correct me if I am wrong, but I think they are saying that a Christian should use more than just the Bible to establish and form their beliefs---I agree totally.
God wants a relationship with us and through that relationship he brings us in to what He wants us to be and one of the ways He does this is by the reading of HIs word.
II Timothy 3:16 KJV holds the same meaning for me as it did before.
-----------
this is a little off of subject but bear with me---
I had a history prof. with whom I used to argue political poles.
He said that if I took a statistics course that I would see, without fail, that poles are accurate and without blemmish nearly all of the time.
Well, I learned the opposite.
Poles are made of numbers and numbers can be minipulated any way desired.
Folks that do these studies and go way back and try to discount the KJV--I question their motivation. I wonder what their ultimate goal is.
I know what my ultimate goal is.

you didn't even read it did you?
and what's all this talk about polish people? heehee
ok seriously, you really haven't read it because you've missed the point hon. take a gander again... if you dare

blabbity blah all this religious rhetoric... hon, you didn't read it. you're just saying what you heard pastor ricky say at church.
sorry i'm being cheeky, it's my way
to paraphrase the document... essentially all methods of interpretation of that timothy passage are totally questionable due to the factors he mentions. it's all logically worked out and so incredibly coherent i'm impressed with the author. fascinating stuff.
i don't quite follow your poll metaphor... i think in the document the author refers to history and digs up some really relevant points about the origins/interepretations of the bible... which raise really valid points against taking the bible literally.
Good gravy, Huntmaster. The whole point of both my and Smalls posts is that the KJV is a *very* corrupted version of the original bible. If you want to hear something closer to what Jesus actually said, so that you can make a more informed judgement as to what God expects of you, don't you think that you should read the closest version you can to what he actually said? The people who made the KJV didn't even have access to the bible in its original languages -- do you realize that?
Did you ever play the game telephone where one person whispers into another person's ear and so on around the room until the person at the end of the circuit gets a message totally diferent from the first person?
That's the KJV.
Wyst
