The Dangers of KJV-Onlyism | Dr. Mark Ward

Always enjoy hearing from Dr. Ward. Thank you for having him on your platform.

There's a guy here on YT that swears up and down you're only saved if you read the KJV. As if the saving power of Christ was tied to a specific English version of a book. 🙄

I don't trust anybody who thinks a search for truth is dangerous.

My main concern is, no matter what translation is used, how well do we apply the principles the Bible teaches? How Christlike are we growing towards? Do we display the fruit of the Spirit according to Paul's letter to the Galatians? I have seen too many people, even though they mean well, turn into legalists. It's one thing to read the scriptures, yet another when we don't show love for others like Jesus. He is kind and compassionate.

I tell those that pushes kjv only. They aren't reading the kjv it's the 7th update to try to make it more current n easier to read.

If you want to have a preference that is fine... But I have had people tell me I'm not "saved" because I don't worship the KJV .

I love the KJV, but I am not KJV only. I use it as my primary. I am just as upset with KJV haters, as I am against KJV only. (FYI - I don’t think these guys are KJV haters)

Not only do I highly recommend Mark Ward's channel, but I also recommend Dr. James White's book, The King James Only Controversy. It's a much needed resource in the church today and if more KJV-Only people would just read it, I believe less people would be KJV-Only.

The only disagreement i have is over the paraphrases that i dont think have any value l. Im not upset at anyone who uses new living translation but wont go to a church that promotes it. Mostly what mark ward does is great though!

My first Bible, a Pocket NT (NLT), was given to me by someone who witnessed to me. My second bible was given to me by a friend who was turning away from Jesus, but thought that I could use it. I still have it and loved the poetic feel of it, BUT, I discovered the difference between it and the NASB, and others which had used more reliable manuscripts. I mean KJ Only people now use "science" and what appears to be a form of " numerology " to "prove" their case. Btw, Flat Earthers are all KJO proponents as well.

I'm looking for a modern Bible. 1. It should begin with the Geneva Bible. (Hopefully, upsetting kjv onlyists. ) 2. It should contain all the original Geneva Bible margin comments in modern English. 3. It should carefully fix the old Testament using the Old Testament Septuagint + Dead Sea Scrolls, not the Masoretic Text. 4. It should carefully fix the new Testament using the Majority Text(Byzantine). Editors should have a similar philosophy as the LSB/WEB Bible. 5. Decent leather. I don't want a paperback or hardcover. 6. Center column reference 7. Passage headings. 8. No tabs on the side to help find books of the Bible. I know where they are. I think some of the Geneva Bible comments would upset some people.

I disagree I think the NKJV, compliments the KJV much better than the ESV!

How do you get Greek and Hebrew if you use anything else? Most disagreements, apostasy, bad doctrine, confusion is because of all the other translations and more or added all the time. How is that a good thing?

One of you has your headphones on backward.

1. Good interview, thanks, and a refreshing change for Dr. Ward. He's usually agonizing over the latest KJV Only audaciousness, so you gave him a well-deserved breather. 2. Mark 4:28 (KJV): "For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." 3. So if the King James Bible is good enough for corn huskers, then that's good enough for me.

People are bolder online to say things they will not to one's face. The ability to have one's jaws slapped tends to change how one enter reacts with others.

Mark Ward, unless we clearly define our terms and stick to those definitions without wavering in discussions and argumentation and in order to be clear, logical and understood and so that we don't create any ambiguity or fall into equivocation, will you, for everyone's sake, please clearly define the terms, "the Bible" and "God's word". Thank you.

I so appreciate the labors of the King James Bible Research Council on the subject of the KJV and modern versions!

Please read Codeword Barbelon

Textus Receptus, Gevena Bible 1560-99, King James bible, NKJV and MEV. NIV-Esv NLT etc. These critical Text have 8,000 differents and are short text. I wish people would compare these new testament differents, all these missing words and verses, Alow the Holy Spirit to show you which text or Bible version is errect. And look into the history of Westcott n Hort to corrupt bible scholars, who were into contacting dead Spirit, which is not christian.
