John R. Rice and the KJV

[Eternally Grateful]

Could be that the New Covenant is that Covenant enlarged and expanded to include now both Jews and Gentiles in it

It always included Jew and Gentile

Gen 12: 3C - And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

This literally says and in you (your seed) this is christ
Shall all the families (nations) of the earth be blessed

jew and gentile

please note. there was no jew or Israel at this time.

or was he KJ P (Preference) or T (Tradition)
KJO is more of the opinion is the KJ is the ONLY acceptable (or even perfect) version

if you are up to date on thie language this is fine. But I feel sorry for new people coming in and trying to understand it..

The thread is about John R. Rice and the KJV, not Calvinism, etc. If folks want to talk about Calvinism, let them start their own thread in that forum.

But I do see that you have responded in Post 82 about the subject. Mods, please hold that thought.

I really don't think it's that hard. The KJV we use now has been updated at least twice, even more depending on who edited it.

I have a man at my SS table who recently went to the KJV from whatever version he had. He has a little trouble following it, but not that much.

I have my mothers KJV. I took it when she passed away. I have it sitting in my book case.

Now remember, I grew up KJVO and until maybe my later teens, when my father gave me a NKJV did I start to read it in modern english. so I was well verses in Old english

today, when I take out my mothers KJV and try to read it. it is very difficult to read in some places.. While it is very poetic in its reading and I love that. words are no longer used today. so a person who has never read it is not going to comprehend what is said.

I personally love the NKJV.. But it is different than the KJV in some areas because of interpretive issues.. Maybe if they rewrote the KJV in modern English.. it would help

Actually, that's been done, sort of. D. A. Waite had a kind of "KJV explained." Then the New Scofield replaced the KJV archaic words with modern words. There are a couple of others, such as the "Modern King James," which I have in software. Not a bad effort.
