Grandmaclair: I don't believe he did that

It seems clear to me that he did with this statement: "I just don't wanna go too far over the headsa the RC, JWs, LDSs, or KJVOs. " "

That is a pretty harsh statement Grandmaclair.


GMC: There are many that believe all scripture is the word of God including the KJV. What you didn't seem to get is the false teaching from book writers that ONLY the KJV is the word of God not that the KJV is not the word of God.
I know there are many that believe this, but I believe it is false. I do believe that in the new versions, they are perversions of God's word, however...I certainly believe God can use those new versions to bring people to Christ! He used a talking ass, He can certainly use a new version of His word. Once someone is saved, I believe they will mature spiritually using the KJB, the pure word of God, and not a diluted, changed, by adding and subtracting words and whole verses from God's word.

GMC: This teaching puts fear in those that are searching for the truth and makes them believe that an easier to read version is false.
I don't think any new believer who is coming to Christ knows anything at all about the controversy, and once someone is saved, they should have a healthy fear of what they are reading! It is false that the new versions are "easier" reading!

GMC: Which has not been proven as fact and may even make it impossible for some to find the truth who have trouble understand the form of the KJV.( especial the cults that use the KJV to twist the facts of what it really says.)


If someone is searching for the truth of God, they will find it in the KJB. When I came to the Lord it was through a Gideon Bible in a hotel room, and I understood it perfectly, even though previously the Bible had no meaning to me whatsoever. And a cult is going to twist any version as well as the word of God...Most likely they twist the KJB, simply BECAUSE it IS the word of God...sheesh.


"Preface to the King James Version 1611 (A Satisfaction To Our Brethren)
Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver God's book unto God's people in a tongue which they understand? Since of a hidden treasure, and of a fountain that is sealed, there is no profit,…………… so, if we building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, do endeavor to make that better which they left so good; no man, we are sure, hath cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive, would thank us."

Yes, and? They were translating into the common language which was English, so that the common man could read the word of God. That is exactly what they did and exactly what we have in the KJB.

The Gospel of the Grace of God: 1Co 15:1-4 I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you...By which also ye are saved...How that Christ died for our sins...And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
