Podcast appearances and mentions of king james only

Sunday, 10 August 2025   And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?” Matthew 12:23   “And they were astounded, all the crowds. And they said, ‘Not any, this, He is the Son of David?'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus healed a mute and blind man so that he could speak and see. Now, the reaction to that by the crowds is provided by Matthew, saying, “And they were astounded, all the crowds.”   A new word, existémi, to be amazed or astounded, is used. It is from ek, out, and histémi, to stand. The idea is that of being knocked off one's feet or beside oneself. The people saw this and were truly amazed at what they beheld.   So incredible was the miracle that, despite not understanding how Jesus could be the Messiah, they still couldn't dismiss it. This is seen in their seemingly oddly constructed words, “And they said, ‘Not any, this, He is the Son of David?'”   The word méti, only seen so far in Matthew 7:16, is used. It comes from me, not, and tis, any (something, certain, some, etc.). A single word that might reflect their thinking would be the word whether. Combining that with “this” to identify Him specifically adds emphasis.   They are essentially saying something like, “It can't be that He is the Son of David, but maybe He is!” They are conflicted and trying to reason between what they presuppose about a Messiah and what their eyes actually see.   This is the second time that anyone has specifically addressed Jesus as the Son of David. The first time was an adamant assertion –   “When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, ‘Son of David, have mercy on us!'” Matthew 9:27   These two blind men were able to discern that Jesus is, in fact, the Son of David, meaning the promised Messiah. However, the crowds who could see could not fully come to such a resolution in their minds. Such is the power of presupposition.   Life application: We as humans quite often form presuppositions about a matter or a person based on a limited, imperfect, or tainted understanding of the person or thing. Once that thought is settled in our minds, it is very hard to get it out.   For example, a person may sit in a church when he is young, listening to a biblically inept pastor who doesn't know eschatology very well. The pastor may deny that there is something called the rapture, and without any biblical support, he dismisses it as nonsense.   For that young person, he is sitting under an authority figure whom he likes and respects. He trusts that what he has heard is correct. As he grows, he learns that there are not only those who believe in a rapture, but that there is a wide range of views as to its timing.   However, his mind is already made up that there is no such thing. And so, when he discusses the matter with others, he already has a wall up to defend against the doctrine, even though it is clearly presented in the word. When presented with the clear and obvious instruction, his mind finds it hard to resolve what he already believed and what Paul precisely states.   In this state, he is conflicted, just like the people who saw Jesus' healing of the deaf and blind man. Two blind people, who couldn't see what Jesus looked like, knew from their other senses that He must be the Son of David. But these people, allowing for their preconceived notions about Him, were unable to fully perceive what was plain and obvious.   What do you believe about King James Only-ism? How do you perceive the state of the nation of Israel today? What do you believe happens to believers when they die? Is the coming temple and its sacrifices a good thing or a bad thing in God's eyes? Is Jesus both God and Man? Is Jesus the only way to heaven? If you are saved, can you lose your salvation?   If you have been around the faith long enough, you have already been presented with views on these matters, whether they were responsibly taught from Scripture or not. What you were originally taught, or what your mind conceived was correct, is what you will believe going forward, unless you are to stop and say, “I will go where the word leads, even if it conflicts with what I currently believe.”   This is not an easy path to follow. We usually put a lot of our time and mental thought into what we think we believe. To say, “I was wrong,” is like throwing away a part of who we have become. It can also be embarrassing. And yet, are we going to put God, His word, and proper doctrine first?   The people saw Jesus and they beheld His miracles, and yet, they struggled to say, “Surely, this is the Messiah.” Their Scriptures already told them what He would do, but they held stubbornly to presuppositions, conflicted and tossed about in their thinking.   “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing.” Isaiah 35:5, 6   Lord God, help us in our thinking. We come to the table with piles of theological baggage heaped up in our minds. Sometimes it is from honest but misguided teachers. Sometimes, it is from people who don't want us to see the truth. And sometimes, we just made things up in our heads. Help us to clear this out, to see what is correct, and to be pleasing to You in our doctrine. Amen.

For over 400 years, the King James Version of the Bible has shaped the English-speaking world—one could argue that it's been the single most influential and important book in the English-speaking world. But for some Christians today, it's more than just a trusted translation—it's the only legitimate translation. The King James Only movement insists that all other English translations are flawed, dangerous, or even deceptive. But where did this idea come from? Why do some believers cling so tightly to this one version? And what does the actual history—of manuscripts, translations, and church tradition—really say? In this episode, we'll explore the roots of the KJV-only position, the arguments that fuel it, and why a faithful reading of Scripture doesn't have to mean speaking 17th-century English.

Dr. Randy White explores King James Only beliefs, highlighting preservation, inspiration, and doctrinal integrity. He critiques the movement while appreciating its commitment to biblical accuracy and translation significance.

Is the King James Only position a sound position? Let's look at some of the evidence.

Many challenges to the Bible have come up over the years, from cults to critics to everything in between. In this message, Pastor Jesse gives us a hodgepodge of various challenges to the Bible in history. First he goes through the false translations and additions made by the Jehovah's Witness and Mormon cults. Then he dives into the phenomenon of King James Only-ism. Lastly, he walks us through the rise of liberal criticism which has called into question the inerrancy of Scripture. This brief walkthrough of these topics will help give you a better understanding of these movements, so that you can have a greater awareness of the error that's out there - and so you can have a greater confidence in what you know to be the truth.

Episode 9924 - 1 Kings 1 -3 - Speak My Word Recorded 12-9-2022 on OMEGAMAN omegamanradio.com

Wednesday, 28 September 2022   Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. When he comes, he will speak to you.' Acts 10:32   In the previous verse, Cornelius noted the words of the messenger sent from God, saying, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.” The words of verse 10:32 now continue his thought. They follow closely after the words of verses 10:5, 6 –   (10:5, 6) “Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. 6 He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do.”   (10:32) “Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. When he comes, he will speak to you.”   Cornelius is carefully explaining exactly what occurred so that Peter is fully aware of what transpired and of what is expected of him. To get a full sense of the meaning of the words, please refer to the commentaries on Acts 10:5, 6.   Life application: There is a great division among people about how the Bible is to be translated. Cornelius does not explain to Peter word for word what the messenger said to him. However, he carefully gives the substance of what the angel has said.   In Bible translations, some demand an exact and literal rendering of what is said in the originals (literal translation). Doing this can make the translation unintelligible to the reader because various words and idioms do not convey the same meaning as to the original audience.   Some think that a dynamic equivalence is the best way to go. That is having the “quality of a translation in which the message of the original text has been so transported into the receptor language that the response of the receptor is essentially like that of the original receptors” (Eugene Nida). The meaning is “sense for sense.”   The original audience received the words of the writer, and their minds had a sense of what the meaning was. Likewise, when translated into another language, the desired goal is for the translation to carry the same sense.   For example, “He was killed with the mouth of the sword” (Hebrew thought) becomes “He was killed with the edge of the sword (English thought).” Another example might be that of 1 Kings 18:21, “Until when are you leaping on the two branches?” That becomes “How long will you falter between two opinions?” The first is an idiomatic expression that means nothing to an English reader. Hence, a literal translation really says nothing to the mind. In this, the original words are not conveyed, only a sense of what they mean is.   There are many (almost innumerable) other types of Bible translations, each claiming it is the “best and most reliable.” But the fact is that any translation can only go so far in its ability to convey the true meaning of what is said. Before Bibles were common, plays about the gospel message helped explain the Bible to people. That would be a sort of verbal paraphrase to convey meaning. Is that wrong? Obviously not. We watch movies about Jesus all the time.   In church on Sunday, a reliable pastor will read a passage of Scripture and then take the time to describe it in one of various ways, such as from a moral, a historical, a prophetic, or a typological explanation. Is one “more right” than another? Not if the word is properly explained. We should not get so caught up in a single translation or a single way of instructing from the Bible that we dismiss other ways of transmitting the message.   This will lead to arrogance, judgmentalism, finger-pointing, and congregations that are actually unbalanced and unhealthy. If you don't know that, go sit in a King James Only congregation for a couple of Sundays. The Bible will give you exactly what you are willing to take from it. If you don't read it, it will give you nothing. If you read it in one fallible translation, you will think of its contents only from that perspective.   If you read many translations, you will get a broader view of what is being said. You will be able to more accurately evaluate what is going on and what the meaning of various literary styles will convey. If you study the original languages, you will become even more proficient in the nuances of what is being conveyed. If you study the land from which the narratives are penned, you will gain even greater insights into the original intent of the authors. And so on.   Be careful to always handle the Bible with the utmost care and respect but understand that because it comes from the mind of God, what is being conveyed can be explored and explained in a multitude of ways, none of which are incorrect. But they may be insufficient in fully explaining all of what the original intent may mean. Above all, pray to the Lord for guidance, insight, and wisdom in His word when you read it. And you cannot get those things unless... you actually read it.   Heavenly Father, what a joy and a blessing it is to receive Your word each day, to drink from it as the coolest of water, to revel in it as the greatest treat, and to share it as the most precious gift. What a treasure it is that we possess when we have Your word. Thank You for Your precious word. Amen.
