Do You Believe This Book?

Bob Allen of Ethics Daily discovers some interesting things about the young guy

who asked the Republican candidates if they believed every word of the King 
James Version of the Bible.  

It is hard to imagine that ideas like this are still floating around about the 
King James Version of the Bible, but here they are:

Huckabee's answer also didn't satisfy Dearing, who appears in other videos on a

religious version of YouTube advocating use of only the King James Version of 
the Bible.

"I think Mike Huckabee is a typical liberal pastor, because I heard in a 
previous debate that he didn't think it matters whether or not you believe the 
creation in Genesis was six literal days," Dearing told the Dallas newspaper. 

Dearing's user profile at GodTube.com describes him as a 24-year-old male from 
Grand Prairie, Texas, who signed up for the site 38 days ago.

"I was saved from eternity in a literal fiery hell in 2003 by the only means 
possible--grace through faith in the blood atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ 
on the cross," Dearing says in a paragraph "about me."

"He died as a sacrifice to pay for my sins and then rose from the dead," the 
profile continues. "Since then, I've grown a lot spiritually, thanks to the 
influence of the infallible word of God, which today is found in the Authorized

(King James) Bible."

"The King James Version is not just a translation of the word of God," Dearing 
says in one of his videos. "It is literally the supernatural word of God, just 
as much as the original autographs were the word of God." 

Modern Bible translations like the Revised Standard Version, New American 
Standard Version and Southern Baptist Convention-produced Holman Christian 
Standard Version, he says in another video, are "fake Bibles" that "contain 
lies." 

Presumptions underlying modern translations, like the Bible was without error 
in original texts called autographs but not in the later translation of the 
KJV, Dearing reasons, would mean that God made the effort to reveal His word in

Scripture but not to preserve it.

Dearing says on his MySpace page that growing up in liberal churches, he didn't

even know he wasn't saved.

"The main reason I'm saved now is what I learned from Bible-believers showing 
me the differences between the Bible versions," he said. "You can't get saved 
until you understand the gospel, and I didn't understand the gospel until I 
read the King James verses."
