Why do you always use "born again Christian"?
Many People call themselves "Christian". But what are the characteristics of the truly born again?
Is this just another King James Bible advocacy?
Not at all. This website clearly provides all the evidence a born again Christian needs to correctly choose the Line of Manuscripts underlying his Bible. Once you understand what modern Text Critics have done to modern Bibles - which they never clearly tell anyone - it is now becomes clearer to go back to the Historical, Traditional Line of Manuscripts underlying your Bible. Please review the Header "Text Comparison" to see some of the changes between the two Lines.
The King James Bible is of course not the only one using the Textus Receptus. Personally I use besides the KJB also the 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) for it does update some of the antiquated words, updates the spelling, yet does NOT change the underlying text. It of course uses the Textus Receptus.
My Church uses the ESV Bible. It is a word-for-word translation. Should I still use it?
Among the modern Bibles the ESV has the advantage of being a word-for-word translation. But by far the bigger issue is the fact that the ESV uses the corrupt Critical Text (Nestle Aland) as its basis to translate from. At best the ESV "contains" about maybe 85% of God's Word, but why would anybody be satisfied with this? Use a Bible which is 100% God's Word. In doing so you demonstrate your respect and awe for God's Holy Word.
What does AI (ChatGPT) say about the 2 separate Line of Manuscripts?
That is indeed an interesting answer. Ownership of the biblical Text belongs only to the Church. Rightly so the Textus Receptus Line of Manuscripts is the preserved Word of the Church, it was widely available and used throughout the Centuries for religious and spiritual purposes.
The Critical Text is a futile academic endeavor to recreate a new Text using Manuscripts the Church long ago rejected. These Manuscripts, which have no providence, are highly corrupted and suspect, influenced by Gnosticism and many were found on Garbage dumps. Sorry, that is NOT Biblical Scholarship!
What does AI (ChatGPT) say about the age of this highly favored Codex Vaticanus?
There you have it! Stay away from anybody who tells you that Codex Vaticanus is the "oldest and best" Bible we have. It is simply not true. Don't use any modern Bible which relies on Codex Vaticanus for 90% of its text.
A born again Christian must posses all 3 points.
1) One must have knowledge of the Bible, of the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the teachings, and especially the Law and the Gospel. This knowledge alone however does not save a person.
2) One must be absolutely convinced that the Bible is the Truth and in fact the Word of God and not the word of Men. This happens when the Holy Spirit so convicts a person. This is a critical point. Modern Text Critics do NOT believe this.
3) One must apply these teachings of the Bible to yourself - called obedience - so it will change your Life.
