"11. The KJV-only doctrine requires that we have some sort of faith in the KJV translators. KJV-only advocates constantly complain that if we don't have one sure Bible, the KJV, then we have to trust what scholars say about the text and its translation. But they are placing their faith solely in the KJV translators. A genuinely Protestant approach to the Bible requires that we not trust any one translator or translation team. Lay Christians can compare different translations to help get at the truth about any passage – or at least to become aware of possible disputes over the meaning of the passage."

Reminds me of another infallibility doctrine.............

It's the keys, man! The keys! (and the bound and loose stuff a course!) And you know it's only in matters of faith and morals, not personal opinions, right???

Anyhow, good article, thanks for posting it.

Foolish and deliberate deception! - Shame on you.

The KJV-only doctrine requires that we have some sort of faith in the Holy Spirit, and some kind of belief that God keeps his promises.
