The KJV is the oldest and most read and less altered of the other versions. We live today in the last days and the KJV is obviously the one which God wanted us to read.
Taking over for AV1611 on that? Weird, considering that your interpretation of the bible reads as extremely different from the original.


It's obvious to those who know that God is perfect and more intelligent than any man. IF He had wanted us to read another version, the KJV would NOT be the most read, but it is. Amen?
-_- it was completed in 1611. Also, from what I can find online, it seems like the NIV is increasing in popularity. Perhaps because it is easier to read.

The first Bible to be printed by the printing press was the KJV making it the most read version. Since we live today in the last days, newer versions don't have a chance to catch up with its readership before the end. I cannot agree that my interpretation is different since it agrees with what is actually written. The traditional religious interpretation is that of ancient men and doesn't agree with anything.

It's also much more altered, which means that the traditional view of ancient men is incorporated into the narrative. Look at this verse:

KJV Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after HIS kind, and cattle after THEIR kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after HIS kind: and God saw that it was good.

NIV Gen 1:25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

See. Beasts of the Earth were made by Lord God/Jesus. Gen 2:19 The NIV took Lord God/Jesus out of the verse and added WILD animals. They didn't know that HIS kinds include beasts of the Earth, birds and ALL creeping things because they didn't know the difference between His (Jesus kinds) and Their (Trinity kinds).

They were also ignorant that mosquitoes, bugs and creeping things were all made by Lord God/Jesus. Gen 6:7 This is important since THEIR kinds are eternal kinds and if they were made by the Trinity, they would be in Heaven, forever. The creatures made by Jesus are all temporary creatures and subject to Death, including Humankind. In order to be made immortal, one MUST be born again Spiritually by the TRINITY. Gen 1:26 Gen 5:1-2 and John 14:16

What the NIV alterers have done is also prohibited by this verse:

Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

That's not true. The first bible that was printed by the printing press you are most likely thinking of, the Gutenberg printing press, was the 42-line bible. By the way, that fast printing press was invented almost 200 years before the KJV was completed. The use of the printing press expanded immensely in the 1600s as a result of the KJV being pushed on the populace.

You should read history stuff before making claims about it.


Since we live today in the last days, newer versions don't have a chance to catch up with its readership before the end.
And then the world exists on for millions of years more. Just based on the fact that the bible explicitly states that when the world ends, no on will be expecting it, I know that the Christian variant of the end times will not be happening any time soon. That is, if the world ends soon, it'd be defying biblical teachings.

I cannot agree that my interpretation is different since it agrees with what is actually written. The traditional religious interpretation is that of ancient men and doesn't agree with anything.
You know for a fact that your interpretation is unique unto yourself. No one has read the bible and come out with the same interpretation as yourself without being previously exposed to your interpretation.


Based on the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest version of the OT we have, the KJV is not an especially accurate version of the bible. The KJV's worst flaw is translation errors; the languages that the bible was previously written in just don't translate easily into English, hence those errors. I'm sure the translators were trying their best, but every time text is translated, the risk of translation errors increases.

Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Just so you know, I view the NIV as a garbage translation. The New American Standard Bible is currently considered to be the most accurate version of the bible in English.

You're right. I was giving you the dating placed in the margins of the KJV giving the date of the first day. It stayed until the 1950s. Is it any wonder that people believed it was in 4004 BC. Sorry, would you believe it's the first mistake of my life? LOL


The world as we know it ends when Jesus returns in order to keep Humankind from going extinct. Eliminating all flesh sounds like a Nuclear war?

Mar 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.

You know for a fact that your interpretation is unique unto yourself. No one has read the bible and come out with the same interpretation as yourself without being previously exposed to your interpretation.

That is WHY I search to find just one refute (proving wrong) what the text actually says to the educated person of the last days. It's proof of God.

Just so you know, I view the NIV as a garbage translation. The New American Standard Bible is currently considered to be the most accurate version of the bible in English.

Soon, God will pour out His Spirit of Truth upon ALL flesh, including atheists and all unbelievers, since we live in the last generation.

Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh:

God's Spirit, the Holy Spirit is also the Spirit of Truth. The increased knowledge of God, in the last days, will come from the agreement of Scripture, Science and History. Jhn 16:13 Amen?
