Pray!

Hi Lutero,
I am sincerely proud of God’s deity being given honour, magnified, exalted and Glorified in the KJV in comparison to other translations.

I believe most Bibles are written by men of good faith. And all attempt to be faithful to the Word of God. So, I believe they all honor, magnify, exalt and glorify God equally.

This is important. Psalm 138:2 – “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name”.

Beautiful passage. The equivalent in the Douay says:
: [2] I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

Note how confusedly the KJV says, “thou has magnified thy word above all thy name”. Do we really honor His Word above His Name?

Whereas the Douay so eloquently says, “thou has magnified thy holy name above all”. Because God’s name is so holy that the Jews would not even pronounce it. His name is above all.

I also do believe that John 17:17 is the foundation of Sola scripture.

In spite of the fact that it says nothing about Sola Scriptura and the Bible tells you elsewhere to hear the Church (Matt 18:17), submit to the Priests (Heb 13:17), hold tradition (2 Thess 2:15), and that the Word of God is passed down by Word (Heb 13:7; 1 Thess 2:13). In spite of all that, you hold to a tradition of men which contradicts the Word of God in Scripture.

Sincerely,

De Maria
