As a newcomer, I really have no right to comment on forum policy, but I'd like to make one small point.

As I said in an introductory post, I was saved at age 19. I was immediately and subsequently "discipled" by some wonderful, precious saints who were not King James people. (The NASV had just been published, and all my mentors swore it was the very best translation, and thoroughly inculcated me with the "original Greek only" position.) But they did help me in my walk with Christ, and I thank my God upon every remembrance of them. (However, I haven't fellowshipped with them for years and years.) I just wish they'd told me the truth about the Bible.

Thirteen years after my conversion, I was finally shown the truth about the Authorized Version, and, needless to say, it revolutionized my life. The Bible became a new and exciting book to me; previously, I had juggled various translations, with the nagging question in my mind, "Why so many versions?" Now, I knew exactly and precisely what God had said.

So, here's the point: I really, really wish that a forum such as this had been available to me 'way back then. (Of course, that would have been impossible, because the Internet did not exist.) But it would have been a place where I could have asked questions - - - sincere questions, not "gotcha" questions - - - and found the truth. And, as a father and grandfather, I praise God that this site, and a few like it, are now available for younger folks who may be in the position I was in.

If someone comes in and asks questions, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're trying to cause division or challenge the KJB; it might just mean that they're ignorant, like I was. If this happens - - - and I doubt that it happens very often; most "new version" people are content with their pseudo-Bibles - - - then their sincere intentions should be pretty easy to discern.

As for scorners and strife-stirrers, I think that a "zero tolerance" policy is essential.

Thanks for your time. Having read this thread, and the forum FAQ, I think that Brother Brandon is handling things exactly as they should be handled.
