Go to any Christian forum and you'll find a debate about; which english version of the scripture is the best, (closest to God's truth) version to study. Which version is the pure version. Which version is going to last the longest to preserve God's truth. Many believe the the King James Version is the only version of the written word worth studying, others claim that many or all english versions have the truth of God's word between the covers. And others just write their own version to suit their need of religion. Ok now the facts about any and all writen (english & else) translations. No where in the Scripture is the written word promised. Think about this folks, again no where within the scriptures is a written version of God's word promised to us. There is a very good reason for this. Man the translator is flawed. God the Father promised us Jesus, Jesus God the son promised the Holy Spirit. All english versions of the Scriptures have flaws, even the King James Version. So how do christians get the truth that God has to offer us. How do we recieve God's word, God's truth and not that of man. Look to the example Jesus gives us. Jesus goes to John the Baptist, is baptised and recieves the Holy Spirit before moving on to his public ministry. From that time to the 1400's the time of the printing press intented only Hebrew and Greek text was availible in written form. Not many had or could read these text. The Apostiles had no written word to go on, only the Holy Spirit. The English translations are a good second source of learning, a great place to start, but still to this day the best source of study is with the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised: the Holy Spirit would lead us into all truths, not the english translation of other text, translated by flawed man. Any Christian that dose'nt study with the Holy Spirit at their side will not come to know the truth with any version of the Bible. I'm sure this will rattle off into many directions. Some will agree, some will disagree, some will just be more confused. It's ok, we are human and humans are flawed, all of us (finger pointing back at myself). But the Holy Spirit is Pure, True, and the third person of the Godhead "the Holy Spirir of God". God bless all Linehaul

2Timothy2:15, what does your bible say? I hold to the KJV being the one true word of God for the last generations. If you disagree I would like to hear your point of view. As Christian if we don’t understand we study to shew thy work approved unto God. we also must have a single book of the word of truth to be held in our hands, not multiple, as meaning can change and has dire consequences. The KJV is not so much archaic but Shakespearean and considered to be the biggest achievement in English literature, this was for an authoritative sounding word that held fast to meaning, maybe an improvement over many of the manuscripts, and is written purely, not corrected with man’s mistakes, it is also written/taken from “Majority Manuscripts” and by 46 writers Faithful praying Christians over a Span of time (Bible-meaning the Book, singular) “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬ (If the LORD God says it is written, it’s singular meaning one written word of God always) “And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.” Deuteronomy‬ ‭8:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭17:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬ (A time after the Lord Jesus Christ was taken to the kingdom of God, the book shall be written at a time of great wrong doctrine to the last generations imo, again in a book, singular) “Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.” Jeremiah‬ ‭30:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬ (Again in a book) “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ (how can meditation be done on the word of God if you don’t believe theres a perfect Bible) “Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭34:16 KJV (this is one of the best proofs you need to know there’s only one Authorised Version, the command to seek out the word of truth) “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22:18-19‬ ‭KJV‬‬ (2 seperate verses helping to spot corrupt, counterfeit versions to beware of and dire consequences NIV,ASV,ESV,NKJV ect as many of these make Lucifer the Morningstar and take verses out of the Bible which can lead to doctrinal errors and eventually leading to Heresies/cults (Mormans, Seventh Day Adventist, Jahovah Witnesses ect And is devastating to the Church) and Finally but plenty more... “Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?”Ecclesiastes‬ ‭8:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬ (if there is to be power to the scholars/writers and publishes of the book (KJV 1611) power is under a kings careful commands for handling with precision and dispensation the correct word of God, and a bonus that he has a Hebrew name, and this version is the most wide spread popular version ever in history, something to consider) Discern which corrupt book you may be reading and believing. God bless you all.
