I was posting my last post, just as I noticed your very long and very detailed post. I have now read through it all. I plan to pray and read through it again before really commenting.
I would like to say, my brother, Thank you! I know how long it takes to research and pull together information. You have seriously written a very intelligent and thoughtful response to each and every one of my proposed verses. Your integrity for God's Word just shines through. And for the first time in over 5 months I feel that I may soon have peace on this subject. However, and I say this not to be contentious, but because I want as many of those heart issues settled, that I still have questions on some of these verses and will address them individually in following posts.
In General, though, I do have questions about your resources, as to identity, not veracity. I assume they came from multiple locations. Some I can assume, like a Strong's concordance, but on the history of words, is there just a few sources or do they come from many? The reason I ask is that I have a limited library and a small budget for expansion, but if many of my questions could at least be researched further on my own, then I would consider purchasing them.
Another general question, where can I find truthful information about the parameters that King James and his translators set as guidelines for the Original 1611 and the later authorized 1769. For the original, didn't the King request that they keep the names of the prophets and writers to be retained to what they are "vulgarly" used. To me, this meaning includes consistency, but perhaps that is not the meaning. Is there a known list of the changes at least in kind if not specifically from the 1611 to the 1769? Or at least from the 1769 to what shows online as 1900?
Gratefully yours
