Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.

What's The Big Deal About The KJV? (part 3)

One of the problems people hear about the King James Version is that God only inspired the originals. This means that God used men to write His original words, but then they lost their inspiration thru translation. Certain, mostly well educated, people believe that somehow because of sinful man's inability to correctly translate that God's Words lost their inspiration- they weren't preserved.
When God dealt with the Jews in the Old Testament, He led Moses to write His Words in Hebrew for the Hebrew speaking people. Daniel, however, was under Babylonian captivity. His part of the Bible was originally written in the main language of his days, Aramaic. And the New Testament was written in the universal language of the ruling nation so that all who wanted to know God's Words could read them, Greek. God wants people to be able to read His Words, so why wouldn't He give inspired words in the main language to people now-a-days?
I guess the belief comes from the fact that most people don't believe that God can or will do what he says. The same God that rained the plagues on Egypt is still ruling today. He wanted men to have His Words back in the time of Moses and Paul, why would He change His mind about wanting us to have His Words today?
In this next clip, Dr. Sam Gipp covers this argument in a simple to understand way.
