How Important is The Bible TO YOU?
If modern English translations, such as the New American Standard
Version, New International Version, New King James Version, and Today's
English Version were easier to understand, then the Holy Spirit's message
to the Christian would flow freer and accomplish greater spiritual victories
in the lives of God's people on an individual basis. Yet it is sadly evident
that this is not happening.

2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

God has used the KJV because it is His Word, which He has providentially watched over. Even though the KJV only goes back to 1611, nevertheless it is based upon the text and versions which preceded it. These texts and manuscripts are the ones that Bible believers have used down through the ages. It is a known fact that 85% to 95% of all ancient manuscripts are in basic agreement with the KJV, but not with the modern versions.

It's a fair question and has a straightforward answer. Bible societies publishing the KJV also publish in almost every other known written language, based upon the same Hebrew and Greek texts and/or the KJV. So in effect, every language had, and has it's own KJV. For example, Luther's German translation is a replica of the KJV, and during the Reformation all Reformation Bibles matched the KJV in various languages.

Amen. Here's something else to consider--If your faith is so wound up in the wordings of a text, then where is your trust in the sovereignty of God?Today at 06:10 AM Aaron11 said this in Post #31
Problems with the translations are only true problems for the legalist. The message of the gospel is clean and clear. The point is, the same gospel is in all of the versions we have discussed. Leave out Acts 8:37 and we still have the same gospel. I am talking about the big picture. If you want to squabble and fight about wordings in texts, then yea its important. If you want the big picture of the gospel, it is rather irrelevant.

NIV
Acts 8
34The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?"
35Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
36As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?"
38And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

King James Version
Acts 8
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
