Comparing translations give astonishing insights and also raise new questions. My feelings exactly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use KJV/NKJV for deeper study and that being much less frequently. what the heck... a verse for today on the mind: "Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin." - Hebrews 9:22 AND Leviticus 17:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have full confidence in the Textus Receptus/Masoretic text over the Alexandrian texts. I believe the Lord is Lord and can keep his entire Word intacts for us, even at this late stage of the game. I believe that to be the KJB. It is not something that I will break fellowship over, but after careful study over several years it is my choice. I find the language beautiful. Any words that I may not be familar with I simply look up in a KJB dictionary. Helps me learn. Chick publications www.chick.com has an NIV test that may suprise some. I know it can be a controversial subject, but one worthy of study. After all, it is God's Word and is precious. God Bless I am so with you there I'm a "KJV Only" and "God's Pure Word Only" kind of gal I also believe that preserved His Word like he promised and while many may not agree, I believe that that text is what is used in the KJV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
