I liked good Newws for Modern Man. Nice illustrations too. But churches complained the title was sexist. They coul dhave changed it to 'Good News for Modern People.' Instead they let it go out of print. What a shame. Now they have something called 'The Message.' That's what the churches say is better. But it doesn't have the great illustrations (

Use an old dictionary.
Spend time.you will learn more in the long run.
If you use perverted versions,then in no time they will come with a revised amplified version of kjv too,that will be having much verses removed.
Learning is not easy,but it turns into sweetness in the long run.
Everything is not cyber influenced.More are the things that work in the already existing way than the post modern(brainless) way.
i work in the web world,i don't give much emphasis to it than it should be given.After work,i ditch it and only take it later for work.The latest trend for learning things takes people away from God,than taking closer.
Use an old dictionary,and be willing to sweat and learn.
God Bless.

I agree with you Ji.
When I was 18 two Reformed Priests (Presbyterian and Lutheran) convinced me that the Bible was written thousands of years ago and we don't know who actually wrote it. Since the professionals didn't believe it I turned my back on Christ and the Bible. I went Hindu/Buddhist. After experiencing God at the age of 40, I started studying the Bible, and sat with 7 versions to get a better understanding, and found that the different versions are not compatible and in some places contradict each other. Going back into the historical record I ended with being convinced that the Majority Text and therefore the KJV (in English) is the most accurate. The old style language is there to better show what the Greek and Hebrew language is implying. Even in the 1600s the use of "ye" and "thou" etc. had been dropped for the current modern usage of "you." Accepting the archaic language has a definite purpose can maybe help overcome the barrier to reading the KJV. Saying "You are saved" can be plural or singular, but "Ye are saved" and "Thou art saved" makes that clear.
The older terms used are found in a good dictionary as you pointed out, Ji, and there are not that many. I have a Strong's dictionary that helps me interpret difficult passages. Quite soon I was KJV literate and I have no difficulty with the KJV's English.

When I first became a Christian, I used "The Living Bible" for a couple of years, found it very understandable, then moved on to the Revised Authorised Version, which unfortunately is no longer in print.
So, have a look at "The Living Bible" and also the Amplified Bible is worth having a look at...
Yahweh Shalom...
