I know most here are anti-other versions but this is mainly to see what KJVO view you hold. I recently learnd about the Pure Cambridge Edition only belief.

This quiz is misguided. There is a distinction between a "Bible" and an "edition" of it. (After all there were two editions of the KJB printed in 1611, the "He" edition, and the "She" edition, see Ruth 3:15.)

TEXT
TRANSLATION
EDITION

TEXT. The Traditional Text is superior to the modern text(s); the Textus Receptus is superior to both; the KJB is the final form of the received text.

TRANSLATION. The Reformation TR-based translations are superior to modern versions (i.e. translations); the KJB is the best Bible in the world because it is perfect.

EDITION. The traditional lineage of KJB editions are the acceptable ones (as compared to modernised and/or newly edited KJV editions), the last and full result of proper traditional edition improvements (fixing up printing errors, standardising spelling, etc.) is a perfect presentation, the Pure Cambridge Edition. (This is not an ongoing or continuing process. "Saviour" is not going to be "improved" to "Savior"; "Easter" is not going to be improved to some other word, etc.)

An excellent translation of a poor text is okay with you, Just_a_thought??

After studding the different texts as best as possible (for someone who does not know Hebrew or Greek) I don't think any text is perfect. With this conclusion I feel that you must pick the one who think is best or combine them into one. All texts have good doctrine in them. It is simply more prevalent in some than others. So yes, I am not against any text.

In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. (Judges 21:25)

Sounds like that's the problem you're having; no King, no right and wrong.

"Where the word of a king is, there is power." (Ecc. 8:4)

Yep, that's me! Out to brake all the rules. No right or wrong...I do it all!

This is rediculous...I never said there is no right or wrong. I simply studied, prayed, and studied some more, this is the conclusion I feel God has brought me to. You don't have to agree with me. To claim I am out to simply do what I feel is right and don't care what God has to say is casting judgment that is not true.

God bless!

Those are your words, not I. You base your version selection on your own human feelings, not on the fact that god promised to preserve His words forever. Either God is true and His perfect words exist somewhere on earth (this generation forever) or God is a liar and you can pick and choose according to your own reasoning and logic.

Sounds like Metzger, Westcott, Hort and the rest of the Humanistic German Rationalists.

Not at all, God did preserve His word...IN HEAVEN! This is why I say this. I have studied the issue and prayed about it. I am not just saying,"Hey take what you want and do what you want with God's word. It all good!" I am simply saying we do not know which manuscripts are right. So we can not say which one is 100% accurate. Due to this I support those who try to translate scripture best as possible. Unlike what you did to me by taking my words out of context.

Hello Just_A_Thought,
I recently learned about Matthew Verschuur's (BibleProtector) research into the various editions of the King James Bible text. I appreciate his work in this area, work that has been done by many others but none seem to have gone to the extent that Matthew has gone. I appreciate knowing where their might be a printing error. I do not find any of these printing errors to cause me any doubt, for example, in Matthew 4:1 I know it was the Holy Ghost who led Jesus into the desert regardless of whether Spirit is capitalized or not.
I own several King James Bibles, most of them published by Thomas Nelson. I have my very first Nelson Bible that I received at age six when I first believed - complete with an autograph from Dr. Bob Jones Jr. I also own the King James Study Bible but I rarely, if ever use it. My favorite Bible is my Nelson Pocket Companion Bible because of the small size. I have a early 1900s Holman that belonged to my grandfather and the Hendrickson's reproduction of the 1611 edition, just to have a copy. My most recent purchase was the Collins paperback that contains the "Pure Cambridge Edition" as confirmed by Matthew. I bought this simply to have a copy, not to abandon my use of my other King James Bible. I will likely purchase the Allan Pitt Minion edition because the size is nearly identical to my Nelson Pocket Companion Bible, will last forever due to the quality of Allan's publishing process, and as an extra bonus it does contain the Pure Cambridge Edition text.

Peace,
Harley
