The word of God has been in heaven forever. The KJV has always been there. The so called Hebrew words like Alleluia are English words. The English did not borrow them from the Hebrew but rather the Hebrew borrowed them from the English. If the KJV has always been there and is the original word of God then there is no other conclusion. The same can be said for any so called Greek words that were borrowed from the Greek or transliterated. It is a matter of what bias you approach this particular subject.

hmm... Could there be two ratings. One for fundamentalism, second for total lack of knowledge/idiotism...

Funny that they borrowed words from a language that didn´t exist yet.

I really don't get this KJV thing ... why are fucking Baptists so mad for the Church of England's text?

Or is it just a case of their pastors want theology degrees, but Greek and Hebrew are too fucking hard?

So this is what happens when you force-feed a donkey a dozen of KJV Babbles and a cocktail of psychotropics.... I really don't see the point of this exercice in animal cruelty.

Too bad Alternate Bizarro Universe Award is already taken this month... Hard-On For The KJV n+1thed.

When I was young I refused to understand fundies because I thought that everyone has some intelligence.

The more I read FSTDT the more I find that some of the eugeny theories make sense...
Donskey I hope for all humanity that you won't have any childrens....

\"About as sharp as a sack of wet mice\" - Foghorn Leghorn

1. \"The word of God has been in heaven forever.\"
WRONG! The Bible clearly states \"In the begining God created the heaven and the earth.\" So heaven hasn't existed forever. How did you miss that its the first fucking sentence of the Bible?

2. \"The KJV has always been there.\" WRONG! The KJV was translated from older texts of Latin in the 1600's. Also see point 1 above.

3. \"The English did not borrow them from the Hebrew but rather the Hebrew borrowed them from the English.\" WRONG! The Hebrews and their language predate the English and their lanquage by thousands of years.

4. \"If the KJV has always been there and is the orginal word of God then there is no other conclusion.\" WRONG! Neither the KJV nor the English language has always been there, see points 1, 2 & 3 above.

5. \"It is a matter of what bias you approach this particular subject.\" IRONY OVERLOAD! This is your problem you are guided by your bias, whereas historians and other people living in the real world are guided by the evidence.

Except that \"English\" wasn't even a real language until printing was discovered. Hebrew and Greek predate English by several millenia.

You lose.

The KJV isn't even the original English translation. Most of it was copied from guys like William Tyndale (who was burned at the stake for it), Coverdale and Erasmus. In many cases, phrases were copied verbatum from these earlier versions. Much of the KJV NT comes from Tyndale word for word.

Here's a sample of an English Bible from around 1000 years after Jesus' death:

Soþlice on þam dagum wæs geworden gebod fram þam casere augusto. þæt eall ymbehwyrft wære tomearcod; þeos tomearcodnes wæs æryst geworden fram þam deman syrige cirino. and ealle hig eodon. and syndrie ferdon on hyra ceastre;

The same passage from the KJV: \"And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus,...\"

\"Alleluia\" comes from Latin. See here and here.

I mean, I can understand in the abstract his point that \"if God created it, it must have always existed,\" but it is just not true that \"Alleluia\" is an English word.

Anybody remember that Idrewthis comic I posted in response to a fundie claiming Jesus would come back as a superhero? I just realised that its a multi-use comic... so here we go again.

And anyway, isn't it originally 'Hallelujah'? That doesn't look especially English to me.

The sad thing is how this one crazy has other people on that thread either not disagreeing with him or coming close to agreeing.

:-(

ETA: I was wrong! The discussion has grown beyond where I last read it, and there is plenty of dissent.

Does this idiot not realise that the English language didn't even exist 2000 years ago?

Obviously not.

I'm new to all this; this is the first time I've posted here.

Can someone confirm that the original poster, Donskey, and those who subsequently posted on the KJBO site are real people living in this real world?

If they are, can you tell me where I can get some of the dope they are obviously on? If they are good christians they really ought to share it!

I've tried to follow the arguments on the KJBO site but lost the will to live after a very short while!

Please tell me these people aren't real!!

Of course God speaks English.

He sounds exactly like James Mason, too.
