God says what the Bible says.

I say yes.

To all of what He said?

However, it is advised to look at it like you was studying a medical book and need a medical dictionary to go with it. I use a dictionary anyway, whatever translation I use.

Who's doing the "advising"? IOW, who do you look to, for the authority to do the things that you do? always remembering that there is a form of obedience that leads to death:

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Romans 6:16).

If you want to study the bible...you're going to have to trust men to teach it to you.

This directly contradicts the Holy Bible:

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5)

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: 0ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (James 4:1-3)

We are repeatedly told to TRUST NO MAN:

Scripture tells us many times to trust no man. Indeed, we should not trust any man, including ourselves. The Bible says, "Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom" (Micah 7:5). It also says "Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders" (Jeremiah 9:4), "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered" (Proverbs 28:26), "But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead" (2 Corinthians 1:9), "Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's" (2 Corinthians 10:7), "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD" (Jeremiah 17:5), and finally, "Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit." (Jeremiah 7:8)

Is salvation unconditionally eternal?

Rather, salvation is covenantal.

Let's put all this "dictionary" confusion to rest.

An examination of the 1000 most difficult words in the KJV reveals that God defines all of them, in the context, in their first usage, using the very words of the Webster's or Oxford English Dictionary. The brief overview of the Holy Bible's built-in dictionary in post #185 is offered to give enough examples of how God's built-in dictionary works, thereby allowing the reader a head-start in discovering this dictionary for himself.

WE NEED MEN'S DICTIONARIES, ETC. ETC.

Those who would champion the necessity of men's dictionaries have it backwards. The KJV is a looking glass, looking back at 1000 years of the history of our culture's thinking and beliefs. The Webster's and Oxford dictionaries match the KJV's definitions exactly, because the KJV preceded them. God created the meaning of the words in the Holy Bible itself. People read the Holy Bible and picked up those meanings. The dictionaries of men merely reflect the culture.

KJV-ONLY, BIBLE WORSHIP, ETC. ETC.

Attempting to slam the topic into a KJV-Only straw man argument or a secular dictionaries argument is a major fail. Scholars agree that the English language did not become fixed until the King James Bible. Earlier editions, like the Tyndale and the Geneva, although practically identical to the KJV, did not always contain the built-in dictionary found in the KJV. They did not need it, because they were written at that unusual juncture in history when English was becoming English; the root languages of Anglo-Saxon, French, and Latin were still familiar.

[Dryhn]

Everyone used the KJV when I became a Christian. It was normal to read it with a group and a teacher who was learned. However, it is advised to look at it like you was studying a medical book and need a medical dictionary to go with it. I use a dictionary anyway, whatever translation I use. Some of the old testament names are tongue twisters. How many here use the spellchecker when typing? Well, the spellchecker is a dictionary.

Yes, just use a dictionary from the KJV era when dealing with words that make you go hmmmmm :)
