KJV 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
I am not a KJV Only.
I believe all scripture is given by inspiration of God.
Respectfully ask, Are there any moderators who believe the KJV Holy Bibles are scripture ?
Its one of many translations. I use the amplified version which I think is the best.

Respectfully ask, Are there any moderators who believe the KJV Holy Bibles are scripture ?
Yes, but not exclusively.
The KJV is the version of the Bible that I use most often, and I generally refer to the Textus Receptus (the Greek text upon which the KJV is based) as my Greek text.
But, I do believe that other translations are Scripture.

Yes, but not exclusively.
#1. You cannot honestly state you have scripture if you believe only the original manuscripts
were given by inspiration of God. There are no original manuscripts.
#2. You cannot honestly say "the bible" or "all bibles" are given by inspiration of God.
There are over 400 (Christian, Catholic, Cult) Greek, Syrian, Latin, German, English,
French, Spanish, etc. bibles which do not match in content, volume or doctrine.
#3. You cannot honestly say "the Greek N.T." or "all N.T. Greek texts"
are given by inspiration of God.There are over 24 reconstructed (Christian, Catholic, Cult)
Greek N.T. texts which do not match in content, volume or doctrine.

Probably I define inspiration differently than you do. You seem to subscribe to a theory of verbal inspiration or dictation. But I don't. I believe that, while God directed the writers as to the content of Scripture, He allowed them to choose their own words to convey that message.
With that in mind, I don't find it particularly important whether a translation says "you" or "thou" in any particular verse, or even leaves out some margin notes or asides, as long as the overall message of the book is preserved and understood.
Here's an article that gives information on various views of inspiration of the Bible: http://www.theopedia.com/Inspiration_of_the_Bible (http://www.theopedia.com/Inspiration_of_the_Bible)
You stated you have scipture and that the KJV Holy Bible is scripture.
Do you have scipture defined by KJV 2 Timothy 3:16 ?

I use the same verse, but I find the English is poor here, and prefer the Greek text (Textus Receptus). I'm not sure how to make Greek letters here, so I'll leave it to you to look it up.

Oh, ok, thank you, GCCF is the best !
When someone asks for research references are we allowed to suggest websites ?
You sure can. Just don't put it in your sig or start spamming it on every post, and it'll be just fine.
If I speaking to two different groups about the same topic
and I want to say the same thing to both groups
and I post the same thought, is that spamming ?
As long as what you say applies to the topic of both threads it would not be spamming.
I started a new thread (Five reasons why you should believe the KJV Holy Bible.) .
Same topic as (AV 1611 KJV Holy Bible)
different orientation and redirected educational psychology.

The same individuals continually attack KJV Holy Bibles.
They continually repeat the same amateur accusations,
so I repeat the same response. What I post I wrote.
I have examined over 400 accusations against KJV Holy Bibles
and not one single attack is valid.
KJV Holy Bibles are the most published, read and loved bibles of all time,
yet these individuals are not warned about their hateful comments towards me.

A strong word of advise.You need to allow Christians to use whever Bible is best and most helpful to them, and not keep trying to make others use the same one as you. I have used the amplified version for 25 years and love it. To me is by far the best version and I have tried several. You use what YOU like, but please leave others to do the same.
Hello...
I am new to the forum and I hope I am not out of line by jumping right in and getting to know everyone while sharing my views. First let me say that I am very open minded and as long as you can support your ideas with proof, I am willing to consider anything said. That being said, in my opinion I would much rather read a bible that is a "Translation" as opposed to a "Version". There are plenty of different bibles but I take into consideration the word translation means that you take the same information and translate it to an understandable language. On the other hand, version means it is a variant of another. Does anyone agree? I do read the KJV but I prefer NWT

The thing is those labels are not hard and fast. The KJ
Version was a fresh translation in 1611. The NIV (New International
Version) and the ESV (English Standard
Version) are both current fresh translations.
OTOH, the Good News Translation and New Living Translation ares actually more paraphrases of earlier translations, what you call a "version."
Does anyone agree? I do read the KJV but I prefer NWT
I agree that proper translations are usually better than paraphrases. That said, translations can be "word for word" or more phrase by phrase. The New American Standard Bible and the NIV are examples of each respectively. But translations that are slanted can lead people astray. That is why the translation team should represent a cross section of doctrinal stances.
Your NWT is one such translation. It is fatally flawed in it being exclusively the work of Jehovah Witness translators and is slanted toward their doctrine.
I believe the KJV to be an incomplete collection of the scriptures and not one that Christians should use.
Incomplete in what way?
The 1611 KJV had the entire deuterocannonical books included.
I wasn't aware that he was referring to the 1611 version.
He ALWAYS refers back to the 1611 KJV.

While the entire line of scripture are records, the outstanding record of scripture
and the scripture of final authority is the published text and form
of the AV 1611 KJV Holy Bible first edition.
All KJV Holy Bibles are editions of the AV 1611 KJV Holy Bible first edition.
KJV Holy Bibles are the most published, read and loved bibles of all time.
KJV Holy Bibles are the most published, read and loved books of all time.
( USA Bible Society 2013 )
The Record Theory independently answers the questions of final authority
and final canonization (books and words).
The dynamic Purified Text Theory supports the Record Theory,
demonstrated categorically and conclusively
in the manuscript evidence, bible canonization, bible doctrine,
billions of bibles and computational linguistics.

I was just referring to the KJV in general... Not the 1611 version but the version we all see today. It is just my opinion but I believe that replacing JEHOVAH with LORD was incorrect and should not have happened. If they replaced that what else was replaced?

I'm NOT a Jehovah Witness but this bothers me as well. I wish every place it said LORD, it would say YHWH or some other form of the Name.
I use the KJV because I like the Old English, but I do not believe any translation is Holy Spirit inspired... only the original manuscripts. All our "versions" have flaws.
It was changed out of overt respect for The Name and the poverty of the English Language as a receptor language to translate the originals into.
Then it became a tradition.
As is those verbs that have more than one tense at a time. They are translated as past tense even though more than one tense is intended.
John 1:12 is a prime example. All three tenses are intended. Past, present, and future all three at the same time but it is translated as past tense as if the opportunity is over and done with.
: erikad99 Sun Apr 07, 2013 - 13:22:46
It is just my opinion but I believe that replacing JEHOVAH with LORD was incorrect and should not have happened.
"Jehovah" was a bad transliteration to begin with. In the vowel pointed Masoretic text of the Hebrew OT, the word is Yud Hay Vav Hay but instead of vowel points to try and pronounce the Tetragramaton (4 letter proper name of God) the Masorites put in the vowels from "Adonai" (Lord). That is what is said in Jewish readings of the biblical texts and prayers. Otherwise they use "HaShem," the Name.
So the KJV translators saw the YHVH letters - substituted "J" for the "Y" (as they did frequently) and used the vowels from Adonai. Jehovah is what they were left with.
IMO "LORD" in all caps with a note in the preface saying that it is used for Yud Hay Vav Hay is a fine way to go with it.
[you Do read your translation notes, right?]
