There is a reason that the KJV has been the standard for generations. I do prefer it as a standard. I've begun to compare versions and have acquired a certain appreciation for the NASB which doc and Jerry say is more technically correct in some sections. I have a certain suspicion of the NASB's manuscripts and I do recall that Logsdon repudiated his own central role in the NASB's founding and recommended that everyone return to the KJV. And yet, there are times when I find it can be helpful. I'm not KJV-only. I'm KJV-first-and-foremost, I guess.
But you know how you have ONE that is REALLY your bible?
As we had discussed before I have always had a Scofield KJV,that like a diary, held personal notes and sermon notes
That was the bible I wanted to take to my grave with me.
Acouple years ago I decided there was no more margin room and purchased what I believed was a duplicate of my current bible
When I got home I found I had an NIV..I decided to use it..and have now for a couple of years..
As I went about replacing it I was going back to the Scofield KJV..but on the advise of another poster I purchased the King James Study Bible..I had forgotten the richness of the KJ...It is like reading it again for the first time!
I consider all of them the word of God..but no question that today, as since it's writing, it is fully the word of God..every jot and tittle..and inspite of the claim of that Pastor it is without error!
