Bible Note: Hi New Creature, No translation was here before 1965 as far as I was concerned!! I was just having a little fun. Actually I was saved while reading my wife’s Bible, which was a Douay Reims version. The Lord saved me when I believed what God’s Word was telling me about His Son Jesus. I then proceeded to Bible whip my wife to death, or should I say to life, for about two months, because I had found out the truth about eternal life. She finally put, as it were, all of her eggs of faith in one basket and realized that Jesus was enough, that Jesus was all she really needed; PRAISE the Lord, He opened her eyes in an instant and God's Word came alive to her also! When I was a new Christian all I could think about was using the beautiful new sword that had been given to me, Ephes. 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: I probably muddied up more water then the Mississippi but boy I sure knew what I had found in Christ and I wanted everyone to have it. When I finally purchased a KJV version it was just like putting the icing on a cake, and I still love it’s old English style although I do use many versions to elaborate on meaning along with the Koine Greek. Isn’t the Lord just precious, CDBJ |
