What Is King James ‘Onlyism’?

The phrase ‘King James Onlyism’ describes the heartfelt conviction of multitudes of Bible-believing Christians. Those who believe that God has preserved his words in English where anyone on the face of the earth can find them and read them maintain that the King James Version—the Authorized Version—is where they are preserved.

The King James Bible

The phrase “King James Onlyism” describes the heartfelt conviction of multitudes of Bible-believing Christians. Those who believe that God has preserved his words in English where anyone on the face of the earth can find them and read them maintain that the King James Version—the Authorized Version—is where they are preserved. But this phrase also serves as a scornful epithet. Those who believe that God has not preserved his words in English where anyone on the face of the earth can find them and read them maintain that somewhere spread among two hundred different modern English translations is where they might be found, but that one must know Greek and Hebrew or have the help of scholars to know where they are and what they say.

King James Onlyism

There are two ways in which advocates of modern Bible versions use the term “King James Onlyism” as a term of derision: guilt by association and appealing to the King James translators. The first way is by associating the origin of or belief in the “King James Only” position with persons that some Christians consider to be unscholarly, out of the mainstream, or unorthodox. The second way is by saying that since the King James translators were not “King James Only,” then it obviously is not a position that a Christian should take.

It is a little late to use the guilt by association argument, given that the Authorized Version was the only version read for three centuries. And no Bible-believing Christian who knows anything about English Bible history teaches that the King James translators were “King James Only.” What, then, is the origin of “King James Onlyism”? Was it invented by some over-zealous modern defender of the Authorized Version? Hardly, for the origin goes back, not to the beginning of the “King James Only” movement in the twentieth century, but four hundred years earlier to King James (1566- 1625) himself.

To begin with, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth (reigned 1558-1603) there was a “Draft for an Act of Parliament for a New Version of the Bible” that begins: “An act for the reducinge of diversities of Bibles now extant in the Englishe tongue to one setled vulgar translated from the original.” Queen Elizabeth died in 1603 and King James VI of Scotland was crowned King James I of England. It was soon after, at the Hampton Court Conference in January of 1604, that the idea for the Authorized Version was born. On the second day of the conference, the Puritan, Dr. John Rainolds (1549-1607), proposed that a new translation of the Bible be undertaken. According to the “official” account by William Barlow (d. 1613), the dean of Chester, who was at the conference: “After that he [Rainolds] moved his majesty that there might be a new translation of the Bible, because those which were allowed in the reign of king Henry the Eight and Edward the Sixt were corrupt and not answerable to the truth of the original.” The king then “wished that some special paines should be taken in that behalf for one uniform translation, (professing that he could never yet see a Bible well translated in English, but the worst of all his majesty thought the Geneva to be,) and this to be done by the best learned in both the universities; after them to be reviewed by the bishops, and the chief learned of the church; from them to be presented to the privy councel; and lastly, to be ratified by his royal authority. And so this whole church to be bound unto it, and none other.”

Tobie Matthew (1546-1628), the bishop of Durham, wrote a letter while he was in attendance at the Hampton Court Conference to the archbishop of York in which he says that the Puritans insisted on “one only translation of the Bible to be authentical, and read in the church.” In a letter written by the king’s Scottish chaplain, Patrick Galloway (1551-1626), who was also at the Hampton Court Conference, to the presbytery of Edinburgh, written less than a month after the conference, there appears “A note of such things as shall be reformed.” Paragraph two, under the heading “OF DOCTRINE,” reads: “That a translation be made of the whole Bible, as consonant as can be to the original Hebrew and Greek; and this to be set out and printed without any marginal notes, and only to be used in all churches of England in time of divine service.”

In one of the four anonymous accounts of the Hampton Court Conference, supposedly favoring the Puritans, there is mention of the incident when Dr. Rainolds suggested the idea of a new translation to the king: “Secondly, amongst those things which concern purity of doctrine, he wished that the translation might be reformed, and one to stand as warranted for all. . . . Then the King freely gave assent that there should be one translation of the Bible consonant to the original Greek and Hebrew and set forth without note, for that some of them enforce a sense further than the text will bear.” In “A Note of Such Things as Shall be Reformed in the Church,” written soon after the Hampton Court Conference (and thought to be written by the bishop of London, Richard Bancroft [1544-1610]), fifteen items are listed. Number ten concerns the proposed new Bible: “One uniform translation of the Bible to be made, and only to be used in all the churches of England.”

Then, in a list of principal matters to be considered, which was also drawn up soon after the conference, the fourth reads: “That care be taken, that one uniform translation of the Bible be printed, and read in the church: and that without any notes.” After the Authorized Version was published in 1611, there were some things written by the translators that relate to the origin of “King James Onlyism.” In the “Epistle Dedicatorie” to the Authorized Version, the translators recounted the king’s actions at the Hampton Court Conference:

There are infinite arguments of this right Christian and Religious affection in Your MAIESTIE; but none is more forcible to declare it to others, then the vehement and perpetuated desire of the accomplishing and publishing of this Worke, which now with all humilitie we present unto Your MAIESTIE. For when Your Highnesse had once out of deepe judgment apprehended, how convenient it was, That, out of the Originall sacred tongues, together with comparing of the labours, both in our owne and other forreigne Languages, of many worthy men who went before us, there should be one more exact Translation of the holy Scriptures into the English tongue.

In the translators’ preface (“The Translators to the Reader”) they also stated:

Truly (good Christian Reader) we never thought from the beginning, that we should need to make a new Translation, nor yet to make of a bad one a good one, (for then the imputation of Sixtus had bin true in some sort, that our people had bene fed with gall of Dragons in stead of wine, with whey in stead of milke:) but to make a good one better, or out of many good ones, one principal good one, not justly to be excepted against, that hath bene our endeavour, that our marke.

After the publication of the Authorized Version, we can see references to it in the visitation articles issued by the bishops and others in the Church of England exercising ecclesiastical jurisdiction during the early Stuart Church. These references specify that it is the Authorized Version that is to be placed in the churches. The earliest such reference appears to be that found in the visitation articles of John King (1559-1621), who was bishop of London from 1611 to 1621. King refers in his 1612 visitation articles to “a large bible of the last edition.” Similar language can be found in many other sets of visitation articles, including the 1614 articles of Henry Cotton (d. 1615), bishop of Salisbury (“a bible of the largest volume, and last translation”), the 1619 articles of John Overall (1559-1619), bishop of Norwich (“the whole bible of the largest volume, and of the last translation”), the 1622 articles of William Laud (1573-1645), bishop of St. David’s (“the whole bible of the largest volume and latest edition”), and the 1622 articles of the aforementioned translator of the Authorized Version, Miles Smith, bishop of Gloucester (“the whole bible in English, of the largest volume and new translation lately set forth by his maiesties authoritie”). We continue to see the same thing after the death of King James in 1625; for example, the 1628 articles of John Howson (1557-1632), bishop of Oxford (“a bible of the largest volume and latest edition”), the 1635 articles of Matthew Wren (1585-1667), bishop of Hereford (“the whole bible in the largest volume of the last translation”), and the 1637 and 1640 articles of Robert Skinner (1590-1670), bishop of Bristol (“the bible of the new translation, lately set forth by the kings authority”).

The evidence is overwhelming that the origin of ‘King James Onlyism’ is therefore not some over-zealous modern defender of the Authorized Version, it is King James himself.

Women In The Ministry: Paul’s Doctrinal Order Shows Faithful Women Labouring In The Gospel Without Taking The Offices God Gave To Men

Right now, debates are raging all across the professing Church as to what is, and is not, the role of women in the Church of Jesus Christ. Many of these heated discussions are really just people responding primarily from their feelings and prejudices rather than from the revealed word of God. Let the church honour faithful women without altering church office. Let men stop hiding from responsibility and qualify themselves for leadership. Let deacons be what Paul said they must be. Let women serve where God has placed them with joy, strength, and reward. And let the whole church bow to the final authority of the written word of God. Amen? My Sunday Servuce message is entitled “Women In The Ministry”, the first in a new series we will explore Sunday mornings and in the Sunday night Radio Bible Study as well.

“And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.” Philippians 4:3 (KJB)

YOU ARE INVITED: Come and be a part of our live and in-person Sunday Service starting at 11:00AM at the Bible Believers Church at the Bookstore in Palatka, Florida.

SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: Women In The Ministry, Part 1

Women In The Ministry, Part 1

Main Text

“And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.” Philippians 4:3 (KJB)

The New Testament honors faithful women in ministry, but it does not establish women as ordained deacons in the church. Paul’s order is clear: women may serve, labour, help, teach in proper order, support the gospel, and be highly commended by the apostle, but the official church offices of bishop and deacon are given with male qualifications.

Application

A Bible-believing church must never despise the labour of godly women in the gospel ministry, but neither may it rewrite Paul’s doctrine to satisfy modern confusion. The answer is not to silence faithful women from all service, and it is not to place them into offices God did not give them. The answer is to let every member of the body serve according to the order of the Head, the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:22-27 (KJB)

I. Paul Gives The Office Of Deacon To Qualified Men

“Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.” 1 Timothy 3:12 (KJB)

Paul does not leave the office of deacon undefined. He gives qualifications, and those qualifications include being “the husbands of one wife” and ruling “their children and their own houses well.” That language is not accidental, cultural, or optional. It places the office of deacon in the same masculine household order as the office of bishop. The deacon is not merely someone who helps around the church; he is a qualified man entrusted with recognized service under the authority and order of the local assembly.

The modern church often tries to separate service from Scripture, as though usefulness alone qualifies someone for office. But Paul never does that. A man may be willing, talented, energetic, and popular, and still not be qualified. Likewise, a woman may be faithful, godly, fruitful, and deeply useful, and still not be given the office of deacon. The issue is not value, the issue is order.

II. Phebe Was A Servant, Not An Ordained Female Deacon

“I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:” Romans 16:1 (KJB) – read all of the chapter.

Phebe is one of the strongest examples of a faithful woman in Paul’s ministry circle. Paul commends her by name. She was a servant of the church at Cenchrea, and that is a high commendation. She was trusted, useful, faithful, and worthy of the church’s help and reception.

But the King James Bible does not call Phebe a deacon. It calls her “a servant of the church.” That matters because words matter. God preserved His words, not His “message” The word may be connected to service, but Paul’s doctrinal qualifications for the office are not found in Romans 16; they are found in 1 Timothy 3. Romans 16 shows her faithful service. It does not install her into ordained church office.

The Bible believer should be careful here. We should not downgrade Phebe into nothing, and we should not promote her into something the Scripture does not say. She was a servant, a succourer, and a faithful helper in the ministry. A “succourer “ is one that, according to Webster’s 1828, is one that provides relief and help, and a deliverer. That is honourable enough without changing the Bible.

Look at this amazing honour that Jesus gave to a woman in the “gospel ministry” that He gave to none of the apostles.

“And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.” Mark 14:6-9 (KJB)

III. The Wives Of Deacons Must Also Be Spiritually Qualified

“Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.” 1 Timothy 3:11 (KJB)

Paul inserts this verse right in the middle of the deacon qualifications because the home life of a deacon matters. His wife is not irrelevant to his ministry. She must be grave, not a slanderer, sober, and faithful in all things. Why? Because the deacon’s service touches the church, the saints, the home, the poor, the widows, and the practical burdens of ministry.

Some try to make this verse mean “women deacons,” but the King James Bible gives the plain reading: “their wives.” The context then continues immediately with the deacon being “the husband of one wife.” Paul is not creating a female office here. He is showing that the wife of a deacon must not undermine the ministry by gossip, instability, worldliness, or unfaithfulness. A man’s public ministry can be damaged by disorder in his private house. Paul’s church order does not merely examine a man’s platform; it examines his household.

IV. Women Laboured Mightily In The Gospel Without Taking Church Office

“And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.” Philippians 4:3 (KJB)

Paul had no problem commending women who laboured in the gospel. Euodias and Syntyche laboured with Paul. Phebe served the church. Priscilla helped in the work with Aquila. Mary bestowed much labour. Tryphena and Tryphosa laboured in the Lord. Persis laboured much in the Lord.

That should end the false charge that biblical church order makes women useless. It does not. Godly women in the New Testament were active, valuable, remembered, and commended. They served the saints, helped gospel workers, hosted churches, taught younger women, assisted in private instruction in proper order, and bore burdens in the ministry. But Paul’s commendation of their labour never cancels Paul’s doctrine of church office. Labour is not the same as headship. Help is not the same as oversight. Service is not the same as ordained authority. The church gets into trouble when it confuses those categories.

V. Paul’s Restriction Is Against Authority Over Men, Not Against All Ministry

“But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.” 1 Timothy 2:12 (KJB)

This is the verse the modern church does not want, but it is still in the Bible. Paul does not forbid women from serving the Lord. He does not forbid them from prayer, testimony, hospitality, discipleship, mercy, teaching younger women, or helping in gospel work. What he forbids is a woman teaching or usurping authority over the man in the assembly.

That means the issue is not whether women can minister. They can and they did. The issue is whether women may take the ruling, authoritative, doctrinal offices of the church. Paul’s answer is no.

The Bible’s order is not anti-woman. It is anti-confusion. It protects men from laziness, women from misplaced burdens, and the church from rebellion against the written word.

VI. God’s Order Protects The Church From Confusion

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJB)

“Let all things be done decently and in order.” 1 Corinthians 14:40 (KJB)

When Paul gives church order, he is not trying to suppress life in the body. He is trying to preserve peace, doctrine, authority, and edification. Confusion enters when the church starts measuring ministry by ability alone instead of obedience. A woman may be gifted, but giftedness is not the qualification for office. A man may be willing, but willingness is not the qualification either. God has an order.

A church that follows Paul’s doctrine will have men leading, women serving, saints edified, doctrine protected, and the gospel advanced. A church that rejects Paul’s doctrine may still have activity, but it will not have biblical order.

Closing Challenge

“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42 (KJB)

The question is not, “Can women be useful in the ministry?” The Bible answers that with a resounding yes. The question is not, “Did Paul value women who laboured in the gospel?” He absolutely did. In fact, I will go so far as to say without those women, Paul could never have gotten done all the things God used him to do. So the question is, “Did Paul establish female deacons as an ordained church office?” The answer from the King James Bible is no.

Let the church honour faithful women without altering church office. Let men stop hiding from responsibility and qualify themselves for leadership. Many churches are run by women because the men have abdicated their God-given positions. Let deacons be what Paul said they must be. Let women serve where God has placed them with joy, strength, and reward. And let the whole church bow to the final authority of the written word of God.

“Let all things be done decently and in order.” 1 Corinthians 14:40 (KJB)

The Bible position is balanced and plain: faithful women are servants in the work, but ordained deacons are qualified men. That is not tradition, or preferring men over women, or any of that nonsense. That is Paul’s doctrinal order for the church.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The UFC On The White House Lawn This Weekend Stunningly Brings Us The Ancient Roman Empire Roaring Back To Life

President Trump Hosting UFC On The White House Lawn Is A Stunning Symbol Of America’s Roman Spirit And The Coming Revived Roman Empire Of Daniel

Washington has always been draped in Rome. From the Senate to the Capitol, from the marble columns to the imperial domes, from the eagle imagery to the fasces displayed in Congress, America’s ruling class built its civic temple with Roman hands and Roman imagination. The United States presented itself as a republic, but it borrowed the language, architecture, symbolism, and ambition of the empire that came before it. Rome was never as far away from America as we were told. It was carved into the stone from the beginning. Now the symbolism has stepped out of the marble and onto the White House lawn.

“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” Revelation 17, 17,18 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Rome understood spectacle. Rome understood how to command the imagination of the people. The arena was never merely entertainment. It was power on display. It was the empire telling the masses who ruled, who conquered, who mattered, and who could be crushed. The Caesars knew that the people could be governed through bread, blood, theater, fear, glory, and distraction. The arena was Rome’s pulpit, and the empire preached itself through violence, triumph, and applause America learned the lesson well, very well. The White House, the palace of American executive power, becomes the stage. The fighters become the spectacle. The cameras become the amphitheater. The nation watches as combat entertainment is fused with politics, patriotism, celebrity, military pageantry, and national celebration. Just as it was in the days of Rome. This is not just another headline in a collapsing age. This is a prophetic snapshot of the Roman spirit of empire rising in the modern West. America is not named in Daniel as the final empire, but America has carried the Roman spirit across the modern world. It has exported Roman-style law, military order, global dominance, civic religion, political symbolism, mass entertainment, and imperial power under the banner of freedom and democracy. America calls itself a republic, but it increasingly behaves like an empire. That was Rome’s path as well. First the republic, then the strong men, then the spectacle, then the empire. And finally, the inevitable collapse of all of it. The White House lawn has become the arena, and that old Roman spirit is speaking once again. Here at our 250th anniversary, our republic is fading, the spectacle is rising, the Beast system is forming. And the final empire of Antichrist is preparing for its last act before the King of kings returns to break it in pieces and set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. Is America Mystery Babylon? That’s the question we will be looking to answer here on Day 2,279 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Spielberg Says ‘Disclosure Day’ Movie Takes The Position Of The Catholic Church To Prepare People To Receive Aliens

Spielberg’s New Aliens Film ‘Disclosure Day’ Shows How Hollywood, Rome And The Government Are Conditioning Mankind To Receive A Counterfeit Revelation

Now here’s a little wrinkle to the new Steven Spielberg ‘Disclosure Day’ movie that almost no one is talking about. Spielberg says the movie narrative takes the position of the Roman Catholic Church to prepare people to welcome UFOs and aliens into our global society. Remember that Vatican announcement some years back when Pope Francis said when aliens arrive, the Catholic Church will baptize them? Well, hello there! Steven Spielberg and the Vatican in an end times bed together, who knew? Now you know. You won’t hear this on any other Podcast, so buckle up.

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, back in 2014, Pope Francis stunningly said Rome would be open to baptizing Martians when they showed up. Now Steven Spielberg is rolling out a UFO disclosure film with a Roman Catholic nun character and theological questions about God, creation, and intelligent life beyond earth based on Roman Catholic doctrine and teachings. Hollywood and the Vatican are not accidentally walking down the same road — they are rehearsing the same end-times script. Amos asks “Can two walk together except they be agreed?” They cannot. This Friday, Steven Spielberg gives the world the gospel of the coming Antichrist as Rome gets ready to sprinkle the aliens upon their arrive. And this lost world, already primed by decades of UFO and extreterrestrial conditioning, will call it revelation while the Bible openly calls it deception, and warns us not to fall for it. Christian, you have no idea how deep this rabbit hole goes, but today, you’re going to find out!
