Maybe my contact with this has been limited, but all the KJVONLYists I've ever met are from Baptist or Baptistic churches ("Baptistic" meaning they may not use the particular word "Baptist" to identify themselves, but - when their beliefs are read/heard - they may as well use the word.)
My question is - Why? Why the Baptists, or those with Baptistic leanings? I find it to be a curious and even puzzling thing.
Baptists are typically Bible believers. Most of main stream Christian denominations to day are from the Reformed persuasions and are Protestants. There are many similarities with the mother church, the Roman church, in all these denominations, not the least of which is the idea that there are powers and forces with more authority than the word of God. Remember, the Pope speaks ex cathedral and over rules the scriptures and even God himself.
Really, when you think about it, the nuts did not fall far from the tree. These fellows push scholarship and present themselves as the smartest guys in the room. But we are looking at the end of the age, the harvest. We are told these tares are going to be bundled up to be burned after the wheat is gathered into the barns. The bundles are these denominations, cults, para-church groups, religious groups. The burning is the great tribulation where all false religions and their religious books they have created will be destroyed never to be heard from again. Sadly, many Baptists have followed their pernicious ways and will join them in the great apostasy. There are Baptists who post here that are worse than most of the Protestants. They don't believe anything, they just have an opinion.
This age began with an empty field that the Lord began to sow seed in. The part of the field that produced was the one the devil sowed his tare in. Now, they are growing together and the tares are choking out the wheat. Harvest time is when the Lord will separate them. Well, you can read this whole growing season, beginning to end, in Matt 13 and get a flair for it in the 7 parables that explain it.
24 ¶ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
The good seed sown in the field is not the word like in the first parable but those who believed the word. The field is the world.
The tares are those who are deceived by the devil and belong to him. The devil knows what he is doing but it is doubtful his tares always knows. They are deceived many times.
The tares will not be burned until the reapers, the angels, have gathered the wheat into the barn, heaven. This is the translation of the church of Jesus Christ. After that the tribulation Day of the Lord, intense heat that will burn stuff up.
These guys here who teach that God is nonchalant when it comes to his glorious word aand has no interest in it's purity and they can handle it any way and as often as they want are tares. They are sure to feel the heat.
