King James Version

I think I like the New King James Version the best, from what I've read in it. It's written in a current language and, while not as poetic as the KJV, I think it retains pretty much all of the important stuff. Besides that, I feel that man is enevitably fallible, and as thus, no bible is 100% correct. (Waits for the fiery darts about to be fired at him for that comment) I don't think we can all know God 100%, because then He probably wouldn't be much better than we are. And, quite frankly, I can't think of God like that. In any case, I think God is much more concerned with our hearts and our actions towards fellow man than what we read.

I have studied with several translations over the years and still prefer the KJV when I sit down to read my Bible. Other translations at times leave out important key words or verses.

I was given a One Year Bible in 1987 as a gift. I loved reading it through. It is really hard to put down because I want to see what happend before the next day. It is an NIV. I still pull it out to read through at times, but I still prefer the KJV. There was a paper floating around some years ago that listed all the things the NIV left out that was key words or verses. It was a valid paper.

The best research is to look at both sides of the argument.

Like for example on the KJV-only issue, the pro-KJVO people make all kinds of claims like the ones you listed.

But don't just blindly accept that as proof, search out the people who offer a rebuttal for such claims before coming to a decision.

I cut my teeth on the NIV yet I am still here in fellowship. If God wants you , He will take you.

NASB here, backed up by the KJV, NKJV, NIV, and Transliterated Bible for clarification and contrast

I struggled with this a little, but I am sticking with the KJV. I've read it 6 times. You get used to the language and there are booklets that can define some of the unfamiliar language.

Ok, i am just going to say my view on this and leave it at that. I use ONly the old KJV< not the new or any other version.

I do not know how to use the quote things properly so, this will be interesting.

Somone previously had said that they don't belive that any of the orignial manuscripts exist. Many say that they true version of the bible does not exist anymore... here is what the bible says.

Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Psa 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

The bible says that his words will be preserved from generation to generation. he also says that anyone who adds to his word, or takes away from it will be stopped.

To be honest, not to cause an arguement, i am not going ot trust a version that starts with "New". Does that not say that it is not the orginal and that it has been chanehd around? Differnt versions change around the meaning by changing the words of God.

My stand is that the KJV is the pure, perfect, and infallable word of God.

I read the origional NASB, and listen to the KJV and do topic studies with pcstudy bibble 4.xx with 9 different translations and two sets of strongs and several books and study guides.

Basically really learn the things from listening to KJV, but converse with people (mostly writing) from all the rest.
