You keep saying this. So, show the differences between the KJV of 1611 and that of today.

From the 1611 KJV...

Would you feel better if is changed "assumption" to "supposition"? Because you suppose that "old" means "better", do you not? "...that you soon not be shaken in mind, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us..." Does Paul acknowledge that there were things written (which are subject to being copied) in his day that were a corruption of the truth? Yes, he does. You accuse me of inappropriateness", but look how you've leave the minority 2 at the scene while removing the majority, an absolutely unfair distinction. All we have are copies, some of which tell the truth and others which do not.

you suppose that "old" means "better", do you not?
My reason (and it's not just "my" reason) for supposing that has already been stated, and so far you've given no argument against it.

"...that you soon not be shaken in mind, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us..." Does Paul acknowledge that there were things written (which are subject to being copied) in his day that were a corruption of the truth? Yes, he does.
This is from II Thessalonians, one of the first NT documents to be written - so again, Paul cannot possibly be referring to inaccurate copies! He's talking about faked letters - documents that were rejected altogether by the early church and never incorporated into the New Testament.

You accuse me of inappropriateness", but look how you've leave the minority 2 at the scene while removing the majority, an absolutely unfair distinction. All we have are copies, some of which tell the truth and others which do not.
I'm sorry... your illustration was evidently so poor I should have abandoned it altogether! As you now admit, all the 'evidence' is hearsay, but do you see no possible distinction between 'close' hearsay and hearsay at a greater 'distance' in time?

In Matthew 19:16-17, the word "Good" which precedes "Master" is omitted by the Alexandrian Text, which also goes on to change, "Why callest thou Me good" into the corrupted rendering, "why do you ask me about what is good?". However, Hippolytus in his The Refutation of All Heresies, book VII, chapter 18, makes clear, undeniable reference to what is found in the Traditional Text.
----------------------------------------------------
In Matthew 20:16, "for many are called, but few chosen" is clearly stated in the Traditional Text but omitted by the Critical Text although it is found in Irenaeus' Against Heresies, book IV, chapter 7.
Bear in mind that Hippolytus could just as easily be quoting from Mark or Luke, and Irenaeus could be quoting Matthew 22:14.

You proved we don't use the 1611 today. You did not prove Calvinism.

We can't do it ourselves. We must repent and rely on God to do for us by his grace.

Romans 8
Lol from the man that posted video of James White one of the top Reformed apologists on YouTube.
Note there are 4 other Reformed folks there . Also SG was posting to support your arguments had nothing to do with Reformed theology. So why the quip . Man you think more about Reformed theology than Reformed folks. Humm
Somthing for your side of the argument. Ask why does the TR the Greek or NT part of the KJV follow the Latin vulgate (Catholic Church Version ) for grammar and verb tense over the Greek?

Besides the language up date as seen posted above by SovereignGrace here is a few other things.
Note modern version refers to all KJV Bibles after the 1611
Here is the Leter reference/ reference list
Abbreviations:
S - Stephens 1550
B - Beza 1598
E - Elzevir 1624
C - Complutensian Polyglot 1522
Er - Erasmus 1527
Vul - Clementine Vulgate 1592
Tyn - Tyndale 1535
Gen - Genevan Bible 1560
Bish - Bishops Bible 1568

Mark 8:14 Modern editions italicize the disciples, in accordance with S E. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon B.
Mark 9:42 Modern editions italicize these, in accordance with S B E. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon C Vul.
John 8:6 Modern editions italicize as though he heard them not at end of verse, in accordance with S B E. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon C S1546 S1549 and the Bishops' Bible.
Acts 1:4 Modern editions italicize them after assembled together with, in accordance with S E. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon B.
Acts 26:3 Modern editions italicize because I know, in accordance with S E. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon B.
Acts 26:18 Modern editions italicize and before to turn, in accordance with S E. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon B.
1 Cor 14:10 Modern editions print the words of them in ordinary type, in accordance with S B E. But the text of 1611 had them in italics, in accordance with Vul.
Heb 12:24 Modern editions italicize that of before Abel, in accordance with S B E. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon Er.
1 John 3:16 Modern editions italicize of God after love, in accordance with S E. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon C B.
Rev 11:14 Modern editions italicize and before behold, in accordance with S. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon B Vul.
Rev 19:18 Modern editions italicize both before free, in accordance with S B E. But the text of 1611 was probably based upon C.

To be meaningful all sides in the Bible and manuscript discussion needed be present.

The KJVO and Calvinist usually one and the same.

Your question is part of the video discussion.

All your wanting to do is distract from the presentation.

The big argument for the KJV that was repeated many times was faith. Not facts, not history, not linguistics but faith.

Ok but the Calvinist as you say are the ones on your side .
None KJV onlyist are Calvinist on your video.
If they are one in the same why use them to support your argument.
So what are you doing? If both are one in the same both are wrong then your argument is wrong by default . Only logical conclusion is your starting a argument to either watch the fight or toy with others that you disagree with .
Strange.

I do not see any of the ones critical of what is said in videos actually quoting videos.

They just go straight into the old Pro KJV arguments based on their personal opinions.

I'm not aware of any Calvinistic emphasis on the sovereignty of God among proponents of KJVOnly (although for all I know some may exist).

I do use and love the KJV, although I'm not strictly KJVOnly in the true sense of the term.

He was acting as a moderator in the debate between both sides I was talking about his position.
I understand who he is . Also just use his home page to get his information. Like you did . Wikipedia is questionable. The site can be edited by users .
They have in the past had questionable entries on their site . Like reference to Jesus being a part of Christian mythology ie not being real . This was removed but still the site is not friendly to those that call themselves Christians.

The News UNIT: Pastor Chris Holman: From Roman Catholicism to KJV ONLY CALVINIST

https://brandplucked.webs.com/calvinismkjb.htm

For clarity on my point being a Calvinist does not make you KJVO. Neither does it say you're not.

Pretty much the same with every denomination and group with the exception of JW and the NWT.

That is the way he works. I have listened to him often from 1980 on.

He used to love to have Dr. Walter Martin on. He had always both sides represented with the best each side can present. Just as a he did in these series of videos.
