“The other versions do not have a study tool like the Strong’s that allows me to verify that what is Written did not get messed with by the busy fingers down through the ages.”

This is not so. I can read concurrences with Latin, Greek, and the passages today right at my fingertips. Strong’s is unnecessary when you have access to the originals.

“Sorry if that might offend but that is a tradition of man that simply is NOT required to demonstrate my faith.”

Your usage of Strong’s is a tradition of men. Clearly there’s nothing wrong with tradition when you agree with it. Tradition is only wrong if you disagree.

My KJV does not have the path to salvation going through Rome. It does not make Mary a goddess of heaven and man's rituals as prerequisite to finding Jesus. My KJV is nondenominational and leaves the Creator in charge. This conversation reminds me of when God set up His government (Judges) with the newly freed peoples out of Egypt and they demanded to have a king, just like their neighbors. History does tend to repeat itself and we in the flesh sure like to have flesh masters we can worship.

There is a mass difference in the 'tradition' established by the Creator and those that men in religious robes establish and claim they came from god. There is not one hint that any of us gain anything by hailing Mary, or worshiping an object like a church denomination no matter how old the object is.
