Thanks for sharing this. Yes the word of God transforms people, but I do prefer the beauty & clarity of the KJV. Studying & rightly dividing involves a lot of work & discernment. Yes, we do have a responsibility to others to share what we have learned. Isn't it weird how different bible versions read totally different & give different meanings. For more info on bible versions you might read the book, New Age Bible Versions. I recently downloaded an inexpensive kindle book, 51 Reasons Why the King James: A Path fom Doubt to Faith.

I am only familiar with the New World Translation which a friend of mine recommended I read. This person is a "Jehovah's Witness", and does not think any other version is correct. Sad, but true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually read the NIV, since that is the first version I ever had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But above that I go to God's original languages the Bible was first presented to the world in, Hebrew and Greek. There is a completeness of understanding, and a beauty of God's reasoning and Gods purpose, that goes far beyond any modern version of the bible, in the original languages purest expansiveness and clarity. Hard to learn, and takes time - YES, but far beyond man's interpretations that came afterwards, and with a depth of meaning man was unable to convey, in languages that were without the proper words, to truly express God's message to the world. When you start learning and studying, your world will be opened up to a Christianity, most of the world doesn't recognize.

It was a struggle for years learning, and finding all the books and materials needed was a challenge, but the results were more than I could have ever expected. God was unrelenting in opening His heart to me for the wisdom and knowledge He passed on to me. By the way, this was His calling on my heart. It wasn't my idea to learn these languages, but it turned into something absolutely astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
