80million Christians in China
More Presbyterians in South Korea than in USA!

As for China etc.
The debate has centred upon the KJV and modern english versions. NOT non english speaking countries - but western, who are using the english language versions. Thus the point is not relevant. What I have posted is well researched over years and accurate.

Proverbs 26:24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him

They should demand that Vulgate be used because it was used for 1,000 years!

Notice also Jim that the current decline in church size and doctrine is during the time when the KJV has been assailed by all these poor contemporary translations Like NIV and NASB.

These modern versions are holding sway at a time when the church is disappearing from relevance and view in the nations. Not to mention the satanic leaven of Liberalism which is destroying both church and state by its attack upon all authority.

A. Yes God has indeed used the KJV, but he has also used other versions to His glory.

A2. In the past 50yrs the Christian faith has progressed at a faster rate than ever before, not via the KJV.

B. The King James version does not come from a superior text (texts)it is a translation from comparatively very few later manuscripts.

c. It still amazes me that people think, or act like Wescott and Hort actually wrote the GK texts B and א Surely this nonsense about W&H needs to be shelved

D. Well that's not much of an argument!

A2. Which planet are you referring to? EG The UK churches have declined both in size AND doctrine in the last five decades.

B. That is a complete lie!

C. Westcott and Hort - Two Anglican Liberal heretics with Popish leanings and convictions and spiritualism and doubts as to Bible precepts etc. No "Christian" would ever allow these servants of Satan anywhere near their Bible doctrines. Whilst they would NEVER allow them input to God's Holy Word.

D. 2Peter 1:10.

Citing the fact that the evangelical church (of which I am a part) is a laughing stock is not name calling. It is definately not calling someone an offensive name, like Arminian!

RE:: KJV; The reason I defend this version of God's Holy Writ and not the modern version is because (A) God used it for 400 years, (B) KJV comes from a superior Greek text. (C) That Text did not use the input of Two heretics and their textual criticism. (D) Nor would I use the Nestle-Aland.

As for "Psalms Only" - THIS IS the Word of God. Please feel free to use the alternative word of sinners INSTEAD if you will.

Thus not superstition and not hobby horse.

Glad to see a devout Arminian as yourself sticks up for the other side - Helps put my point across.
But it really is time you left your old papist theology more completely behind.

Announcement!
The next Big Bang will be arriving at platform three.

Curious that people can think that from nothing - then a "big bang" - can come something as complex as eg their neurological system?

Sometimes I wonder why it is not considered aa a bad thing when some churches are NIV-only, or ESV-only, or NASB-only?? Is it not a tragic thing to witness the utter confusion that has arisen because some churches have 4 or 5 versions among attendees and yet another version employed in the pulpit??
