3 Bad KJV Only Arguments: Part 2 - Isaiah 14:12 vs. Revelation 22:16 / 1 John 5:7 / Acts 8:37 ep. 14

Science Faith and Reasoning

This is Part 2 of 3 Bad KJV Only Arguments. In this second half of my podcast, I discuss three ungrounded arguments that are often presented by King James Onlyists (AKA the KJV Onlyism movement). The first argument is the supposed conflation of Jesus and the Devil in how modern translations render the word Latin word "lucifer" (and the Hebrew word "helel") at Isaiah 14:12; which makes Jesus and the Devil both described as a "morning star", which has led some who read these passages purposefully out of context to conclude that the modern translations are saying that Jesus fell from Heaven, an understanding that no one has organically gained from reading the text as the original author's wrote it. The second argument is how most modern translations have a different reading at 1 John 5:7, with a footnote stating what the majority of manuscripts and most reliable manuscripts say in that section. The third argument is how Acts 8:37 is either "missing" from modern translations, or put in brackets with a footnote stating the manuscript issues with the KJV reading.

All of these arguments, if investigated, point to the higher accuracy of the NASB and ESV, especially with the study Bible versions, when compared the King James Version. However, these are still areas of controversy that are highly debated within the KJV-Only NIFB movement.

NOTE: All of my KJV-Onlyism episodes are made completely out of love for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are KJV Only. It is my hope that Christians have a defendable, reasonable, and practical faith based on truth. These videos are simply to point Christians to the truth of the history of transmission, manuscript evidence, and the translation process with regards to the Bible. #KJVOnly #Apologetics #KJV1611 #ModernBibleTranslations #JamesWhite #KingJamesOnlyControversy #StevenAnderson #Christianity #KJVOnlyism #ScienceFaithReasoning #NIFBMovement
