Re: Which Bible version shall I use

If one does not have the accurate interpretation of the Scriptures, then you cannot understand what God is saying, you cannot understand His commandments and His message, you cannot understand it yourself neither can you explain it to anybody else.

First of all, interpretation and translation are two separate issues. Plenty of people claim to read and study the accurate and error-free KJV but still get things wrong on doctrine.
Secondly, God can speak in many ways and most of those ways He speaks not using the bible but other ways. For example , coincidences, miracles, chance encounters, dreams, visions, etc. Many people who were former atheists could testify of how God revealed Himself to them and showed them that He was real. And all without a bible too.

It is absolutely vital that you have the correct translation, if you don't than you would be serving Satan while paying God mere lip service.If Christians have lost sight and comprehension of the true meaning of the Word of God then Christianity is lost, the written word of Holy Scripture is all we have to know God, we only know God by His word that He has given, you don't have that word or you have the wrong word and you don't have God and you are decieved. How can one preach the Gospel? how can one give the Good News? How can one tell the story of the history of human beings and the meaning of life on earth and all the wisdom that the Bible contains? How can you tell that you are reading the right word? You must rightly divide the word of God, if you cannot then you would want to find someone who can, otherwise your lost.

It's not that important to have the correct translation. Due to lack of bibles there is millions of christians who don't have their own bible version in the world today. Yet they are still christians, and many more converts are being made daily. The Gospel message is not that difficult to get wrong , in a nut shell "Jesus died for your sins", there you go. The original apostles were not preaching the Gospel from a book. They preached it from their hearts ,and their witness, and their testimony and experiences of the living Saviour. Both those who had seen Him in the flesh, and those like Paul who had Divine encounters.
