GOP debate - Do You Believe This Book? |
I don't know how many watched the Republican debate the other night. I
didn't . However, one of the YouTube questions was "Do you believe this
book?" And the kid in the video was holding up a KJV babble.

Do You Believe This Book?
By Carlos Fri Nov 30, 2007 at 02:09:19 PM EST
Bob Allen of Ethics Daily discovers some interesting things about the
young guy who asked the Republican candidates if they believed every
word of the King James Version of the Bible.
It is hard to imagine that ideas like this are still floating around
about the King James Version of the Bible, but here they are:
Huckabee's answer also didn't satisfy Dearing, who appears in other
videos on a religious version of YouTube advocating use of only the King
James Version of the Bible.
"I think Mike Huckabee is a typical liberal pastor, because I heard
in a previous debate that he didn't think it matters whether or not you
believe the creation in Genesis was six literal days," Dearing told the
Dallas newspaper.
Dearing's user profile at GodTube.com describes him as a 24-year-old
male from Grand Prairie, Texas, who signed up for the site 38 days ago.
"I was saved from eternity in a literal fiery hell in 2003 by the
only means possible--grace through faith in the blood atonement of the
Lord Jesus Christ on the cross," Dearing says in a paragraph "about me."
"He died as a sacrifice to pay for my sins and then rose from the
dead," the profile continues. "Since then, I've grown a lot spiritually,
thanks to the influence of the infallible word of God, which today is
found in the Authorized (King James) Bible."
"The King James Version is not just a translation of the word of
God," Dearing says in one of his videos. "It is literally the
supernatural word of God, just as much as the original autographs were
the word of God."
Modern Bible translations like the Revised Standard Version, New
American Standard Version and Southern Baptist Convention-produced
Holman Christian Standard Version, he says in another video, are "fake
Bibles" that "contain lies."
Presumptions underlying modern translations, like the Bible was
without error in original texts called autographs but not in the later
translation of the KJV, Dearing reasons, would mean that God made the
effort to reveal His word in Scripture but not to preserve it.
Dearing says on his MySpace page that growing up in liberal
churches, he didn't even know he wasn't saved.
"The main reason I'm saved now is what I learned from
Bible-believers showing me the differences between the Bible versions,"
he said. "You can't get saved until you understand the gospel, and I
didn't understand the gospel until I read the King James verses."
