Which edition of the Holy Bible is God's preserved Word in English?

Oh, case solved then!

Well Mormonism isn't Christianity, so I don't see your point

Pic related Catholic-approved books.

Why should I trust the authority of a council of men, whether they call themselves catholic or mormon, above God?

God established the Catholic Church when He appointed Peter as the Pope. Since He knew everything Peter and all his successors would do, all the actions and councils of the Catholic church are approved by God.

The KJV as written by Jesus 6000 years ago on his dinosaur.

What, then, do we make of the appointment of James as Bishop of Jerusalem, arguably a much more spiritually significant position than Rome whose importance to Christian history was only established much later?

That's great but can you actually provide a valid answer instead of being a meming fuck?

>Since He knew everything
Yeah, that worked out well with the Garden Eden and all.

>He appointed Peter as the Pope.

1611

I use this one.

How do you explain the forward to the readers implies that if the 1611 translators had new historical finds at their disposal, they'd engage in textual criticism just like the moderns?

There's a good video online about the history of the bible, does a far better job of deconstructing bible history than I ever will, or reasons why 1611 kjv is a good translation.

>Which manuscript is the inspired one?

The fact that our oldest biblical manuscript is from 125 AD and only contains a couple of words makes the question a work for literal sciences.

The biblical text we have now is a compilation of those manuscripts and is the Basis for the believers of modern times, thus it's the inspired one.

The KJV is the infallible Word of God.

So far this appears to be a polemic against Catholicism instead of a discourse on the history of Biblical text transmissions.

If god wants to speak to you, don't you think he'll do it without using some long-dead cultist as an intermediary? Don't you think the worship of the bible is pretty close to a commandment infringement?

>he'll do it without using some long-dead cultist as an intermediary?
You mean like Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John?
Yeah, fuck it, who needs 'em?

go back to '''''''venerating''''''' mary

I'm emphatically not a Catholic.

But I started watching on the endorsement that it's about textual history of Biblical manuscripts, but what I got was an earful of the Whore of Babylon.

So far I haven't even heard a mention of the main text type traditions, who wrote them, the relationship between old and new manuscripts, how the papyri fit into later text compilations, or anything resembling what I asked for or the endorsement on the vid.

God is interestingly humanlike. I wonder why.

the incarnation?

God seems very concerned and/or tied with humanity. I wonder why.

Because we're His creation in His image?

Because He created man in His own image?

God made one species out of millions on Earth in his image and it jus so happened to be us. I wonder why.

Again which compilation?

This is the designated bi-daily christian schism thread, where the only acceptable posts are the ones mocking the other side, until that one bloke shows up with all those images of annotated bible Pdfs, and everyone leaves.

But nobody here has explained why, in terms of text criticism and historical matters, the KJV is the best, or why newly discovered papyri and other manuscripts have no bearing on God's Word, and why our understanding of Biblical text construction should stop be frozen in 1611.

If god made man in his image how come there's like millions of variations of man

Because God, in God's ultimate wisdom, chose to reveal His Word in it's completeness to mankind at a certain point in time.

There is one and only one legitimate Bible. The KJV.

God would not throw people into confusion with contradictory translations. Confusion is the work of the devil, not God.

the time was right for the unadulterated Word to be available to those predestined of God to share in life everlasting (the ones Jesus died to save, not merely redeem).

Your idolatry of the KJV does not change the fact that in the forward to the reader, the translators working on the KJV assert neither inspiration, nor completeness, but do argue in favor of continued textual criticism.

Veeky Forums is a christian board

I have become increasingly convinced that no doctrine, scripture, or holy text of any religion is an adequate or truthful prescription on how to live life in harmony with the divine. Personal revelation and observation is the most rewarding form of connecting with God and finding spiritual fulfillment, and it offers faith through a purer medium than the fractured lens that is human-composed scripture.

The Holy Spirit is a whore that basically approves everything that happens just because it happens.

It's a meaningless and lazy interpretation of God's cosmos and causality.

if you add up all the christian factions in our polls they're at most equal to the number of atheists, if not slightly less.

time to get saved user

Nah, you don't get it.

according to catholics, protties aren't christian, and according to protestants, cathys aren't christian, so really, atheism is twice as big as christianity on Veeky Forums.

Why do Catholics worship a false god called "the pope" and his wife the godess "mary"

>post-Constantinian
That's a meme. You give Rome far too much credit to say it already existed that far back. Here, watch this documentary: youtube.com/watch?v=5bVEXZ38Vs8
