And I’ve also seen bible interpretation snobbery too.
I didn’t think I would see that from a mainstream NASB guy (and NASB is about as reasonable as you can get for modern English, which isn’t Shakespearean English but only related to it) but I did.
One telling point was the exclusion of both/and readings of bible passages that technically might have multiple meanings. In favor of either/or. Snobbery does that. A spirit driven reading can highlight the both/and as applicable and the quibbles are avoided.
I have a number of friends some folks in my church that are not KJV-only. We’ve managed to more than coexist up to this point. This is more a testimony of the grace of God than anything. I cannot compromise on the Bible issue, but God has seen fit to help us grow together as a church family regardless. From my perspective, I hope to teach through the Doctrine of the Bible next year in the Bible Institute we started this year.
As Peter said to another called out assembly:
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8
