If I took you by the hand and led you through it, you still would not see it. You need to ask the Holy Spirit, HE is the teacher here. Not you, not me, not anybody but the Holy Spirit. We cannot even begin to understand the Word by studying it intellectually, because the things of the spirit are muddy to the natural mind...Let the Holy Spirit show you. He's just waiting for you to ask Him.

It takes ONE thing to understand God's word - BELIEVE IT and don't try to chnage it when it doesn't fit our idea of what "it should be".
How can a person find truth when truth is a moving target between bible versions? We can find a bible version to support any doctrine we want and that's why there is so much division, there is no absolute truth in the minds of most here... truth is what I want it to be. How is that absolute truth? Not aimed at you, just a blanket statement.

How? proof? I do like the answer since it wasn't 70A.D. again
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son , and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
When did the Lord pour out his grace on Jerusalem?
When did the Jews look upon the one they pierced?
Still not convinced?
John SAID it was fulfilled at the cross.
John 19:36-37 KJV
For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. [37] And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

But NO translation is perfect. NO translation is "God-breathed". This is why people research the ~5700 manuscripts that we're blessed to have. And with careful analysis, and the aid of computers, all the texts can be carefully compared and I believe we can get VERY close to the original God-breathed words as they were given to the writers of the Bible. But even if we can get a perfect Greek manuscript, there will STILL be errors when people translate it. Translation is hard work. Also, no matter how unbiased a translator wants to be, or thinks he is being, there will be the tendency to "translate in" the theology of the translator.
Insisting that the KJV is the perfect unadulterated Word of God is without merit.
LOLOL Ok Let me put it this way....You look at God the same way. Like a gem. I AM that I AM He said that. Didn't He? Ok. Do you need healing? He says "That's the I Am that I Am" Do you need salvation? He says "That's the I Am that I Am" Do you need deliverance from the attack of the devil? He says "That's the I Am that I Am" How about a way out of poverty? He says "That's the I Am that I Am" Need a new car? Want a new house? How about healing for someone near you? A neighbor perhaps? He says "That's the I Am that I Am" Whatever need you have, and many of your wants too...That's the I AM that He Am!! So the facets of the gem.....He is healing. He is deliverance, He is blessing, He is salvation, He is comfort, He is teaching, Each facet of Him is what makes up the Gem that He is. A different face, if you will, for the same God. Each facet, like each name of God shows another side (facet) of who He is.
