The Textus Ramfus, or however you pronounce the original hebrew manuscripts

The King James bible isn't bad, just is really hard to read. It does contain errors though, and mistranslates other words, like Easter for Passover, confusing the two holidays.

For me though, I'll take an NAB anyday!!!

The King James is easier for me to read than some versions. I do like the NASB too though. I like the word for word translations best.

I like the NASB as well. My best friend gave me one back in 1979. It's sitting right here besides me.

What color is it?

 

[handy]

Originally it was a maroon leather, the crinkly type, with New American Standard Bible stamped in gold leaf. Now, it's so old that it's dark rusty color in some areas and worn almost pink in others and the gold leaf is almost completely rubbed off. Several of my favorite chapters have worked themselves off the binding and I have to keep putting them back into place. I really need to get a new Bible, but I like this one, I can find all my favorite passages just by opening the thing. And, there are a lot of underlined passages and notes I've scribbled down over the years too. I'd like to get it rebound if I can ever afford the $60.00 to do so.

For the umpteenth time, the KJV has no errors except the ones unlearned men inject into it. There was a reason for using "Easter" in Acts. 12:4, it is not an error. Probably bad judgment on the side of the translators, not knowing perverse men would use it later against them. Which is a really sad thing since they are dead, and cannot defend their choice of words.

I'm satisfied with the KJV also Samuel. It's not as accurate as the original autographs, but I don't really care. Language has changed somewhat over a few hundred years also. I don't care much about that either. To interpret the Bible is just simply a matter of correlating information from several places in scripture, both from the same author...and other writers. Where haywire doctrine comes in, is when someone picks their favorite book or favorite author...and totally forgets about what the rest of scripture says.
ie. justification by faith. Some people think Paul is saying proper living doesn't even matter to God because of his statements. That is not what he is saying at all. Read Hebrews...which Paul wrote. Read 2 Peter about the dog returning to it's vomit...Jude...Jesus in the gospels...James... faith shown by works...
We have imputed righteousness...that doesn't mean we aren't held accountable...or even that we cannot deny the faith...after having received.
There is a whole book to reference with here...and that makes for far more accuracy.
I have never found anything twisted about the KJV. I am more worried about some NEW Bible coming out that says something like we're not REALLY saved...that homosexuality...is not REALLY wrong...we're supposed to love everyone so we can't REALLY say our way is the right way (Universalism).
I will tell you what I would do with that kind of Bible...it would end up in the trash can. KJV is fine.

I can't speaketh for others, but the King James is not very hard at all for me to readeth.

I still after many years finddeth the occasional, strangeth word. But I have a huge list of strangeth wordeths, and it only takest a minute to resolveth it. I just made up a strangeth wordeth, or twoeth.

I think not reading , and comparing all of scripture is responsible for the current OSAS doctrine, which is nothing like "Perseverance Of The Saints". But allows for all sorts of sinfulness, while still considering the person involved in such, to be in a right relationship with God.
I think it is also a bad idea for a Preacher to get up and stress the idea, we are all still sinful. This leads to thinking that "so I sin 27/7, I'm still in good shape". It also can lead to a lot of religious but unsaved people, inhabiting the Churches, deluded into the idea they are saved by religious observance. But! it is good for the offerings though.

The current bible was formulated by the council of Nicea.
The purpose of the council was to resolve disagreements arising from within the Church of Alexandria over the nature of Jesus in relationship to the Father; in particular, whether Jesus was the literal son of God or was he a figurative son, like the other "sons of God" in the BibleWikipedia.
The Second Council of Nicaea is believed to have been the Seventh Ecumenical Council by Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Old Catholics, and various other Western Christian groups. It met in 787 AD in Nicaea (site of the First Council of Nicaea; present-day Ä°znik in Turkey) to restore the honoring of icons (or, holy images)[1], which had been suppressed by imperial edict inside the Byzantine Empire during the reign of Leo III (717 - 741) Wikipedia
Basically these good intending people set up the symbols of the Church and the doctrines still in use today for the most part.
There were many books which we would call holy in those days. It seems the Councils job was to gather those documents which seems worth of inclusion into what we call the bible today and discard the rest.

What I would like to read if they were available is those documents which were discarded, as the decision to include and exclude appears to be on some accounts to be arbitrary.

If your truly saved, then OSAS is a very biblical concept. Most people believe that this is a license to sin. That's the biggest issue. Sure, your saved the day you take Jesus in your heart, but what good is it if your not willing to follow him? He died for you to have life, yet you still like to live a sinful life style?

If you fall out of Christianity, you might just be back sliding at the moment. It happens. If it keeps happening though, try to think if you were really saved in the first place. If you don't see the world differently, think about your faith. Also, follow my favorite bible quote, Galatians 5:22-23. That's good proof if your really a christian or not.

Please keep this thread on topic. There is a forum for theological discussions. And surprisingly you'll also find several old threads about this same topic...

 

[samuel]

I understand the concept of OSAS, but it is not explained correctly to most. It is based on Calvins "Perseverance of the Saints", also highly misunderstood, and not properly taught.

The understanding of OSAS is more like the accusation of the doctrine as; "Once a Sinner, Always a Sinner". Actually there is a point you have to consider in backsliding, which the scriptures don't uphold. To consider is it simply a failure to stay in the scriptures, remain in fellowship, and a failure to maintain a consistent Prayer life; or is it just plain old unadulterated sinfulness. totopic

The truth is, I am a believer of a higher power and the bible in my opinion has been written and rewritten so many times that they are some things that have been changed to fit their beliefs! I go to Catholic church, but I go to different churches and I learn from different religions how to accept people and to love one another!

This is just my opinion!

Have a blessed day!

I prefer the New King James Version. It is a good translation of the Masoretic and Received Texts, but it does have a couple of mistakes.
