The Validity of the Kings James Bible

[Monomonk]

First let me say that I am a believer, a believer in the Bible, the King James Bible,
a believer of the word, and what is said in that word. And Jesus said: "Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."St. Matthew 16:28. Why? Why where these people selected not to die until the end of the world, until Satan is defeated,and the evils of the world erased? And again Jesus speaks: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass way."St. Matthew 24:35. Now that is a tremendous statement, just think of it, the whole universe, yes and including the earth, will pass away, but the words of Christ will not pass away. Now that is power!
Now I have two questions concerning this statement by Christ: 1: If this be so, that his word will not pass away, do we have access to that word? 2: If we do have access
to that word, where is it? If heaven and earth is passing away, and the words of
Christ are not, can we not rest assured that that word will not be corrupted? Especially by men? All right, where is the word? And who has been put in charge to
write it? Now lets go back to those who will not taste of death until Christ comes in
his kingdom, why were they set aside not to die, what purpose where they to fulfill?
Well this is my idea: Their main job was to write the King James Bible! The flawless
Bible. In all my days of reading this Bible I have found no fault in it, it is perfect,
it has to be, for the word of Christ can not pass away. Is the word of God going to be
corrupted by mere men? Nay I say, nay, nay, nay!

To be honest, I don't know how that says the KJV is the only valid translation. :sorry1:

I like it myself, the first Bible I read.....but I have become quite fond of several others, especially my NIV...............

 

[Jeremy Mason]

And quite a nay sayer........................

It will be a match made in Heaven. Sound like the name of a band, PoisonShady and the Monomonk.

I certainly didn't say anything was wrong with the KJV. I like reading Shakespearean English while reading those plays or when I want to hear the beauty of the words (There is something very lovely about the 23rd Psalm in the KJV that the other translations just don't have). But when it comes to studying the word I like a more modern translation. But, to each his own.

Oooooh the infallible KJ bible. Oh how magnificent it is!!!

YEAH RIGHT. If it was so infallible why has it got revisions. Why did it have in one of the revision THOU SHALL KILL instead of THOU SHALL NOT KILL. Why did they find over 50,000 errors in the original. Why were there verses ADDED to it that are not in the original greek.

Example, heres your infallible KJV

1 John 5:6-9 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
Now lets just see what the OLDEST, COMPLETE new testament translation, codex sinaiticus, has for 1 John 5:6-9


5 Who is he that overcomes the world but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came through water and blood, Jesus Christ: not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood; and it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
7 For they that testify are three, (IS THERE SOMETHING MISSING HERE?)
8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are one.*
* Testify the same thing
9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; because this is the testimony of God that he has testified concerning his Son.

Uh Houston we have a problem. :thud: Oh and theres more if you want to know. Dont be so naive:slap:. Thats why there are sooo many different translations and revisions. Man over the years have screwed up the original Word of God that was written in Hebrew and greek--now those are the infallible Words of God. Dont even get me started on the mistranslation of sheol, hades, gehenna and tartarus, for ever and ever and world and etc etc etc.

I agree that the only bible to be reading is the KJV. That being said there are things found there that should not. Such as easter. I found it once in the kjv and went and looked up original word. The same exact word that was translated easter was translated passover everywhere else it was found. Any of the newer versions are written with a denomination at the helm. A word added here or a word left out there altars the whole meaning of a passage. As for your 2 guys not seeing death till they see the kingdom. They already have seen the kingdom in a vision. They are dead, gone, and buried.

 

[Dunemeister]

The OP misunderstands what Jesus was saying. The question before Jesus in the OP passage was when the Temple would be destroyed. He claimed it would happen within a generation. Some of the people standing there would be eyewitnesses to the event or at least alive when it happened. It has nothing to do with the end of time. That's a common misconception among fundagelicals.

 

[Riverwolf]

Actually the King James Version was written in a language that is very different than the version of English we speak now. Don't forget that when it was first printed, it was as easy to read as a children's book; now it's only beautiful because it's archaic. (don't get me wrong, it is very beautiful... but it has nothing on the beauty of Shakespearean English, which was a bit before the time of the KJV; his was the second English translation of the Bible, which I think is called the Elizabethan Bible, but I don't know for sure)

A person who has studied for years all the original languages of the Bible told me that the Updated New American Standard Bible is the most accurate translation into modern English.

[Father Heathen]

I'm no biblical scholar, but wouldn't the original Hebrew be more accurate than an English translation made centuries later? What sort evidence do KJV literalists have to suggest that their book is the official, divinely endorsed version? Anything?

Good point.

Out of curiousity, is this different from what you've found with any other version of the Bible?

For example, how many faults have you found in your study of the Vulgate? Please be specific.

You did study other versions of the Bible before deciding that the KJV is the best of all of them, right?

He most likely didnt because if he did he ABSOLUTELY wouldnt make that statement.
