I see the 1611 kjv onliests have arrived in the chat. You can ask any person who is a translator or etymologist and they will also tell you that the Bibles we have today are accurate in translation as close as possible. There are just some variations depending on translation but it doesn't at all take away from the meat of the translation.

[@ShamelesslyRed]

Except review 1corin 1:8 in the different translations and ask yourself if you're saved, or if you're "being saved". Words matter

[@prasadpalayyan588]

​@@ShamelesslyRed Saved; Being saved; will be saved.(Eph-4:30)

[@ShamelesslyRed]

@@prasadpalayyan588 i don't understand your comment.. Ephesians 4:30 is not being saved; it's that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Not, " being sealed". We are saved and sealed now. Everyday.

Westminster Confession of Faith on Scripture We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the Church to a high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scripture.(k) And the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole (which is, to give all glory to God), the full discovery it makes of the only way of man’s salvation, the many other incomparable excellencies, and the entire perfection thereof, are arguments whereby it doth abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God: yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.(l) (k) I Tim. 3:15. (l) I John 2:20, 27; John 16:13, 14; I Cor. 2:10, 11, 12; Isa. 59:21.

"The Bible is unlike all other writings in that its words are breathed out by God Himself." And what is the proof of this? The quotation from 2 Timothy? And Stephen Nichols explains that it is also a human work. So how does this inspiration work? Why are unfulfilled prophecies in the Bible? Why is the creation story, the fall, the flood clearly not historical? (They are all refuted by science.)

Jesus came to glorify the Father People talk about Jesus’ divinity without ever acknowledging the one who gave him his divinity and authority (Matthew 28:18-19). God is Jesus’ Father, and Jesus is God’s only begotten Son. They are not the same entity, but they are always in agreement because Jesus does and says everything that his Father tells him. Jesus was born without an earthly Father. He was sent here to tell us about the will of his heavenly Father, not himself. Jesus is the manifestation of God’s power and spirit in the flesh, but he is not God himself. The Father works in and through Jesus. If you truly cherish Jesus, then you will glorify the Father just as Jesus glorifies Him. We must glorify the Almighty Father, who gave Jesus life (John 5:26), the entire revelation (Revelation 1:1), and all power in heaven and on earth. Without the Father, there is no Son; and without Jesus, there is no means of salvation for us. “For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him (Jesus) should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

While I appreciate many of the teachings on this channel, however, I do have a major concern with this ministry. They talk about believing in the inspiration and the authority of scripture, but that is a bold-faced lie. Ask Ligonier out of all of the Bibles in the entire world in every language, which one is God's inerrant and preserved word? They can't answer this question. They will tell you that it does not exist anymore. Brethren, those that are seeking truth, God has preserved his word and it is without error. In the English language, this is the King James bible.

You'll be fine

@TheBeginningofSorrows If you write a letter, and it gets translated but still has the same content, then you are communicating the original message. God uses human language to communicate with humans but the language itself is not perfect. Even the original authors of the Bible had grammar mistakes, but it doesn’t deny the validity of the message. Hope this helps

[@bechet12]

Please tell me when did God make the English language the end all be all of all languages since the time of the Tower of Babel?

I’m sorry you feel this way. If we went by that standard then the Geneva Bible would be the one Bible. The king James pulled most of its work from the Geneva except the Geneva was written so the common folk could understand it and the king James is proper English which only the royals spoke and the royals were heretics so I wouldn’t hold on to that. The 1611 is also the most incorrect translation of the last 1000 years because they didn’t even have all the transcripts available to use and used the byproducts of translations to try and work backwards and it came out all messed up. King James also wouldn’t allow the word tyrant in his Bible for bad reasons so he literally changed the words which is a sin. God mixed up the languages because we are totally depraved and the Holy Spirit isn’t going to be held down from communicating the word in all lands and all places because you have a prideful preference. Christianity is not an English religion and it’s not an American religion it’s a Jewish religion so if you want to be like that learn Hebrew and Greek the languages the Jews spoke and read those bibles. If you had any grace in your heart you would see that the gospel isn’t gonna be held down by your silly views on superiority of ethnos. God bless you and your king James only friends. The church is universal and its authority is Christ not your singular church or view.

Which kjv do i need? Seeing that there are several editions and that prior to any standardized versions, no two copies were identical, which one do i need now? How did I and countless others come to saving and abiding faith apart from the kjv? How do i know and believe what I do apart from the king james?
