2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Do you believe that God was saying through the Apostle Paul, to study the "texts" or to study the Book that he promised in Psalms 12:6,7
Psalms 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them
from this generation for ever.
I
hold those
Preserved words in ONE BOOK the HOLY BIBLE containing 66 Books from holy men of God who spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Infallible, inerrant preserved in English in the KJB
(not scattered manuscripts or any "dead" language, IN ENGLISH)
Psalms 119:89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is
settled in heaven.
This does not refer to "The Originals" that is just a smokescreen from scholars and theologians who have "NO FINAL AUTHORITY" or any faith in a Sovereign God who is powerful enough to preserve his words on earth.
Isaiah 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come
for ever and ever:
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but
the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Isaiah 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD,
from henceforth and for ever.
Jeremiah 30:2 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee
all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass,
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but
my words shall not pass away.
John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and
the scripture cannot be broken;
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
All these verses testify that God Almighty, is Omnipotent enough to preserve his word, without error in at least One Book, they are all his promises to give us today, you and me a Holy Bible that contains
all his words without error, is that so hard to grasp? Is God the author of confusion? No, he said he would preserve his words and you know what? I BELIEVE him.
Refering to Psalms 12:6,7 "Purified seven times"
Now I find it no coincidence that the KJB is the 7th Major English Translation
1: Wyclif's Bible (1382),
2: Coverdale's Bible (1535, using Tyndale's New Testamentfrom 1525),
3: Matthew's Bible (1537),
4: The Great Bible (1539),
5: The Geneva Bible (1560),
6: The Bishop's Bible (1568)
And the 7th English Translation purified without error available for every Born again man woman and child to study, read and understand without any need, nor requirement to "Go to the Greek" to know
exactly what God said, because, it is right there before our very eyes in the Language we speak, ENGLISH.
The study of manuscripts seems to be the primary occupation of many of scholarly types like yourself and I feel saddened, and I mean that in all Christian sincerity, I feel saddened that you cannot Hold up Any Bible as perfect, that you don't believe God in all his unchangeable wisdom hasn't in these last days left us One Book that contains
all his words. Thankfully and Praise the Lord, the Majority of this forum does believe that promise and he has delivered it to us in the King James Bible.
The trend is for those who don't have a final authority to question, ever question those who do and claim that the KJB contains errors, but you know what Brother,
IT DOSENT, not
one claim of error in the Book by scholars, theologian, correctors has been proven and EVERY claim has been refuted.
The questioning of Gods words, the casting doubt on Gods words all began way back in
Genesis 3:1
"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
And since that day satan has questioned, cast doubt on, added to and subtracted from Gods word.
He has his own apostles
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
He has his own Prophets
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
His own messiah
John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
His own trinity
Revelation 13:
His own bride
Revelation 17:
SO......WHY cant he have his own Bibles? Answer:
He does and how he has used them to his advantage, attacking the Godhead, attacking the virgin birth, removing the precious blood of a risen Saviour, removing the words of eternal life, causing confusion among churches and brethren, boy ohh boy the list goes on.
What I am trying to get at here Brother is this, and I am not much older than yourself (34)
WE ARE IN A WAR, plain and simple! spiritual wickedness in high places is ravaging the body of Christ, satan is in his last throws of attack on God, his people and more importantly the validity of HIS WORD. Get your head out of "The Greek" take a sharp sword (One Book stands alone) and the whole Armour of God and stand and fight, or simply go to the back row and cower down with the Greek and pretend Gods word dosent serve to be defended just mocked and changed.
2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
