This is one of the slowest moving, yet saddest and most damaging results of taking the wrong position on inspiration i.e. double inspiration.
Tom,
I must say I respect you a lot. We may not agree on much but you surely try to take God's side. You don't follow a specific group just what you believe God wants and I like that. As far as the comment you made in this post I agree 100%!

Here is a great site. I may not agree with it all but I have found it very helpful with the KJVO issue... http://www.kjv-only.com/
I always get a laugh when I realize you could have been expelled from HAC in the early '80s for promoting what HAC teaches today, and you could get expelled today for promoting what HAC taught in the early 80s.
As my father often says (and I'm sure he stole it from someone), "Don't be emphatic when the Bible is not." It often keeps you from backing yourself in a corner then having to swing like a mad man to get yourself out. If it is your opinion and you are not 100% sure- state it as such.

With all due respect this is a bit off topic. I do wish to address you comments though.

It's not difficult at all
Do we need to be able to read Greek to understand the KJV? The answer is "No" and on this I must agree. Do we need to understand Greek to better understand the KJV? The answer is "Yes". Here is my proof. Pastors talk about the 2 types of love found when Jesus is talking with Peter about feeding His sheep. We may not need the Greek to understand what love is but it helps us better understand the depth of love between the 2 Greek words.
And besides, the King James is the ONLY Bible that has stood the test of time
The King James BIble has been around since forever.
It has? Forever? I thought it was written in 1611?
Psalm 119:89
"For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven."
This verse says Heaven not earth. It is being taken out of context.
The other versions of the Bible have to be remade after several years due to a copyright ownership. The KJB has no copyright. Thus, it may be copied over and over and over again
The KJV has proven one thing in this statement very wrong. It is the only Bible to have a copyright as long as it has and IT STILL HAS ONE TODAY WITH NO EXPERATION DATE.
Other versions have been remain but so has the KJV many times.
Thank You, Lord, for giving us your Holy Word !!!
The only perfect word is "...settled in Heaven" and His name is Jesus. I still thank God for the KJV as well as other versions but you make the KJV out to be Jesus himself.

Well said. I don't understand Greek either. But I can read and understand the Bible. We are blessed with multiple translations to be able to read the Bible in English.

Well, if forever was in 1611. Yes, the KJV has stood the test of time. It is a classic translation. The translators and the translation process is amazing! I don't believe their will ever be another translation that will match the KJV for the time element.

Um, not sure exactly what you meant by that statement. It really doesn't make any sense. copyrights have nothing to do with revisions or new translations being made. The KJV has a crown copyright. In the US it is in public domain. Well, the NIV will be in public domain in 400 years too. The modern version can be copied over and over again like the KJV can.

Wow, God spoke to Abraham and Saul of Tarsus in Elizabethan English?
