The Validity of the Kings James Bible

AK4

Well-Known Member
First let me say that I am a believer, a believer in the Bible, the King James Bible,
a believer of the word, and what is said in that word. And Jesus said: "Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."St. Matthew 16:28. Why? Why where these people selected not to die until the end of the world, until Satan is defeated,and the evils of the world erased? And again Jesus speaks: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass way."St. Matthew 24:35. Now that is a tremendous statement, just think of it, the whole universe, yes and including the earth, will pass away, but the words of Christ will not pass away. Now that is power!
Now I have two questions concerning this statement by Christ: 1: If this be so, that his word will not pass away, do we have access to that word? 2: If we do have access
to that word, where is it? If heaven and earth is passing away, and the words of
Christ are not, can we not rest assured that that word will not be corrupted? Especially by men? All right, where is the word? And who has been put in charge to
write it? Now lets go back to those who will not taste of death until Christ comes in
his kingdom, why were they set aside not to die, what purpose where they to fulfill?
Well this is my idea: Their main job was to write the King James Bible! The flawless
Bible. In all my days of reading this Bible I have found no fault in it, it is perfect,
it has to be, for the word of Christ can not pass away. Is the word of God going to be
corrupted by mere men? Nay I say, nay, nay, nay!

I will not stand for the changing of the scriptures to fit any one particular person, and would start a revolt if it were to be done.

I urge all Christians, whether you're Catholic or Protestant, to make sure that the Bible is not changed in any way.

Its already been changed throughout the centuries. Here is a list I "stumbled' on to.

I’m not going to say that this list is etched in stone. Here’s what this is: On authority of Professor C. Tisendorf’s notes on the reading of the two oldest Greek manuscripts, the Sinaitic and the Vatican #1209. The words listed, found in our common King James Version are not found in the oldest manuscripts.

He most likely didnt because if he did he ABSOLUTELY wouldnt make that statement.

After all, the language spoken by the common people of King James's kingdom, which was the target audience of his translation, is as different from our English, all the modern dialects of it, as modern "Standard" English is from Ebonic English. They're completely different dialects.

(...you know, I'd love to read a Bible in Ebonic English. That'd be awesome!)

I agree that the only bible to be reading is the KJV. That being said there are things found there that should not. Such as easter. I found it once in the kjv and went and looked up original word. The same exact word that was translated easter was translated passover everywhere else it was found. Any of the newer versions are written with a denomination at the helm. A word added here or a word left out there altars the whole meaning of a passage. As for your 2 guys not seeing death till they see the kingdom. They already have seen the kingdom in a vision. They are dead, gone, and buried.

You say they are dead, gone, and buried. I say prove it.

Out of curiousity, is this different from what you've found with any other version of the Bible?

For example, how many faults have you found in your study of the Vulgate? Please be specific.

You did study other versions of the Bible before deciding that the KJV is the best of all of them, right?

What I need to do here is write another blog to show how corrupted other bibles are v.s.the King James, this will however take some time. And I did say, from the very
beginning of these blogs, that I was going to cause as much trouble as possible, I hope I succeed.

Uh...

That's strictly not allowed here, and if you keep that attitude up, you'll be banned faster than you can say "proselytizing", and whatever you hoped to accomplish will be for naught. These threads will pass into obscurity and forgotten completely, if not outright deleted by the mods.

Besides, you're not stirring up trouble at all. I'm sorry to say that many of us are not taking your posts seriously at all. Personally, I don't care if you feel the King James Bible to be the end-all Word of God(a role that was written for Jesus, not a codex), but some of us don't. If you hope to make any kind of stamp here, you first need to learn how to respect our beliefs and accept that nothing you say will quickly change them.

I say prove that they are still alive.

This proves that there dead...

Heb 9:27 - Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

And besides John didnt die until he saw Jesus in His kingdom----Uuuh didnt he write the book of Revelations

But you dont wanna believe that now do you? :no:

It's unlikely John who wrote the Apocalypse bearing his name is the same John who wrote the fourth canonical gospel and subsequent letters.

I find it disturbing that you list your religion as "King James Bible"...

While I really enjoy the KJV, I love the language, it is not perfect, it is a translation over a thousand years after the fact...

Matthew 16:28 refers to the occurrence in Matthew 17 regarding the transfiguration. Three apostles witnessed ademonstration of Jesus "coming into his kingdom". THis is verified by Peter at 2 Peter 1:16-18

You are very right about Matthew 24:35... it is a very powerful scripture. especially when you consider Psalms 104:5 (Who laid the foundation of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever KJV), Psalms 78:69 or Ecclesiates 1:4 (the earth abideth for ever KJV). Jesus was using an statement similiar to "I'll eat my own shoe" to demonstrate the things he speaks of will occur.

Actually it was the very same John. Although listed last in bible Revelation was not the last book written. It was completed around 96 C.E while the Gospel of John and his 3 letters where completed 2 yrs later.

There is no evidence for that, I'm afraid, and what evidence there is, like writing style and subject matter, points to them being different people. After all, the name John was as common then as it is now.

Papias, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian and Justin Martyr all referred to Revelation as the writing of the apostle John. Abd the writing styles of the Gospel and 1 John are similiar. His position as the "older man" (last living apostle) must have been commom knowledge to his audience therefore leaving no reason for him to explain himself.

Jesus was also a common name during biblical times. And if The Apostle John was not the writer who was?

There is no consensus (much less proof) that the author was the "last living apostle." See, for example ...

I agree that there is no consensus. Although that argument (consensus) could be used for 110% of the bible.
I suggest you read the available scholarship - something that you've clearly (and, perhaps, dogmatically) avoided. The text referenced above is widely respected and would be a good place to start.

So some people all agreed that John who wrote his namesake Apocalypse was the same as the Apostle John, who is attributed to the fourth canonical Gospel and subsequent letters. These are people who lived centuries after the fact, so I don't think they have any authority on this issue.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying that the Apostle John was not the same John who wrote his namesake Apocalypse, they very well could be the same person. It's just that there is no real evidence to support that and we already have two Johns in the Jesus story: the Apostle and the Baptist. Why can't we have a third?

And I know Jesus was a common name at the time; the author of Ecclesiasticus(one of the Apocryphal books) was named Jesus.
