Bible Note: Greetings Ken, Praise the Lord that you read and study the Bible, and praise the Lord that you have found your Bible Version of choice in the King James Version. However, I ask you: is it really wise to discredit a Brother or Sister in Christ who may have become saved and may reap the fruit of Christ by using a different Bible Version then the one that you use? Romans 14:4 "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." [KJV] Should you really judge someone who has become saved like you, based on which Bible that he has chosen for himself to use? "For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." Romans 14:7-8 [KJV] One man believes that he can eat all things, another only eats vegetables. One person regards one day above another, another person regards every day alike. One man reads and studies out of the KJV, another out of the NIV, and yet another out of the NASB.. One person writes in his Bible, another one doesn't because it is prettier that way... "But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God." Romans 14:10 [NASB] "Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this- not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way." Romans 14:13 [NASB] Now, I ask you: who is in the right by using which translation? Makarios |
