There is not doubt we have God who is Father and a Son who owes his existence the Father and the HS, which is God's Power. I also know the OT believers could know God and be in a saving relationship with him monotheistic understanding.
I dont even know what that is, what is a relationship of 1, 2, 3, 4? Its ridiculous sounding whether it comes from the 1's or the 3's
Whatever makes you happy, will we be nitpicking translations the whole way through this?
We all have our "thangs", I'm not an onlyist so I am not going to freak out on you over it. It can just be hard to tip toe around everyones things (Grammar police love me too). But in this case, that would mean when I converse with you (and remember that I am) that I should either accept the fact you will go after the words in my translation (like Ghost) for Spirit in every post, or we can acknowledge that the Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit (and that neither of us is fooled by this) OR I gotta CLEAN all my scripture passages to your preferred translation before posting them to you which becomes laborsome. Only to get nailed by the KJV onlyists and then the ignore button gets fired up. Theres enough back and forth over pettier things, they just all add up.
I was a hardcore KJV onlyist in my younger fundamentalist's years. It took great trauma for me to leave it for the NET and other translations.
It was just the book I learned to read on, and it stuck, and it works for me. I am attached to it mostly by way of familarity, by way of comparison and the words used between the comparisons that I can find what I am looking or speedily. But I know how to look up words and I have and I do because when I need something magnified to me a little more I look more closely for my own questions. Most of the time they are rarely the problem some can make them out to be. Especially in a book where you compare between many pictures and sayings, I find words dont really stumble you. You can often get past the word police too. I used to have several example of this because it was getting on my nerves years ago, but none are coming to mind.
The KJV contains some of the most profound biblical echoes that other translations lack. However, my concern is its relevance for teaching young people today. It can be a challenging read if you're not familiar with the Queen's English.
I would agree with you on the basis of the above typically, because people cannot read or write well. I am one of them. When I started with the KJV I had gotten out of the millitary because I was good for nothing else really. I had a 5th grade reading average, and barely graduated HS back in my day, and public education is worst today than it was in my day. You might have a point there. All I know is that the desire God put in me to know Him and the scriptures made getting a book into me easier. I wanted nothing to do with books. I had to look up what "THOU" meant and "THEE". I was that dumb. And I needed to know what fornication was before the time I actually learned what it was (If you get my drift). So I say, I actually learned to read using KJV and at a time we did not have computers, I sat with my bible on a table and the dictionary on my lap and, just would end up flipping "back and forth" at some point until I found the internet years later. Learning to communicate with others did not go so well. I typed in all caps, didnt know how to do paragraphs or where to put periods etc. I was a mess, I still carry some bad habits, especially using apostrophys or YOUR'S verses YOU'RE, I before e's all that stuff. For me those are so small considering how bad I was, so when someone complains they have no idea.
I dont know what that is, but I also dont know what all the other big name churches believe either. I dont even know about all these ISMS that are out there are raged over. So I am probably in the wrong thread when it comes to discussing these sorts of things. I try to stay away from church brand topics and who has what in their happy meal.
Lord said to my Lord is only found in the translations altered by satans will= no religion that has Jesus uses those translations when God fixed it= New world translation. The altered translations-MISLEAD.
OT beleivers knew not the truine god but were saved by a single All Powerful God. It simply proves the importance of the Trinity is removed once one understands how God saves through His Son.
