Would you burn your Bible?

[seraph]

I am a bit confused...

Would you burn a Bible? Would you tear out pages from a Bible? Why or why not?

Peter AV. This is for you. Please answer.

After learning about the garbage in the new versions,my wife and I pulled an Acts 19:19 and we burned all our fake Bibles,such as the niv,NASB,EB,etc.,including our NKJV wedding Bible.Fifty pages at a time were placed in the fire,as we repented of allowing garbage to be in our lives.We wanted the truth not man's opinions,so the choice was quik and easy.It was a happy day when the LORD shewed us the truth.

I would that all fake Bibles would be burned, in church after church,but people have their free choice to do with their lives as they see fit.Plus I am not being dogmatic about it,but simply recomending that you only trust one book,namely,the Holy Bible,now renamed the AV or KJB.

With the KJB one has the 99% majority of manuscripts to back it up,while the new versions are choosing the family tree that has only 45 and namely 2,the Vaticanus and the Sinaiticus.These two manuscripts are of the worst kind,they abound in errors,so much so,that one is hard pressed to find any two verses in a row that are the same.But if you go to the manuscripts that the AV was made from ;those 99% of manuscripts,well they virtually agree throughout,and throughout time.

Can't say that for ther modern versions manuscripts nor the modern versions themselves.

...you would burn all but which KJV?

I guess I don't get how people with the pov of "KJV-Only" get to that conclusion. Even the translators of the 1611 KJV didn't even have that POV... they believed the KJV to be the Word of God as were other translations (English or not) in a language that could be understood by the people.

Maybe I've spent the last 2 1/2 years on this board just trying to convince others that I'm a really great guy (?).

I'm convinced!

I believe poor Wycliffe and Tyndale would break down and cry if they saaw us fighting over their Translations, when all they wanted to do was bring the Gospel to us in their time.....

I wouldn't burn my Bible anymore than I'd burn a book from the Dungeons and Dragons game, but I've heard of people burning either.

Again, I know I need a new Bible, but I think I would just throw the old one away if I had to rid myself of it. The life applications in it are still good, so it would be good for someone to start studying scripture with.

To answer a point that doulon made earlier,

1) As long as perfect, accurate copies of the originals were made it would not be necessary to have the autographs. I believe it is by the providence of God that the autographs have either 1) perished with time or 2) have remained hidden from man. Have you never read the story of the children of Israel and the fiery serpent (or serpent of brass)? Moses was instructed by God to make this serpent for the good and health of the people. God used this serpent but if you look in 2 Kings 18 you will find the people worshipping this serpent. I am convinced that if the

I don't play that game.

I still like AD&D, but I don't play. I simply don't have the inclination of digging out 15 books and dragging them over to someone's house to play. Last time I had a very bad experience and it put me off it since then.

I play some online games, and some things like X-Men II, etc. But you don't find girls who are into games as much, so when I am dating I simply don't play. Everyone knows when I am dating too... They don't see me for months on the forums or in the games because when I am not working, I am tending to my girl.

I like some games, but my favorite is UNO because I love to play that Draw Four and fill you up with cards, then go out. Weeeee!

[yomotalking]

I have used it sometimes.

Maybe it is not to hard.

But, hey, if another Translation leads me closer to Christ, I'd rather have that, then a KJV, which i can't understand, and it leads me no where.

Hi ovedya! Thanks for replying to my comments. I hope to address a few of the new points you raised and answer any questions you asked of me. If I miss anything just let me know.

It is my understanding that in order to make a point one has to use words. If God used words to make His point then it would seem natural that those same words would need to be duplicated in order to make the same point. If other
