Every time I ask you a question, you demand that I do your homework. Not happening. If you can't be bothered to prove your own arguments, I can't be bothered to believe them.
No seriously Scott, have you looked into the King James Code?
Ransom said:
Ditto. Do you have a point to make? Don't waste my time telling me to make it for you.
Yep I sure do Scott. My point is that the modern Vatican versions are dead books. The NIV is a dead book, that is why they have to keep revising it. And making an edition for moms, and an edition for the teens, and an edition to appease the feminists. Did you know that the NIV right from the very beginning was in financial trouble, that is why it was bought out by Zondervan.
Ransom said:
"Is too!"
You have a problem distinguishing opinion statements from fact statements.
And I just gave you a fact. And that is that the King James Holy Bible is the Book of books. It is the perfect, inerrant and infallible word of God. And you cannot prove otherwise.
Ransom said:
Something your "One Bible" never claims for itself. Why should I believe you? You tell me - don't get me to tell myself again.
Oh really? Well we'll let the Scriptures speak for themselves:
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
- Job 23:12 (KJV)
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
- Psalm 119:4 (KJV)
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to
thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments
- Psalm 119:9-10 (KJV)
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget
thy word.
17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep
thy word.
- Psalm 119:15-17 (KJV)
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from
thy commandments.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept
thy testimonies.
23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in
thy statutes. - Psalm 119:21-23 (KJV)
25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to
thy word.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me
thy statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto
thy word. - Psalm 119:25-28 (KJV)
41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation,
according to thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in
thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in
thy judgments. - Psalm 119:41-43 (KJV)
57 Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep
thy words.
58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to
thy word.
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto
thy testimonies. - Psalm 119:57-59 (KJV)
104 Through
thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. - Psalm 119:104-105 (KJV)
127 Therefore I love
thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
128 Therefore I esteem
all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
- Psalm 119:127-128 (KJV)
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you
good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
- Proverbs 4:1-2 (KJV)
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in
the word and doctrine. - 1 Timothy 5:17 (KJV)
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to
wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
- 1 Timothy 6:3-5 (KJV)
15 And that from a child thou hast known
the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. - 2 Timothy 3:15-17 (KJV)
4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and
doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
- 2 Timothy 4:1-4 (KJV)
Well Scott. The word of God has a lot to say about the word and words of the Lord.
Now notice that last Scripture I posted, notice it says
"Preach the word." It does not say preach the original manuscripts.
In order to preach the word, we must have the word of the Lord.
Now Scott, I know I have the words of God. And they are from His Book.
Ransom said:
Well there are a lot of changes in the modern versions. Here is a link where you can look them up.

16. Fifty Stumbling Stones of the Laodicean Translations
Ransom said:
There is no "issue" to bring to his attention. Both he, and the church, are better informed than that.
Yes there is an issue sir. So stop trying to deny it. It is a big issue when wicked men are changing God's words. The NIV alone is said to have removed somewhere around 64,000 words from the text of the Bible. So again Scott. It is an issue. It is a very serious issue sir. And you need to study the Bible Version Issue more thoroughly before you make ignorant statements like that.
Either you are greatly deceived and misinformed, or you know about the issue and you choose to be blind willfully.
Ransom said:
He has done nothing to warrant that.
Well show him the Bible Version Issue. Show him the corruptions in the NIV, NASB, and ESV. Oh and you also may want to ask him if the believes that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible word of God. Make sure he truly believes that the Bible is God's holy word.
Ransom said:
Says you, but not the "Authorized King James Bible." You refute yourself by making theology up that you cannot even find in your own Bible.
Well Scott, doesn't the Bible tell us to preach the word? Yes it sure does tell us to preach the word. If the pastor of a church is not preaching the King James Bible, then he is not preaching the word.
The modern Vatican versions are simply counterfeits. They are not the word of God.
A Pastor of a church needs to stick with the English Text of the Protestant Reformation.
And he needs to reject the Jesuit Rheims Greek text of Westcott and Hort.
Ransom said:
Well it is. That is why the modern churches so apostate in these last days. Don't you know that we are living in the time of the falling away?
The Bible prophesied that there would come a falling away in the last days. And it is here. The main cause for the falling away is all the ridiculous modern bible counterfeits which contradict one another. I think the last time I checked, there were an estimated 230+ English translations on the market.
Ransom said:
That controversy predates any English Bible.
Okay? But was it as bad as it is today? The disagreements and discussions may had been around, but again, was there as much confusion as there is today?
Ransom said:
Now, come on. Admit you're just making this horse puckey up as you go along.
No. There is a falling away taking place. Humanism, Feminism, and all the other wicked humanistic philosophies have permeated in a lot of the modern churches. Again, this is reality Scott. So stop pretending to be ignorant about this. And if you don't see that we are living in a time of great apostasy, well then you lack spiritual discernment.

Heritage Theological Seminary

Southern Baptist Bible Seminary
Reformed Theological Seminary
Westminster Theological Seminary
You were saying?
Now do they believe the text of the King James Bible? And do they believe that the Bible (Singular) is the pure and inerrant word of God?
Because if the answer is no to those two questions, well then they are not Bible believing seminaries.
Ransom said:
Well Scott, they either believe the Bible or they do not. They either believe that the Bible is God's holy word or they do not. It is that simple sir. There is no grey area here. It is black and white.
Ransom said:
As much as you. Probably more, since their confidence is based on reality instead of false theology.
Now when you say false theology, what is exactly are you talking about?
Ransom said:
What am I, a mind reader? Ask them yourself.
Well you said they have every confidence in the word of God. Well if that is the case, which Bible is it?
I figured if you knew that they had every confidence in the word of God, then you would know which Bible they believed.
Or were you just saying that about them without really knowing whether or not they truly believed the Bible?
Ransom said:
Did you know that Psalm 12 is the 490th chapter of the Bible?
490 is the product of 70 x 7. Which is the number 70 multiplied by the number of perfection.
In Bible Numerics, the Number 7 is the number of perfection and divine completion. The number 7 is God's number of perfection. It signifies completion and perfection in God's eyes.
When God said:
"Let us make man in our image" this phrase has 7 words.
The first book of the Old Testament (Genesis) has 7 letters. The first book of the New Testament (Matthew) also has 7 letters.
The phrase:
"the word of the LORD" is found 245 times in the Old Testament in the King James Bible
245 is the product of 7 x 7 x 5. You have the number of perfection multiplied to itself and then multiplied by the number 5.
The phrase
"word of God" is found 49 times in the entire King James Bible. 49 is the product of 7 x 7.
The phrase
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts" is found 70 times in the King James Bible.
the word
"book" is found 188 times in the Authorized Version. The word
"books" is found 8 times.
So if you add both together, that is 196! Which is the product of 49 x 4.
These are just some of the Numerical codes are internal witnesses that bear witness to the fact that the King James Holy Bible is God's supernatural and perfect Book.
Ransom said:
So you admit I did answer the question. Why did you lie when you said I didn't?
I said that you did not give me a straight answer and you know it. Now either give me a straight forward
"yes" or
"no" answer to my question or just admit that you do not believe that any Bible is the perfect and inerrant word of God.
At least be honest about what you really believe Scott.
Ransom said:
Asked and answered, by your own admission.
Just give me a simple
"Yes" or
"No" to my question or just be honest enough to admit that you are a Bible agnostic.
Ransom said:
Yep, the King James Bible is the absolute Final Written Authority.
Ransom said:
Well I see you have no perfect replacement. Well that must mean that you really do not believe that the Bible is perfect and inerrant.
Well whether you believe it or not Scott. There is a perfect and absolute standard of written truth. And that is the King James Authorized Bible.
Ransom said:
I'll be happy to answer that question - in fact, I have already written it in a text editor, and I will paste it into the forum. That is, as soon as you answer my question instead of changing the subject again.
Just by way of reminder:
Ransom's question what Biblebeliever can't answer said:
Where does the Scripture say that "the book (singular) of the LORD" is the KJV?
Again, Scott, I will answer your question with a question. Does the word
"Bible" appear in the
Bible?
