I personally believe the original autographs were inspired. God made available a blank piece of paper (vellum, papyrus, etc.) and used sinful men like Moses, David, Solomon, Peter, Paul, etc. to write His words. And I believe you believe this also, however, I go one step further than most. I also believe in the preservation of those words already written and God using men to preserve them, and I have them in the English language, Scriptures. Both inspiration and preservation are actions by God and we are assured by God as stated in Psalm 12:6,7 and are found ONLY in the KJV1611 Bible.
I am very interested as to how a person would answer these questions if they do NOT believe that the KJV or any single version would be considered the inspired and preserved words of God and also called the Word of God.
This is great - you should see the answers I am receiving. Some folks will really stretch their brain to try to 'prove' God's word and words only exist in some form of mystical magical form. You know, most folks just don't want to admit that the KJV would be the final form of His words as promised in Psalm 12:6,7. - Why? They don't want to put themselves into and under God's authority. Just like Eve in the garden - she thought it would be cool to be as a god - and these folks, they act like they are their own gods.
1. Why would God inspire the originals and then not
preserve them as promised -
(note: I am talking about the words, not the papers,
pieces, etc?)
2. If you claim God has allowed some errors in the
Bible today,
why do you not afford Him for making some errors in
the originals?
3. Isn't the kind of faith you have "convenient" since
it cannot be tested?
After all, since all the perfect set of originals
are LOST or either DESTROYED,
you can rest safely in the fact that you can be challenged,
but you will never be proven wrong
since the EVIDENCE needed to prove you wrong (the
"lost originals") is lost.
4. Are you afraid to dare put the same faith in a Bible available today?
5. Isn't it a fact that to believe in a perfect set
of originals,
but not believe in a perfect English Bible, is to
believe NOTHING at all?
6. To enforce a "convenient faith," would you go so
far as to say, as others have said,
that what God actually meant in Ps. 119:89 is that
He preserved His perfect Bible
in a library up in Heaven, and not on earth?
7. If this is true, then didn't God write a book to Himself, and not to man?
8. What is Scripture?
9. WHO taught you the King James Bible is not the word of God?
10. If "Scripture(s)" refers to the "original manuscripts,"
then wasn't Jesus really being deceptive to His listeners?
(Matt. 21:42; 22:29; Mk. 12:10,24;
Lk. 24:27; Jn. 2:22; 7:38, 42; 19:37; 20:9 etc.)
11. If you claim the King James has errors, then I
would have to conclude
the King James Bible is not the inerrant Bible.
What is?
The NASV? The NKJV? The LB? The NEB? The ASV? The
JB?
The NAB? The NWT, etc. etc. etc.?
12. Since most Bible colleges and insitutes believe
only the originals are inspired,
aren't they really teaching a form of Deism?
