This war is Biblical and the only way we can overcome is with God's Help
I hope you've seen humanity without God is not good
Because of Greed, Power, and the very plans of Satan...we have wickedness, disease, and starvation
Nobody likes to be called a sinner
Well, you are one... without Christ, we are as loathsome as the stinkbugs we get rid of in our homes
Compared to good, you are a filthy rag
If you've never heard that...it's time you do
If you were let in Heaven, the way you are....you would stink up Heaven and bring death to a perfect atmosphere.
You are born that way...you can't change it
God can tho...
Me going deep into why the Bible is real and Jesus holds it all together, using science, archaeology, History and everything logical to prove to you...
That will never work on lost people...that's just red meat for the saved
You have to see yourself the way God does
Did you know in the end....Does Jesus have to keep us all from killing each other?!
The elements will burn with fervent heat....sounds like nuclear
You don't need to worry about climate change
Humanity will never give that a chance....this Earth would probably like to puke us out
We are a curse to it
When you see how lost you are, then you may come to get saved.
That's why the Gospel is good news
Some of you took a red pill
But what you really need is the Gospel
I've been using the internet to look up specific verses, but I plan on buying my first Bible soon. Could someone recommend what version to get? I don't mind archaic language, I want it to be as accurate as possible. Thanks!
King James Version. Splurge on a nice bounding if you can afford it.
Spez: Don’t buy from Amazon - they’ve been known to delete certain passages regarding homosexuality. Christianbook.com is good.
Thank you!
Pray about it, talk to God and ask him what version “He” wants you to get. He is the true authority 😉 He will reveal which version is going to speak to you. I was brought up with KJV but I also have NLV. Another alternative would be to listen to a few different audio versions first to see what is speaking to you most.
how is that possible? Amazon is deleting passages, thereby shortening the Bible and reprinting a bible?
So, I don’t have a source ready but if you search for King James version of the Bible on Amazon, read the 1 star reviews and you’ll find folks claiming passages have been left out. I specifically remember some related to homosexuality. Take a look for yourself. I’d love to be wrong here.
now that is very interesting
I find my Life Application Study Bible that has Book prefaces, study notes and maps in it helpful. It can be purchased in many versions (KJV, NIV, etc.). Mine is NIV.
The Textus Receptus is almost 6000 documents with little to no disagreement. The King James Version comes from this lineage. The KJV has a crown copyright, which isn't to make money, but to prevent anyone from claiming ownership over God's words.
All the modern versions come from the Catholic influenced Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. Less than 100 documents and there are 1000s of contradictions in just the 4 gospels alone. All the copyrighted, modern Bibles come from these texts, which includes work from Westcott and Hort who didn't even believe the Bible. Even the Greek is a fraud, as they back translated from Latin to Greek and then back forward to English to say it came from Greek, but it wasn't original.
Too late as the modern KJV is compromised and hijacked. Rather download a First Edition 1611 KJV and it will be very very close to perfect but for example the first scripture in the 18th century KJV below shows an incorrect translation as the word Jew does not appear in biblical times nor belongs in any scripture. It comes from Judeans, Judea, Judah or Judahites. This occurred in the 18th century.
John 4:22 KJV “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” <<<<< Jews in biblical times never existed and today does not mean a race but the practice of Judaism. Same as the Pharisees. (Synagogue of Satan.)
John 4:22 First Edition 1611 KJV
Ye worship ye know not what: for saluation is of the lewes. Iewes translates either Judeans or Judahites, Judea or Judah never Jew or Jews which is of the work of Satan.
The actual correct translation should be "Salvation is out of Judah" In this case it points directly at the tribe of Judah as in the blood line to Christ.
"And thus Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah; for OUT OF ("Ek" #1537) thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel." Matthew 2:6
"And thou, Bethlehem, house of Ephratha, art few in number to be reckoned among the thousands of Judah; yet OUT OF ("Ek" #1537) thee shall One come forth to me, to be a ruler of Israel; and His goings forth were from the beginning, even from eternity." (From the Greek O.T.) Micah 5:2
"For it is manifest that OUT OF ("Ek" #1537) Judah has sprung our Lord...” Hebrews 7:14
I’m very excited for you! I also would suggest King James. I’ve read the ESV the past two years which was very helpful when you aren’t used to old English, but this year I picked up a King James, and it just feels breath takingly poetic. I’ve also been using Chuck Missler Bible studies in conjunction he has a wonderful way of breaking it down verse by verse and revealing geography/culture/Greeklanguage/Hebrew language context to everything. I would encourage to pray before each reading asking the Holy Spirit to reveal what he has to teach you.
Unless you want to bathe in middle English (King James version), I suggest a modern English version. I have had a New International Version for the past 30 years and find it is very easy to read and understand. The minor differences in some verses some claim invalidates the NIV because those verses don't agree with KJV aren't enough to make a significant difference, and the NIV was developed after additional scrolls and other sources were considered, that weren't available when the KJV was assembled.
I just want it to be accurate, if that means I have to bathe in middle english, so be it. I appreciate the help, I'll look into NIV as well.
Also, if you have never read through the Bible, I would suggest the New Testament first, because some of the seeming brutality of the Old Testament, where God ordered the Israelites to kill EVERYONE, and EVERYTHING, in town they were taking over, can be tough to read, unless you understand the holiness of God, and the fact that He can do whatever He wants, even when we, as mere humans, think it's not right.
Because the NIV involved Biblical scholars and many other experts, who used what are considered to be more accurate sources (additional scrolls, etc.), it is considered by many to be more accurate than the KJV. Some people, perhaps because they grew up in churches that always used the KJV, think the thees and thous somehow make it "more Holy".
I own a KJV, but I sometimes look up verses/passages in various online Bibles for comparison:
