It is suggested that I have no right to
publish my own opinion on my own blog and
the demand is made that I share everyone
else's opinion. All nonsense. Sounds much
like the leftist position of equality for
all.

How many times do I need to affirm the KJV?

How many times do I need to affirm
individual believers who read that version?

What I refuse to affirm is the notion that
non-KJV versions, all of them, are of the
Devil.

What I refuse to affirm is that KJV readers
are somehow a cut above the rest of us.

God speaks His Word in every honest
translation attempt. I do not include JW or
certain charismatic Bibles in this category
and I have given reasons.

Those who continue to attack rather than
edify or ask honest questions will continue
to be deleted, and encouraged to start a
blog of their own...

I take it as a personal responsibility to
protect the veracity of Scripture by
protecting the veracity of translations such
as the NKJV and several others.

I take it as a personal responsibility to
vilify Bible-burners and cultists.

I will continue to delete adversarial
comments.

One point I am making in this post is that
those who have villified Westcott have
probably not listened to the man himself.

Another point is that all translators and
Biblical scholars are flawed, whether
Catholic priest Erasmus who indirectly was
responsible for the KJV or Westcott or
Spurgeon or all the KJV translators or all
the ESV translators. Given enough time, we
could pick apart any one of them.

But that would be time wasted. For the
"picker" is flawed too. And so am I.

Those who have an agenda of promoting their
own views on a subject must find another
venue, of which there are many on the
internet.

I will continue to delete comments that are
in attack mode rather than in the spirit of
honest inquiry.

1. The KJV is the Word of God. But

2. The KJV is not the only translation by
which I will be saved and sanctified and
brought to Heaven.

3. Those who trash the Scriptures because
they are in translations they are not used
to, endanger themselves and many others.

4. I have never banned the KJV. But the KJV
people ban other Bibles, even burn them.

I think also of the mixed multitude that first came to America's shores. Some to worship God, some to find gold. Like the mixed bag that has been called Christianity through the years.

Think of all of Rome's unholy additions to the purity of the Church.

You correctly point out that God saves a mixture of people. I was making the point that evil has been sewn in the midst of God's people.

As for your comment about Jews, since "Jew" is nothing more than a short form of Judah, and Judah has already come and gone in the story, I think it is fair to anticipate the name Jew. But I understand your point.

I do take seriously, if not painfully, your suggestion of bias in my writing and speaking. I have strived to be biased only by Truth as found in Scripture and the Son of God. May God have mercy on me if what you say is true.

Thanks for your observations, and attempting to keep the old guy sharp.
