Why anybody use bibles that contradict one another? How can I be born again from corruptible seed?
Gonna get some heat here, but here goes...
I think the KJV needs to go. It's antiquated 17th century language that no one uses today. The newer versions are written to better comprehend what was written. It has had a really good run, but now it needs to be tossed.
No other translation, that I know of that is, has caused such a strife amongst God's ppl. When one goes so far as to say the KJV is God's word preserved for us, then that tells me all I need to know.
Ducking for cover now...

My problem with the KJVO stance is their superiority complex. It's like they cornered the market on the bible. Look at the Pentateuch for example. Moses wrote under God's inspiration, and then the scribes wrote from what Moses wrote. Then the other books were penned by the OT saints. And then scribes wrote from that. Then the scribes re-wrote from those, seeing that the copies were getting old and decayed. I can't imagine how many times the OT books have been written and re-written down through the ages. The scribes wrote so that ppl could have a copy of what the Prophets had written, seeing printing presses were not available.
And ppl have the audacity to say that the KJV IS the word of God? That's the very apex of ignorance.
