Have been a born again Christian for decades and the King James was what I started with. Along the way I have read others, The Living helped in Bible Study and Revised Standard. But. I was shocked to my boots recently when I watched a video on Bibles since the KJV have been changed, every so slightly, by masons and others down thru the ages. The KJV Bible has been made redundant in favour of more progressive ones. Does this matter? l like to put references up and I think this is the one (many videos on this topic) that shocked me into realising that just like all other corners of our lives, they intend to muddy the waters by making the KJV ‘irrelevant’ in a modern world. https://youtu.be/pe8h-yVidyU When I recall Bible verses, I tend to recall them from the KJV. I have no idea why.
Finally, let me share this. It had such a great blessing on my faith and while I dont believe it was ‘the Bible’ POTUS45 held up at the church, I do believe the one he used at inauguration was.
OP didn't ask for opinions about which translation is the best/right/most correct/most spiritual... They asked if there was significance to the fact that PDJT held up THIS one. And there might be. There are no coincidences.
I've been in church my whole life, and sometimes, Christians are the worst sort of circular firing squad.
Thank you!...,especially as it relates to a Y bible/book. What is the connection to Q and Y. I can't make out the talk in the video---but he seems super excited over a connection.
As far as I can determine, there's nothing overtly "wrong" about the Revised Standard version, and it was probably something close-at-hand that Trump grabbed for the photo op. Now, if he were holding the Scofield abomination...
I don’t think there is any real difference between any of the translations. As a catechumen I attend a ‘class’ where we have 10-20 people on any given day. Most of us bring NABRE (New American Bible Revised Edition) because that’s what’s in the pews at the church. However there are several students who bring their own versions in. It’s interesting, while we read aloud you can hear different words but the meaning, the story, and the mysteries are all intact. We have people that bring the RSV(Revised Standard Version) or the NIV(New International Version) into class with them. Now as far as my parents go, God rest their souls, they swore by the KJV. They basically said everything else was garbage. I mean, it is one of the oldest translations in use for 100s of years. Why mess with a good thing? So I have some skepticism of newer translations. But at this point I’ve been studying the NABRE so hard I feel like I’m missing whatever goodness is in the KJV. Bah, I guess I don’t make any sense.
As a born again Christian I was taught to use the NIV. The New International Version (NIV) is a completely original translation of the Bible developed by more than one hundred scholars working from the best available Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. It is considered a more accurate translation.
Not more accurate, is at a higher reading level than KJV, and leaves out passages and even entire verses they don't like. Plus they revise it constantly. Get a print copy from a few years ago and compare it with the online version or a brand new print copy. It's also copyrighted so it costs more.
I don't trust any Bible that actually omits whole verses of things Jesus said.
President Donald Trump sworn into office using his mother’s Bible and the Lincoln Bible. I wish I could read the type on the spine of the top bible, the Hebrides Bible.
If you have time - watch the [lousy audio] video. This fella is tying this into Q drops. I have hearing lose and I absolutely can't decipher a lot of it...but it seems significant. I am most interested in the tying Trumps bible into a 'Y' bible???

Too many people missing the point in this thread.

Focus on the right thing!

Possibly defining his Christian faith.

Preaching to the choir...I'm solid on the KJV..., I just wondered what the significance of the bible Trump held up was. Is it connected to something?
Hmm. Somehow I assumed it was his mothers, but seems like that would have been KJV. Maybe he's saying the church has been revised.

Looks like Revised Standard Version. It also looks more worn than the one he held up at the church.
Thank you so much. I think so too.

Video audio borders on the horrible...but I think there's something there.
