We can never earn anything good from Him. It is all by His grace.So how do we earn of Him and His truth..
I've never studied the KJV in any depth. There are a couple of instances where the literal translation is changed by modern translators. Galatians 2:20 is one of them. I have never found any suggestion that Jesus is not God in the flesh.The changes in most of the new bibles are an attack on the doctrinal beliefs that seperated the Protestants from catholics. Little changes to the text and foot notes that change the meaning.
The new bibles attack the divinity of Christ. I like the KJV..
The multitude of Manuscripts used for the first 1500 years after Christ is what the KJV is based on. Texts receptus.
God protected this text.
Forgive me if I am being slow here, but what do you mean by the single word "read"? Are you encouraging people to read God's word, or did you mean something else?read
One says "a virgin" and the others say "the virgin." What's the problem?I stick with the KJV, it's linked to the king we overthrew and it says it's not corrupted (instead of peddle for instance). I believe every word it. Satan (god of this world) is suttle......
Just one example, there are thousands.

I wonder if somebody who knows biblical Hebrew could tell us what the Hebrew for Isaiah 7:14 actually means, "a virgin" or "the virgin"?One says "a virgin" and the others say "the virgin." What's the problem?
I don't know, but I fail to see what difference it makes; it doesn't change the meaning one bit.I wonder if somebody who knows biblical Hebrew could tell us what the Hebrew for Isaiah 7:14 actually means, "a virgin" or "the virgin"?
I imagine the question to ask is this: How many virgins have ever conceived? If several, then it would make a difference whether one said "a virgin" or "the virgin," because we wouldn't know which of the virgins who conceived was being referred to if "a virgin" was used. On the other hand, if Mary conceiving Jesus was, as the bible indicates, a unique event, and no woman other than Mary has ever conceived while still a virgin, then she must be the one meant, regardless of whether "a" or "the" is used.For those who don't the difference, I'll make a note of that.
There are indeed differences. The existence of differences does not indicate that the KJV is correct and the others are wrong, inferior, or corrupted.I stick with the KJV, it's linked to the king we overthrew and it says it's not corrupted (instead of peddle for instance). I believe every word it. Satan (god of this world) is suttle......

He comes on from time to time. Read just marks his place for next time to begin reading at this point. It's just a marker.Forgive me if I am being slow here, but what do you mean by the single word "read"? Are you encouraging people to read God's word, or did you mean something else?
Thanks for explaining. I couldn't make it fit with any of the posts which came before his.He comes on from time to time. Read just marks his place for next time to begin reading at this point. It's just a marker.
