                   "Pilgrimettes"  From  THE  PILGRIM    
     ? QUESTIONS ?  FOR  THE  KJV-ONLY  CULT  **

       by  GARY  R.  HUDSON

    **  as compared to any other existing "translation-ONLY" cult

    (1)  Must we possess a perfectly flawless bible translation in order to call it "the word of God"? If so, how do we know "it" is perfect? If not, why do some "limit" "the word of God" to only ONE "17th Century English" translation? Where was "the word of God" prior to 1611? Did our Pilgrim Fathers have "the word of God" when they brought the GENEVA BIBLE translation with them to North America?

    (2)  Were the KJV translators "LIARS" for saying that "the very meanest [poorest] translation" is still "the word of God"?

    (3)  Do you believe that the Hebrew and Greek used for the KJV are "the word of God"?

    (4)  Do you believe that the Hebrew and Greek underlying the KJV can "correct" the English?

    (5)  Do you believe that the English of the KJV "corrects" its own Hebrew and Greek texts from which it was translated?

    (6)  Is ANY translation "inspired"? Is the KJV an "inspired translation"?

    (7)  Is the KJV "scripture"? Is IT "given by inspiration of God"? [2 Tim. 3:16]

    (8)  WHEN was the KJV "given by inspiration of God"  1611... or any of the KJV major/minor revisions in 1613, 1629, 1638, 1644, 1664, 1701, 1744, 1762, 1769, and the last one in 1850?

    (9)  In what language did Jesus Christ [not Peter Ruckman and others] teach that the Old Testament would be preserved forever according to Matthew 5:18?

    (10)  Where does the Bible teach that God will perfectly preserve His Word in the form of one seventeenth-century English translation?

    (11)  Did God lose the words of the originals when the "autographs" were destroyed?

    (12)  Did the KJV translators mislead their readers by saying that their New Testament was "translated out of the original Greek"? [title page of KJV N.T.] Were they "liars" for claiming to have "the original Greek" to translate from?

    (13)  Was "the original Greek" lost after 1611?

    (14)  Did the great Protestant Reformation (1517-1603) take place without "the word of God"?

    (15)  What copy or translations of "the word of God," used by the Reformers, was absolutely infallible and inerrant? [their main Bibles are well-known and copies still exist].

    (16)  IF... the KJV is "God's infallible and preserved word to the English-speaking people," did the "English-speaking people" have "the word of God" from 1525-1604?

    (17)  Was Tyndale's [1525], or Coverdale's [1535], or Matthew's [1537], or the Great [1539], or the Geneva [1560]... English Bibles absolutely infallible?

    (18)  If neither the KJV nor any other one version were absolutely inerrant, could a lost sinner still be "born again" by the "incorruptible word of God"? [1 Peter 1:23]

    (19)  If the KJV can "correct" the inspired originals, did the Hebrew and Greek originally "breathed out by God" need correction or improvement?

    (20)  Since most "KJV-Onlyites" believe the KJV is the inerrant and inspired "scripture" [2 Peter 1:20], and 2 Peter 1:21 says that "the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," would you not therefore reason thus  "For the King James Version came not in 1611 by the will of man: but holy men of God translated as they were moved by the Holy Ghost"?

    (21)  Which reading is the verbally (word-for-word) inerrant scripture  "whom ye" [Cambridge KJV's] or, "whom he" [Oxford KJV's] at Jeremiah 34:16?

    (22)  Which reading is the verbally (word-for-word) inerrant scripture "sin" [Cambridge KJV's] or "sins" [Oxford KJV's] at 2 Chronicles 33:19?

    (23)  Who publishes the infallible "INERRANT KJV"?

    (24)  Since the revisions of the KJV from 1613-1850 made (in addition to changes in punctuation, capitalization, and spelling) many hundreds of changes in words, word order, possessives, singulars for plurals, articles, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions, entire phrases, and the addition and deletion of words  would you say the KJV was "verbally inerrant" in 1611... or 1629, 1638, 1644, 1664, 1701, 1744, 1762, 1769, or 1850?

    (25)  Would you contend that God waited until a king named "JAMES" sat on the throne of England before perfectly preserving His Word in English, and would you think well of an "Epistle Dedicatory" that praises this king as "most dread Sovereign...Your Majesty's Royal Person..."  IF the historical FACT was revealed to you that King James was a practicing homosexual all of his life? [documentation  Antonia Fraser "King James VI of Scotland, I of England" Knopf Publ./1975/pgs. 36-37, 123 || Caroline Bingham  "The Making of a King" Doubleday Publ./1969/pgs. 128-129, 197-198 || Otto J. Scott  "James I" Mason-Charter Publ./1976/pgs. 108, 111, 120, 194, 200, 224, 311, 353, 382 || David H. Wilson  "King James VI & I" Oxford Publ./1956/pgs. 36, 99-101, 336-337, 383-386, 395 || plus several encyclopedias]

    (26)  Would you contend that the KJV translator, Richard Thomson, who worked on Genesis-Kings in the Westminster group, was "led by God in translating" even though he was an alcoholic that "drank his fill daily" throughout the work? [Gustavus S. Paine  "The Men Behind the KJV" Baker Book House/1979/pgs. 40, 69]

    (27)  Is it possible that the rendition "gay clothing," in the KJV at James 2:3, could give the wrong impression to the modern-English KJV reader?

    (28)  Did dead people "wake up" in the morning according to Isaiah 37:36 in the KJV?

    (29)  Was "Baptist" John's last name according to Matthew 14:8 and Luke 7:20 in the KJV?

    (30)  Is 2 Corinthians 6:11-13 in the KJV understood or make any sense to the modern-English KJV reader? "O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged." As clearly understood from the New International Version [NIV]  "We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you. We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. As a fair exchange  I speak as to my children  open wide your hearts also."

    (31)  Does the singular "oath's," occurring in every KJV at Matthew 14:9 and Mark 6:26, "correct" every Textus Receptus Greek which has the plural ("oaths") by the post-1611 publishers, misplacing the apostrophe?

    (32)  Did Jesus teach a way for men to be "worshiped" according to Luke 14:10 in the KJV, contradicting the first commandment and what He said in Luke 4:8? [Remember  you may not go the Greek for any "light" if you are a KJV-Onlyite!]

    (33)  Is the Holy Spirit an "it" according to John 1:32; Romans 8:16, 26; and 1 Peter 1:11 in the KJV? [Again  you may not go the Greek for any "light" if you are a KJV-Onlyite!]

    (34)  Does Luke 23:56 support a "Friday" crucifixion in the KJV? [No "day" here in Greek]

    (35)  Did Jesus command for a girl to be given "meat" to eat according to Luke 8:55 in the KJV? [or, "of them that sit at meat with thee." at Luke 14:10]

    (36)  Was Charles Haddon Spurgeon a "Bible-corrector" for saying that Romans 8:24 should be rendered "saved in hope," instead of the KJV's "saved by hope"? [Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Vol 27, 1881, page 485  see more Spurgeon KJV comments in What is "KJV-Onlyism?", his & many others' views in the article, "Quotes on Bible Translations."]

    (37)  Was J. Frank Norris a "Bible-corrector" for saying that the correct rendering of John 3:5 should be "born of water and the Spirit," and for saying that "repent and turn" in Acts 26:20 should be "repent, even turn"? [Norris-Wallace Debate, 1934, pgs. 108, 116]

    Also, is Norman Pickering an "Alexandrian Apostate" for stating, "The nature of language does not permit a 'perfect' translation  the semantic area of words differs between languages so that there is seldom complete overlap.  A 'perfect' translation of John 3:16 from Greek into English is impossible, for we have no perfect equivalent for "agapao" [translated "loved" in John 3:16]."?

    (38)  Was R. A. Torrey "lying" when he said the following in 1907 "No one, so far as I know, holds that the English translation of the Bible is absolutely infallible and inerrant. The doctrine held by many is that the Scriptures as originally given were absolutely infallible and inerrant, and that our English translation is a substantially accurate rendering of the Scriptures as originally given"? [Difficulties in the Bible, page 17]

    (39)  Is Don Edwards correct in agreeing "in favor of canonizing our KJV," thus replacing the inspired canon in Hebrew and Greek? [The Flaming Torch, June 1989, page 6]

    (40)  Did God supernaturally "move His Word from the original languages to English" in 1611 as affirmed by The Flaming Torch? [same page above]
