Greetings Ken John! My friend, no one here would critize anyone for reading or using the KJV. If that is your choice, I have no problem with it whatsoever. What I would critize is your telling others that the KJV is the only translation which is the Word of God. That position is simply unsupportable for many reasons. 1) The KJV is just a translation. It is not the Word of God. It didn't drop out of Heaven complete. 2) The KJV has been revised many times over the years. Did God make mistakes the first few times? ;-) 3) The KJV did not have many manuscripts for support. The KJV is an excellent translation. But, it is only a translation my friend. I actually study from the Greek text, not from the translations. So, I am very much aware that all of the translation occasionally miss the boat. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Gentlemen, It would seem that there have been some misunderstandings concerning the various translations of the bible. I am sorry if I have trodden on a few toes. I do not wish to be the cause of unhappiness or disputes. The point I was trying to make (probably badly it would seem by the reaction from all of you)is that God is using the King James Version to speak to me more than any other translation. I came to Christ reading the NIV but, as I grew in Him, I found errors in that translation so turned to the KJV. "How sweet are thy Words unto my taste!yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" Psalm 119:103. As a mature Christian, I am well aware of the history of the bible and all the translations. I am also sensitive to the fact that the evil one is at work and man is easily led astray so one must test everything. In closing, I pray that God's Will and Truth will lead you in your studies. Until He comes again, Ken John. |
