I've been hearing some things lately that even the KJV takes out some of the original things in our Bible that clarifies our Hebrew roots. It is hard to know which version to trust. I think it is most important to rely on the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. I use NKJV, by the way. I've had mine since I was 16 and have always loved it. Does it have some of those modern changes too?

It's funny you should post that, I was just on a site before I came here looking up what was wrong with the NASV (our Pastor uses it). Thanks for posting this on the ESV too. I agree! I was using the ESV for 3 or 4 yrs. before I went back to the KJB. I thought it would be a good Bible by all the hype and was impressed by the list of contributors. What first tipped me off with the ESV was the reference as Satan as the Bright & Morning Star, which of course is Jesus, not satan. Then I also noticed complete verses missing just like in the other versions, and that is what really brought me back to the KJB. I don't like things, like entire verses missing, or names, or important words like "blood". It would be nice to be able to read and understand readily the original Hebrew, but ...

It is getting "very" hard to find a KJV Bible! Look in any bookstore...the Devil is especially after our children...check out all the "neat" looking decorated Bibles for Children...none of them KJV!!!

My Pastor was speaking of end-times this morning...you can't help it, can you with all that is going on?

Good post!

Have a blessed Lord's Day!

I just found your website and so far I really love it. I've gone back to read some of your older post and really appreciate how honest you are. My husband is thinking of changing careers and become a preacher so I'm in prayer for both of us! Thank you again and I will be back I'm sure. Lynn Marie

Amen! Good post!

To be honest the KJV is no better than any other translation, it also contains many mistranslations and errors. That's why we have to be like Bereans and study...there are many resources on-line where you can find the original Bible and see the different meanings of Greek words. Always remember that when you are reading a Bible translation, the person who translated already has their own ideas about what it should say and the translation will slant in that direction. Food for thought.

$1000.00 reward if you can produce the original Bible

No copy of the original autographs exist
The original autographs were never in a Bible (bible means a collection of books)
You seem very ignorant of what a translation is, ever noticed how much of the NT is a translation?
For example, Acts 22 Paul speaks in Hebrew, and Luke translated it and wrote it down in Greek. Are you questioning the validity of that chapter?

Sorry, I don't bow to false god of Greek scholarship, nor human reasoning.

Anonymous,
What I am going to say here I am not saying with any malice. When you were first saved (if you are saved -- only you and God know for sure), you believed the Bible, didn't you? You believed what God said, that you are a sinner deserving of eternal ****ation, and that Jesus Christ, God's Son, shed his own sinless blood in your place on Calvary. Then some "educated" person came along and taught you to doubt God's Word. And now it's your mission to help others to doubt it, too. What kind of a mind casts doubt on God's Word? I'll give you a hint: read Genesis 3.

Like Bible Man above said, there is no such thing as the "original" Bible. There are manuscripts in the original languages, but there are thousands of copies of them, and 5% of those differ from each other in doctrine and in content. The KJV was translated from the texts of the other 95%, those that agree with eachother. Guess which manuscripts every modern Bible was translated from? Yep, the 5% that are full of inconsistencies. If you are reading/studying anything other than the KJV today, it's no wonder you believe the Bible is full of errors.

When you hear someone say that the "original" Greek says such and such, he is either lying or he doesn't know what he is talking about. Ask him WHICH Greek he is talking about. I wonder if he knows there are literally THOUSANDS of Greek manuscripts in existence today for the New Testament alone.

God said he would preserve his WORDS, Psalm 12. If there is not a Bible on earth that is perfect and preserved without error, we might as well burn our Bibles, turn all the churches into libraries and coffee shops, and go out and live like the devil. God's words were given by inspiration and preserved miraculously through the ages by God himself. Is he so uninvolved that he unable to keep his Word?? No. He is STILL preserving his words, and he knows who are the enemies of truth. Those who have added to or taken away from his Word will have their reward. Revelation 22:18,19; Deuteronomy 4:2
