The King John Bible Area

That's right, this is the King John Bible Area, and what it means is simple We have all heard the misquotes and misconceptions that people claim as accurate.

Usually, we can simply chuckle a bit and go on with our lives, but in many cases, people are severely harmed by implied doctrines which are far from accurate. As Christians, it is our responsibility to have "studied to show ourselves approved..."(2 Tim.2:15) but often fail to do so!

The results of a lack of understanding and compassion will come back to haunt us if we aren't careful, because we will be held accountable. The topics linked below will open the door for your own input to us if you care to do so, and perhaps you'll become that "angel" someone meets "unawares."

Which version of the Bible do we use? Honestly, we use a variety. True, it is said that only the King James Bible is the valid one, but I must take exception to that. There are at this time, in publication at least three versions of the KJV to choose from. The original 1611 version was followed by a later translation, and now we have the New King James Version. Why? Each version was to be a more accurate and easier to read version, according to the scholars and of course, the publishers!

The truth is, that as archeology contributed to our knowledge of the Semitic peoples and their cultures, the first important misnomer was corrected. There was never a separate "Biblical" language used. Also, the number of documents that were discovered, added to the total available manuscripts etc. that were available for study and comparison of the ancient texts which were never intended to be Christian in the first place.

Christianity as we know it today is a "modern" religion in the scheme of time. From this has emerged some even more modern and outright dangerous forms of religions claiming validity that we must also account for. As a result, we must study and compare, as did those first precious translators, as much text as we can avail ourselves of, in order to be as well equipped as it is possible to be.   2 Tim. 3:16&17 allows for both good and bad material ("for reproof") if we search for true enlightenment. How else can we properly expose and prove others wrong? This is particularly important when it comes to dealing with many tracts, The New World Translation and The Book of Mormon.

The mature Christian will pray, and then confidently rely upon the guidance and protection of The Holy Spirit, so as to know what is true and false!!!
