Default Re: Which Bible version shall I use

The KJV of the bible was developed during the early 1600s as a means of consolidating protestant heresy in Britain. While that version until the middle of the 19th century contained all the books of the OT, eventually the 7 books of the Septuagint were removed to support heresies such faith alone, no purgatory, denying that Mary was a virgin. Furthermore, the translation of that bible changed commonly accepted phraseology to further support protestant beliefs. .

The KJV is neither complete as a christian bible, nor does it have a translation which affirms Christian dogma. In short, the KJV is a fabricated book which does nothing to instill love of God based on Christian dogma.

The New Jerusalem Bible, the RSV [catholic], the NAB [catholic], as well as a number of others, are far superior to the KJV. They are complete, containing all 73 books of Christian Scripture, and the translation is more reliable.

The KJV is primarily used among quasi-christian fringe sects in America, and enjoys little popularity outside those cult groups.

I suggest to everyone who currently uses that book that they investigate a more orthodox version of Christian Scripture.

God Bless.
