You asked if God supernaturally guided the KJB
translators to put down the exact words that he wanted, so therefore it was the
inspired word of God. No. It was the inspired word of God before they translated it. Understand that what they translated was already the inspired preserved word of
Almighty God in the original languages.
It didn’t become the inspired
preserved word of God after they
translated it. They just translated each
word into the English language.
It wasn’t until I learned right division that
I even understood the King James issue.
I didn’t even know it was an issue until I heard about it from my pastor
in Chicago, brother Richard Jordan. He
taught me so many other things that I had never heard before, so when he showed
me some things about the different bible versions and I saw that the ‘bible’ I
was using had mistakes and errors but the KJB didn’t, I threw away my NIV. I dug it out of the trash later to show
others.
It made sense to me that the living true God
whose Son is perfect and called the Word of God should be able to preserve his
word perfectly forever.
Psalm 12:6-7
The words of the Lord are pure
words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou
shalt keep them, O Lord, thou
shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
When I got saved I gave God credit that he was
able to give me a book that I could trust.
I reasoned that the living God is
there and I need a connection to him that is true and living…and that is the
word of God.
I believed that I could have that. Now I realize it wasn’t the NIV; it is the
KJB. Some brothers helped me to see
that.
I decided to give God the benefit of the doubt
that I could have his word today. And obviously
over the course of the 15-16 years since then, I have been strengthened in the
conviction that the King James Bible is powerful and is God’s perfect, preserved
inspired word for English-speaking people.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick
[alive!], and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to
the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hopefully this helps!
