For reals, yo. I love this pic the best. Looks like it came out of the finest KKK tract money could buy:

I have always believed in Jesus as Lord and Savior. I have not always believed that one version of the Bible is better until the last 10 years or so. I have always read from the Authorized King James Version. Most likely because the Lord did not want me to get my understanding from any other source.
As I have gotten closer to God over the years I have learned why the KJV is the best of the translations of the original Greek and Hebrew text. Some of the reasons are that the words of the Old English which seam difficult to read and understand at first are really the most descriptive and least confusing to understand as you read. Words like Longsuffering from the KJV have been translated into patience in the NIV. Now the word are pretty similar in the definitions, but the word longsuffering shows an inflection of pain while you endure. Patience does not imply this at all. You may be patient with the guy at the counter of the DMV, but you are long suffering with a loved one while you hope they change their ways. There are many more examples of the pitfalls of the NIV, NKJV, KJ21, NASB to numerous to get into. And if you are not willing to examine and ask the Lord to help you discern the Truth of the matter then my post is falling upon deaf ears.
There is a good book called The Language of the King James Bible , Discover its Hidden Built in Dictionary, by Gail Riplinger. It is very informative on how to understand the Old English of the KJV Bible.
But on to why I posted in the first place if you go to these links you will learn how the publishers of the NIV are also the publisher of the Satanic Bible. Their Teen study Bible is very disturbing and worldly, even mocks the Bible in a hidden way.
That is perfectly understandable. Maybe a project for later when they have left the nest.
"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Matthew 7:16-23.You believe he was a homosexual but I do not for the scripture above states the facts of a person of ill repute. Go to the link below to read about the rumors. If you are a Believer then you will agree, if not then you are just trying to push a chain up a hill with me.
May all the fullness of God's love and blessing be yours.
Gee...if you're going to use "www.jesus-is-lord.com" as a reference, are you next going to claim that this page on Catholicism (http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/index.htm#rc) is an accurate document?
It may be you are the one who has eyes that do no see, and ears that do not hear.
I am not here to bash ones denomination.
Only that the NIV uses many words that down play certain sins. That the publishers also publish the Satanic Bible, that these same publishers publish a Teen version of the Bible that down plays the sins that disgust God and make it possible for one to not make it to Heaven.
I may not agree with certain denominations but I can not Judge them either.
Philippians 2:12-13
12.Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.13. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
I appreciate your candor and response.
I must say that I find the http://www.jesus-is-lord.com website to contain an incredible amount of bigoted lies, though. It's not a source on Catholicism to be taken seriously. The folks who run it need help.
I never got past Canterbury Tales in school. Then when I got to college, the English profs weren't really interested in dead white guys. (Come to think of it, the prof made it clear she wasn't interested in guys at all.)
The site was to refer to the rumors of King James as a homosexual. I believe a corrupt tree will not bring forth a good fruit.
So do you believe that Beowulf was a fictional story. Or do you believe that the dragons were living dinosaurs.
Thank you. I didn't believe it anyway. Of course, I don't believe Abraham Lincoln was a homosexual, either.
I think I will trust the historians over that poorly researched website, thanks anyway. That King James was a homosexual is not a new speculation, but rather a well researched historical fact dating back almost 400 years now. Maybe you should do some research on the facts.
