I’m watching videos about the authenticity of the KJV Bible .” A detailed collection of “impossible notes that display the miraculous inspiration and preservation of Gods word to mankind.”

The copyright argument is a very strong argument against the new versions. The fact that unless there is major changes they would not get copyrights and could not publish their new versions.

Let me preface by saying I enjoy listening to you, and I respect and admire you, and your position on just about everything I’ve come across. Your trust in some of the medical ideologies/procedures may be an exception. I especially appreciate your Biblical earth work!

On page 45 of the book referenced in this article, you wrote “…Notice how Satan leaves off the last four words…” Then you write,

““For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways” (Psalms 91:11 AV)”

and beneath it:

“”For it is written, For he shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee.” (Luke 4:10 AV)”

Luke’s meaning is absolutely clear ~ with or without the last four words. To say it’s Satan, makes no sense in the context you’ve given, unless you are indicating that even King James had the scriptures translated without a pure heart, and that he was not above allowing “adding or taking” (letting Satan in, so to speak) and that it’s not only modern day translators prone to possible inconsistencies. We’ve read that may be the case, and that some modern translations HAVE corrected KJV from the ancient texts. It’s difficult to be certain since we have no originals…

You can sit on your mountain of privilege and spout off about those of us reading and distributing all but the KJV going to hell or being heretics, but that shows little faith in our Father. He ALONE knows the heart. He can provide Truth in any context as He promises His word will be preserved. I’d certainly rather read something that flows in my own spoken language (I don’t speak Old English), and I’m sure there are MANY misunderstandings by KJV only folks because we DON’T speak that way, or even use the same vocabulary in many cases.

Here at the bottom of the mountain, I work with street kids (all male) ~ some lucky to be alive, with bullet wounds to prove it, others who have killed, or tried to kill others in the streets. Drugs are the driving force behind everything. Some have no family to speak of ~ or worse, have families with members who have abused and raped them for years - or sold them for the same to fuel their own demons, until corrupt CYS agencies remove them. That rarely improves their lives. By the time they get to me, some are a mess and often can’t read above a 3rd grade level. KJV?! Laughable. They have limited vocabulary when it comes to everyday English! I’ve seen adults walk away from the KJV Scriptures because they can’t read & comprehend; they become exasperated and give up. I do what I can to teach these kids about Jesus and provide them with a Bible ~ whatever I have in the collection I’ve managed to assemble. The simplest is best. I let God worry about helping them read and understand it, and changing their hearts and lives. I’ve even given out The Adventure Bible <gasp!>. Comic book style isn’t my first choice, but when you see a 15-year-old thrilled because he’s “read” and understands a little bit about God or Jesus, I see God at work. I just bought a big box of “365 Read Aloud Bible Stories” written quite simply. Some kids are convinced, and have accepted, they’re going to hell because they know going home means the streets ~ where they’ll be forced to live “accordingly”. It’s heartbreaking! And heartbreaking to get word when one has killed, been killed, overdosed, or done something that means decades in prison. God alone knows their hearts.

If you know of a suitable resource ~ book, brief Bible study, or whatever, that would SIMPLY explain to teens what Christianity is, what it takes to be saved, and how to live for God, I’d love to hear your recommendations (maybe you could write something?!). KJV just can’t cut it; I’d love to write something but am intimidated by the idea of speaking for God and not getting it all accurate. I already worry about saying things that are incorrect and leading these kids wrong somehow! I pray constantly for God to guide me and to protect them. Thanks for hearing me; blessings on you always.

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. -- Psa 12:6-7 - 1611 KJB.

Agreed, Mystery Babylon has been trying to destroy this book from the beginning. But all who love the truth and desire wisdom, receive it from the LORD: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. -- Prov 2:6

This is just one - and a more refined & subtle example - of the many ways that society, indeed, Humanity, is being grossly degraded and perverted. The evidence is abundant & all around.

The reason is because we are in the Kali Yuga, the Age of No Reason, where everything good is turned on its head, where spirituality is denied & rejected and evil accepted as the norm.

The bad news is that (they say) there are another 435,000 years of the Kali Yuga before the dawning of a new, Golden Age. The good news is that there is always a rope out of the swamp and the KGV, if interpreted at the deepest of its seven levels of understanding, could form part of that escape.

PS I'm also waiting for someone qualified to explain those levels.
