My mother in law has been very hostile toward me and my husband because I do use the NIV. I do reject her churches thinking of KJV only so since I reject one of their core beliefs, I doubt I will feel welcome. In Fact her pastor has also been hostile towards me. I never even wanted to willingly visit her church, it took me a while to be willing to do so. In closing.... My life, hope, faith is in God alone. Not in certain Bible translations.

What do you mean?

If my husband and I feel lead to attend an IFB church then I will do what God wants, I don't know if He ever will, but we will see.

I do not think satan is behind my decision, I will never ever leave the church and I will never stop reading the Bible.... I absolutely am still going to a Baptist church (just Baptist, not an independent one, just plain Baptist) and I continually read Gods Word. I just don't think and IBF church is the right one for me. or that the forum is the place I need to be.

Its not just the message board it was just the final nail in the coffin... other things have lead to that decision

Since I have only posted in this thread I will say this here... I am leaving this forum. I came here looking for answers but instead I was hurt by how hateful some of you seem to be. None of this has changed my thinking of my mother in law, or any other IFBs. I was very much looking forward to visiting my mother in laws church (a IFB one) but now I will never set foot in one and neither is my husband (who agrees with me) I pray Gods blessing on you, even though it is hard for me to ask Him that.

But it was in the 1611 Original King James.

But it would be King James...

What if the Apocrypha was put back into the King James? Would we all suddenly claim the King James is corrupt?

of course! I was five years old and I was being horrible to my parents one day, disobeying left and right. My father sat down with me and told me the reason I was disobeying so much was because of sin and he asked after he explained about sin and what Christ did on the cross. He prayed with me and asked me to pray and I accepted Jesus and my Lord and Savior. Now, I don't remember that and that was from what my parents told me. It bugged me for years that I could not remember accepting Christ as my savior. So when I was 10 I asked one of my teachers to pray with me and I prayed again for Christ to be my savior. This time I remember and then when I was 16 I gave my life to God saying I am His servant. :)

I was a user of the NIV and so is most of my church family. I do believe that the Word of God is holy. So does my church family... we do not pick and choose verses that we think are good and ignore others.

If someone uses The Message Bible to bring someone to Christ and they accept Jesus as their savior then great! When we say God only favors certain translations, doesin't that mean we are limiting the power of God?

Gods word is quick and powerful. If I translated a modern version (like NIV) into a language that some tribe deep in the Amazon jungle know... Gods power does not flee from that translation just because it is not KJV.

I was not saying that God does not preserve His word. I was saying that we can not claim that one translation is "better" or "more right" than others...
