What we know as the King James translation is a significant early work in the history of the Protestant movement in Christendom. Because it is thus revered, and because it was proposed to be an “Authorized Version” for the Anglican Church, some Christians believe this bible is God’s one anointed bible in English.

I obviously disagreee :-)

The bible is a robust text, compassing its message round about from many points of view, which is why the worldview it imparts can and does survive the process of rendering into different languages and dialects. It’s about looking through its words to a larger reality behind them, which the Holy Spirit will not fail to illuminate when asked. “Does any one of you lack wisdom?”

Good Christian students will dig and not rest on a single proof text without larger supporting context. The bible rhymes with itself. If our reading of something in the bible fails to rhyme with the rest, this is a sign of misreading something.

The onlyists seem to have a superficial model of what the bible is about. It is the lesson book from which the Holy Spirit teaches. It was never meant to be a private, isolated self study, no matter how sublime its form.

Every time a talking head comes on they should be identified on screen as a Socialist or a "Independent" affiliated. Put a "S" after their name or an "I".

Example: "Juan Williams -S FoxNews"
