No part of 2Timothy instructs us to examine the Word
in our own language. That is a stipulation that you have fabricated and imputed into the
deepest recesses of your subconscious mind. That might explain why you continuously express so much
cognitive dissonance to any other ideas
which might threaten the
AV only theory.
Rightly dividing the Word of truth is parsing Biblical principles and applying them in life correctly. The heptameter establishes a link between
common principles in different areas of text. I've already demonstrated that, so I will not offer another example until you acknowledge my first set
of examples.
Again, Psalm 12:6-7 is NOT a promise to preserve the Word. The term for "Word" in Hebrew is
dabar. However, Psalm 12:6 uses
irmrath,
from
emer, which refers to a
promise,
decree, or
commandment. It simply is not the same...not that it would make a
difference to you, since you conveniently ignore anything that isn't the AV. You have to include verse 5 into the context. Anyone can tell you that
Psalm 12:5-7 is a promise to preserve the humble during generations of wickedness. The promise is made in verse 5, the veracity of God's promise is
established in verse 6, and the promise is then acknowledged by David (as a statement of faith) in verse 7. You are not applying 2Timothy 2:15 to
Psalm 12:5-7. You're taking passages out of context to hide a flaw in the AV translation. If you would just objectively look at the metering of Psalm
12, you would see that even the heptameter preserves the true context.
Count the syllables in 1Kings 19 yourself. I'm not going to put effort into presenting more evidence to you, when you can't even parse the syntax in
Psalm 12:5-7 correctly. For someone with your level of knowledge, this should not be open for debate.
