KJV Preachin!
Here are some well meaning but misguided preachers proclaiming the "doctrine" of the King James Version as "The Only Bible".
Some comments that stuck out to me are:
One guy says ,"the KJV is for this generation".. what about the generations before the KJV. How did they make it spiritually. He also says " that the King James is the Bible “that’s up in heaven.” Say what?
Another guys says, “I have a photocopy of a 1611 that matches my Bible today word-for-word.” What?! That’s nothing more than a bald-faced lie! There are 24,000 revisions (many of them small) between the original 1611 and the current 1769 revision that most people are using in the modern English-speaking world. I have a reprint in my office of a 1611, with an apocrypha and it is different than a "newer King James".
Then one pastor says "you can't be saved out of these versions. Or "it produces another type of salvation", It is bad seed"? That is border line blasphemy. Wouldn't you agree? So what he is saying is "that every person in the world that wasn't saved by direct result of the KJV is lost."
He is saying anyone saved under the ministry of: Greg Laurie, Charles Stanley, Billy Graham, John MacArthur, James MacDonald, David Jeremiah, John Piper, Tommy Nelson, Francis Chan, Matt Chandler, Lon Solomon, Joe Brown, Jamie Steele....etc are not saved!!
Do you agree with that statement? I would like to know. If you "prefer" the King James "Version" that is fine. But to put down other translations of the "Bible" to say others can't be saved from them is WRONG! I'm sure you would have to agree with me.
With that said, the King James is a great "translation". It is one of the best but preachin like this must stop! Too bad to see Truth mixed with error. God help us, we are in a mess!

I don't think that I am smart enough to preach a thirty minute sermon with as many circular arguments and logical fallacies as this six and a half minute video.
The sad thing about these preachers is that they never gave any evidence to prove their point about the KJV.
All they said was "don't listen" and "I don't care" and "I'm gonna fight" regarding the sufficiency of the KJV.
The KJV is not a bad translation. It is in fact quite good. However, good students of the Bible ought to read multiple translations, understand the theological perspectives of the various translation committees, and maybe engage in some original language studies. Just some thoughts...
Thanks for the comments Tim. Well taken and so true. Also thanks for not giving me a hard time over the beat down Duke gave UNC!
Scott,
Paul did use the KJV. Didn't he?
