would you please at least use the original 100% 1611 version??
not that "modern" ((hence possibly corrupt!!)) 1987 KJV that the "KJV-only" crowd tosses around.
after all, we're Christians here!!
For there must bee also heresies among you, that they which are approued may be made manifest among you.
one never knows how important it may be that we use the character "u" instead of "v" when we spell "approued" -- could change essential doctrine!!

would it be fair to say that if it weren't for KJV-only threads, it would not be so clear that some people are more concerned about nit-picking the translation than the actual meaning of God's word, for example?
((for Trofimus - the idiom 'nit-picking' means being overly-concerned with inconsequential details))
I can only speak for myself. I am sure God allows some differences among believers with the same spirit. Sometimes a scripture has a locked component that is available only when God allows. Also, He wants us to help find answers among ourselves. Prov. 27:17 (NKJV): "As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend."
Going by the preface to the 1611KJV it is apparent the Greet was used for the NT. They were originally written in Greek and that is where Saul entered the picture. The OT was original Hebrew translated by Jews who lived in Jerusalem so it as close to perfect as possible.
That Bibles has a copyright so all bibles that came after that to be changed 'significantly' so they are all flawed on that one point. They might be okay to give the reader that salvation id coming but the details are not there. they are there in the 1611KJV. Even with an e-bible, understanding the whole book is easier if you can search through the text for similar passages. 24 passages that contain the term 'day of the lord' gives you a better understand of what that term means. It also allows the ones mentioned in Re:1 as being the ones the whole book was meant to be understood by as they are the generation that will be alive for the bruise to the head part of Ge:3:15. Our level of knowledge can be applied to the text in Ge:1 as referencing an old earth creation story that has God using terms that react nicely to powers of 10.
The writer of Revelation had the best chance of understanding it all. before that was Daniel but he was missing the NT text. It was said that understand and knowledge would be increased before the return. An digital bible is how knowledge is increased over the actual hardcover book version. Same words are there, finding all the cross references is impossible with anything bit the e-bible.

"1 Cor. 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you,"
This is the important part of the verse. The Corinthians strayed from Paul's original teaching. The rest of the verse develops it.
"that they which are approved may be made manifest among you."
(and that those heresies that are approved by the majority or leaders are accepted and practiced by all of you)

Doesn't this forbid associating with sinners too closely?
1Co:5:9-13:
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world,
or with the covetous,
or extortioners,
or with idolaters;
for then must ye needs go out of the world.
But now I have written unto you not to keep company,
if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator,
or covetous,
or an idolater,
or a railer,
or a drunkard,
or an extortioner;
with such an one no not to eat.
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without?
do not ye judge them that are within?
But them that are without God judgeth.
Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
This would also apply I think.
Ro:6:15:
What then?
shall we sin,
because we are not under the law,
but under grace?
God forbid.
Sins committed by a 'believer' with the expectation grace will cover it is trying to make grace a work instead of a free gift from God. You need that to be alive during the 1,000 year reign.
