does not teach. I wish they would see this.

What CCM has to do with the word of God in English is beyond me. Do you recognize that the AV has been THE ENGLISH BIBLE recognized by a consensus of born again Spirit filled Christians? It wasn't just a "fad" - it was THE BIBLE of the English speaking Church of God. You would do well to watch your mouth when you speak light of it.
