Any church that reads and teaches only out of the King James Version, I can understand the problem.
I grew up with the New American Standard Bible and even that now is starting to sound archaic in places.
Some of the newer versions are easier to hear and relate to but may not always be the most precise translation.
Yet, deep down, it is the human heart that has the problem. Those that are hungry for God’s Word will take the time to study it and understand it. Those that don’t will find any excuse not to.
The Holy Spirit will provide the wisdom and understanding if you take the time to read with an open and sincere heart.
Timothy says it best in “2 Timothy 3”:
1 But realize this that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
I emphasize verse five. They will *claim* they know God but they will deny God’s infinite power. That, to me, represents quite a few churches that have decided to compromise with God’s clear commands in order to satisfy their lusts or because they, in their blindness, believe they know better than God does when it comes to some topics.
Jesus will tell them “I do not know you.”
MANY newer versions omit words, rearrange words that completely change what the scripture is. KJV was the Bible extant for centuries prior to new versions cropping up this century.
Look in newer versions for Acts 8:37 and ponder the differences/omissions.
