Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Yigal Levin <leviny1 AT mail.biu.ac.il>]

Okay, I get the idea. As I wrote before, people of any faith are welcome on
the list, but this is not a forum for religious debate. Even if he does come
aboard and opens such a debate, I expect our members to practice their usual
self-restraint.

KJBO = King James Bible Only
My experience with such folk is that if there is a discrepancy between the
King James Version and the Hebrew or Greek (whether text or grammar), then
the Hebrew or Greek is wrong. God inspired the Authorized Version
translators on the same level as the original authors. Further, only the
1611 AD version of the Authorized Version is the Word of God. We have such
folk by the bushel in Oklahoma and Arkansas sporting bumper stickers that
read "1611= Word of God". These are fundamentalists of the most characatured
stripe. There is a whole publishing industry devoted to this topic, both pro
and con. This could be interesting.
