I did have issues with portions of scripture that were omitted and therefore study in conjuction with my King James Version. I plan on purchasing a NKJV as I think I may be happy with that translation... hopefully. Baptistrw, Pastor Keith, Wisdom seeker, Mahogany what do you guys think of this version or do you have any experience with it? I'm looking for an accurate translation that I can read as well. Tried going back to just the KJV but found I was reading ALOT less because I spent time in confusion. I value your opinions.

Jas 1:5If any of you lack WISDOM, let him ask of GOD, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

If we seek knowledge on putting A bike together, you need true/correct instructions, if the instructions are incorrect then the bike will either look funny when you get it together or either it will not even work right when it is done if you can even get it done . the Bible needs to be the truth. with man it would be impossible to have a true Bible but with God all things are possible, if we can't believe that God can give us a true Bible in the language we speak then how can we trust God to do anything. we believe that God inspired men to write the orginal manuscripts, but now adays we believe that God can not in 1611 inspired men to translate the true Bible in english. but for about 330 years men believed that we had the true bible the authorized version the King James Bible. but men wanted to learn more about God so they said let's make the word easier, But God said if you want wisdom ask me. so My advised is to stay with the Knig James ask God for wisdom everytime you read it.

But these verses helped me more than anything Hope they help you:

Pr 2:1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;Pr 2:2So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;Pr 2:3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;Pr 2:4If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;Pr 2:5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.Pr 2:6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.


If I gave you a treasure map and told you that if you followed the instrutions that it would lead you to a treasure chest worth 1 million dollars. I dare say that you would even forsake everything , even your family for awhile so that you could focus on the map and search for the treasure. this is what God is saying here, just popping open the Word every once an awhile. but if we get serious about learning more about God , with every free minute we have grab the Word dig in there just like digging for that treasure , for what is within the Pages of the Word is far greater than any earthly treasure we can find.

Ac 3:6Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
