Define errors?
Use the definition you used when you said, "The KJV is without error."
List the versions that are without error, and those that are in error.

ccfromsc, yes, really.Job_41 ... Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? ... even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Leviathan? Really? a dragon?
I don't think that by saying a verse should say "turtle dove" instead of "turtle", or "the entire Roman world" instead of "all the world" is judging by men's standards, I think it's common sense.
:up: That's what I did and have been doing since I finally got saved! It has changed my life!Challenge:
Take a few months. Read through the KJB a few times with the attitude that I'm going to believe every single word no matter what.
You will be amazed with what God will show you, if you are saved.
Believing God promised to preserve his words, and believing that you have them in a book, is not creating an idol.
Having also debated in some detail with a few KJVO members here, and not once received an answer to obvious and straightforward questions, my guess is that quite a number of questions will also remain unanswered even in a debate at this high level.

If I told you that I believe God preserved His words in the Geneva Bible, what would you say?

I would respect you for believing God preserved his words, and taking a stand.
I would be glad that you were taking the attitude of a believer.
1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
I give the match to the KJV
Would you be able to demonstrate that I'm wrong?
Why would I want to argue with you for believing you had the pure words of the Lord? That's what an unbeliever would do.Would you disagree with me that the Geneva Bible is God's perfect and preserved word?

Patrick, what was the single best argument Will Kinney gave in the debate to show that the KJV is the only inspired scripture on earth and all other Bibles are uninspired?
I have a hard copy of theGenevaKing James Version bible. Actually, it kept changing over the years, so they are not all the same, but though it was a pretty good bible it most certainly was NOT the finished product
Well, my thanks go to all the participants in the debate, especially to BE and WD for actually giving us a proper debate with real research, rather than WK, whose contribution was 90% regurgitated from his own website and other writings, which only shows rather his contempt for the debate, the other parties in the debate and those following it.
Indeed, what I wrote before the debate even began has been fulfilled to the letter:
The KJVO position relies for its support on playing a psychological flaw in some Christians that allows them to be bullied or emotionally blackmailed into reading the KJB because no one else claims that any other version or translation is 100% inerrant. But merely claiming that it is 100% inerrant doesn't make it so. The KJVO position is thus anti-intellectual, oppressive and despicable.
Now, I know that many folks who are regular contributors on TOL hold the KJV in high regards. One of the successes of the KJVO movement is to ride piggy-back on that high regard and claim it for the movement. I can sure accept the spirituality of people like STP or Heir for examples. However the KJVO movement makes it look like that spirituality is equivalent of their own teachings. As a matter of fact, we all believe that God's word is inerrant but some of us have been deceived into believing that this means there is a 100% inerrant translation in our own language.
God has only once written down the words of the scriptures and that was when he wrote himself the Ten commandments. Will Kinney and others are so full of pride that they think they are important enough for God to go a stage further and write down the full text of the Bible in their own language, which just so happens to be English, more than what he ever did to Moses, or Elijah, or Isaiah or Ezra.
I sincerely hope that those who appreciate the great translation that the KJB is will see through this ruse and distance themselves from it. Otherwise, the KJB itself will become a victim due to its association with such lunacy.
I did that with the Bible I first read through from end to end, which was the NASB. And yes it was amazing what God showed me.
I believe the underlying Greek and Hebrew manuscripts are a higher authority. And so in this instance, the KJV is an accurate translation. In other places it is not. When the KJV does not accurately represent the underlying Greek and Hebrew, what do you do with that?
