God's love is not unconditional? And you cannot abide being in the presence of the wolves? It's a good thing Jesus didn't have that kind of attitude or else many would have been left out of the kingdoms doors. Have you ever considered that perhaps God placed purposely placed you in the presence of the wolves to lead them to the gates of his kingdom?

You know Angela I like that you can read and understand greek, if I could I would do the same. I actually made a post the other day in the misc. section how the word of God goes into an entirely new level if you read it in it's original languages. I cannot read and understand a whole lot of Hebrew or greek but what words I am able to look up I noticed how the words have a completely different aspect. The hebrew language especially intrigues me because their words are not simply words they have a very deep profound meaning to them even down to the sound one makes when speaking a certain word.
But as for greek that is not a language I have delved into much I want to figure out some way to teach my mind to be able to read and understand those languages but learning new languages has always been my greatest weakness, I can learn complicated math easier than I can learn a new language and I am horrible at math lol maybe I should get some kind of book called learning hebrew for the mentally handicapped lol

Lack of discernment means the inability to tell the difference. If we can't discern between both good and evil we can't discern the difference between the word of God and the word of man, and/or devil.
And that means we can't discern between true or false teachers.
And that leads to honoring evil teachers as if they were good.
I remind you that in the last days evil will be called good, and good will be called evil.
And if your eye isn't single then you will be in great darkness.
The word of God is a lamp unto our feet.
But, there are other lamps.
Brethren, the multitude of bible versions means there are a variety of lamps that shine. And that brings darkness into the assemblies of the saints and concedes ground to the enemy that seeks to blind us.
Not correctly understanding how to obtain discernment stunts the growth of the babes.
In John 4:30, Jesus defines meat as doing the will of God and finishing it.
This is why our meat is to be strong. Which isn't to say that other foods have no value and good use.
Without strong meat we will suffer a lack of discernment and will also fail to complete our understanding.
One who teaches truth appears troublesome, stern and inflexible to the babes and so they cry often, and easily.
And evil teachers prey upon the unskilled babes and approach them insincerely wearing sheep's clothing. We must not let that happen. And when the wolf in sheep's clothing comes we must bar the door, and not honor them lest the babes suppose them to be good.
I thank God that the sheep hear the voice of Jesus and not the voice of others.

Technically if we are talking about translations every bible that is not the original Hebrew and Greek would fit your description.
From I have seen in your words so far and granted I only just met you you appear to be intelligent and clearly treasure the truth but you lack proper understanding. I don't think you are ready to be a teacher of any sorts at least not yet, you have potential but not all are called to the same thing and if you attempt to do a calling you are not yet prepared for you will do more harm than good.

utter nonsense
you may have overlooked it, but this thread is not about your opinions on the King James
why take over someone else's thread? that's really rude
you can find many threads about your fav Bible already started...you can even make a new thread...but you have managed to really be obnoxious in this thread with both your comments and total disregard for the op
you are being noticed though if that was your intention
I agree with seven seas that you should probably not take over this thread and I will if you wish discuss this topic with you but I do want to point out that while I may not have the best understanding of the original hebrew and greek I do know that if you compare the words in the holy bible as you call it to the orignal language their wordings and words are not the same and thus my point in my post above
Some ppl worship education more than the Bible. Since they read books about the Bible instead of it. The Holy Spirit is not their teacher instead men's opinion rules.
To understand the simplicity of the Gospel isn't enough because it doesn't feed their ego.
The expression is can t see the forest for the trees.
Like not even understanding for God do loved the world which disintegrated into an argument about definitions abt the word "world"
That attitude reflects the salvage ignorance of the debating if how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

and let's add, if you don't mind, you don't have to speak in tongues to hear or be led by the Holy Spirit
you know, while on the subject, (and I do believe in the gifts so that is not my gripe) I think quite a few people speaking in tongues may do so too much as in whatever comes into their heads after they have prayed, they think is God
discernment out the door because they think they are in a safe zone
ok...back to regular programming
There is now a complete translation of the Hebrew OT and NT. I have it and use it often. The Complete Jewish Bible. Inexpensive, sold on Amazon. Into English. Forgot to add this. So you could call it Hebrew for dummies.
2 John 1:7 ¶ For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 ¶ If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
A great deal more care is to be exercised in whom we call brother or sister in the Lord. This is especially true when we have but a very casual knowledge of the person and their testimony for Christ.
Not everyone who comes to you saying bless you brother or sister is of God. Those who hold the truth of the word of God in reverence are worthy to be thought of as brothers and sisters in Christ or at least have the greatest prospect of such.
2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

FYI ...
Some people talk too much and think their many words are wise words
some babies don’t say anythjng and they are wiser than their supposed teachers because the are fresh in HIS PRESENCE and have kept what they began in as THE BEST PART
Just like Matt as opposed to Martha
both were loved
but Mary was content to remain at HIS feet
to her, that was sooooooo sufficient
may it be sufficient for all of us
