I would accept “I’d consider therapeutics like Ivermectin but the medical boards won’t allow it.” as an answer. I truly understand the pressures they are under. Flat out NO is not acceptable.

As far as Bible version, I don’t really use that as a huge indicator.

KJV only would be a deal breaker, as would The Message only. In between there’s lots of room for different versions.

A buddy of mine is a KJV only preacher. He didn’t like it when I told him the reason he uses KJV is to add ten minutes to each sermon interpreting what the arcane words mean in the modern vernacular.

“KJV only would be a deal breaker,”

LOL! It’s the opposite for me. If not KJV, we walk. It’s not a perfect translation, but I think it’s the best.

My dad’s a minister (also uncles, cousins, many friends), and I grew up on KJV, so the “arcane” words are common for me. Gave me a great advantage in school with Canterbury Tales, Beowulf, etc.

It bothers me a bit that King James had my ancestor burned at the stake in 1611, but his translator guys did a pretty good job.
