I have to say that I too cannot read your posts, GRACE. You use too many different types of emphasis, and as a result your posts are confusing. I hope this is helpful.
Bellemira, thanks so much for your
helpful input. I pray this new version will be less confusing,
An Encouragement, And Blessing to you!:
Part 1:
Grace And Peace, Precious friend(s). I believe it is a very serious matter to
determine Which version of the Bible Is The Correct Word Of God!
I am sure we All agree, do we not, that we are All going to each give an account To Him,
(2 Corinthians 5:10), According to His Gospel of Grace, To Paul (Romans 2:16), correct?
Thus, in Light of Paul's "...knowing therefore The Terror Of The LORD..." {2Co 5:11}, to me,
I humbly present why I personally believe KJV Is The Best English Bible to read/study:
(1) Q: Is It not God’s Pure And Preserved Word!?:
”The Words Of The LORD Are Pure Words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified
Seven Times. Thou Shalt Keep Them, O LORD, Thou Shalt Preserve Them from this
generation for ever.” (Psalms 12:6-7 KJB!)
Now, Comparing This, with a couple of newer versions, what do we find?
NASB: “The words of the Lord are pure words…You, Lord, will keep them;
You will protect him from this generation forever.
NIV: “The words of the Lord are flawless…You, Lord, will keep the needy
safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,...
Do these Also claim God’s “Purity And Preservation for All generations”?
They both claim pure/flawless words, but, then they both Omit Some Of:
“Preserve Them from this generation for ever” and Change words TO the noted
Different words above. How is that The Purity Of God's Preserved Word?
Q: Will The Holy Spirit, our Blessed Teacher, Help us understand The Purity
of These Words, considering these newer versions have Changed Them?
How, then, do we study And agree, As God Exhorts us?
{Diligent/Noble Berean students can find Many of These Changes {And, Also
omissions}, and Prayerfully/Carefully decide for themselves about the Purity
of God’s Words, and which version is best, for them, correct?}
(2) I personally have decided on Both The Purity And The Preservation Of
{NOT "kjv Only"}, But: All The underlying {Received Text} manuscripts/
All foreign translations from them, and The Authorized KJV in English,
for the following reasons:
Q2: Is The Following The Reason why the newer versions Cannot claim:
God’s Promise To “Preserve His Pure Word for ALL generations”?
Since the newer versions did not appear until about 1880, would not that be a
Lack Of Preservation, due to the fact that the underlying {older/better? Alexandrian}
manuscripts had to be Re-discovered/translated, Skipping the generations since 1611?
Can that be God’s Purpose For His Pure/Preserved Word?
(3) God's Pure/Preserved Word Is
Above All Else! Is It not?:
"I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise Thy Holy Name for Thy Loving-
Kindness and for Thy Truth: for Thou Hast MAGNIFIED Thy Word Above All Thy Name!"
( Psalms 138:2 KJB! )
imho, unless I am mistaken, on Judgment Day, I would Not want one of the good
deeds done in my body, to be Bad, by my claiming that corrupt/Changed/Missing
words {translated from older/hidden{UNpreserved} manuscripts into newer
easier-to-read/understand versions, are to be:
God's Pure Word, Which Is “Magnified Above All Of God’s Pure/Holy Name,”
would you, Precious friend(s)?
Finally:
IF it is true that Many {2,886?} Of God’s PURE Words are missing from
newer versions, then, IF the “version user” Cannot read Them {because They
are missing}, how is it possible then, for that one to obey God’s Exhortation:
“man Shall Not live by bread alone, But By EVERY Word That Proceedeth Out
Of The Mouth Of God!” (Matthew 4:4 cp Luke 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:3 KJB!)?
Just wondering: How can God's children of light be in agreement when
each uses a Different Problematic version?: Are we not all, By A Faithful God:
"...Called Into Fellowship With God's SON, The LORD JESUS CHRIST"
(1 Corinthians 1:9 KJB!), And, should we not all be:
"Endeavouring to keep The Unity Of God's Spirit In The Bond Of Peace!..."
(Ephesians 4:3 KJB!), obeying God's Exhortations!:
”...speak...the things which become Sound Doctrine!” (Titus 2:1
cp "Same mind And judgment!" 1 Corinthians 1:10 KJB!)?
Being faithful And Pleasing to our
LORD and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST, Correct?
