Yes, I have compaired the NIV to the JKV the New KJV and the modern english Translation the American Standard version and the New American Standard version. I find all these are very similar, some are easier to read of course, but I always stuck with the King James for memorizing and teaching. I also used the NIV or some other modern version for my straight through reading, but have read the KJV through many times, but not as much as I used the other versions. \n\nI did notice some words were changed to make it appear to say something else, but when you read everything in context it is hard to take it out of context.  Especially when you looked at other passeges. \n\nI never liked or trusted the Schofield notes.\n\nI did buy one NIV study bible with notes and found it very desturbing because the scripture would be very plain, but the Scholars added their own intrepretation and even claimed that the Apostle or writer was wrong and did not understand their own scripture. \n\nPersonally, I feel it is better to use a bible without notes. That is just my opinion.

I tell people that if the King James Bible could not make holy people after 400 years then the other version will not either.  Jesus said in Luke 16:17 "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, then one title of the law to fail."  Well what is a title?  Smaller then lice, even smaller.  Jesus also said in Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth shall pas away, but my words shall not pass away."  Why are we looking for a new bible that is missing over 4,000 words and scriptures twisted?  The simple reason is because Christianity today and from the time the apostles left have been seduced, and bewitched by these soph called bible scholars.  People in the churches are sick and gettting sicker with no truth no bible just socials, holidays and funny teachings and funny bibles outside of the truth the King James. \n\nThe bible says in Galatians 1:6-9 "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; butt there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ. (The King James Bible) But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you then that which we have preached unto you let him be accursed.  As we said before, so I say now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you then that which ye have received let him be accursed."  Today we are stuck with the same serpent that deceived Eve in the garden the same slick subtile teachings in all denominations, TV, Radio, Internet ministries.  And God and Father of Jesus gave them strong delusions to believe a lie because they refuse the love of the truth 2nd Thessalonians 2:10 "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the love of the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."  This is what the churches today have pleasure in unrighteousness.  Jesus said in Luke 8:14 when he talked about the parable of the seed and the sower of the different ground that it would end up on. "And that which fell among thorns are they which, when they have heard, go forth and are chocked with cares and riches and pleasure of this life and bring no fruit to perfection."  The problem with Christianity today is that they don't bring forth fruit unto perfect but unto death.  These new bibles that are out are worse.  Things that the church never endorse 25-30 years ago when the King James was around and a little truth of still around, (Not the whole as man still perverted the bible back then as well) the churches are endorsing all types of sin and iniquity.  Why? 2nd Cor. 11:14-15 "And no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."  Christians are so seduced by the devil who transformed himself as an angel of light bewitching the people the Greek was wrong or the Hebrew or the whatever was wrong, so he has bible scholars to seduce people not to believe the bible.  The devil's workers will always go opposite of the bible, as a matter of fact they don't read the bible any more and they tell people a lie not to worry about the bible and give them a sermon like Eve had in the garden of Eden.  Yes the devil know his bible but he doesn't want you to know your bible because he got kicked out of heaven.  \n\nRevelation 22:18-19 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:  And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of th

Your question starts with a faulty presupposition.  The King James version has many flaws and does not reflect the best of Textual Criticism that we know today.  That beind said, no significant anti-gay passages were added and the 6 main texts that are used to argue against it are found in the original Hebrew and Greek.

Is it me, or does Pangel always talk gobbledygook? LOL. Anyway, no, of course it is not a sin to use your mind that God gave you, to try and analyze things for yourself. The Bible was written thousands of years ago by many men, and much of it is NOT history, but rather allegory and symbolism. You are smart not to take it literally. After all, Jesus was always questioning the Pharisees about the law, and finding fault in it, Right?

"...can it be backed up with scripture?"\n\nCertainly not; it's not Scriptural.  It's a pseudo-religious phrasing of an old conservative attitude.

No.  I pretty much still go every day.\n\nBut I think it does cause a lot more plagiarism with pastors stealing sermons...or at least "sermon seeds"...from online sources...

My dad is a Pastor for three churches in the black hills of south Dakota, he has made many misprints in his 32 years in the ministry! for instance in the bulletin: (from a list of cleaning supplies needed) instead of toilet bowl cleaner he put "bowel cleaner" and (for our college ministry called Hope For The Future) it read "there will be no Hope For The Future after next week" one time instead of saying he may be seated for the next hymn, he said "you may be heated for the next sin" those are just the tip of the ice berg!!!!

Not at all. I used to feel wierd about it, but then I met one of my pastors who is a woman. She's also a close personal friend of mine and she inspires me alot. As it is I do teach, but I would love to one day preach God's word. It would be awesome!

i thought he quit\n\njust remember every time some one quotes a bible without telling you how they feel about it they are simply cutting and pasteing a document that has undergone changes by man from copy to copy \nthe last page of revelations in the king james version was actually a translation from a greek translation in 1611 of a latin version from the greek but from a greek copy,\nunlike the rest which was all from the greek new testement that had been publishes in 1520 or so\nthe old testement pretty much has been the same since the dead sea scrolls\n\nso dont trouble yourself over a christian troll who cuts and pastes

The bible is designed for anyone to read it... but it can be hard to follow.. that's why we have churches. Just beware of the churches that bash every other church and "enforce" THEIR rules (most baptist churches)

Yes!  Pick a sucker group, claim you've read every word of the Bible and believe it in its literal sense.  State that you read somewhere in there, like John 4:52, that if your followers don't support your ministry financially, they'll go to h*ll.

Dude, that was awesome. Thanks for the laugh!!!! If that "pastor" had a church and you came and did not convert, he would "bust a cap in your ass for the lord!! beeatch"

birdman,\nI think that one of the most influencial Gay people in all the annals of history is . . . . King James (Prince James) who was responsible for the translation of the King James Bible. He was about as Gay as anyone could be. \n\nIt's not like there weren't any bibles before that, there were. The Great Bible was the main bible of the time, but the King James became more used sometime after that. \n\nBut look at it's influence upon so many people, for so many years. I have no doubt that King James was a saved man, though Gay, and could quote verses and argue effectively with the clergy of the day. He would look forward to the chances that he got to do so.\n\nStrangely enough, those that are most strict with their condemnation of Gays, use the King James Bible, while saying proudly that they use the "inerrant word of God" the King James 1611 version. \n\nAnd they don't.\n\nNo. The 1611 King James Bible had the Apocrypha in it. The Puritans decided that it should not be in there, and so it was taken out.\n\nSo the Fundies that condemn Gays are:\n1) Wrong about the Bible.\n2) Wrong about condemning Gays, rather than presenting the Gospel to them\n3) Are using a Bible that was funded lovingly by a Gay \nking.\n\nI call that VERY influential!
