It's ironic.
People seem to love to belittle others who believe that the King James Bible
is God's preserved words in English, and trust it.
But they’re not even sure what they believe.
You want proof?
Hi, I’m David Daniels from Chick Publications.
“You King James people are all alike!”
How many times have you heard it, read it, or had it said to you?
They even have an abbreviation for it: KJVO. They treat it like it's a virus.
They ridicule it. They push it away. They're afraid they might catch it!
How dare we trust something that's infallibly true!
How dare we trust it above our own preferences, our own opinions,
our own professors and preachers!
How dare we judge others by an infallible standard!
Beyond all the hype, it’s simple.
God promised (and God’s promises mean something) to preserve His words.
Jesus said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away”
If they “shall not pass away,” then they’re still here.
That means we can FIND them. And we believe we HAVE them.
We believe that God preserved His words through His faithful followers
throughout the centuries.
And that those words and the correct translation of them are the KJV.
Why is that so threatening?
“Well... you BELIEVE IT!” Yes, we do.
“Well, you…. base your thoughts and your aspirations and your hopes
and your beliefs and your morals on it!" Yes, we do.
“Well, it’s wrong! You’ve got to look at MY version!!” Why?
Brothers and sisters, this is the point.
Why should we, who believe the KJV, have to look at any modern version?
If someone tells you you've got to believe their modern version,
Ask THEM a question.
Do you believe every word, every phrase, every sentence, every chapter,
every book of your Bible? "Pretty much."
Oh, so you aren't even sure what YOU believe,
but you are angry at me because I believe I have God’s words?
“But my bible is 95% correct!!” (…or 99% correct, whatever)
Great! You show me which 95% I can believe, and then which 5% I can throw out!
See, they have a Bible that's 95% the same as the King James,
and since they started using them, something started happening.
They started openly questioning basic doctrines,
like whether Christ is God and eternal, the existence of heaven and hell,
the existence of angels and devils,
whether you must do works to be saved, whether you must do works to stay saved,
important doctrines like that.
You know, maybe that 5% difference,
adding to and taking away from God's words, was... BAD.
And the Devil's just laughin' and scratchin' and pattin' himself on the back!
He's got so many people doubting God’s words, with just 5% or 1% difference!
It just didn't take much, did it?
The bottom line: it’s hypocrisy to lay into those
who believe that God preserved His words
and believe those words... when you don't trust yours.
And what’s wrong with that, anyway?
Great men of God have trusted these words in the last 400 years!
We KJV Only people are alike in this,
We all believe that God’s words are more important than our own opinions.
And we are all unwilling to change God’s words, to suit our own opinions.
How about you?
God bless you, and have a wonderful day.
