KJV for me.

Why so many versions? Well, like some have already said, the devil's tactic. Water down the truth somewhere. If you were to compare some versions side by side, you will find stuff omitted and/or changed in meaning or structure. I'll give you some examples in my next post.

I use the KJV first and formost. I also like using the nelson word study student study bible. In deep study I always check with the KJV though. I do this because other translations can differ in meaning and thats just thinking of the english translations. The norwegian translations differ even more :laugh: Sometimes I crossreferance with the greek too.

Why are there so many differenf Bibles out there?

Some people say for easier reading.

But I tend to believe it's the devil's way of twisting scripture.

Just my opinion.

My personal pref. .... NKJV.

I agree! :laugh:

The devil will use any tactic he can to twist scripture.

I too prefer NKJV.

Yes, I voted.

I agree

I DISAGREE.

By saying that a translated version of the bible is the devil's way of twisting scripture is obsurd. By your reasoning then, the only bible version that we can actually trust is the original manuscripts and writings that were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek; because these were written by the original authors. How can you be sure that when the bible was translated into English that it was done correctly by a Christian brother and not by someone who's heart was with the devil?

I've tried reading KJV and NKJV and I can't understand a word they are saying. I may be a newbie to Christianity, but those versions of the bible can be very intimidating and difficult to understand for a believer just starting out.

There are many different ways to say the same thing. What's wrong with adapting the word of Christ to the modern English language, so that a wider range of people can understand the teachings of Christ?

I voted as "other" since I have several different versions on my laptop. I like to compare them to see where each is leading, and hopefully how they compliment each other.

OK like I promised,

compare 1 Tim 3:16 in the KJV, NAS and Living Bible

Luke 24:52 KJV , NAS

I also came across a scripure in the KJV. It was the first verse in a book, when i looked in the NIV, verse 2 was verse 1. I'm don't remember the book, when I find it I'll tell you which 1 it is.

More to come if ya want em.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
