Dear Ron,
I just noticed in John Grant's article on Egypt in page 15 of Jan 2011 BM that he states that the Old Kingdom (which followed the Early DYnastic period) started in BC 2700.
That places it a few centuries before the Flood (following Ussher or other conservative bible-believing chronologists).
So how did he arrive at that?
Just wondering.
best wishes

Dear S—
I suspect that JG has a copy of the rationalistic and evolutionary Chronological Study Bible, where we read on p.2,  "Later pharaohs of the
Old Kingdom, beginning about 2700 .C., became famous for their pyramids."
It is a great tragedy that men who purport to be leaders and teachers of God's people draw so freely from the wells of infidelity. I don't suppose more than one or two readers of BM were aware of this piece of nonsense. I must confess I hadn't bothered to read it. Thank you for alerting me.  
kind regards,
Ron 


(Answers in Genesis places the Flood in the year 2304 B.C. There is little spiritual value in the 'Egypt' article in BM )

King James Bible Trust. Beware

This year marks the 400th anniversary of the Authorized Version of the Holy Bible. The anniversary is being celebrated by various organisations. One we need to take note of with much caution is the King James Bible Trust.

This trust has Prince Charles as its patron. We need hardly make further comment! Charles is pagan in outlook and is a notorious adulterer. He has no love for the Scriptures. The vice patron is Richard Chartres, Bishop of London.

The trustees include several active members of Bible Society, an organisation hostile to the Authorized Bible and its underlying text.

The aims of the King James Bible Trust are;

  1. To promote the cultural importance of the KJB.
  2. To understand the politics of the KJB
  3. To illustrate Christianity’s hand in developing our society.

Events will be taking place at various locations during the year.

Richard Dawkins, Andrew Motion, and Patricia Routledge will be reading from the KJB on You Tube.

The aims of KJBT reveal its rejection of any spiritual significance or value to the Bible. It’s supernatural origin is treated with scorn. The “old” Bible is a glorious museum piece. Its worth is solely in its literary value, but it can be used now for political and social gain.

That Dawkins is giving his support to this endeavour is highly significant. He is the nation’s leading God-hater.

A 1611 AD Authorized Bible is being republished to celebrate the 400th anniversary. It is being reprinted “with all its original errors”. We think one purpose behind this is to cause doubt in the minds of present day Bible believers.

There were indeed many typological errors in the first edition. These were corrected and later many spellings were corrected and the use of u for v, and f for s in printing were changed.

There was never anything wrong with the text or its translation.

Go to You Tube and watch David Cloud on the History of the King James Bible if you want a reliable account.
