What is your opinion about the living Bible as a study guide?
A.J. Bible
I completely agree with Rev. Finis Dake. I’m 27 and I still today read, study, and teach from the KJV. The majority of our church members use the KJV. It’s the most trusted version. People make excuses as to why they don’t like/understand the KJV but it’s only for lack of committing time. That and many new translations change not just the old English words but doctrinal words that do not need to be changed but rather understood.

Rev. Finis Dake was a walking KJV. Visit him on Youtube. Lord bless !

You own and read an actual 1611 KJV Bible ???
A.J. Bible
You and I both know the King James version 1611 has been cleaned up and made available for the Modern English reader. While yes I do own an actual 1611 King James version what I read, study, and teach from is an authorized King James version though not the 1611. Nice try though. ?
Varnel Watson
oh WOW I only know a few people who own an actual 1611 KJV Bible and they dont even use it. It just stays in their collections. Is your actual 1611 a first or second edition?
A.J. Bible
Oh I see what you’re saying. No it’s a reproduction.
Varnel Watson
Well thats a given, but which edition? The app and website have different printed versions of 1611 https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/

I like their comments and references. They make good points. But as for the Bible reading itself. I can understand and get more out of the King James Version. But my study Bible in the King James Version. Gives great points also.

I know a very good pastor that uses the NIV. He brings people to Jesus with it too. I think you know how I feel about it though. It’s not the Bible you read it’s the Bible you live. That’s what matters!

I’m not following you off on some redirect. Just say what you mean.

David Sloan is your post about KJV or NIV? http://www.pentecostaltheology.com/announcing-probible-com/
David Sloan
It’s about the NIV or as the article describes it as the New International Perversion. It is a very informative article about the dangers of reading and teaching from the NIV, a very dangerous bible.
Varnel Watson
well we’ve discussed here before that some online NIV have changed in recent years and do not fully represent the older printed on paper NIV Bibles. Just an interesting observation
