I’m sure you could find websites that do a more thorough break-down, but here is one example that comes to mind.

When Jesus is asking Peter if he loves Him, in the KJV all you see the the word “love.” In the Greek, the words for love in the Greek are philos and Agape. I don’t remember the sermon off hand, but when you read the story in the Greek, there is so much more in that then meets the eye in the KJV.

I’m not saying that the KJV is corrupt, just that in the English, it doesn’t always care over the whole meaning. Now I use the KJV and love it, but my church has in it’s pews the NIV, which I don’t love. However, when you are being guided in Church by the pastor, it still works to convey God’s message.

Another version I don’t like is the Living Bible. However, my rebel sister was lead back to the Lord through the use of the Living Bible, because KJV didn’t make sense to her.

I definately believe that there are bad, good, and better versions to use for study, but like I said before, the Holy Spirit as your guide is most important.

Sincerely

Actually there isn't.

Agape and Philo are used interchangebly in the Greek.

Well, I am saying that all other versions but the King James are corrupt since they have errors in them.

It doesn't 'work' if the bible being used has errors in it and thus, undermines the confidence people ought to have in their Bible (Pr.22:21)

God can use alot of things, He used a donkey once to rebuke a prophet (Num.22).

The question any believer has to answer is what Bible is God's truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth and that is only the KJB.

That is why people don't 'like it'.

As Mark Twain once said, 'it isn't the things in the Bible that I don't understand that bother me, it is the things I do understand'

I definately believe that there are bad, good, and better versions to use for study, but like I said before, the Holy Spirit as your guide is most important.

The Holy Spirit can only guide you if you are willing to do what He says and not put your own opinions and preferences first (Rom.12:1-2)
