Final Authority and Final Canonization

[1peterlight]

then why don't you state plain and simple what you conclude, no references, just plain and simple? if you dont believe there are any original manuscripts then what bible do you use or none?

I agree with 1peterlight... Since you believe there is no standard or don't believe in the original manuscripts (Btw, we have a couple of thousand of the ORIGINAL manuscripts of the OT except for the book of Ruth with the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery) what is the point of this thread? What do you believe is the truth then regarding the Bible? Curious.

KJ Only-ism is not allowed to be taught. If it is the intentions of the OP to discuss different versions, do so without condemnation or those who do not agree with your stance.

I am not a KJV Only or an Original Only.

KJV Only Christians are elementary bible believers .

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:

Original Only Christians are simple.

There are no original manuscripts.

You realize you've just insulted a good one tenth to one third of the members on this forum with your comment about KJV only and being elementary believers.

Again, you insult another good portion of the Worthy membership by calling them simple. I ask do you not believe the Dead Sea Scrolls are authentic?

Debate the subject, not the person. It is possible to disagree about a doctrine or subject under discussion without insulting the person with whom you are debating. Also remember that the fact that a person disagrees with you does not mean they are attacking you as a person. Respect each other in the love of God!

Weren't The Original Scriptures In Hebrew?

And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Exodus 24:4

And Aren't They Even Today Found Intact In Synagogue?

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Psalms 12:6-7

So, I Should Now Give Up My Beloved KJV And NIV And NASB And NET....

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Proverbs 30:5-6

And Join A Hebrew Assembly Just Because You Will Not Believe The Clear Words Of God?

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. Titus 3:2

Believe

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

And Be Blessed Beloved

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. John 15:9-12

Love, Joe

Yes, the original texts were in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic Joe.

Before this thread is closed, ( which I only say, because it appears that's where this is quickly heading) Let me ask what someone else did. What's the point of this thread? To insult people? To put down those who read a different bible? Maybe I'm missing how this is edifing to the body or Glorifing God? Could the OP (makahiya117) please explain and help me understand the point. Just because someone dosen't agree with everything we do or what bible we read, does not make then simple, or a hertic, or believing lies. It could just mean there at a different place in there walk with God than we are. Not a better place or worse place, just a different place. Does it matter if it's the KJV or the NIV as long as it's Jesus they come too?

[GoldenEagle]

I wish to post my theory of final authority and final canonization

not to doubtful disputation, envy, strife or contention

but in sincerity and love.

Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

Philippians 1:15-17

15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife . . .

16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely . . .

17 But the other of love . . .
