Chapter 6: The Heart of an Apostle

Page 19

Whether it is reluctant or voluntarily, it is God Almighty that sorts out

the qualifications of the individual for each office. He knows what you are capable of even if you don’t realize it. Moses is the classic example of the person who initially said: “Not me, I think you need someone else. Why, I can’t even speak straight.” You know the rest of the story.

God Calls The Apostles, Prophets And Teachers!

The arrogance of the truth squad on Thursday seemed to be also attached to their King James Bible. I can say that because they seemed

totally ignorant of the translated language in other versions.

Is the King James English translation the “inerrant” word of God? The “infallible” word of God, which is another way of saying that it, has no

errors within it? Considerable debate is taking place on this various issue. However, supporting such a doctrine must come from uninformed people. Well, at least from people who do not have the KJV text on their computer for fast and easy searching of truth? It would certainly have to come from

those who do not have parallel translations along with a Hebrew and Greek dictionary.

What we know about the King James Bible is that it was at least the 15th translation of the Bible that occurred. There were many Bibles before it,

including English translations, and many after it. Some of those that support the exclusive use of the King James Bible hold to the belief that it is not only inspired, it is also inerrant. Critics of the King James Bible would point out

that earlier versions of many manuscripts were found later. Convention holds that those earlier translations would be more accurate since less time had passed from the original writings. They would also point out that the language of the King James Bible is out of date and no longer easily

understood by English speaking people.

I have seen verses in the King James Bible that speak so wonderfully to a particular subject. Then, there are those you would need to study very carefully and ponder a long time simply because the language is so stilted.
