For the 50th time...
In my opinion, there are 2 kinds of Bible believers:
1. Those who believe God must have given us a perfect (define how you please) Bible that is still available to us today in a final, understandable form. Hence, the KJB.
2. Those who believe God inspired the original writers and that a perfect Bible still exists in the multitude of preserved manuscripts. Through diligent study we can determine what the original writers transcribed by comparing, contrasting, accepting, and eliminating various differences.
Although I hold to the first option by faith, logic, and study, I still consider those of the 2nd opinion true Bible Believers and in no way inferior to myself.
Others take the KJV only position to crazy levels. On this, we agree. But believing in a single, God ordained translation is certainly not "heresy."
The only KJVO I?ve seen referenced as a heretic is Anderson.
I am not KJVO. As a younger Pastor, I did significant, sincere research on the subject and cameto the position I now hold. You, and some others here seem like reasonable sound men. But in
my experience you are in the minority of KJVO?s.
Most KJVO?s always lead with that issue and define us as Bible deniers, among other things.
I have had many, many folk visit our church (mostly Christians relocating to our area) ask me if we were KJVO. Almost always they are people who seek to flee that ?lunacy?.
