God is the ALMIGHTY, and has indeed provided an English version pure for us, it is the KJV.

Thank you for your input.
I am glad you have found a version of scripture that encourages you.
Before the KJV, was the latin vulgate equally as good, or is God limited by before KJV and post KJV.

And my main problem with the KJV is it is not the english I use today, so to understand I have to
learn another version of English.

first of all, the race as described by Paul, is what we run

the devil knows his time is short is actually a biblical thought

the Bible is also clear that things are going to get a whole lot worse then what you see now

it's not a race. it is a foregone conclusion

the lake of fire is prepared for the devil

All over the world in these last days the race is on between Satan and Jesus. Satan is destroying mainstream Christianity through liberalism and tolerance of heresies. When comparing the different versions of the Bible, we notice major differences. For example, In Matthew chapter 17 (KJV) Jesus talks about casting out a devil...

Matthew 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

This verse is not in the NIV. What scripture do we suppose the devil would like to take out from the word of God? the one that talks about about prayer and fasting, so no one can cast him out.

There is less anointing in many versions, they are watered down, verses omitted. The devil can't completely destroy the word of God, so what did he do? he compromised it as was his device from the beginning...

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

It is amazing the amount of different Bible versions out there. A recent trip to the Bible section in the book store revealed so many as the men's devotional, the Catholic, the NIV, not even sure if there was a KJV but did see a NKJV, amplified, message bible, ESV, and the list goes on. If Satan can get us out of unity, not having a scripture that's the same. What Bible would a beginner know to choose, they may be overwhelmed and walk away. What dis-unity and confusion this brings.

-God bless!
God is not the author of confusion.

I think satan likes to run interference and will do everything he can to limit the word of God. Including proliferation of corrupt bible versions.

GOd is light and in him there is no darkness at all, no shadow of his turning.

I would not recommend the NIV, but people buy it because its so readily available. I was given an NIV study bible by a well meaning christian and tried to read it but it made no sense to me. I was a new christian and wondered why I was not getting it. GOd impressed on me I had to read the KJV. So I asked the Bible shop for a copy, they had one that was free and gave to me, and God opened my eyes to scripture.

I read the KJV, and use it, but I will not say anything about the other translations for I am sure they claim Jesus as Lord and Savior, and the Gospel of Christ, and to be led of the Spirit acting Christlike.

The KJV has 66 books in it like the modern translations.

But out of curiosity.

It is the word of God, and He wants His word going out to the public so they can learn the truth.

If they say that the KJV has flaws, and outdated, and the modern versions correct are they saying that nobody had the whole truth of the Bible until the modern versions came out.

And if the KJV has the 66 books why weren't they translated correctly to the whole truth.

And if God wants His word to be known so people can know the truth, and the KJV has flaws what did they use back then to understand the whole of God's word, and what else was available if we only hear of people using the KJV until the modern translatons, for that is all I know they used the KJV that has 66 books.

But mainly that nobody had the whole truth of God's word until the modern translations out of all the years that the word of God had been out.

But I would like to know the flaws that people say there is so I will know.

It is like Jehovah's witness saying we have truth, or the Mormon Church, or Scientology, that started not too long ago, but you mean to tell me that nobody had the truth until they came out.

Out of all the years the word of God has been around nobody had the whole truth until the modern translations, and what did they use back then besides the KJV that had the whole truth, and if God wants His word to be known and the KJV was the popular Bible for many years why was it not translated wholly correct if it is the word of God.

Even a heathen that acknowledges the God of Israel can translate it correctly if that is all God can use to do the job, which they may interpret it differently in places, but it can be translated correctly, which look at the Catholic Church that goes by the KJV, or the modern versions, but they do not interpret many scriptures correctly.

For king Nebuchadnezzar was a heathen king, but he acknowledged the God of Israel as the greatest God of all the gods, and proclaimed throughout his kingdom to acknowledge the God of Israel, and anybody that said anything amiss against the God of Israel shall be cut in pieces, and their house made a dunghill, and because of that Babylon flourished, and is the greatest Gentile kingdom ever referred to as gold, and riding on eagle's wings because of the revelation of God, until his son blew it and the kingdom was stripped from Babylon and given to the Medes and Persians.

No nation did it correctly in the truth but Israel when they were in the truth, for all Gentile kingdoms mingled the truth of the God of Israel, and heathen ways together including America that acknowledges the God of Israel, but allows all religions to be practiced there including Satanism, the occult, and the new age movement, and witchcraft.

What did they use back then when the KJV came out to have the whole truth of God's word, for nobody had the whole truth of God's word out of all the years it has been out until the modern versions came out.

I would like to know what is these flaws of the KJV so I will know.

The KJV translators were sure not afraid to claim Jesus as Lord and Savior, the Gospel of Christ, to be led of the Spirit acting Christlike, and having faith, confessing Christ, so why did not everything fall in to place, and it was not translated wholly correct if they confessed the essentials to be saved, and God wants His word to be known, and it has 66 books, and was the popular Bible for many years.

Jesus is at the start line and finish line at the same time.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord Rev.1:8

I don't think bible translations mean much, other than being able to understand some better than others. The way to be saved is the same in all of them. The differences seem to be peripheral things and not salvation dependent.
