1 John 4:16 God is love and He who lives in love lives in
God and God lives in Him.

This is all we need to know. Nowhere in scripture does it say
that he who know most is closest to God. Jesus scolded the
Pharisees often because they knew the laws inside out but
they did not know God. It is faith that saves us through grace
and KJV or any other version will tell us that. I have no idea
where it started that intellectualism is stronger than internalism
but it is wrong. Totally wrong. It is possible to know everything
about God and not know God. At the same time it is possible to
know little facts and yet live in the heart of God. Peter was wrong
9 times out of 10 about what Jesus said to him but still Jesus chose
Peter to feed His sheep. Jesus knew that Peter's faith would not
waver. It amuses me where pastors as televangelists tack the title
Dr. in front of their names as if to illustrate credibility. We need
to surrender to God completely and have a personal intimate relationship
with Him as the Holy Spirit is in us when we confidently accept Him.
You can know everything and be nothing to God and on the reverse side
of the coin have deep faith and be everything to God. It is absurd to
debate which bible will get you to that point.

You should have at least determined what the debate was about before opening this thread. It is not about knowing everything or not knowing everything. It is about knowing which Bible can truly be accepted as the Word of God, and which bibles cannot be accepted. As Scripture says "Prove all things. Hold fast that which is good" (1 Thess 5:21). So have you done your due diligence?

Kjv has being justified by the faith OF Christ..

NKJV and others have being justified by faith IN Christ.

A difference like this can affect things greatly

"My People perish for lack of knowledge" we should even study the Biblical original Greek and treasure all the English versions that help give better understanding. Love has a requirement of knowing the Scriptures.

You don't understand, you missed the point exactly as the pharisees did. As I stated
it is not how much you know, you can know very little but have much faith and you
will be next to God...Jesus scolded the pharisees time after time after time...they
knew much more than you do and yet they did not know God...so what I am saying
is the version of bibles is a ridiculous debate...open up your heart and surrender you
will and accept His will to lead your life...the version debate is not only absurd it is
bordering on the ridiculous...intellect proves nothing, internalization of the message
and acting within it is everything...intellectualizing the word is so far from what Jesus
taught and in fact He gave up His life so that so we would be free from laws that choke us..
Love fulfils all the law and he who lives in love lives in God and God lives i them..if anyone
thinks that knowing everything will lead them to heaven is sadly mistaken.

Rubbish...put your knowledge in your pocket and pray and pray and pray some more...
The power of God is in the Holy Spirit ...surrender to Him and all will become clear to you

Rubbish...God is God and God is love...studying is following rules...Jesus died on the cross
so that we can be rid of laws since love fulfils all the law...it is necessary for us to open
our heart and let God's love penetrate our Spirit within...scripture says the law is wrritten
upon our hearts and not on stone...rules and knowledge take us away from that spiritual
love and not bring us to it
