Hey Jerry,

I must disagree. Sometimes when you say things out loud it just doesn't make sense.

"The KJV is inspired by God because it is Scripture - though it was not reinspired. God inspired the words, not the writers or the translators."

I'll attempt to get out of the way and let God speak.

Jeremiah 36:4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
Jeremiah 36:23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
Jeremiah 36:27-29 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, 28 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned. 29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?

That is reinspiration! Webster's 1828 (Reinspire, v.t. [re and inspire.] To inspire anew.)

Was your Bible written by "the will of man" or by "holy men of God"?

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

I don't mean to come off too strong. I believe God is in the whole process of preserving his words, if he is not...well, that doesn't leave us in a very good position!

In Christ,
