Why the king james version?

Is there a "Holiest translation?".

no, none are perfect. if we all learned both Hebrew, koine greek and also aramiac. each of us would see a different thing in the bible.thus slight variations in wording if we translated it.

So you say God is not the author of confusion.
I agree.
You say KJV 1611 is the only true version presented by God.
So why did the original 1611 KJV include the Apocrypha?
Do you believe it should be there?
I don't.
I'm confused.

Historical, rather than inspired value.
 
Can a Bible translation be perfect and inspired?

Can a translation of God’s word be perfect?

Man’s wisdom says a perfect translation from one language to another is impossible. The Bible shows us something completely different. Will you trust God or men?

The KJVO position is the truth. Do you like the truth?

I love the truth, which is precisely why I am against the error of KJVOism.

BigSodaExposer said:
But when you consider the holy spirit's "influence" on the KJV, it is not just a mere book.
Click to expand...
It is a translation; one of many. There is no reason to believe the Holy Spirit had any more or less influence on any other translation.

Anyone that truly has the spirit of truth in them will be/ should be able to discern the difference of the KJV to the rest.

Be very careful in making such a claim. Not only is it close to violating the TOS, it is blatantly false.

BigSodaExposer said:
The positively charged righteous perfection that exist around the KJV. And see there is no way to prove that. So it is faith that makes the connection.

Blind faith, which isn't faith at all. If there is no way to prove it, chances are it is an empty claim, mere opinion (whatever "positively charged righteous perfection" means).

BigSodaExposer said:
But then "world history" requires faith as well. I did not live billions of years ago thus I can't see a dinosaur in the flesh today, nor can I travel to the moon and observe it is a real rock. That requires faith to believe in. Genesis 1:16 says the moon is a light. Hard to land a space ship on a photon. I walk by faith not by sight. I put my faith in God and trust his word.
Click to expand...
Neither requires faith. We have fossils which prove the existence of dinosaurs. We have science and reason to tell us what the moon most likely is made of, and a spacecraft has in fact landed on it. If you are suggesting the Bible says the moon is made of light, then it needs to be said that being a light and being light or made of light are two very different things. Your faith here seems blind and not based on reason as it should be, unless I have misunderstood you.

This of course ignores the obvious--that the original languages don't exist anymore and that the autographs were inspired. Not to mention a certain significant assumption is being made, namely, that when the words were recorded, the writer translated word-for-word what was said and it comes out exactly the same in the written language. Just another example of the fallacious reasoning used by KJVOism.
 
joseph probably could speak Egyptian but that doesn't mean he couldn't speak Hebrew. he choose a translator to see if his brethren were honest or not. its recorded he understood them. he spoke to Jacob directly. man!

im anti-kjvoism, but I read the kjv and have done so for years. when I need to I go the literal translation of the YLT. I poke those who use the niv, but they know that isn't for a heavy study and will read another bible or use a commentary with it.
 
O.k. that's better..:wave i watched that video last night for the first time..as many times as I've gone over some pages i didn't see that..try watching it.. its only 5 minutes give or take a second
