RevBob said:In case you haven't noticed, I'm a Bible believer. So, obviously, "KJVO", though I don't like this designation.
You do not demonstrate that you are a true Bible believer by advocating and following non-scriptural KJV-only opinions that are not stated in the Bible. KJV-only advocate is clearly a more accurate description of your modern view than Bible believer is.
RevBob said:We have the Christian Bible--KJB. That's it.
The fact remain that the KJV is not only the Christian Bible. The Christian Bible existed before 1611. The KJV is only one imperfect English translation, and it has not been demonstrated to be a perfect, inerrant translation of the preserved Scriptures in the original languages. The Scriptures were translated into English before 1611, and some of those good pre-1611 English Bibles are still available today. I have reprint editions of all the pre-1611 English Bibles of which the KJV was a revision. The makers of the KJV maintained that the pre-1611 English Bibles were the word of God in English, and they borrowed the majority of their renderings from them. The makers of the KJV even borrowed a number of renderings from the 1582 Roman Catholic Rheims New Testament. The KJV is actually more of a revision than it is a new original translation. I also have a copy of the 1842 English Bible [a revision of the KJV by Bible-believing Baptists]. There are other English translations that are the word of God in English in the exact same sense as you would inconsistently claim for only the KJV.
