A Grievous Wolf - Time for Truth

Further testimony to the infallibility, inerrancy and indeed inspiration of the 1611 Holy Bible may be
found in this extract from www.timefortruth.co.uk/content/pages/documents/1309647082.pdf Peter

The words of evangelist Billy Sunday ring down the decades. See “O Biblios” The Book by Alan
O’Reilly, Covenant Publishers, 2001, p 102.

“When the Bible (AV1611) says one thing and scholarship says another, scholarship can go plumb to
the Devil!”
Despite his highly unorthodox attitude and ‘offensive’ manner, “Billy Sunday saw over 1,000,000 men
and women “hit the sawdust trail” in open profession of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ”, according to
the paper How Great Soul winners Were Endued with Power, by Dr Rev Ian Paisley...
Yet another distinguished witness, William Lyon Phelps, Lampson Professor of English Literature at
Yale University, said this. See Human Nature in the Bible by William Lyon Phelps, 1922, Introduction.
“We Anglo-Saxons have a better Bible than the French or Germans or the Italians or the Spanish; our
English translation is even better than the original Hebrew and Greek. There is only one way to explain
this; I have no theory to account for the so-called “inspiration of the Bible,” but I am confident
that the Authorized Version was inspired.
“Now as the English-speaking people have the best Bible in the world, and as it is the most beautiful
monument ever erected with the English alphabet, we ought to make the most of it, for it is an incomparably
rich inheritance, free to all who can read. This means that we ought invariably in the church and
on public occasions to use the Authorized Version; all others are inferior. And, except for special purposes,
it should be used exclusively in private reading. Why make constant companions of the second
best, when the best is available?”
Though not a bible believer himself, journalist and essayist H. L. Mencken, 1880-1956, is said to be
“regarded as one of the most influential American writers and prose stylists of the first half of the 20th
century.” See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._L._Mencken.
He said this about the 1611 Authorized Holy Bible.
“It is the most beautiful of all the translations of the Bible; indeed, it is probably the most beautiful
piece of writing in all the literature. Many attempts have been made to purge it of its errors and obscurities…many
learned but misguided men have sought to produce translations that should be mathematically
accurate, and in the plain speech of everyday. But the Authorized Version has never yielded to
any of them, for it is palpably and overwhelmingly better than they are…”
See The Men Behind the King James Version by Gustavus S. Paine, Baker Book House, 1977, p viii.
Somehow, God has never honoured any attempts “to purge it of its errors and obscurities” in four centuries.
How does Mr Amué explain this testimony of history?
“In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established” 2 Corinthians 13:1b.
Eight witnesses in favour of the inerrancy, infallibility and inspiration of the 1611 Holy Bible have been
cited above, fourfold the minimum number. Grievous Wolf can no more explain that testimony of history
in favour of the inerrancy, infallibility and inspiration of the 1611 Holy Bible than the poor benighted
Mr Amué could.
Note this statement from p 34 of “O Biblios” – The Book by this writer with respect to the underhanded
method that Grievous Wolf has used to attack the 1611 Holy Bible in Questions 61, 62. The statement
includes an illusion to R. A. Torrey.

A variation on this criticism [to the effect that any Bible translation (especially the AV1611) is imperfect
because men are imperfect and all Bible translators are men, i.e. the satanic syllogism] is that
‘good, godly men corrected the AV1611 on occasion, so it must need correcting’. The simple answer is
