Question Posed on Facebook Regarding the KJV

On Facebook I am a fan of the page I Am A Independent Fundamental Baptist (soon to be moved to I Am An Independent Fundamental King James Bible Believing Baptist).  He posted the following:

"QUESTION THAT BOTHERS ME MUCH- Why is there so much fighting over the KJV Bible? It is either inspired or just another "best they could do". Men that use, quote, or refer to versions otherwise are not brothers we can still support. I want to make myself VERY clear. I believe and will die standing on the fact that God w...as able to give us a perfect copy of His Word!!! What do you think?"

There are three things that I make no sense to me regarding the issue of Bible translations.  First, if there are differences in the versions, only one can be right.  How do you know which one is right?  If you say that the KJV is wrong on verse x, how do you know that?  How do you know that your version is correct?  Which leads me to the second thing that makes no sense to me.  If you say that there are errors in the translations, how can you be sure that any of the Bible is correct, including the plan of salvation?


But mostly what makes no sense to me is this.  If God is able to keep the universe going.  If He is all powerful, why then is it impossible for Him to preserve His word?  He used mortal men to write it, and they wrote it perfectly, why can't He use men to properly translate and preserve it?

I'm back - sorta

I decided that I wanted a place to post the occasional theological type musings, or other musings for that matter.

My Life Through Food will still be my main blog, but I'll be posting here occasionally.

Conflict Resolution

It is interesting sitting in a class about conflict and conflict resolution and hearing them come up with all sorts of explanations for it. The professor even blamed the Japanese. When in reality the problem is that people have removed God from their lives. We removed God from the schools and when those kids joined the workforce we started to see a rise in workplace conflict.

If people stopped looking towards themselves and instead looked to God there would be a lot less conflict. And people would be a lot more content.

The professor kept talking about how we deal with conflict is what we learned by modeling our parents and siblings when we were between the ages of 3 and 9. He fails to take into account the learning we receive at the hand of our heavenly Father or the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He also tends to blame every difficulty we have with conflict on events from our childhood that are buried in our subconscious. When in reality, for a lot of people, the problem is unconfessed sin and a lack of salvation.

It makes me so sad to see someone so steeped in the humanism and secularism of this world. He doesn’t know the joy of living in Christ.

I will say that it was quite interesting and a bit entertaining to listen to someone spout off such a humanistic world view.
