I still think of you as much too smart to believe that the KJV is flawless.

I doubt the KJV translators thought it was flawless.

I have a personal hunch that God insured that the original documents of Scripture were lost just so we couldn't reasonably think that we had a perfect object, a perfect book in our hands.

He WANTS US, INSISTS,

that we go to HIM, learn to hear HIS VOICE to get our more specific daily directions.

Carrying around a flawless book would make it even more of an idol than the KJV has become anyway.

I do. (the text is)

I doubt the KJV translators thought it was flawless.

What they thought is irrelevant.

I have a personal hunch that God insured that the original documents of Scripture were lost just so we couldn't reasonably think that we had a perfect object, a perfect book in our hands.

What God wants is us to believe what He said.

If you don't have a perfect Bible, then you get to decide on what is correct or incorrect.

He WANTS US, INSISTS, that we go to HIM, learn to hear HIS VOICE to get our more specific daily directions. Carrying around a flawless book would make it even more of an idol than the KJV has become anyway.

And we learn what He wants from His Book.

A perfect God is capable of giving us a perfect Book.
