Westcott and Hort Are Demon Liberals? Alas…
February 6, 2012
J. T. Babtist sings his song about the KJV, “It’s Still Going Strong” using the latest and greatest technology to make a video in which liberals are sad, Wescott and Hort are pictured as demons ala Chick Tracts, and that haven of liberalism Bob Jones University (really?) gets burned to the ground!
As Darrel from Stuff Fundies Like points out, “nothing says ‘I vigorously disagree but I respect your right to your own opinion’ like singing about burning places to the ground.’”
Best comment at SFL: mbi2000, “My greek nt still going strong, the king james scholars they are dead.”

Pffft! That commenter clearly hasn’t talked to a lot of KJV1611 fanatics otherwise he would have known that the King James is MORE PERFECT THAN THE GREEK!! Not even kidding. Here is an excerpt from “The Answer Book” by Sam Gipp:
“QUESTION #56:
What should I do where my Bible and my Greek Lexicon contradict?
ANSWER:
Throw out the Lexicon.
EXPLANATION:
Oftimes a critic of God’s Bible will point to a Lexicon or Greek grammar book for authority in an effort to prove that a word has been mistranslated in the Bible. This is rather foolhardy, and flies in the face of their purported claim to accept the Bible as their final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
It must be remembered that God never claimed that He would provide us with a perfect lexicon or an inerrant Greek grammar. He said that He would provide us with a perfect Bible.
Thus, on the weight of our own acceptance of the Bible as our “final authority in all matters of faith and practice” we must all accept its rendering of the Greek as more accurate and authoritative than the opinion of the fallible human authors of our Greek study guides. ”

Wow. KJVO is almost enough to make one a protest atheist.
I assume “Demon Liberals” have replaced “Demon Rum” in that Dry Pledge they used to sign after the Altar Call?
Oh, so that’s why the rum’s gone!
