I am terribly sorry that I was drawn into this debate. I was just hoping to post a good article about King James, which I thought was interesting. Years ago when I came on these boards an article like this was received with amen’s and thank-you's. It is obvious that the ratio of liberals has changed since then and many people no longer stand by God's uncompromising word.
I am settled on the AV KJV and have come to this conclusion based on my study of God's Word and where the texts come from not some compromising liberal teaching.
It is sad to see how many churches have fallen to other versions. The outcome is dead churches that don't even believe God and spend more time trying to persuade kids to come with rock music and compromise because all they have is a hollow book that can't be trusted (NIV and others). Bring in the sodomites cause our new versions have replaced the word sodomite with sexual pervert or prostitute. Bring in the infant baptism cause one of the strongest texts supporting believer’s baptism has been dropped. (Acts 8:37). Take out the reason Jesus came to earth. (Matthew 18:11 and Luke 9:56). Take away the scripture that shows God fulfilling prophesy. (Matthew 27:35) Change and garble references to the deity of Christ (1 Timothy 3:16) (Revelations 1: and the trinity. (1 John 5:7) Bring in whatever you want because you can always find a version that will tell you what you want, and if you don’t, get a group together and come up with your own version.
Confusion Confusion Confusion
1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
Proverbs 3:5-7 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.”
1Thessolonians 2:13 “For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.”
