To: John Leland 1789
John Leland 1789: "Precisely why the NIV should be thrown out."

Only the old King James translates Paul's word as "science", which then barely existed as we know it today, and could not possibly have been an issue in the early Church.

All others translate the word as "knowledge" and Clarke's commentary makes clear the type of knowledge referred to.
It resembled the great debate in the early Church over falsely inspired "knowledge" of Gnostics, which did not remotely resemble today's science.

Clarke's Commentary

1 Timothy 6:20

Bottom line: your claims that the old King James is the only accurate translation, that all more modern works are "perversions", and that only your interpretations of the Bible are valid -- these claims are not supported by any evidence I've seen.

More to the point of this thread, they have nothing whatever to do with scientific facts and theories relating to Evolution.

Because only the KJB in English is from the correct (Antiochan) line of manuscripts. All other English “bibles” since 1881 come from corrupted Alexandrian manuscripts. In the case of the word “science” only the KJB is correct. Precisely because the HS knew the end-time generations would have an inordinate love for science over God’s word. And the devil knew it, too, because he incites it, and especially since Darwin has gotten heavily invested in English translated committees.
