Do not get me wrong I love the KJV but I also like the NKJV. Anybody out there feel the same way? I started using it from the pulpit and my people seem to love it also.

How? It is based on the same Greek text as the KJV.
I really like the KJV. The NKJV I read very little of. NIV type of guy I'yam...

Maybe that is why that one deacon acts differently.
Ditto.

I used the NKJV when I first started out preaching. The text is very accessible and I found it to be a consistently good translation. For my druthers, I don't care much for the KJV for preaching or teaching (but will occasionally reference it when appropriate.) The NKJV is a helpful upgrade to the KJV. The textual basis isn't the best, and some of the interpretive decisions are not ideal, but it is solid.
Corrected. I even bolded the word 'be'.
Two reformed guys who like the NIV? What's this world coming to?!?!?!?

Better than the Encrypted Synoptic Version

I heard the ESV was about to the level of 'The Message' now. Not quite to that level of scholarly work, but ever striving...ever climbing.

I heard it was on part with TNG bible, too.
You need your blood pressure checked. You look a little too red around the gills...and not John either.
