Do they believe that the table of contents is inspired?
A lot of KJV users don't realize that the "Apocrypha" was in the original 1611 KJV Bible.

I know!!! I believe just as much as protestants, that the Bible is the Word of God! But it didn't just fall out of the sky like that. God spoke it through the Church, canonized it through the Church, preserved it through the Church, and interprets it through the Church! Bull pucky! Everyone knows that God gave the divinely inspired table of contents to the translators of the only true bible -- the King James Version. I kid, I kid. ;D LOL! Hey, some people actually believe that God would annoint a Homosexual Pedophile like King James to "authorize" His word.

It's true, God uses sinners to get His work done.

It's true, God uses sinners to get His work done. But never an unrepentant sinner.

Most would not say such about a divinely inspired table of contents, but the KJV Only crowd would fall into that category. Many, many Christians have not really thought out how & why we have the books we have in the bible. It was an eye opener for me.

You don't know he didn't repent.
And I disagree, I definitly believe God uses all kinds of people both Saved and Lost to do what He wants. The Bible states that all rulers are in His power....and we know not all rulers are born-again Christians.

Many, many Christians have not really thought out how & why we have the books we have in the bible. It was an eye opener for me. Here's how it went. First, they had 73 books. Then, they took the 7 books out. Then, they put them back in, only this time, they said that all of a sudden, after 1000 years, these books were no longer divinely inspired by God. They "de-inspired" them. Also, they base their OT Canon on The Pharisees Canon (which didn't exist in Jesus' time) instead of on The Christian OT Canon (which is the one Jesus actually used). So, they reject the number of God (7) books in The Holy Bible, they reject the OT Canon that Jesus used as well as The Apostles, and, they reject the only Christian Church that existed for a millenia and a half before they were created in Europe. That's about right, right?

That's about right, right? Sounds about right! Not too mention that some protestants -- in their defense of their shortened OT -- will side with the same supposed Jewish council that likewise rejected the divinity of Jesus, the Gospels, etc.
