    I’ll pray for him.

    the Mandela Effect...

    Dave G., in answer to your question: No, I haven’t seen any changes in the KJV, but then I wouldn’t call myself an avid KJV reader. If you’re curious about my position on the subject, you can read my previous posts here (and elsewhere), however, that doesn’t really matter because I’m not here...

    The KJV Mandela effect conundrum (KJV only folks)

    Yes, one would think that would settle the argument, but I don’t think it will because the claim is that the print on the pages is actually changing while the Bible is sitting on the shelf. So, grandma’s old KJV proves nothing if one can simply claim, “Grandma’s Bible doesn’t say what it used to...

    The KJV Mandela effect conundrum (KJV only folks)

    Hi Andrew, With regard to the text of Romans 3:23 you’re probably thinking of the NIV or ESV or NASB. All of those use “fall short”. The KJV is the odd one that uses “come short”. With regard to Matthew 7:1 I’m not sure what version you’re thinking of. I have a question though. The wording of...

    the Mandela Effect...

    In the text of Gen 2 & Gen 3 there is no indication that the serpent literally caused a change to God’s word. If you mean that he contradicted God’s word or lied about God’s word then I certainly agree. If you mean that he confused Eve about God’s word then the text may support that. If you...

    the Mandela Effect...

    I find that statement ironic because an understanding of Genesis 3 makes clear what the real deception here is. In the first verse of that chapter the serpent asked Eve, “hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”. Eve obviously knew the correct answer to the question, but...

    The Mandela Effect KJV bible

    SkyWriting, you make a good point. A lot of persecution happened to Jesus’ disciples, and they experienced famine. I can’t think of a Bible passage that says they experienced wars and rumors of wars, but it wouldn’t surprise at all if they did. In the midst of talking about the wars and famine...

    The Mandela Effect KJV bible

    That makes sense. I’m not sure whether or not all the current interest in the Mandela effect is an indicator of the end times, but I do suspect we are nearing the end. In Matt 24, when the disciples asked what the sign of Jesus’ coming and the end of the age would be, Jesus replied by telling...

    The Mandela Effect KJV bible

    lee11, you ended your post with “Jesus is returning and we must be ready and prepared for him, and not be distracted by all these allusions [sic] and fallacies.” I agree completely, but I must ask then, why the whole post about Mandela effect? Why recommend that people research it on Youtube? If...

    The KJV Mandela effect conundrum (KJV only folks)

    Isaiah 11:6 says that the wolf will dwell with the lamb. The original Hebrew word used there is “zeh-av”. In every case where that word is used in the Hebrew scriptures English Bible translators have translated it as “wolf”. The Hebrew word for Lion is ”kephiyr”. Kephiyr is used a little later...

    The KJV Mandela effect conundrum (KJV only folks)

    I know I’m coming into this discussion a bit late, but I only heard about this KJV Mandela Effect issue recently, so I’m here looking it up. In answer to the original question: No, I haven’t noticed Mandela Effect with regard to the KJV, but I do find, on a daily basis, that little things are...
