Sean called me a reprobate in a KJV Onlyist discussion thread.

So, he is looking for ammunition against those who disagree with his positions.

In such a context, the word "nazi" would first, not refer to Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, and second, would mean someone who was resolute, even severe in how they approach and handle and view and feel about a particular subject.

So, the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld (Jews making jokes about nazis???) is resolute, even severe in how he runs his soup shop, and if you don't do exactly as he demands, he yells "No soup for you!" and kicks you out.

A grammar nazi is someone who won't accept that typos happen, or that not everyone who speaks and uses the English language is familiar enough with its grammatical rules so as to make occasional, or ever continual, errors. So, the grammar nazi calls people out over things like writing "there" instead of "their", or "to" instead of "too", or forgetting their Oxford comma, or whatever.

No genocide to speak of.

So what might a KJV nazi be? Someone who doesn't accept any other Bible translation in English as legit, you constantly gets into fights and debates with anyone else who dares disagree with the KJV Only position, or someone who demands that anyone who attends their Bible studies has to use the KJV Only, or they aren't welcome. So, then, it's someone who is overly touchy and combative about their subject, that is, that the KJV is God's inspired Word as is, and ought not to be added to or subtracted from, ought not to have its words redefined, ought not to be modernized, ought not to be passed through a concordance, etc. and etc.

Doesn't that describe you and your view of the KJV? At least a little?

So, is this an insult, or a badge of honor? You are as hardcore in your feelings about the KJV as perhaps actual nazis were or are, say, about their Fuhrer. This speaks of tenacity and grit, a determination to stick to their fundamentals no matter what.

Now, this can be a complement, but it can also be a detriment, because sometimes through pride or vanity, people stick this hard to their guns, even when they are wrong, because they won't admit their error.

And that, too, can be like a nazi.

So, no one's getting a special pass to be rude or hurtful. Having interacted with Brother Benincasa, I know you don't have to take his comment so literally.

But, if you are personally offended, follow the Matthew 18 protocol and stop airing the grievance in front of the world to see.
