Once again you give me nothing but a bald assertion.

That's a strange thing to say since I've demonstrated that exact opposite of your assertion which once again is completely unsubstantiated. So be it.

Jonah 2:6 and Isa. 34:10 are examples of apocalyptic imagery which is hyperbolic from the start and an entirely different matter that requires it's own discussion. I would be happy to discuss these at another time. Deut. 15:17, 1 Sam. 1:22 and Job 41:4 are akin with regard to your objection...

That's cute, but I'm not upset. You're the one who revived this thread. Remember that. I don't have a problem with disagreement. I have a problem with those who prefer what I like to call a theological drive-by or hit-and-run to actually interacting with my arguments and Biblical support...

While Peter is certainly seen to be primus inter pares among the apostles, along with James and John, he didn't always take the lead. The Jerusalem council is a good example of this where James presides. Peter isn't the rock in Matthew 16 either. The use of the demonstrative pronoun ταύτη...

It's amazing to me that you can quote my entire presentation and still make such a statement. You've decided to resurrect this topic and yet you didn't bother to interact with any of my arguments or the Scripture I presented. Your bald assertions simply will not do. Since I can read Greek I...

Speaking of 1611 Kings English... here's an interesting little tidbit. I find that those who are the most vociferous about the KJV don't realize that the KJV they're using isn't the 1611 version at all. It's the 1769 revision. The 1611 also contained the apocrypha, which is something a KJV...

O.k., my apologies. It would appear that the Leningrad manuscript is the oldest example of the ben Asher Masoretic Text (MT). The KJV uses the ben chayyim edition of the MT while the NKJV uses the Stuttgart edition of the MT which contains the Leningrad B19a. Both the KJV and the NKJV use the...

What's with the name calling? Here, something for you to read. "The Leningrad Codex is considered one of the best examples of the Masoretic text." http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/wsrp/educational_site/biblical_manuscripts/LeningradCodex.shtml

The Leningrad Manuscript is Massoretic text--dude.

That's not accurate. The Stuttgart edition of Biblia Hebraica is the Masoretic text used by the KJV.

Not exclusively. The critical text underlying the newer versions of the New Testament draws from a wide variety of available manuscripts that span many centuries. I'm not sure what you mean. The NKJV utilizes the same Textus Receptus and Masoretic texts that underlies the KJV. The NKJV is the...

O.k., now I'm sure that you don't know what you're talking about. 1. Once again you have failed to answer my questions. 2. All textual platforms contain variants--even the Byzantine text family utilzed by the KJV translators. 3. The NA 27 and the USB 4 of the 20th century have nothing to do...

That's wonderful. I look forward to participating.

I see you're not paying attention. Tell me why we should trust exclusively the various versions of the TR + the Latin Vulgate utilized by the KJV translators as opposed to the NA 27 & the USB 4.

I already said that your preference doesn't bother me in the least. All translations have their unique flaws. My objection is that it's indefensible to say that the KJV is the best translation available. I pointed out just a few glaring problems with such a notion and you failed to address even...

Swampfox, Your reply doesn't even begin to answer my objections and demonstrates very clearly that you know very little about the original languages or textual criticism. English is not well equipped to deal with the depths of Greek and Hebrew? Are you kidding me? Your degree tells you this...

That's very courageous and I applaud you for it.

What exactly leads you to believe that the KJV is the best English translation available? Is it the archaic English? Or the very few late date manuscripts that underlie the Textus Receptus? Or the exclusive use of a Byzantine text platform? Or maybe the KJV translator's use of the Latin Vulgate...

Well, this brings us back to the importance of being a part of a local congregation. God has gifted his Church with leaders who are responsible for your spiritual well-being. Those who meet the Biblical qualifications found in 1 Tim. 3, feel called to this work , and are ordained by the...
