Ideas Other Men Put Into Our Heads: KJVO

From the translators to the readers, KJV 1611 this is very long and is a slow read, but it is clear the translators would not have said their rendering was the only one to trust.

God began to give us the Old Testament roughly 3500 years ago, with Moses being given The Ten Commandments in 1400 BC. By 500 BC all of the original Hebrew manuscripts, which comprise the 39 books of the Old Testament, were completed. The New Testament (original Greek manuscripts) were completed in the 1st Century (1 AD to 100), over 1900 years ago. 

It is a beautiful truth that God preserved His Holy Word for us for us just as He said. Knowing this, we all have our Bible translation preferences, and it is my contention that no one who reads the Scriptures would come away thinking one translation would be only true words of God. Genuine Bible translations are inerrant and infallible, and some are better than others as far as word for word translations versus thought for thought translations. But my point is that no where in the Scriptures does it say to "stay tuned for this or that particular translation later to be the only Bible to use". The Word has been saved for us by God and the notion that only one translation is accurate is an idea that a man would have to inject into another man's thinking. Men love to enslave other men, especially if they themselves are enslaved.

What is interesting is that people who know they are leading others to believe in cultish ideas will use logic that is actually true against them, to try and spin it to be true about opposing views. For example, someone could wrongly say that simply reading the Bible a person would never come away thinking that God chooses us (those who will be born again). That statement is easily proven to be false because there are numerous verses that talk about God choosing us. See: 2 Thess 2:13, Eph 1:4, and John 15:16. No one needs to tell a person the Bible says God chooses--one can see it for themselves. How someone decides to process that information can depend on a number of things, but to say there is no way a person could believe that God chooses us unless someone else puts that idea in their head is easily disproven. It is written in black and white for all to see. It is like saying no one could ever believe that Jesus is the Son of God unless someone tells them! The Bible says that Jesus is the Son of God in Acts 8:37, 1 John 4:15, 1 John 5:5. The phrasing and idea that "no one could read and come up with...." inoculates a person from the reality that THEY are the ones trapped by thinking which can only be interjected by another man. Tell someone a false statement using colorful phrasing that sounds true and you immediately make that person harder to reach with the truth, which is that THEY are the ones buying into thinking no one would come up with on their own. Men love to enslave other men.

A Close Look At Psalm 12:6

With that I contend that no one, literally, NO ONE, can read the Bible and on their own say, "Only THIS translation is the word of God!" It simply can't be, because God gave us His Word long before Martin Luther, William Tyndale, King James, or Noah Webster started to print Bibles. 

It seems quite bigoted to say that the Holy God of the universe, Who is Sovereign over all the affairs of this world, would give His word to one race/type of person long after He actually gave His word to mankind. The different translations are all the Word of God, in whatever language they have been translated to. God says all Scripture is inspired by God, there were not inspired men. No inspired translators folks. That verse helped lead me out of Catholicism. God inspired the original Hebrew and Greek of the Scriptures, and He has preserved that Word for His followers faithfully. We can trust Him. 

Accurate Way to Think About Inerrancy 

Interesting to note is that the original 1611 King James Bible contained 80 books, so people who somehow think that translation was given to Holy men who were directly inspired by God should be Roman Catholic, right? 

Men love to enslave other men and take their focus off of what matters for the kingdom of God. 

I'm not passionate about this issue. Honestly, it is a waste of time to wade into these waters for the vast majority of people. God preserved His word and we can trust it. I prefer the translation I prefer, and to spend time debating things that are virtually devoid of value isn't a prudent use of my time. That said however, truth matters.
