One can take one version that they like and the KJV works for this too like the ESV and NASB...etc..but then you go to the original Greek to help get a fuller understanding and verify what is said. The Holy Spirit will guide us when to go check out the word or the Greek structure too. It is a blessing from our Lord to have at our finger tips access to the nuances of Greek and Hebrew. A study of the perfect tense meaning will revolutionize the scriptures for us.
BUT to insist that the KJV is the "only" word of God is just plain spiritual ignorance gone completely to seed and is divisive.

You do realize this makes man the final authority. You can claim "Holy Spirit" but ultimately man decides which definition of the Greek word to go with. Besides, which Greek manuscripts? The Alexandrian or the Testus Receptus? Either way, they are not the originals. You are still trusting in God's promise to preserve His pure words for all generations.
The Holy Spirit is the final authority and not man....that's the great part in all this......to rest completely on the translators of the KJV is to make "them - men" the final authority and not the scriptures from where the translation came from originally.
Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will teach you all things....I believe Him. I trust Him!

Well, Sir, This is the point in time where you and I part ways. You don't know what you are talking about and speak as if you do.
Are you reaching the lost, or fortifying your position?

Yes..now the Holy Spirit needs the King James "version" before He can teach anybody anything.....what did He do without the KJV for 1600 years?...what did He do with all the other non-English speaking people throughout history without the KJV to use?.
...this just gets weirder and weirder...I have to get out of this crazy house...LOL

Sadly, you are so mistaken. All sorts of people in those days did just what Abe did, they offered up their children as sacrifices to a variety of gods. It was a common practice, and surely something quite familiar and well-known to Abe. That kind of an act on his part proved nothing. Everyone else was doing the same thing all across the land. (Why do you think we have no record of him saying, "You want me to do WHAT !?!?!?")
What we are told was Abe's distinction, and what proved to be "righteousness" for him is that "he believed this particular God."
It wasn't the performance of a common and accepted "action" (ritual), it was his relational understanding of who this particular God was that made all the difference.

Amen.
This is Abraham's thoughts during the whole thing.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, [SUP]18 [/SUP]of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,”[SUP][d][/SUP] [SUP]19 [/SUP]concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
Thats true faith, vs belief,,
