Re: Why is the Bible the ONLY True Word of God?

The Bible, in fact KJV 1611 IS the only True word of the Lord, now how can you even question that ??

Hello, friend. Why don't you head over to The introduction forum, so we can get to know a little bit more about you, like what Church you attend and etc.?

Quite easily actually.

No where does the Bible state the KJV is the only inspired scripture. How could it possibly be the only true word of God when it indeed was not around until 1600 years after Christs death?

No where does the Bible state it must be written in English.

King James has zero authority to "authorize" a bible.

The KJV rejects the deuterocanon, which was considered inspired Scripture by the Apostles. Thus, the KJV is an incomplete bible at best.

Yes, we know how angry you catlicks are to this day over the original Protestants who spread literacy and learning throughout Europe. You're still angry that your monopoly of the Dark Ages was broken.

Actually, the KJV1611 included all the Apocrypha. Modern KJV Bibles don't include them, because they are secular texts and do nothing to further our understanding of God's will.

No True Christian™ is prevented from reading them for educational purposes.

I find it funny that you mention the deuterocanon, which adds 12 books, when the full Apocrypha is 15 books.

By your logic, your bible is incomplete as well. You guys should hurry up and add the text fragments of the Gospel of Judas Iscariot and the Gospel of Mary Magdelene while you're at it.

One can never have too many books, right?

You didn't answer the accusation. "The Bible itself does not declare the KJV the final authority." Your answer is that your website declares it so and, while that may be reason enough for you to stray from God, I need to see scriptural references.

Now you're just being a troll.

Were my statements really that difficult for you? Tell me how the KJV can be the only acceptable bible when we were told to preach to "all nations", and in Revelation people of "all tongues" were seen.

One problem. That's not my logic. The Apocrypha is not recognized as canonical by the council of trent. Catholics recognize the deuterocanon.

Why?

Because it was in the Greek Septuagint. The septuagint is the orignal greek translation of the jewish bible some 200 years BC. Over 75% of all instances when the NT quotes the OT, they are quoting directly from the Septuagint. This means that the authors of the NT read and studied the Septuagint, which included the Deuterocanon.

[Sacred Heart]

Re: Why is the Bible the ONLY True Word of God?

Sorry I forgot a quick point....

All early Christians rejected the Apocrypha as uninspired scripture. This was all determined at the council of trent which officially decided which books were in the bible.

Here's a question: Why do you trust their word on the other books of the NT but not with the Deuterocanon?

Since when have you pointy heads needed to see Scripture for anything?

I would like to see Scripture for papal infallibility. I would like to see Scripture that says Peter died in Rome, but I've never gotten any.

The reason we believe in the KJV is that it is based off the Greek texts and not the version edited edited by the whore of Babylon a.k.a the Latin Vulgate. It has also not been watered down and liberalised by fluffy bunny christains.

It is the only acceptable English Language Bible. As for what versions are acceptable in other languages, you would have to tell me the source material it was translated from and then have a True Christian™ proficient in that language check it for errors.

In 381 AD the Council of Rome under Pope Damusus officially established the canon of the Bible. This included the Deuterocanon but NOT the gnostic writings of the Apocrypha such as the Gospel of Peter.

It was in the Council of Trent that this canon was reaffirmed. This reaffirmation was only necessary then because of disputes raised at that time. Until about 1500 AD, this canon went undisputed.

They began working on the Latin Vulgate then.

Because you catlix were being called out on your heresies. It was your attempt at putting your fingers in the dyke, so to speak. It was an attempt to hold a "blue ribbon council" that comes back with the decision that the catlix were right all along.

Ok. First of all the Latin Vulgate was also based on these Greek texts.

Second, the Council of Rome established the official canon. The "table of contents" if you will. It was at this council that the texts of the New Testament were officially declared. Without the Catholic Church, you would be at a loss for what books you consider inspired scripture.

You called it Church infallibility before. You still haven't posted Scripture that says he died in Rome or that he wanted it to be the headquarters.

Yeah, and you call whatever texts you disagree with gnostic.

Now it's my turn to copy paste.

"This historical synod at Rome gained additional importance long afterwards. According to a document appended to some manuscripts of the so-called Decretum Gelasianum or "Gelasian Decretal" and given separately in others, at this council the authority of the Old and New Testament canon would have been affirmed in a decretal. The document was first connected to this council of Rome in 1794,"

Re: Why is the Bible the ONLY True Word of God?

Of course you know that Church Infallibility and Papal Infallibility are often interchangeable?

Of course I will admit to you that the Bible does not state that Peter died in Rome (History does, but this was not important to Scripture), nor does it state explicitly that God wanted Rome. However, there is an OT prophesy concerning the Papacy in Isaiah 22:15-25.

But I can walk you through this logically.

Peter was a smart guy. Of course you would know of the Roman persecutions of the time? How could they ever cease until the Roman Emperor was Christian? That is why Peter went to Rome.

Why did God choose Rome? Maybe because of it's central location, it's wealth and other obvious reasons. But furthermore, think of how other Christians may have seen the great conversion of Rome... a little inspiring wouldn't you say? You ever heard that God had a sense of humor? Well, by taking a pagan city and converting it to the Capital of His Church... seems pretty funny to me

Yeah, and you call whatever texts you disagree with gnostic.

Are you defending the Gospel of Thomas et. al.? Do you agree with their teachings?

And hand scribed to fit the catlick way of thinking under the supervision of the whore of babylon.

You cannot outright reject the Latin Vulgate for the mere reason that it doesn't say what you think it "should" say. That is the root of all sects of Protestantism.

And other things that never happened. You don't think we know of your devil lies, papist?

Now it's my turn to copy paste.

Re: Why is the Bible the ONLY True Word of God?

Since you asked

In 1794 F. Arevalo, the editor of Sedulius, started the theory that the first three of these five chapters were really the decrees of a Roman Council held a century earlier than Gelasius, under Damasus, in 382 A.D. Certain MSS seemed to give this earlier document separately, and Arevalo's conclusions have been widely accepted, notably by Maassen and Zahn. Readers of this JOURNAL will remember that in vol. i pp. 554-560, Mr C. H. Turner edited from four MSS of the eighth and ninth centuries the text of these first three chapters with the title of 'The Roman Council under Damasus'. On this theory the 'Damasine' List is the earliest Conciliar Western List of the Canonical Books, a List, in fact, two years earlier than the publication of the first instalment of the Latin Vulgate. It had been Professor v. Dobschütz's intention to publish the Damasine and Gelasian forms side by side (i. e. I, II, III and III, IV, V, c. III being common to both), but in the course of his investigation he came to very different conclusions. According to v. Dobschütz all five chapters belong to the same original work, which is no genuine decree or letter either of Damasus or Gelasius, but a pseudonymous literary production of the first half of the sixth century (between 519 and 553).


There can, I think, be little doubt that v. Dobschütz has made out his case. The really decisive point is that in I 3, in the part most directly associated with Damasus, there is a quotation of some length from Augustine in Joh. ix 7 (Migne, xxxv 146l). As Augustine was writing about 416, it is evident that the Title Incipit Concilium Vrbis Romae sub Damaso Papa de Explanatione Fidei is of no historical value.


The proof that the document is not a real Decretal of Gelasius or any other Pope is almost as decisive, if not quite so startling. In the first place v. Dobschütz makes it clear (p. 213) that the shorter form I-III implies the longer form, and therefore is derived from it. Further, the short form III-V, which was supposed to contain the genuine decree of Gelasius, turns out to be a recension of the whole work, in which the phrases which refer back to I and II have been carefully suppressed or altered (p. 214). This recension appears to |471 have been made in Gaul in the seventh century (p. 399) : that known as Hormisdas, containing II-V, is a Spanish recension, but the Spaniard Isidor used chap. I, in fact he is the earliest witness to the work. Had it been an official decree of Gelasius it would have been known and used by Dionysius Exiguus and Cassiodorus.

You'll have to forgive me if I am missing your point here. But is what you're saying that the Council of Rome was not what declared the official canon of Scripture but rather this occurred 100 years later.

So... why does this matter?

Weren't you trying to prove somehow that the Catholic Church did not decided what was canonical? Somehow wasn't this supposed to disprove the Deuterocanon?

It matters because your "church" continues to spread lies about events that never took place to this very day.

Weren't you trying to prove somehow that the Catholic Church did not decided what was canonical? Somehow wasn't this supposed to disprove the Deuterocanon?

The point was to prove that the roman church had nothing to do with deciding on any canon. The earliest version of any modern canon comes from Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, in 367.

There is no mention of canon from the romans until 904 under Damasus.

Then, there is the fable of Ignatius that is still used as "proof" of rome's early leadership of the Church.

[Levi Jones]

Re: Why is the Bible the ONLY True Word of God?

Somehow wasn't this supposed to disprove the Deuterocanon?

Jerome (a well known prodigious womanizer) wanted to get rid of the Deuterocanon as he saw the books in the same light the Hebrews did. Nice works, but not Scripture.

The pope at the time, Damasus, was a murderer of his rival to get the job. He also put aside his wife and children to become a shining example of clerical purity.

So lecherous was Damasus, he was given the nickname matronarum auriscalpius or the matrons' ear-tickler. So corrupt was he that the Emporer decreed that Damasus' clergy was no longer allowed to accept gifts from widows they were bilking out of their life savings.

He's the one who came up with the idea of papal succession. He's also the one who insisted that they be left in the vulgate.
