QUESTlON: What if there really ARE mistakes in the King James Bible?

ANSWER: Then it's up to YOU to find the Book that God was talking 
about in Psalm 12:6,7 and Jesus was talking about in Matthew 24:35.

EXPLANATION: I learned a great lesson in the late 1960s. I watched on 
television as riotous hippies burned down the Bank of America offices. 
Other rioters razed entire neighborhoods to the chant of "Burn, Baby, 
Burn." The hippies' claim was that they had to burn this country to 
the ground in order to build a new one. And THAT is what I learned: 
ANY hippie can burn down a building, but I've NEVER seen even one 
building that a hippie built.

The cruel truth is that when you become a rebel against authority, 
such as the hippies were, you become an EXPERT in the art of 
destruction (II Peter 2:9-15). A life committed to destroying is 
difficult to reverse. Thus, hippies know how to destroy buildings 
which were built by others. But the cannot build anything in a 
productive manner that improves on what they destroyed.

This rebellious hatred for AUTHORITY is also manifested in the rabid 
attacks on the Holy Bible by self-proclaimed scholars. They can wax 
eloquent in their destructive criticism of God's perfect Book., then, 
after reducing it to ashes in the hearts and minds of students and 
church members, are unable to replace it with anything that even 
compares with the divine writings they have so viciously attacked.

If you have been convinced by some spiritual hippie that the King 
James Bible has mistakes in it, then I suggest you ask them to REPLACE 
it with a Bible that is perfect.

They may point to the New International Version, or New American 
Standard Version, or New King James Version as a "better translation." 
But none will DARE to claim that any of these are the Bible referred 
to in Psalm 12:6,7 or Matthew 24:35.

If you press the issue they will most likely run you through the 
brambles and briers of the claim that God's Word is found only in "the 
Greek." But the fact is that their very limited knowledge of the 
original languages leaves them unable to read, study or preach from 
either Hebrew or Greek. Even if they COULD translate either the Textus 
Receptus or the local Egyptian text of Alexandria literally, they 
would be forced to admit that there are readings in both that they 
cannot accept as infallible.

The FACT is, that, like their hippie counterparts of the late 1960's 
they find themselves standing on a pile of smoldering ruins, without 
any ability whatsoever to rebuild even an outhouse, let alone render a 
perfect Bible.

No, if you have been convinced by someone that the King James Bible 
has errors IN SPITE of the facts, then you have accepted that thesis 
for only one reason: your love for and loyalty to the Bible's 
antagonist. The critic is your father, brother, pastor, youth 
director, college professor, or just someone you love too much to 
confront or withstand on the Bible issue.

So, if you have been convinced by someone that the Authorized Version 
has mistakes in it, you should toss your King James Bible into the 
wastebasket on top of your NIV, NASV, NKJV and both of the Greek 
texts. Then go to that person, fall on your knees, kiss their ring and 
say, ''Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"

But remember one thing: Your god is a REBELLIOUS HIPPIE!
