Does that mean you don't like the truth, or you would rather not be free?
Yes indeed. Whether we apply "the Truth" to Christ Himself, or to God's truth as revealed in His Word, the truth does make us free in numerous ways.
What Christians should clearly understand is that there is an ongoing battle between the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness. Between Light and Darkness. Between Truth and Lies.
Today all the mainstream media (MSM) worldwide, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc, are bound and determined to promote lies on a daily basis, and bring people into bondage. Instead of news they are feeding propaganda and promoting hatred for all that is good, right, and decent. At the same time there has been a significant increase in False Teachers, False Apostles, and False Prophets, promoting religious and spiritual lies to bring Christians into bondage. Many of the books being sold in *Christian* bookstores are also turning away from the truth and promoting lies.
In view of all this the only solid rock of truth is the Holy Bible. And among all the Bible versions, only the King James Bible meets the criteria for a faithful English translation which truly represents the original Scriptures. This is where you will find God's truth.
Is there a distinction of truth?
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Joh 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Much of your post is good, though it assumes the intent of the OP. The part quoted is merely your opinion and is otherwise unadulterated divisive hogwash.
Yup. Lot of fake stuff going around in christianity. At times its embarrasing whats done in the name of christianity, BUT there is nothing else i can think of to call christians than.. well.. christians.
I agree the KJV is the best translation ever made. its the standard. Its produced more fruit than any other bible.
And more important than that its based on the right manuscripts.
I am glad to see that in foreign languages there are new translations being made from the majority text as well, one was just completed here I dont know if its good or not I have to check it out. (Often times translators translate their bias into the text. This didnt happen in the KJV, but for example: IF Lutherans translate a bible, expect lutheran bias)
The translators of the KJB used a transliteration of baptize (which means 'immersed') because the prevailing Anglican church sprinkled babies . . . and a controversy of that magnitude would like cause good ol' James to lop off a few heads on the committee.
It does make it difficult now to explain the word picture behind the ordinance.
The death (going in to the water)
The burial (full immersion picturing the grave)
Resurrection to newness of life (coming out of the water)
Hebrews speaks of 'sprinkling our hearts with Christ's Blood, but it isn't used in any context of baptism.

No my friend, not at all. I will reserve judgment until this thread gets some legs.
