Steven:
"inspiration"
Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the
Almighty giveth them understanding.
inspiration 5397. neshamah, nesh-aw-maw'; fr. H5395; a puff, i.e. wind,
angry or vital breath, divine inspiration, intellect. or (concr.) an
animal:--blast, (that) breath (-eth), inspiration, soul, spirit.
2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
inspiration 2315. theopneustos, theh-op'-nyoo-stos; from G2316 and a
presumed der. of G4154; divinely breathed in:--given by inspiration of
God.
divinely breathed in:=3D inspired
Next we must figure out what is scripture:
scripture 1124. graphe, graf-ay'; from G1125; a document, i.e. holy Writ
(or its contents or a statement in it):--scripture.
I will not change the writings delivered to me. 1 Pet 2:6 Wherefore
also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief
corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be
confounded.
I am not confounded, this comes from a lack of "believing," Mat 22:29=20
Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God.
You must think the KJV is not from God, if it is from God, it is
perfect, His word is perfect.
Deu 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are
judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
"His work is perfect"
2 Sam 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is
tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
"His way is perfect"
Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
"law of the LORD is perfect"
Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it
is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest
overcome when thou art judged.
Your servant for Jesus sake,=20

Bro. Steven:
Please read all these scriptures very closely including you're
Hebrew and Greek word meanings. They do in no way prove the
KJV to be "inspired". And remember, though I believe(as I have stated
multiple times) that the KJV is our best English resource, there is
nothing wrong with the use other versions. If you truly have the Holy =
Ghost,
then the Word dwells in you and you will be made to know if any
translation of a single scripture sounds erroneous from another version
or text. Remember the Word is alive and dwells in those who have=20
received His Spirit. I've read passages from other versions that I could
tell were deceiving and others that said nothing different than the KJV
despite using different wording. I personally prefer and admonish others
to use the KJV(as I have stated more than once.), especially new =
converts
but the arguement you give for it is bordering on idolatry brother. =
Remember,the word is spiritually discerned not versionally(my own word =
invention). The scriptures you've listed do not even imply let alone
explicitly speak of the KJV specifically. Remember, it's written on our
hearts(what about that translation, :-] ). I have no problem with you =
wanting
to use the KJV only but the way you portray your stance is like that of =
one
saying that If another uses any other version they will be led astray, =
and
we know what connotation that carries with it. Remember also that the
KJV wasn't even the first full, finished, English version and was based =
upon
mostly the Bishop's version(1858) along with the Greek and Hebrew. And
the Bishop's wasn't nearly even the first English version published in =
print.
I don't believe God's word to have the slightest error. That's why I =
know
that the KJV is just a translation and not "inspired" as the original
"Holy Writ: of the prophets and apostles-It contains at least one
TRANSLATION error-human error, not God. An error in the Hebrew
cardinal numbering system which is easy for imperfect man to make=20
errors in translation.(God probably allowed such a mistake to make man's
imperfection manifest, so that we would no the difference between=20
inspiration and translation.) -
2KINGS 24:8-Jehoiachin was EIGHTEEN years old when he began to=20
reign,and he reigned in Jerusalem 3 months......
2CHRONICLES 36:9-Jehoiachin was EIGHT years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned 3 months and 10 days in Jerusalem...
=20
With such an error that God cannot make we must come to the=20
conclusion by our faith that there is no error in the original "Holy =
Writ", but
that imperfect men made an error in TRANSLATION, which rules out
divine inspiration of the KJV. The words were already there, they were =
just
TRANSLATED. I have no reason to continue further on this. If you still
disagree, I will read your response but it would be vanity to continue =
this
"debate" as it is becoming in my eyes, if you still disagree. Especially =
since the inspiration or non-inspiration of the KJV has no bearing on
our salvation.=20
God bless you; Love in Christ for you,
Bro. Westbrook
P.S.-sorry so long everybody, just wanted to end it from my end and felt
a need to post Bro. Steven's entire message of scripture for my =
response.
God Bless.
