My position immediately follows these very important scriptures...
1Co 1:17-31
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which
by the gospel is preached unto you.
The Lord has made it plain that no matter what men do,
His Word will last forever.
I have
no doubt
that the KJV 1611 Authorized Version is the Word of God.
Neither do I have any doubt that Satan has perverted God's Word through the
proliferation of many (so-called) versions of the bible.
I have
no doubt
that people on both sides of the issue
are sincere.
I have
no doubt
that Satan enjoys the bickering.
I have
no doubt
that the bickering distracts people
from the Gospel.
I have
no doubt
that it is God's will that the Gospel
be preached. And, that since the bickering distracts people from the Gospel it
is not in Christianity's best interest to contend for the Word (
That is
God's
domain.
) at the sacrifice of preaching the Gospel.
In the end it is better to preach the Gospel than to
contend for something that God has
already promised
to preserve. Some men are simply stepping on God's toes, trying to do
His job
for Him.
The KJV only contraversy has become a point of
contention between Christian brothers...and distracting them from their
commission. Men are being used as tools of Satan in this to hinder the Gospel.
It is not good to distract people from the Gospel and turn their thoughts to
disputings over the Word which most people can't figure out anyway.
( Think about it! )
Preach the gospel and let God take care of His
Word...quit majoring in minors; major in the Gospel instead...
Teach people about the KJV
after
they've been saved, don't
cause
it to be a stumblingblock for them.
