So, why do you think the Word of Truth is a piece of wood?
I believe the word of truth is "the gospel of your salvation".

Tico. I'm just telling you what the complete and inerrant words of God Bible is and where you can get one. You don't have to believe me.
The KJV translators got it from the Bishop's Bible
2 Timothy 2:15 Bishops' Bible
Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workman not to be ashamed, rightlie deuidyng the worde of trueth.
The Bishop's Bible has apparently been superseded by the principle of translational abrogation which passed the mantle of inspiration on the the Cambridge edition of the KJV. Fortunately for us the Bishop's Bible was not inspired otherwise we would be stuck with all those Early English Spellings in stead of the archaic but more modern Elizabethan language of the KJV.
Tet,
Based on the definition of error you used when you said, "The KJV is without error", please list all of the versions with errors and those without errors.
Every bible is the word of God.
Does MAD cause division among the brethren?
Why do many of them contradict one another?
You said a few days ago most are without error.
Which ones have errors?
I have asked you over and over again to tell us what an error is, and you keep refusing to answer the question.
Use the definition you used when you said "The KJV is without error" , and tell us which ones have errors.
I'm asking you.
I'm asking you.
You also said the KJV was without error.
Which ones have errors?
You can't know this without being able to answer the following questions:
Who authorized Cambridge to maintain the purity of the KJB? When did Cambridge finally know it had a pure version to maintain? How did Cambridge know it was pure?
Here is a further question. You say I don't have to believe you, but is it a sin to reject the assertion that Cambridge has the authority to maintain the purity of the KJB? If so, when did God communicate this rule to mankind?
I went to the Cambridge website, and found that they publish the following translations:
English Standard Version
King James Version
New American Standard Bible
New English Bible
New International Version
New King James Version
New Living Translation
New Revised Standard Version
The Revised English Bible
Tyndale
Revised Version
I believe most word-for-word are true and accurate (and it is hard to tell the difference between them: NAS, KJV, ESV etc.). The idea-for-idea translations like the New Living Translation and the NIV are more subjective, though one agreeing with their theology would say they are without errors. I think, in such cases, I'm alright with KJV proponents. Some, even of KJVO allow for reading the other texts as helpers to their KJV reading. I have little beef with those either. If someone can, I'd encourage the reading of Greek and Hebrew (I have about a year of each). The Hebrew Bible has remain largely unchanged except for a bit of variance in copying. They are readily evident though, so we know which is the mistake (misspelling etc.). Even in the case of the Greek difference, which are more different because of missing verses, all translations put those verses either in with caveat or in the margins.Use the definition you used when you said "The KJV is without error" , and tell us which ones have errors.
