Grace Believing Rightly Dividers Exposing the Heresy of KJVOism

I came across this Facebook page today. 

It is a dispensational page that shares information on right division while also attacking King James Bible believers. 

Similar to the so called “Berean Bible Society” (that has no Bible), this right division page does not have the “word of truth” to rightly divide (2 Tim. 2:15). 

They use many Bibles and many different Greek texts. They think whichever Greek readings you like or whichever ones help prove your point for that particular sermon (or your line of theology) are the ones you should go with. Same with translations. Use whichever one most agrees with your theology or sermon point for that day. And if you like a particular one you can use it all you want, as long as you do not believe it is the very word of God without error and make it your final authority. 

There is no such thing as a person that is against King James Onlyism. They are not against the King James Bible. They are against their being only one Bible that we must submit to as “all authority” and “holy” (Titus 2:15, 2 Timothy 3:16). If all King James Bible believers put down the KJB today and said “Y’all are right, the KJB has errors. We now believe that the English Standard Version is the word of God preserved for us”, then all the anti KJB folks would all of a sudden become anti ESV. They are not against the KJB, they are against there being a such thing as “holy” scriptures that are “all authority”. 

If you believe that your Bible is pure, holy, living, quick, powerful, and more sure than God speaking directly from heaven, and that ANY other bible that differs from your Bible is corrupt, then they say you are a “cult”….

Well all the prophets, apostles, and Jesus Christ must have been in a cult because they all professed to have the living word of God and they believed their copy was more sure than God speaking directly from heaven… 

2 Peter 1: 

[16] For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
[17] For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

[19] We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
[20] Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
[21] For 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.

So Peter believed their copy of the scriptures was “more sure” than the God breathed original words spoken from heaven. According to the anti KJB folks, he was in a cult for believing such a thing. The apostle Paul also believed that he had the scriptures and he believed that other people were corrupting the word of God (2 Cor. 2:17, 2 Thes. 2:2). 

And no King James Only person that I know of says that the KJB is the “4th person of the Trinity”. That is unnecessary. The word of God is part of Him, that is the only way it can called “holy scriptures”, because it is HIS word. If it were the words of man it could not be called holy (“for thou only art holy” Rev. 15:4). The word of God is part of Him and that is how it can be said that it is “quick” and that it “liveth” (Heb. 4:12, 1 Pet. 1:23). And I do not exalt the KJB as an idol, but I do recognize that God has magnified His word above all His name (Ps. 138:2). Someone’s name would mean nothing if their word were not true. 

I scrolled through the Facebook and like typical Bible corrector fashion, he calls King James Only believers a cult, shared posts about alleged errors in the KJB, but at no time does he explain where the word of God is or what his final authority is. He says King James Only believers do not understand how God actually preserved his word, but at no time does he enlighten us on the matter (because at the end of the day he does not believe that God preserved it, it is lost to most people and we must rely on the sciences of archaeology to dig up the manuscripts for us and the science of textual criticism to “reconstruct” what they “think” the original writings said). 

What position is more cult like? The one who says God’s word is perfect and our final authority, not man. Or the one that says we need historians, archaeologists, and textual critics to tell us what God might have said originally? 

1 Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

That’s all folks.
