You need to reread what he said.

This is what I've been saying this entire time. He still cannot provide any example from the texts that would cause me or anyone to reject what Will Duffy said in the sermon I mentioned earlier, nor the person he quoted.

Please take it to a new thread.

I literally just got done explaining this to him earlier. He ignored it. I'm not surprised you have to repeat it.

So you can't provide one shred of evidence that the texts contradict in a meaningful way, yet you expect me to believe you when you say that they do? What a joke! You're the one making the claim that the KJV is inerrant, marke! You can appeal to authority (a fallacy) all you like, but it...

No. We CAN say that we preach the word of God, and that the message contained within the Bible is correct, despite the errors the Bible contains, BECAUSE of the fact that God wrote a robust book that can survive a few errors creeping in. Inerrancy is a different matter altogether, though...

Well you know what they say about assuming things, because that's not what he said or is suggesting at all. It's not just a belief, marke. It's reality. NOT ONE of the Bibles in existence today are inerrant. That would imply perfection where humans are involved, and no human is perfect, let...

Just saw a (thankfully silenced) portion of a trailer for a new Disney movie in my instagram feed. It was for a live-action film version of "The Little Mermaid". Ariel (the main character) is supposed to be fair skinned, red lips, red hair, and large, aqua blue eyes, a mermaid through and...

Sorry, but there's no specific mention of any particular Bible version in that article. In other words, confirmation bias much?

I addressed this. You've seemingly ignored it.

Opinion. If you think the same doesn't apply to the KJV, you're naive. So what? https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/stewart_don/faq/words-bible/question4-original-manuscripts-of-the-bible.cfm As if that wasn't obvious... And I have "experts" who explain convincingly that the Bible is...

This is called "begging the question." It's a logical fallacy for a reason. No, it's not unclear. In fact, it's far more clear than any other Bible translation, simply because it has that footnote which gives an explanation on why it's included. Wrong. What it says is that the verses: "are...

A matter of opinion.

Wait, are you saying that Mark 16:9-20 should or should not be included in the Bible? If "should," then what's your problem? Even the NKJV keeps it. Yes, and? Yeah, he is, marke. It's called "God's word" for a reason, Marke. Again, we come back to the question (which you still have not...

So what? Sounds like a bunch of laws made up by a control frea who can't stand the idea of someone using any Bible that isn't the one they prefer. Care to provide an example of this? Or are you just going to leave it at the level of bald-faced claim. Just because they're confusing to you...

Worth reading the entire thread, when you have time. :) I feel like people get me and RD mixed up more than they should... haha It's one of the biggest problems I face when discussing this topic, and topics like this. No one seems to be able to think outside their own little box of reality...

Perhaps you should grow thicker skin, because name-calling WITH cause is allowed, even encouraged. Here on TOL, we call a spade a spade.

So in other words, all you have are your personal preferences. Fine. But you don't have any valid reason for it. I'd rather have a reason for my beliefs. And? A matter of opinion. Versions such as the NKJV (which like the KJV, is a "formal equivalence" translation) has notes for when...

Good for you. No one cares. Make an actual argument. Saying it doesn't make it so, marke! Again, they are 98-99% in agreement. That's a fact. Referring to a book that no one has access to, and failing to provide an example from said book, means that no one knows what you're talking about...

"Instead of dividing over the few textual variances that exist in the Greek manuscripts, we should join hands because of the overwhelming consistency of the New Testament manuscripts, because that overwhelming consistency among them is actually evidence of its reliability!" -Will Duffy, Sermon...
