• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

So I just joined the forum. I was brought up a Congregationalist but I've also been a member in Baptist and Presbyterian churches as well as other churches. I like to use the King James Bible of 1611 over any of the modern versions.

Hi Photon;
welcome to CF; May the Lord Jesus guide you here as well as in the world; and may you find friends and what ever you need from the Lord here.

I do have a question for you; do you like music--Praise & Worship music?

I have found; in times of trouble; like we have with this CV-19; that listening to; and singing along to good Christian P&W music; can bring us closer to Jesus and His wonderful peace.

Well we have a new forum here at CF just for P&W music and at the top is a directory of other Christian music threads around CF; come and take a look!:wave:

Praise and Worship Music

Welcome. I never learned 17th century English, so I avoid the KJV. I like the Berean myself. The best Bible is the one that you are studying.

Hi there, and welcome to Christian Forums.

I was raised in an atheist home, an unbeliever for the first half of my life, but when I was converted to Christianity I joined the same Baptist church as the evangelist who patiently led me to Christ. I remained a member there for ten years before finally leaving in 2021 to join a Reformed church (very similar to Presbyterian). I heavily relied on the KJV (and NKJV) for several years before replacing them with a far more accurate translation. My preference now is for (1) the New English Translation, (2) the English Standard Version, and (4) the New Living Translation.

I'm aware of some Baptist churches that rely on the KJV (mine did) but I've found that most of them use the NIV, and I'm not aware of any Presbyterian churches that use the KJV (they usually prefer ESV, NASB, or RSV).

Anyway, welcome to the forums and I hope you enjoy the discussions found here.
