Royal Deceptions: Exposing the KING JAMES ONLY Conspiracies Against God's Word - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

On October 26th, 1605, members of the House of Lords were alerted to a potential attack on Parliament that was to take place on November 5th. Royal authorities made a search of the basement under the House of Commons and discovered a man named Guy Fawkes guarding a massive store of gunpowder that could reduce the building to rubble. A conspiracy was quickly uncovered involving a dozen more men. Their plan was to blow up Parliament, including King James, and install his Catholic daughter in his place as queen. British subjects still remember this act of treason on Guy Fawkes Day every November 5th.During the same time at various locations in London, another group of men were involved in unwittingly forming a different conspiracy of sorts. Just a year or so before the plot to blow up Parliament was conceived, King James had commissioned a company of scholars to work on the translation of a new English Bible. Their work would give the world one of the greatest literary achievements in English history, the King James Bible. Unknown to them, however, future Christians would elevate those translators to near apostolic inspiration, insisting that their translation is the only reliable Bible the church is to use. All other subsequent English translations are corrupted by heretics. Appealing to conspiracy theories, historical revisionism, and a host of other bizarre and irrational arguments, that group has become known as King James Onlyists. While the advocates remain largely on the fringe of evangelical circles, many of them are loud and articulate spokesmen for their convictions. Additionally, the apologetics they put forth are compelling to many leaving untaught Christians confused and in doubt regarding the integrity of the Bible they hold in their hands. Royal Deceptions evaluates the key arguments used for defending King James Onlyism, and demonstrates how they are built upon fanciful conspiracies, rather than what Scripture teaches us about God's Word.
