Good on yah.
Yes, I am hoping to lead KJV English only believers to avoid misinterpretations by looking to the original languages.
But this would be an entirely different approach than the Modern Bible believer of our day who looks to the original languages because they use Modern lexicons instead and prefer their Modern English Bible renderings (which are contradictory and heretical).

Just here reading the replies and checking my NASB95 lol seriously though I do love reading the KJV. Shouldn’t we all?
 
so sad!!
so are you looking forward to being in the heavenly corporation?

Can't or won't describe your journey to the secret path. I actually have no concern for what you think might engage me in a silly debate about your path. You have alot to say but have never given any proof of it other than your own opinion or engagement in some secret path society.

Boo!
 
Yes because the old testament by the Holy Spirit I'm deliberately left out main key words that even blinded the religious leaders of old and example is The hidden town of Jesus title

In the NASB 1995, it says Jesus is the begotten God in John 1:18.
However, God was not begotten in the sense that he came into existence like you and me.
Yet, there are Christians who falsely believe that the Living Word (second person of the Trinity) is not eternal.

I know He is eternal.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

the Word I read tells me at some point, and I believe we are close, those that are christians will put to death those that obey.

2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh,
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

It was those following God that murdered Christ

I will not put any one in harms way, this world is insane, I read almost every day about murders in churches .

you do not like what I write, just ignore

Yes, I am just pointing out that the NASB 1995 is not saying that, and there are Christians who deny the eternal nature of the Living Word in John 1. These types no doubt love the NASB 1995 for that reason. This is why I don’t trust or like the Modern Bibles.


Side Note:

I have found 21 places where the deity of Christ is watered down in Modern versions.

People don't need to worry about original languages, they need to worry about Gods will.
Whether I'm greek, hebrew, etheopian, or chaldean, I can discern that Gods word is telling me that I aught to be honest and kind, hopeful and faithful to the Words of the Lord, if I want to be righteous.
You have summed it up succinctly.

Actually they were not following God which is what Jesus told them over and over

I never said I don't like it....I asked for further explanation which is not provided which is yr choice

We are living in dangerous times. I do not leave home without praying and I pray in the home for protection as well.

""Actually they were not following God which is what Jesus told them over and over""

and it's what I have been telling some here on this site, they are not following God.

Just read Revelation 2 & 3 the Churches of God, God's people, were a mess and can we expect it can not be that way now?

Matthew 25 show half leave and are locked out.

there is another warning from Christ, "they of your own household" and I believe that even means a brother in the family of God will turn against brother.

I have been watching for almost 60 years -- never seen the world in such a mess.
My study shows 31 AD was when He died, 2031 AD is 2000 years go back 3 1/2 years

We are insulated in North America. Millions have seen the world in a mess and dangerous place for sometimes hundreds and possibly thousands of years. The land of the free is getting less so anyway. Read between the lines...we are not actual recipents of the whole truth and nothing but the truth even though whatever admin is in power wants you think that way.

I'm sorry but I do not put timelines on things...as long as a person does not give an exact date...I consider if they want to delve into timelines to be their prerogative . We are to always be ready though.

I do not disagree. So, never deny Christ or a version that someone wants you to believe in that is not found in scripture.

But, it is still at some point

Wow. I’m still going to read the NASB on my Literal Word app along with the KJV plus my actual Bible is the NKJV. I’m not sure what part of the Bible you are referring to but I’d like to look it up if you don’t mind. From what I read is that the modern versions used older manuscripts from the 2nd and 3rd century. Oh I read that you don’t like the NKJV 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m sure sorry about that sir!! lol

And yet there are believers who think we can lose/forfeit/walk away from eternal life. KJV, is very adamant about our eternal security.

How can one who reads the KJV and believe in loss/forfeit/walk away from eternal life?

Only those who don't really believe in Christ's finished work.

Salvation is conditional. Abide in Christ. Continue in the faith! That Calvinistic belief that says you are once saved always saved is a lie. I’m sure about it because scripture teaches us to abide in Christ. Losing your salvation like a pair of car keys is not possible!
We have warnings upon warnings of who will not inherit the kingdom of God. It’s not written to unbelievers. It’s written for us who believe. The body of Christ! 😁

Just caught your comment and felt the need to reply.

17These people are as useless as dried-up springs or as mist blown away by the wind. They are doomed to blackest darkness. 18They brag about themselves with empty, foolish boasting. With an appeal to twisted sexual desires, they lure back into sin those who have barely escaped from a lifestyle of deception. 19They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you. 20And when people escape from the wickedness of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again, they are worse off than before.
21It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and
then reject the command they were given to live a holy life.

22They prove the truth of this proverb: “A dog returns to its vomit.”g And another says, “A washed pig returns to the mud.”

So I would assume you believe once a person repents and is baptized and obeys and lives a Holy life, if they return to sin "willfully" and will not repent -- God is still going to allow this unrepentant sinner in to His family? Nope!

I hope I have misunderstood and if I have please forgive me.

Amen! I love the parable of the Prodigal Son. He threw away his inheritance but he returned to his father. 🙌
