David, You wrote, in red, in response to my number 6 proposal: 6. From that point on, the Textus Receptus manuscripts ceased to be the preserved word of God, and now the King James English translation became the word of God. NO; Nothing ceased from being what has always been nor will it. The Holy Bi...

Zack, we need to encourage Dusty to post his other articles on his site. Also, you can go to the Media Spotlight site and use their contact form to request the articles be sent via the postal service. In these debates it sometimes appears that the choice is between KJV Only versus defending the mode...

David, I've quoted below your comments (in red, responses to my numbered items) that relate to this topic. Thanks for the input! 4.

In order to believe in the King James Only position, it seems to me that one must believe that our Lord gave to the King James translators a similar authority and infallibility as He gave to the Apostles who over saw the writing of the New Testament.

Here's more of what Dusty Peterson says about these two groups of manuscripts: In the previous piece we learn...

Zack,

I agree that the question of the infallibility of the KJ translators is an important one.

I've created a new topic to focus on this issue: Infallibility of King James Translators

Please try to discuss things without offending. I'm one to talk. Sometimes I think it is necessary to risk offending people to ensure they are awake and so they don't just think they are listening to the normal Evangelical Churchianity drivel. But... I think that David and Zack are both awake and li...

I've added the abbreviations you suggested, Zach. Also, I think there might be a way you could add some, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, Zach for the suggestions!

Jim

Aye, Zach. I be working on it! Jim

Brother David, Let me outline what I understand you to be saying about how God has preserved his word: 1. Our Lord used men, either Apostles or under the authority of Apostles, to write the words for our New Testament in the original manuscripts in Greek and Aramaic. 2. God enabled believers in Chri...

"The "New Testament" portion of Bibles today is based on one or the other of two "families" of Greek manuscripts. For simplicity Dusty called these families "A" and "B". Members of family B can differ from family A by as much as 10,000 words, but they can...
