Matthew 5:22 should be a reason to stick to the KJV. Read it, then read a "new" translation. See who is saved and who is lost.

Personal opinion does not mean facts.

Green, you've never addressed why "truth" as Ellen White uses it in relation to the Waldenses means "the KJV".


In speaking of the "United Brethren" who were the remainders to the truth from the Bohemian Hussites who did not compromise with Rome, she says:
Do you intend this to mean that the Bohemians had the KJV and were glad to find others, including the Waldenses, who also had the KJV?

So you didn't read it in more translations. that isn't my problem. All I can say is 'Thank God" for the KJV. Otherwise, NO one would make it to Heaven.

You couold have just agreed

That, as opposed to opinion, carries weight. However, I find the arguments of Dean Burgon for the Textus Receptus to be somewhat compelling.

The Waldensian Bible was translated into many different languages, not only the King James Version in English.

If Ellen White stated that they only used the Textus Receptus, then I missed it. Where was that?
