[Warning against "counterfeit" King James Bibles]
Now the very worst of this battle of o-u-r vs. o-r comes when dealing with the only begotten Son of God, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The modern day counterfeiters have changed Saviour to Savior. They have given us a six-letter Savior in place of a seven-letter Saviour. In Bible numerics seven is the number of completeness, purity, and spiritual perfection. On the other hand six is the number of man which is earthly not heavenly. Every one has heard of 666. It has a bad connotation and is not highly esteemed in Bible numerics.
The seven-letter Saviour is the only begotten Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. The six-letter Savior is the son of perdition, the anti christ. He wants to be like the most High (Isaiah 14:14,) but not in a good way, but in an evil way. He is not a follower. He's a counterfeiter. Therefore his final destination is the lake of fire. The new versions, along with the new age movement, and some of the King James Bible counterfeits are preparing the way for this six-letter so called Savior. That's the way he will spell his name, S-a-v-i-o-r not S-a-v-i-o-u-r. No thank you Satan. I'm sticking with the seven-letter Saviour as portrayed in the old black Book that I inherited from my forefathers.

If you are that enamored, er, enamoured with British-Canadian-Aussie spellings, you could move to Centre Street in Jamaica Plain. Ah, scratch that. J-P is definitely not for a nut like you.
616, not 666
Also, 'Saviour' comes from Old French sauveour (eight letters) from Late Latin salvatorem (ten letters) (nominative: salvator (eight letters)). In the Bible, this is translated from the Greek soter (five letters).
Although it did replace the Old English hælend . That had six letters.
So, um, basically you're just once more saying that English is the only language in which the Bible is valid. Which we've already established is pretty moronic.
Those fundies... Endless fun, aren't they?
Presented with a bottle of wine, they'll wage endless rhetorical wars on the color, size, wording, layout and language of the label in comparison with their favorite wine... and completely neglect to savour the contents.
In American English it is spelled "Savior."
In British English it is spelled "Saviour" (also in Canada, Australia, and South Africa...and probably a few other places that were part of the British Empire).
You want "Saviour," move to England or Canada or Aus...but stay out of South Africa. I have enough of you morons to contend with already.
Oddly, insisting on British spelling instead of American is one of the things that makes Wikipedia evilly anti-American according to Conservapedia. So rules for biblical and encyclopedic spelling are different, are they?
It's spelled with five (or four and a half) letters in the OT Hebrew and also with five letters in the NT Greek from which the KJB was translated, so it doesn't sound like God takes much interest in this sort of numerology nonsense. Besides, I'll bet Nic's Bible doesn't spell "return" as "returne" as it did in the original Barker 1611 edition, so he's still stuck with substituting the evil 6 for the holy 7.
"But when Jesus tried to enter Jerusalem, men of the city came and beat He and the Twelve back from the gates, saying "this man is not the son of God. This is the devil, for he hath but six letters in his job description". But Jesus replied "I tell you solemly, I am the authentic seven-letter edition Saviour, not the demonic six-letter version. Yea, look here at my driver's license". And the men of Jerusalem did look upon it and were filled with joy."
(Except from the long lost Gospel according to Saint Jimbo)
Someone should tell Nic Kizziah: "It doesn't matter if there's a U in savior; having the Savior in YOU is what counts."
(I would but I just can't bring myself to say sappy, crappy stuff like that.)
"or" - American spelling
"our" - British spelling
idiot
So does this mean your god loves the British Empire more than the US? Maybe that's why we get less natural disasters?
@SweetViolet, we don't want him either, he can float in international waters and make up his own damn language for all I care.
Yeah, theres big money in the counterfeit bible smuggling business.
But dont be fool kids, ocunterfeir bibles kill.
So the Anti-Christ really is our Savior?
HUZZAH!
What a coincidence how "Number of the Beast" started playing just like a minute ago.
Wait for it...
SIX! SIX-SIX! THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST!
Five letters is what you should be worried about.

Seven letters in a word is good?

Having read alot of fundie posts full of spelling errors, bad grammar and confusing puncuation, I can say I find this post ironic.
I'm talking about real irony, not that Alanis Morissette version of irony.

Because it's really all about "u," isn't it?

Oh no! American English is different from British English!
Go buy a British version, and the world is as it should be again.
The Swedish word for Saviour is eight letters long.
Please inform us, oh wise one, what that means.

'American Spelling'? NO U.
That means you Teabaggers (as shown above). And there's me thinking that the 'Boston Tea Party' was all about defying taxation imposed upon you by we British in the past, thus people in the US turning to Coffee (a.k.a. Satan's own Diarrhoea, IMO! XP >_< ); to say nothing of you coming up with your own charming little bastardisation of the language you claim to speak (not taking into account it's origin, nor your continuing to use such).
...seems you Tea baggers seem to have forgotten that. But then, pre-2009, you lot forgot that McCain was the worst RINO out there. Right-wing America: Selective Amnesia.
Dude, you do realize that the Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, and Greek, right? What you're reading is a translation of a translation of a translation that was done to satisfy the ego of an early seventeenth century English king, right?
What you were probably looking at was a British edition. Not everybody follows American spelling patterns, you know.
Just stick to English versions of the KJV, and you'll be fine. Stay away from American versions.
Satan is only five letters.
