The Holy Bible
Hi there Brother Bill,
There are many different Bible versions out there. What is your take on this?
Looking out on the Bible publications, which account for thousands of versions, I have made this rule of
thumb for my studies of God's Word.
1. God has stated in His Word, He would watch over His Word and cause it
to be what He said it would be.
2. As long as I seek His face and trust Him, I believe He will show me any erroneous
words or subjects.
3. It is my personal opinion that the best version is the King James Version of 1611 AD, with
the understanding, scholars down through time have striven to improve the language of past generations. With the improvement
of modern understanding, God has kept true His intent and the content of His Word pure.
4. Having said the above,
I use many of the Bible translations available today as study aids, comparing each of them against the King James Version.
If I find the meaning of the translation to differ from the King James Version, I disregard the translation that pertains
to that particular entity. Having been Born Again through the teaching of the King James Version, I am partial to its
precious truths. Through it's teachings, I have come to not only knowing about God and His Son, but have come to
know God and His Son, Jesus.
