“I’ve been in numerous KJV churches...Never once have I heard anyone claim that someone would go to hell for using something other than a KJV bible... “

It was a small church, about 60-70 miles north of Austin, TX. Probably 1992 or 93.

I like the KJV, but I also like the NEB & ESV. When I first became a Christian, the Living Bible was critical to me, since I couldn’t understand a more literal translation very well.

AMEN BROTHER! As CS Lewis said, when the bible tells you to feed the poor, it doesn't give you lessons on cookery. You'd think some congregations confer a degree in english lit. when you walk down the aisle.
