[Jesus] healed people sometimes who had faith and sometimes who didn't. He healed people who asked for it and some who didn't. He healed people near and He healed people far. He healed people He was looking at and people He couldn't see… He healed not psychosomatic disorders, but organic illness. He healed people from demon oppression and possession. And He always healed immediately. There's no such thing as a lingering healing, a multiple phase healing. There's no such thing as: I was healed and slowly, I'm getting better. He healed everything, everyone He wanted to heal, completely, instantaneously, and permanently.
John MacArthur

Who Were The King James Transla

Who Were The King James Transla

QUESTION: Is it true that the King James translators were nothing but a bunch of Episcopalian baby sprinklers?

ANSWER: No.

EXPLANATION: The company of men who did the translating of the Authorized Version was made up of Bible-believing men from both the Anglican and Puritan churches. Their character and qualifications have been attested earlier.

Such a statement as, “The King James translators were nothing but a bunch of Episcopalian baby sprinklers, ” is one of those statements which is sadly not based on fact nor conviction. It is made with the hope of character assassination and an ultimate hope of overthrowing the authority of the King James Bible in the minds of believers.

It might be beneficial at this point to note what the King James translators were NOT.

They were not adulterers, as David. Nor were they murderers as Moses and David. Nor had any of them sacrificed any of their children to Chemosh or Molech as Solomon had in I Kings 11. Nor had they vehemently denied the Lord as Peter.

These shortcomings are not pointed out to bring disrespect on any of the writers of scripture, but are noted so that we should be a little more gracious in our description of the men whom God has chosen to use.
