Members hermanj Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Actually he does use the KJV. And I agree, there's a lot of great stuff in it. They have a lot of great books at their website too. I have a couple already and plan on getting a bunch more. He must have gone back to the KJV from the MVs. All the stuff of my mom's uses The Living Bible or another one that I can't remember. We always just looked up the verses in our Bible whenever they came up in his stuff.

Members John81 Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Yeah, I love many books by Steve Farrar but he doesn't use the KJV so I keep one at hand while reading his books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hermanj Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think many good things can be said by people who do not use the right Bibles, and we should not refuse to use it simply because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 I agree Jim! There are some saved folks out there who have a great way of communicating certain biblical truths yet they don't use the KJV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hermanj Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 The only thing is....we have to be careful, especially in recommending books to younger Christians. I know of one time I recommended a book written by a non-KJV person and that person thought I wasn't KJVO because of it. I try to always say, "It doesn't use the KJV, but if you have one, you can just look the verses up." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted November 5, 2006 Members Share Posted November 5, 2006 Absolutely! Good point. I agree. There are several books I've read that have been a real blessing to me but if there is even the tiniest bit of something not "100%" with the book, I wouldn't recommend it to a new or younger Christian.

Members kevinmiller Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 That's interesting, I don't remember any books that have other translations in them. All of the curriculum for ATI and the books he has authored have been KJV. Some of the books that IBLP sells aren't KJV but as has been said, some really good books have been written by non KJV people. A couple that comes to mind are books by Bruce Wilkinson and Joshua Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 Really nice. Work all day, come home to check OB and I find two threads I started have been locked with what would seem no more reason than some folks couldn't argue their personal positions from a biblical platform. If there is not a biblical argument against or for something, then that should give folks a clue they need to reevaluate their position. This is especially true if there are biblical arguments which stand against what they are against or for. Why can't Christian adults carry on a conversation to its conclusion rather than being forced into silence constantly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
