I do. God lead me to that Bible and there is no mistake about that on my part. As I said to you yesterday, I am unable to read the KJV.

Are you saying at shouldn't read a Bible at all if I cannot read the KJV?
I was unable to read the KJV until I took the time to learn it.

I have taken the time to learn it. I cannot as it is distracting. I absolutely cannot read the KJV.

When a bible version preaents a false message it’s nobodies opinion that it’s false it’s just false.

The problem is that according to you it's false. That is your opinion.

And as I said before, God lead me to that Bible. Since He lead me to it, I am going to read it. He didn't lead me to the KJV. Probably because He knows I cannot read it.

I believe it’s written on either a fifth or seventh grade level.

It is distracting to me because it is not written in the everyday vernacular that we use today. Doesn't matter what grade level it is, if I cannot read it, I cannot read.

God lead me to the NRSV. Are you really gonna argue with God?

I just showed you a very easy to understand example and you’re not concerned so it would be pointless to discuss errors with you.

I might believe you if you could give me some biblical examples of where God lead his people into any kind of error that was supposed to benefit them.

That’s just one easy to see example. These false bibles have thousands of problems.
You can have any opinion you want, privately, but to go to a public forum and accuse all Bibles of being false just because they are not like your medieval one, its a very unchristian and intolerant behaviour. You show no respect to the work of many specialists who worked hard to give those Bibles to people.
And you show no respect to the readers.

I don’t why you’re arguing, you think all bibles have errors. I least I’m saying you can absolutely trust one of them.

Are you sure it is a true error?

Look, you can believe as you wish. I simply cannot read the KJV, so by your reasoning I shouldn't read any Bible. Is that what Gid would want or do you think maybe your hardline stance is simply too hard?

And you can believe as you wish, I really don’t care what Bible you read. It is my duty as a Christian to warn others about things they may not be aware of... you are aware now.

When I point out an error I’m not attacking anything or anyone I’m pointing out an error so that people are aware.
Its just your opinion its an error. You are fanatically defending one translation and attacking other ones, which is unjust and intolerant.
