KJV-Only Controversy - Chapter 2 (after a 7 week layover)

Ok…my computer is running slow and so is my brain. I reread Chapter 2 and it was listening to Charlie Brown’s teacher.

However…Chapter 2 is…”If It Ain’t Broke…” (I’m editing and publishing as I go…there’s a thunderstorm rolling in and I don’t want to lose my work if the lights go out!)
White points out that there are two extremes in Christianity -

• “change for the sake of change” - if it’s old it can’t be good.
• “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” - if it’s new it can’t be good.

There’s a middle road that chooses to examine things for what they are - not because they’re old or new. Tradition is not Scripture; we are not to seek “new truths” that take us beyond Scripture, which is sufficient. But we are not to be so attached to traditions, to “we’ve always done it this way” that we are unwilling to change/improve/grow.

It does seem that over the last few years (relatively speaking) that there have been perhaps too many translations made available.
