***If someone said a New Version was perfect...***

Who would be so foolish to make such an irrational claim, except Joseph Smith?

***The problem the anti-King James crowd have is that they can't find an error in the King James that will stick.***

... stick in YOUR MIND, ftD.

Here is a good, godly Calvinist explaining 1Tim.6:10

John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil… Of all the evils before mentioned, and of others; not money itself, as silver and gold, which are God's creatures, and his gifts, and may be used to, and answer many good purposes; but the love of it, and not any love of it; for there may be a lawful love of it, and desire after it, so far as it is requisite to the necessaries of life, to answer the calls of Providence, the duties we owe to God and men, to serve the interest of Christ, and do good to fellow creatures and fellow Christians: but it is an immoderate insatiable desire after it, and an inordinate love of it, which is here meant, such as is properly idolatry: as when a man loves it, not only besides, but above God; serves it as if it was God, and places his trust and confidence in it, independent of God, and his providence; such love of it is the source and spring of all iniquity, as above; it was the sin of Judas, and the root of all his iniquity. The phrase is Jewish. So idolatry is said to be (twnwe lk rqye) , "the root of all iniquities" F17; see (Hebrews 12:15)

Note the passage does not say the love of money was the root of all evil, it is speaking in the present tense, about todays world system.

It does not state that the love of money was the cause of all sin (Ezek 28:12-15)

***If someone said a New Version was perfect...*** Who would be so foolish to make such an irrational claim, except Joseph Smith?

Gee, you think a Christian would at least think his Bible was without any errors.

***The problem the anti-King James crowd have is that they can't find an error in the King James that will stick.*** ... stick in YOUR MIND, ftD.

Well, I haven't seen any and you would think that since you are dealing with a book that is almost 400 years old you could come up without something better then 1Tim.6:10!
