Is 'KJV Only" a denominational issue?

[Albion]

I think that's right, BUT we ought also to note that to put the KJV on something of a pedestal does make sense in a way that would not apply with any other translation.

Isn't it wonderful that we all have opinions???? I guess you know that I have never been wrong before!!!!

My "opinion" is still that Christians who are serious about the Bible tend to gravitate toward a single version, which results in the tendency to identify versions that differ from their self-chosen norm as “bad.”

In reality, Christians have been blessed with a wide variety of fine versions. When used together and compared to one another, with an understanding of the basic issues in Bible translation, they can greatly enhance one’s Bible study experience.

Precisely. Add to that the vast array of online biblical resources and we are the most blessed Christians indeed!

What is the LXXE?

It is a real expensive Ford Tarus.

Using "Bible Hub" with its good number of parallel versions for comparison is great to get a good overall view of what a verse or passage of Scripture is saying.

since the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek were in existence, Jerome wrote the first Old and New Testament in a language known as Latin Vulgate. so essentially, Latin Vulgate in the Fourth Human Language associated to the Word of God. that was around the 5th Century, 1,100 years later, English, German, and French translated the Latin Vulgate into their own Languages.

so the KJV is basically a 5th Language translation...

read the Aramaic and only certain portions of the Greek if you want what Yeshua actually said

As some of you know, I strongly oppose the idea that it is better to learn foreign languages for the sake of exact transliteration than simply buy a readable version of the Bible. Reason being, of course, if you can't understand the Bible now, you won't read it later. I want to know if "KJV only" churches belong to specifc denominations or random pastors at any kind of church prefer it. Can i just look at a church name and assume they only read the KJV?

Here this might help with your question:
