Perhaps you’ll be interested in following this thread. At some point we’ll see just how much ‘science’ is contained in the Book of Job . . . truths contained in a book 400 years old.
Look at Genesis 31. Growing up I believe we all had a mother that like to clean our room. They had an uncanny ability to drop a letter, it could be an 8-page letter, to the floor – falls open – and she can read every page of that letter, every word, before she stands back up and puts it back in. Well, in no time you know that she read that letter. Well, when that kind of thing happened, didn’t we react something like Jacob did to Laban in Genesis 31:37 , “Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff . . .”!
Isn’t that what we called it? We said, “You searched all my stuff!”
And when we move, what do we call it? “We put our stuff on the truck.”
You camp out and you “take your stuff” to the cabin, or get your stuff and put it in the motel room. You can look at the New King James, and the New International Version and the New American Standard version . . . the New King James says you searched all my things, and the NIV and NASV say you searched all my goods.
Well, that’s all well and good, but is that how we talk? No.
Shouldn’t a modern translation use words like we use today? Every one of us says ‘stuff’ . . . isn’t that the truth? You don’t say, “all my goods” you say “that’s all my stuff over there!”
I’ll tell you something else. If you are an atheist and you don’t believe the King James Version is the Word of God, you don’t think there is a God and you think that the world is flat – it doesn’t matter what you think! You are still going to say, I don’t believe any of THAT STUFF!
You say, “I’m going to get my stuff and get out of here! These King James fanatics are crazy!!”
I’m going to tell you something people. Folks are going to quote that King James Bible – I don’t care if don’t quote Jesus wept, I don’t care if you don’t quote John 3:16, you are going to say something that the King James Version said centuries before you were born!
