The following are a set of questions addressed to Will Kinney. I have yet to receive an answer.
(It may be found on Bible Discussion Board)
Will Kinney said:
Most Christians today do not believe that ANY Bible in ANY language IS the complete, inspired and inerrant Bible. Do you? Of course not.
You can accuse me of whatever you want, but I noticed you don't address my valid questions. Here is the post again for the 3rd time.
The verses you quote:
Matthew 24:35:
Isaiah 40:8: Psalm 12:6-7:
Psalm 100:5:
Psalm 119:152, 160:
John 10:35:
can also be found in the NIV, NKJV, ASV, AB, etc.
But here is that post again: (Will Kinney in red font)
God said: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD." Amos 8:11
It's interesting that those who get into the King James Bible being the only valid translation and claim it is the only preserved word of God in our English language like to quote that verse. It says God will send a famine in the land, and it's for hearing the words of God. To me that means the King James Bible will be included in that famine if you want to use this as an argument. I see it as a flaw in interpretation on your part.The Lord Jesus Christ also stated in Luke 18:8 "Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
Are you interpreting that verse to mean that if a person doesn't claim the King James translation as the only valid translation in the English language, Jesus will find him faithless? You are saying that verse has to do with what Bible a person reads from?The apostle Paul wrote concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto Him: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST..." 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Are you interpreting that verse to mean that if a person doesn't claim the King James translation as the only valid translation in the English language, he or she will be part of the "falling away?" You are saying that verse has to do with what Bible a person reads from?The number of professing Christians who do not believe in a "hold it in your hands and read" type of inspired Bible has steadily increased over the years since the flood of multiple-choice, conflicting and contradictory modern bible versions began to appear about 100 years ago.
Do you trust the Holy Spirit to guide all Christians into all truth? (John 16:13) Is it wrong for a Christian to compare different translations? It is a sin to do so?The following testimonies about the character of Evangelicalism today were made by key Evangelical leaders. The irony is that these same men are part of the problem they lament. Each of these men has been guilty of endorsing modern bible versions.
I'm not even going to respond to the rest, because I see just as much damage done to the body of Christ by KJB advocates. I see it doing nothing but causing division, and appointing Christians as apostates because they do not hold to one translation as the valid English translation.Of the Baptists surveyed 57 percent said they believed that works are necessary in order to be saved, 45 percent believed Jesus was not sinless, 44 percent did not believe that the Bible is totally accurate, and 66 percent did not believe Satan to be a real being. Barna said, "The Christian body in America is immersed in a crisis of biblical illiteracy."
I will respond to this comment. Just because people believe some of these things does not have to do with Bible translations or not holding the King James Bible as the valid English translation. It has to do with people who do not take the time to study their Bible. The Mormons hold to the King James Bible, does that make them correct in every doctrine they hold? Of course not. It has nothing to do with Bible translations, but how people interpret the Bible. Instead of comparing Scripture with Scripture, some people hold onto to pet doctrines that they have been taught in their particular denomination and have not taken the time to study the Bible and find out the truth for themselves.The explosion of modern versions has encouraged the student to pick and choose his own preferred readings and has created a tendency to treat every Bible lightly and to look upon none as the final words of God.
I trust the Holy Spirit to guide all Christians into all truth. Because someone doesn't believe Jesus is God, because someone doesn't believe there is a hell, because someone doesn't believe that Jesus was not sinless has nothing to do with different translations (outside the NWT for it is obvious that is tampered with to line up with JW beliefs).The Bible believer first looks to God and His word to determine what the Book says about itself. The Bible cannot be clearer concerning it's preservation:
Isaiah 40:8: "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."
Psalm 12:6-7: "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
Psalm 138:2: "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name."
Psalm 100:5: "For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."
Psalm 33:11: "The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations."
Psalm 119:152, 160: "Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that Thou hast founded them for ever. ... thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever."
Isaiah 59:21: "... My Spirit that is upon thee [Isaiah], and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever."
Matthew 5:17-18: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Matthew 24:35: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
John 10:35: "... the Scripture cannot be broken."
God has promised to preserve His wordS IN A BOOK here on this earth till heaven and earth pass away. He either did this and we can know where they are found today, or He lied and He lost some of them, and we can never be sure if what we are reading are the true words of God or not.
Where in the Bible does it say it will only be found in the King James Book?____________________________________________________________
