Warning!!!!
I went to Greenville, SC to a Bible Conference to hear Dr. D.A. Waite on 9-26-09 at Wayside Baptist Church. During question and answer time I asked Pastor Waite if he believed that the King James Bible was inspired, and he said, "The word inspire is not found in the Bible. No! I don't believe the KJV is inspired."
A Dr. H.D. Williams was there as well to assist Pastor Waite. After this particular question time was over I asked Dr. Williams the same question. He reaffirmed what Pastor Waite had said. He said that the word "interpretation" found in 2 Peter 1:20 ("Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation") was translated in the Greek to mean translations. (Which is incorrect. A translation or translate is not the same thing as interpretation.) He said, "All copies of the originals are inspired but not translations according to this verse." I then asked him, "so the KJV according to you has errors", he said, "Certainly, it is not inerrant."
In several emails that I have had with Brother Waite he said that the KJB was not inspired, infallible or inerrant. I quote:
"1. Inerrant--I leave this strong 100% term for God alone and anything He says or writes. The Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Words underlying the KJB are "inerrant."
2. Infallible--I also leave this strong 100% term for God alone and anything He says or writes. The Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Words underlying the KJB are "infallible."
Mr. Waite said that only the original words in the original languages are inerrant, and infallible, not the KJB. There is a difference. Even Bruce M., Westcott, Hort, James White, Catholics, JW's, believe what Brother Waite is saying above. Brother Waite, Mr. Williams, or their ministries will not use the words inerrant, infallible, and inspired when speaking of the KJB, only the originals which no one has. I challenge you to find it. They openly say this in their teachings and video's, if you will just listen.
I will say that I disagree with Brother Waite on this issue, but I don't think he is going to hell. I believe that the work he is doing is great as well as his ministry.
