----------------------------------------------------------------------- ( P ) THE ISSUE OF TRANSLATIONAL ERROR; OT - PROVERBS 14:22 22. Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. - Proverbs 14:22 The devisors of evil produce error. The devisors of good are of mercy and truth. If the holy scriptures of the KJV were a by-product of translational error then they would not be a work of mercy and truth but rather a work and a device of evil. If KJV holy scripture was a device of evil, it would then be a hypocritical written work that could not truly provide the mercy and truth through Christ Jesus which results in eternal life and salvation for the sinner. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ( Q ) THE ISSUE OF TRANSLATIONAL ERROR; NT - PART 5 [15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. [16] But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. [17] And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; [18] Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. [19] Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. - 2 Tim. 2:15-19 In his letter to Timothy, Paul instructs the Christian that through a study of the Word of Truth, the studious person will approve themselves to God. In addition, Paul also instructs the Christian to shun and reject profane and vain words because such words increase in more ungodliness. These vain and profane words, Paul reveals, causes a person to fall into error in regard to the truth of God. As a result of this error which is a by-product of vain and profane words, the faith of the Christian can in fact be overthrown. The overthrowing of a Christians' faith ( i.e. falling from steadfastness ) was a hazard which Peter warned against as discussed in section M. These are very important sets of instructions to the Christian. Paul is revealing a clear distinction between error and the Word of Truth. The Word of Truth will approve and justify a person in Gods’ judgement. While on the contrary, error cannot properly nor correctly instruct the Christian. Rather, error will cause the Christians’ faith to be overthrown. If the English translation of the holy scriptures via the King James was a corrupted or erroneous work then it would be contradictory and false instruction on the apostle Pauls’ part, to tell the reader that studying the Word of Truth will result in Gods’ approval. Study of the English King James scriptures in no manner could provide the reader with Gods’ approval if those very scriptures themselves were erroneously translated. In addition to this, if the English translation of holy scripture via the King James was an erroneous work then those very scriptures would be no more pure or truthful than the very vain and profane babblings which Paul instructs the Christian to shun because such things increase ungodliness rather than godliness. Moreover, if the English translation of holy scripture via the King James was an erroneous work then those very scriptures would only result in overthrowing a Christians’ faith rather than increasing the Christians’ faith. Consequently violating the instruction Paul gave to the Roman Christians when he wrote these words; 17. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. - Romans 10:17 Paul clearly states that it is the Word of God and hearing that Word by which faith comes. Error on the other hand overthrows the Christian faith when one gives heed to error. Error and the Word of God are not one and the same and in no manner can inhabit one another. These standards and parameters within the content of the King James scripture further proves that its’ English translation is pure and absolute truth which needs no further retranslation or alteration. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
