But how do you *know* that? 🤣
Attacking a means of argumentation is a cheap way of avoiding actually considering the argument.
My point stands that KJVOnlyism is a subset of Sola Scriptura, which is itself untenable, as I have shown.
Modern scriptural scholarship, regardless of specific faith affiliation, is infiltrated by unfaithful scholars. This is why it is important to be familiar with older scholarship when studying.
The Latin never changes, and if I'm not mistaken that full translation predates the Canon. That is the translation of texts that were decided, promulgated, and ratified. Original manuscripts of Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew are not always available, so when they aren't we always have the Latin.
It is also important to point out that "biblical study" is not Christianity. Having better and more faithful translations is good but not the point of the Faith. Study can enhance one's faith, but it ought not be the faith to study (see 1 Cor 13). The point of the Faith is to become Christ-like, or little Christs as "Christian" suggests. We follow His lead, taking up our cross, etc. We follow His commands: love God, love neighbor, baptize all the nations, etc. We receive His offering of His Body and Blood. This is Christianity. This is The Way.
