What we really need, instead of this or that version of the Bible, is the proper teacher.
1 John 2:27: "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."
Whatever Bible you have will suffice. Praise God!

Lol. You did not answer the jist of my question.
And EG never said to interpret any bible according to EG, He said we should interpret it according to the word Using language which is applicable and understandable to all people who speak it. Yet keeping the same meaning.
Do you not think we can do that?

Lol.. So in other words, a child are oven an adult instead of being given a word which is applicable and easily read to them, should study an old outdated text. And use ther “word to interpret itself”
ie, instead of th Bible saying, and they spoke in different languages, so that each person could say, these men speak to us in our own language) we should keep the word “tongue” because the KJV has it.
tyhis is why this CULT is so unbelievable. (And yes I call it a cult. That is what it is.)
There is your problem folks. God does not want us to easily read his word in our own language, he wants us to read it in words we can not understand (even modern day greek words are not the same as greek used in christs day)

[SUP] [/SUP]Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
God never promised it would be easy studying and understanding His word. Humble yourself. God wants us to approach His word with a believing heart. There are many things I do not understand, but I believe them.

your right, God never promised it would be easy.
But God did not make it harder by demanding we study an old outdated unspeakable by the general public interpretation of his word in order to make it harder.
I remember growing up being told the KJV was th only good version, all others were flawed. But I do not remember such nonsensical arguments being used as you used, Or maybe they did, and I was just to young to understand how unsensical they were.

At the church you attend, does the preacher simply read the KJV, or does he expound on it? If the latter, does he expound in 16th/17th century English or in 20th/21st century English? If your children have a question about something in the Bible, do you simply read it to them or do you explain it in contemporary English?
And since you're so confident about the KJV's internal dictionary, what do you do with a term that appears only once?

Right. My point, however, was that they trusted in the scriptures as the Word of God and even if they didn't understand some of the words, they trusted that the Holy Spirit was presenting God's message to them.
I have no problem with other translations as long as I compare them side by side with the KJV. I will never know Hebrew nor original Greek but I trust what I read from scripture to be God's Word and message to a fallen world.
