I am NOT A Fan of King James Onlyism

I am not a fan of anyone who says that the bible I read is wrong.  I read mostly out of the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) and I have for over 6 years now.  I have KJV of the Bible but I am not one to say it’s the only true version and I will never really use other the home study.  I will tell you way in another post coming soon.

Sam Gipp has come out with a set of videos talking about how the KJV is the only true version of the Bible.  You can find these Videos below and on Youtube.  Now to be truthful I am not the most knowledgeable on the subject but I have been doing my home work.  But luckily there is another minister that has been and have even wrote a book on the Subject, James R. White.  For this post I am going to put the video for both Sam Gipp and James R. White. 

1st to be fair, Sam Gipp’s videos

Part 1

Part 2

Now James R. White’s Videos

1st set of videos on part 1 of Sam Gipp’s Video

And Now the video for part 2 of Sam Gipp’s

Sam Gipp has continued releasing his series promoting KJV Onlyism, and we are continuing our rebuttal of his claims.

By the way, one other note on Gipp's video that I forgot to address in this response. He points out that "Calvary" rarely appears in modern translations. That is because the KJV is heavily influenced by the Latin Vulgate, and the Latin term for "skull" (translating the Greek "Golgotha," is calvaria, Calvary. So the KJV is simply using a Latinized "translation" of the same Greek word being more accurately translated by the modern versions as "Golgotha."(James R. White)

How sad that a Bible teacher would try to separate Christians with the lies that he is telling.  We live in a world with so many lost souls and Sam Gipp wants to break up us more.  Very Very SAD.

In my next blog post I will tell you the reason I do not use the KJV.

'Great Commission' descriptor approved by messengers

EDITOR'S NOTE: An expanded story will appear in Baptist Press later today.

NEW ORLEANS (BP) -- The descriptor "Great Commission Baptists" was approved by messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention by a vote of 53 percent to 46 percent after nearly a half-hour debate June 19 at the SBC annual meeting in New Orleans.
According to results announced Wednesday morning, 4,824 ballots were cast, 2,546 were in favor of the descriptor and 2,232 were not in favor of the descriptor. Forty-six ballots were disallowed. At the time of the vote, 7,831 messengers were registered.
The measure survived some parliamentary maneuvering as a messenger called for tabling the discussion indefinitely and another asked that the convention not consider the issue at all.

Messengers approved the recommendation from the SBC Executive Committee that "those churches, entities and organizations in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention" which desire to use a descriptor other than "Southern Baptists" to indicate their involvement in the convention consider using Great Commission Baptists.
The phrase, messengers agreed, is commended "as one fully in keeping with our Southern Baptist Convention identity."

The legal name of the convention will remain "Southern Baptist Convention."
In February, the Executive Committee approved the recommendation brought by SBC President Bryant Wright who had appointed a task force to advise him on the possibility of changing the name of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Based on their advice, Wright brought a recommendation to the EC that the convention keep its name but adopt an informal, non-legal Great Commission Baptists descriptor, to be used by any church that wishes to use it.

Jimmy Draper, chairman of the task force, said the goal from the beginning of the study "was to consider the removal of any barrier to the effective proclamation of the Gospel and reaching people for Christ."
