Amen, if you’ve accepted Jesus as your King and Savior, which I believe you have, then the Holy Spirit lives in you and will teach you all things concerning God,Jesus His Son and the Holy Spirit. Even if the Bible was removed from us by governments or whoever, the Holy Spirit would still teach us because we are God’s Children and He won’t leave His Children without His Word and Truth. In short, if the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit lives in you, then the Truth of God and the Word of God lives in you. When you read your Bible, you are focusing your attention on God and when that happens, God’s Holy Spirit starts bringing up from within you the Truth of God, this is also true when you pray and are focusing on God at other times as well. God can never be taken away, isn’t that awesome! Rev. Daryl Drennan

@@paulajohnson6409 The NLT is a great resource and it is the Bible I often give away to new believers and teach from when talking to young people. I have never done an in-depth verse-by-verse comparison, but the people that have that I trust say that the overwhelming majority of the choices they made in translation were good. The NLT is not a word for word. It is a functional equivalent with a bias toward being much easier to read, and it might seem to cross into a paraphrase category for some people. It is not among my normal personal study translations, but I started in the KJV 40 years ago. Sometimes the language in the NLT is so new it distracts me, so I use the ESV.

@@Siaya7 So if you read in another language, you are out of luck? Also, God's promises are bigger than a single translation. He promises if we seek Him, we will find Him in Matthew 7:7-8. There are other well-known verses like Jer 33:3, Isa 55:11, John 16:13, and Rev 3:20 that make similar promises. Tell me, in the KJV, which I know pretty well, where does it say to only read the KJV? Where does it say the Holy Spirit only works if we stay with versions translated from the Textus Receptus? My God is bigger than a single translation. My God planned to have His Word translated many many times over the years into languages that spread It all over the globe (Isa 55:11). The Bible warns us against pharisaical religious requirements and burdening believers with tradition in Matthew 16:6-12 & Acts 15:5-31. In Matthew 23, Jesus warns us against religious elitism, like, "Look at me, I am better than other Christians because I read the KJV." I am not accusing you of this, but be careful. I assume since you have decided the KJV is the only Bible a person can read you might be familiar with the hymn, "Have Faith in God." Put your faith in Him, not the KJV which history tells us had some outside influences while being translated. I am not knocking the KJV, it was my translation of choice for close to three decades. God is bigger than the debate of Textus Receptus vs Critical Text, trust HIM!

I enjoy the (Authorized) KJV because it is easier for me to memorize chapters of PSALMS and verses from both the OT and NT. I have a "toolbox" of around 100 or so scriptures in my head that are used on a regular basis. The Amplified , NKJV, NIV, ESV, and the NET are useful references. I find that cross referencing with these versions are more helpful for learning scripture explanation than commentaries.

The word of God says it differently (Matthew 5:22 KJB But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Notice nasb omitted without a cause. The nasb makes Jesus a sinner by omitting without a cause. Why ? Because Jesus was angry when he drove out the money changers. I could give you many many examples of errors in the nasb. Do you want to compare it with God's word?

May this message richly bless you and yours as it has bless me. Many profess believers of Jesus Christ believe that the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath holy was nailed to the cross and that we no longer have to keep it, while still embracing the other nine commands. Do you believe this? Ask yourself this question: which one or ones of the following Ten Commandments do Jesus wants us to keep and obey? 1. Thou shalt not have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make or bow down to gpl raven image. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 5. Honor thy father and thy mother. 6. Thou shalt not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness. 10. Thou shalt not covet. Answer_________________ The Sabbath command is not only to be kept but it is to be calculated by the Time/calendar God ordained in the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:14. The sun, moon and stars are God’s True Time/calendar not that famous Gregorian calendar hanging on our walls in our houses. The Sabbath is calculated by the sun, moon and stars. This split in God’s law must be repaired!! All of God’s laws, statutes, judgments and testimonies are just and true! We must do things God’s way or else we will be worshipping him in vain. There will be no good reward. God may allow the people that rules this world to enforce some type of Sabbath law to test people to see if they will keep His law or no. Already, there are Sabbath laws/blue laws/Sunday laws on government books today. Friday is not the true Sabbath. Saturday is not the true Sabbath. Sunday is not the true Sabbath, etc., because they are calculated by man’s time/calendars. This information is helpful both now and future, to get back to God’s ways and be able to choose wisely if such a “Sabbath Test” is enforced. Let us read our Bibles, seriously repent of our evil ways, stop worshiping other gods, talking about one another, stealing, killing, lying, fornicating, adultery, disobedient to parents, etc., etc., etc. Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. This Babylonian system is falling, the Powers in charge are aware of this fact but they cannot stop it. Their time is coming to an end! Our time is coming to an end! If any worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, the same shall have no rest day or night and they shall be burnt with fire and brimstone. Revelation 13 and 14. Deuteronomy 5 Isaiah 58:12-14. Also, research the “Seven Noahide Laws.” I have heard that these are Jewish laws taken from their book, “Talmud.” The first law forbids idolatry and according to Jewish writings, to believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. I have also heard that some of the USA presidents have signed this law under “Proclamation 5956-. Education Day, U.S.A, 1989 and 1990” and, word is that, it is planned to be unleashed on all nations in the future. So, Research and see if these things be truth. May The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

I became a Believer in 1973 and yes I had a Living Bible but the Lord guided me to other ones as I grew spiritually which was a good thing but for along time I had no one living in my life, family, close friend or neighbour to talk about scriptures only a mentor across the other side of Canada which we had no internet at that time so seldom communicated but I thank God we have faithfully been able to since our iPads and she is in her nineties. God kept me faithful for 50 years next month, through thick and thin, divorce, financial hardships, a son presently with cancer, waiting for prayers to be answered for a saved family but in Gods time. I thank all the American ministries who has helped me over the years as I have had good ones, Billy Graham, Charles Stanley, Christ in Prophecy and more as well as yours the last two years also a trip to Israel where I got baptized after waiting 38 years.

Ordinarily I use the KJV but (after being instructed to do so at university) reference the RSV for a more accurate word-for-word translation. However, any thoughts on the Vulgate Bible, Douay-Rheims translation (Dumbarton Oaks, Harvard University Press), derived from the original translations and compilations of St. Jerome made between the late fourth and early fifth centuries? As this is the earliest translation from Latin texts made commonly available in the evangelising of Europe, it can be considered as the single most significant influence upon the the development of Early Medieval Christian theology. It would seem unreasonable to use any modern (post-KJV) Bible when studying this subject as they did not, then, exist.

The NIV didn't actually remove anything. It's based on Greek manuscripts that the KJV translators didn't have access to. In 1611 the oldest mss they had access to were from around 800AD and today we have some mss that are from around 100-150AD. And we found that scribes copying the mss sometimes *added* text which ended up in bible translations. The NIV used older mss and didn't include the verses that were not original like the KJV translators unknowingly did.

@gtrmusic69 Ай бұрын

NIV is missing no verses at all. However if you compare it to the King James and the Translations based on King James it does not include everything that the KJV has. But the King James is not the original Bible in the least. The NIV went past KJV and straight to the source. You see, you got it backwards. King James has added verses. Look up "niv missing verses" and read for your self how over 100 Biblical scholars went straight to the source and translated the Bible into modern day English. A good in-between NIV and KJV is the ESV which also went straight to the source and sure enough happens to be "missing" the exact same verses.

And I didn't wanna wear a tie anymore. I also noticed they quote Paul more than Jesus. Now im my 40s, I'm a total atheist but I still try to set the record straight regarding them.
