Video Review: "King James Only?...The Final Word" Part 5 Finale
- 21:21 - Now the woman begins a diatribe about what God is and is not interested in; and she concludes that God is not interested in doctrine. This comment really shows the stupidity of the entire video. Clearly the woman never read Romans 16:17; how can we mark them and avoid them which cause divisions contrary to doctrine if doctrine doesn't matter? Why would Paul keep Timothy in Ephesus so he could make sure that they teach no other doctrine (1 Tim 1:3) if doctrine doesn't matter? Has she not read 2 John 1:9-10? If doctrine doesn't matter why does the Lord hold it against the church at Pergamos for holding the doctrine of Balaam and the doctrine of the Nicolaitans if doctrine doesn't matter? But never mind the scriptures, doctrine doesn't matter.
- 21:50 - Here she begins a common but clearly naive and ignorant view that the differences (she admits there are differences, probably without realizing it) between the KJB and the modern versions aren't so great that we can't understand the basics. One has to be able to see the humanism and apostate scholarship thinking all over that comment: the basics? What are the basics of Christianity? Who decides what the basics are? By saying the basics is she admitting that the non-basics have been removed?
- 25:10 - This is one of the most unbelievable tactics you can pull; because the Mormons use the KJB (I use the word use very loosely) that KJV Onlyists are to be compared to that cult. Wow. This would be shocking if I hadn't heard this from a Baptist pastor who hinted at this same thing in a blog post. She goes on to say that some girl she knew that used to be a mormon got saved after she disobeyed rules and read another version bible in Galatians 1:1-9 and converted to "true" Christianity. Problem: isn't Galatians 1:1-9 in the KJB? Uh...yeah. So if this girl, if she even exists, had read that passage in the KJB and believed it would not the same result have been possible?
- 30:40 - King James Onlyists are Pharisees. I'm not even going to touch this one.

Verse of the Day - Revelation 22:19

Prayer Request and Interesting Finding
First I would ask for prayers. Recently my mother in law, who is a Roman Catholic, approached my wife, who is a former Roman Catholic, about having a conversation with me about why we only use the King James Bible. The topic came about because she noticed that the KJB was not on the list of approved translations on whatever Catholic website she was viewing. Nevertheless, their conversation progressed past that issue and onto general Baptist doctrine and why we only follow the Bible. So I think the conversation may be much more than a quick exposition of why the KJB. It is also good to know that my mother in-law is not a "no salvation outside the Church", pre-Vatican II Catholic. She described herself as "Catholic by convenience." So I feel that there is a real opportunity to start working on her and start to turn her toward the simplicity that is in Christ and away from the system of Popery since lots of the presuppositions of Catholicism do not exist in her mind. So, please say a quick prayer when you have time and think about it that the Holy Ghost would guide our conversation and especially my words.
Interestingly enough, I was doing some scripture comparison between the KJB and the New Jerusalem Bible, which my mother in-law uses, in preparation for our conversation. And as I searched some Catholic websites I came across a very ironic issue amongst Catholics: Douay-Rheims Onlyism. That's right, no joking: Douay-Rheims Onlyism. I am familiar with the major split amongst the pre and post-Vatican II Catholics, but I had no idea that there was this issue as well; which must be divided amongst those same lines. Isn't that ironic? I guess I will wait for James White's sequel to The King James Only Controversy; The Douay-Rheims Only Controversy! ;)
Verse of the Day - Proverbs 30:6

Just A Little History
We often forget our heritage, both in the United States and as Baptists. But here is a quote from Thomas Jefferson (taken from Story of the Baptists); just notice how close America was to becoming a protestant theocracy, either at the state level or the federal level.
"There was a hope confidentially cherished, about A.D. 1780, that there might be a State church throughout the United States, and this expectation was specially cherished by Episcopalians and Congregationalists. John Adams believed in leaving the matter to the States, each State having its own establishment. This design it was the work of the Baptists to frustrate. They did not want the Constitution of the United States, nor of any State, to be made a religious creed, but they were determined to have religious liberty for themselves and all the world."
Verse of the Day - Colossians 2:15
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

A Sobering Quote
Here is a quote from a friend that should be a dash of cold water across the face of every Christian, not just elders and teachers. Let's make sure the doctrine we are teaching and espousing is biblical truth, not just good morals or denominational legalism.
"There will come the time when Christian preachers and teachers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to find out some of the teaching they held on to was nothing more than an opinion from man or some denomination."

Interesting Quote
Normally we don't do politics on this blog but I came across an interesting quote from Rush Limbaugh via Twitter and it reminded me of a verse. Here are the quote and verse; see what you think.
"Only Democrats care about the little guy -- unless you're unborn in the womb, in which case, you're on your own." -Rush
Amos 1:13Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
Revelation 17 with Visual
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither ; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication , and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written , MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel ? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was , and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder , whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was , and is not, and yet is . 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth . 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen , and one is , and the other is not yet come ; and when he cometh , he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was , and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest , where the whore sitteth , are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree , and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled . 18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
