Would you ever choose to read your Bible this way? Surely your understanding would be better if you could read straight from where the KJV was translated from right? I am asking b/c i may have a chance here shortly to study one or both of the languages and am thinking it would be a blessing to be able to read straight from the originals. What do you guys think?

God used this evil king, King James, to make a great Bible, along with great men. scholars of the days, and those men that fear God, they also feared the king. Don’t mess up, or off with your head.

Did Adam Have A Priestly Position? Reading 'Searching for ADAM, Terry Mortenson, Editor He contrasts the verbs of Genesis 2:15 with the verbs in Numbers 3:7-10. Adams job description with that of the Levitical Priesthood. I thought the possibility intriguing enough to garner thoughts from others. Adam the first created priest! Personally, having yet to compare other scripture, I will be looking further.

Hi everyone. Are Bibles in other languages that are translated from the Textus Receptus perfect just like the KJV is or is the KJV the only perfect Bible in any language?

BrotherTony asked me to show where some modern versions remove or change passages about the deity of Christ, hence this thread. Robert Bratcher who "translated" the Good News Bible did not believe Jesus was good, so his translation was done in such a way as to present his doctrinal stance. Here are some examples: Acts 20:28 So keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock which the Holy Spirit has placed in your care. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he made his own through the blood of his Son. Does not declare God shed His own blood - therefore ruining a verse teaching Christ is both God and man, and that it was His blood that purchased our salvati…

I don’t think so, it doesn’t look like many more still do. Some I probably think, says it’s old fashion. I have it on my cell, or tablet. Many don’t know, after changing their cell phone and downloading it again the app, it removes all prior notes and highlights. ? Bring your Bible to church

I wrote a piece on this subject at hand about ten years ago, which still can be found on line. I know how it ties in with BRANCH and the four gospel (inscriptions on the cross, Jesus name at birth and elsewhere) and how these show up in other places. This writing on LBCS It was lengthy but I am sure I overlooked something. There are those that teach that there are no valid reasons, but as a Bible Believer I know better

A poster on another forum, the topic of which was questioning the authenticity of the last 12 verses in the book of Mark, wrote that it doesn't really matter because there is no doctrinal teaching in Mark 16:9-20 that cannot be proved elsewhere in agreed Scripture. I made the mistake of sticking my nose into the discussion by pointing out that actually there is a statement in verse 9, as the KJV and similar versions have it, which is used for a doctrinal teaching that is to be found nowhere else in Scripture. As the KJV and similar versions translate it, it is the only place that puts the resurrection on the first day of the week. I then suggested that whenever the d…

This topic is not to discuss the accuracy of the KJV or other translations, but to discuss the use of saying "I use the KJV 1611 Bible" Is it wrong to say that we use the KJV 1611 or should we say KJV 1763? A common argument against the KJV is to say that we don't use the 1611 Bible but rather the 1763. I understand what took place in the English language for the updates that took place in 1763, and I also understand why I say KJV 1611. Nobody that I'm aware of says that the Bible I read is the original KJV 1611 style, but the foundation was from the KJV 1611. It seems that that logic that is thrown in the KJV faces only applies to the Bible. I drive a 2013…

Hi, I would love to hear the community’s feedback about using an update to the King James Version. I love the KJV. But the language is basically 400 year-old English. So if there were a simple and accurate update to the KJV that made no changes except updating the old language, would you want to use it? What would be your thoughts generally about such an update? Would you like it as a stand alone version, or as a parallel Bible with the current KJV? It would be great to hear what you all think. May God be glorified. In Christ, Joseph

Per title, it's about time I purchase a new Bible to preach from. My current preaching Bible of 30+ years is beyond repair. It is a Scofield Bible and I'm starting to have a hard time reading the small print. he Bible has been taped together plenty of times, but pages keep falling out now so time to purchase a new Bible. Thank you, I'm not looking for wide margin Bible, but rather just a good Bible to use while preaching. My questions are, What type of KJV Bible do you recommend or even maybe use? Scofield, Cambridge, Thompson Chain, etc. What size font do you like to use? Goatskin, Lambskin, etc? Which one holds up better?

I was thinking ahead to the events of Christ's passion and His resurrection, I completed a side study on Judas Iscariot and a thought crossed my mind. I can't imagine what it might have been like for that other disciple who was partnered with Judas Iscariot when Christ sent them forth (Mark 6:7). Can you? Who would have been paired with Judas? Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James, Lebbaeus Thaddaeus, Simon the Canaanite. Try substituting your name for any of the eleven above and imagine the experience. What effect might this have had from the experience? Apostle? Yourself?

I am new to this forum, and I specifically came here to see the IFB views about Divorce, Re-Marriage, Adultery and Ministry. I am an IFB and have wrestled for years about this topic, because of my desire to be in the ministry. I can say that this has been a subject of great debate since the 1st century and, knowing that God is not the author of confusion, I can only conclude that Satan has used this to divide churches and create sects that do not glorify God. One thing is clear to me; "The husband of one wife" means what it says. A one woman man, committed to the one he is married to, whatever the situation, be it death or divorce...BUT, I must continue! First of…

Having grown up in the Hyles movement and since rejecting most of what I was taught in the movement, I am no longer KJVO in the extreme sense of the term. My position would be closest to PastorJ's - TRO. My position is based upon what I was taught at Bible college and that is that the Received Text is based on over 5,000 manuscripts that are in agreement with one another and were found spread out all over the Middle East. The Critical Text, however, is based largely on fragments that do not always agree with each other and were found in basically one location. They are touted by some as being more authoritative because they are older. Is this what the rest of y…
