Why should those scriptures that talk of preservation change meaning just because someone hand-cranked a printing press? Why claim the Bible is the only source of doctrine, but then hold to a new doctrine that is not in the Bible?
A Christian should be defending the truth regardless of how that truth may be abused by others.
First, I came because I was having this discussion on another board with Kinney but he brought his response to this board (and others) and abandoned the original board, and when I found it here he invited me to continue the discussion here. Second, I do hold to the AV/KJ, just not to the AV/KJ-only because that is a doctrine I do not find in the Bible. It it is a new doctrine, a doctrine not possible for the first 80% of church history. Only scripture is the authoritative source of doctrine, right? So by what authority should we accept this new doctrine?

Say again your last. Transmission was garbled.
Brian T. : --- Your words are in english, but I'm still not sure what you believe,,, sooo I went over to the website on your Profile Page and looked around. Saw Posts by Steven Avery and Will Kinney and your posts. After reading several posts on several threads,,, I can understand why Will Kinney came over here. The website is meant to be about "Bible Versions", (which would be a good topic to discuss-IMO)---but it seems like most of the group over there has to spend their efforts on bad-mouthing the AV/KJ and especially "KJ Onlyism"... and least from what I saw.
Do you read from a modern translation ? Do you sell/market one of the versions that follow the 1881 R.V. ? Do you own stock in Zondervan/Tyndale/NavPress/etc.. ? I'm trying to figure out your "point-of-view". {I'm not the Admin or Mod.--- just curious}. I do appreciate your reply to my post---no cuss words or insults-unlike some folks-
.
I think the Post by "Vendetta Ride" was well done wherein he mentioned the various Bible versions/translations. He stole my sermon--
. Before the 1604-1611 A.V., the Geneva Bible was used by many, many English reading Christians (to include the Pilgrims that sailed over on the Mayflower) and btw--even though I only own AV/KJ Bibles and a N.T.,,, If the guy in the red suit with the reindeer dropped a a copy of the Geneva in my chimney---I wouldn't mind!
