Download KJB Example versus Ensample

CLOUD’s Ensample or Example?
“Over the last few years I have become aware of a movement [!] among King James Bible defenders to exalt
17th-century British English to the level of divine holiness.
For example, the following changes are made in some editions of the KJV . . .
. . . ensample example . . .
I have been amazed to find articles warning about this type of change, with the claim that this is adding to or
diminishing from God’s Words. . . My friends, this is pure nutcase Ruckmanism/Riplingerism. It is nonsensical
and makes all King James Bible defenders look ridiculous. . . . The only difference between ‘ensample’ and
‘example’ is that one is 17th-century spelling and the other is 20th-century.” – David Cloud
“David Cloud likewise errs with his claims about spelling. For instance, "example" is NOT a "20th century" spelling
of the "17th-century" word "ensample." The King James Bible uses BOTH words . . . Obviously the King James
translators understood the words to be synonyms but NOT identical . . .” -- Daryl Coats, Missionary to Finland
I would like to build on Daryl Coat’s find/thought in that the King James translators were familiar with the spelling
of both words “ensample” and “example.” So, David Cloud is guilty of an error, straw man, sloppy research, and/or
perhaps getting his material from Bible Correctors. Webster’s 1828 lists “ensample” and example as different words . . .
The following passages illustrate how the KJB translators rendered some of the underlying Greek words (Strong’s), if
Strong’s definitions are correct. LOL!

As usual, those who want to fault and/or change the King James Bible and fault the King James Onlies are found
with egg on their faces. They also fall suspect to serious mental reservations in regard to the KJB.
