If a person or a entire culture is not exposed to the bible KJV are they given a second chance when they die?

Question

I prefer a biblical answer if someone really knows, I am a baptist. So really I would like a baptist/christian to answer this not some other religion that is false.

Answer 1

Are you saying: The King James Bible is God sent, that it is the only Bible that will lead you to salvation?

One of the major reasons the Authorized Version is so widely accepted is its kingly authority. There seems little doubt that, had not a king authorized this version, it would not today be venerated as though it had come direct from God.

today no one reads the King James Version in its original form. Explaining why this is so the book The Bible in Its Ancient and English Versions says: “Almost every edition, from the very beginning, introduced corrections and unauthorized changes and additions, often adding new errors in the process. The edition of 1613 shows over three hundred differences from 1611, It was in the eighteenth century, however, that the main changes were made, The marginal references were checked and verified, over 30,000 new marginal references were added, the chapter summaries and running headnotes were thoroughly revised, the punctuation was altered and made uniform in accordance with modern practice, textual errors were removed, the use of capitals was considerably modified and reduced, and a thorough revision made in the form of certain kinds of words.”

So many changes have been made, many of them in the readings of passages, that the Committee on Versions (1851-56) of the American Bible Society found 24,000 variations in six different editions of the King James Version!

Do these countless persons who use the King James Version know why, despite objections from churchmen, modern translations keep rolling off the presses? Do they know why the King James Version itself was once opposed by the people? Do they know why, despite vigorous protest and opposition, the King James Version entered into the very blood and marrow of English thought and speech? Do they know what illuminating document is probably missing from their own copies? In short, do they really know the King James Version?

The translators, not unaware that people preferred to keep what had grown familiar, knew that their work had unleashed a storm. They tried to calm the people down. They wrote a “Preface of the Translators” to explain why the King James Version was made. This preface is called by the Encyclopedia Americana “a most illuminating preface describing the aims of the translators which unhappily is omitted from the usual printings of the Bible.” Thus most Authorized Versions today, though they contain a lengthy dedication to King James, omit the preface. Its presence would clear up many misunderstandings about the purpose of the revision. The reader would learn that strong opposition was expected.

The reader would learn that the King James Version was a revision of earlier works made with a modest hope of improvement and no thought of finality, In time the clamor died down, and the King James Version prevailed over the Geneva Bible. For more than two and a half centuries no other so-called authorized translation of the Bible into English was made. Little wonder that many people began to feel that the King James Bible was the only true Bible. Like many people who once objected to any change in the Geneva Bible, many persons today object to any change in the King James Bible. They oppose modern translations perhaps as vigorously as the King James Version itself was once opposed.

today no one reads the King James Version in its original form. Explaining why this is so the book The Bible in Its Ancient and English Versions says: “Almost every edition, from the very beginning, introduced corrections and unauthorized changes and additions, often adding new errors in the process. The edition of 1613 shows over three hundred differences from 1611, It was in the eighteenth century, however, that the main changes were made, The marginal references were checked and verified, over 30,000 new marginal references were added, the chapter summaries and running headnotes were thoroughly revised, the punctuation was altered and made uniform in accordance with modern practice, textual errors were removed, the use of capitals was considerably modified and reduced, and a thorough revision made in the form of certain kinds of words.”

What, then, of the objections raised by persons who say they do not want the King James Bible changed? Since the King James Version has already been changed, they lie on a crumbled foundation. If these persons do not want it changed, then why do they use, instead of a copy of an edition of 1611, an edition that has been changed?

They appreciate, perhaps unknowingly, the improvements the later editions have made. They do not like the odd spelling and punctuation of the 1611 edition; they do not want to read “fet” for “fetched,” “sith” for “since” or “moe” for “more,” as the edition of 1611 had it. Thus improvement, when needed, is appreciated, even by those who say they object to any changing of the King James translation.

Answer 2

I am a King James only Baptist however, If it's other versions out there that says God,Jesus and the important parts of the Bibles then I don't see why not. I am assuming that there are King James people out there that is giving the Word of God.

Also Baptists are not part of a religion

Answer 3

Why it has to be KJV bible? Well to answer your question basing on this verses:
Romans 1:19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
So, no.=)

Answer 4

Well I am a christian and not of your belief but here goes, try praying about this. And when you feel the confirmation in your heart from the Holy Ghost you will know those who never had the bible to learn the ways of the lord will have the opportunity to learn them after they die. Also the the lord will provide a way for them to except earthly ordnance's like baptism while waiting upon our Resurrection and Judgment from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Answer 5

That's why the Bible says (can't remember where it's located) that he's giving us time to get right before he returns. It is our job to preach the gospel to all men. The Bible commands us to go into every mans world, to go to the uttermost bounds of the earth. It is our role to make sure that all hear the gospel of Christ. I believe that in the last days, at least all will hear of the Christ. But i truly believe in my heart that God is not going to cast judgement on someone (or a group of people or culture) and send them to hell if they did not truly or genuinally know of his love and his son. I believe God may give them a chance (this is just my opinion, it's not factual.) But like I said it's our responsiblity to be missionaries (whether you are actually called to go over seas or if it's just right in your neighborhood) and do our role in trully fulling the Great Commission so no soul is left behind because they didn't know.

Answer 6

in case you had asked me this even perchance purely a 365 days and a million/2 in the past i might in all threat say no. although for the reason that commencing my relationship with God and discovering approximately him. i won't be in a position to help yet think of of each and every of the "2nd opportunities" he has given me... each and every of the cases i understand I even have permit him down, shamed him, or harm him in some way yet he's often forgiving and continuously keen to grant me yet another threat. Then how might desire to I no longer likely do the comparable myself to others?? i admire the story of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18:23 anybody might desire to examine it out in the event that they have not already

Answer 7

The Baptist religon is false, so that part of your question is absurd.

(The Baptists preach Spontaneous Salvation, and you can still sin; and Satan is chortling with glee.)

Answer 8

I don't believe it has to be the KJV. The disciples had the Word of God they carried with in them. I can't say what will happen for those who haven't heard other than my understanding is everyone will have the opportunity and had the Word of God shared with them before Jesus returns.
What I do know for fact is we will be judged for what we did or did not do with the great commission given to us with the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless you.<><

Answer 9

Read Mark 13... Jesus will not return until the gospel is preached to all nations... he will not return until all have heard; for then all men can be held accountable.

Answer 10

It is God's will that non should perish but that all should live. So that He will on that last day offer salvation. But many will still deny Him.
