[Just mythoughts]

“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.

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.

“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.

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.

“My KJV does not have the path to salvation going through Rome.”

Instead yours goes through Canterbury. Is that better to go through Canterbury than Rome?

“It does not make Mary a goddess of heaven”

Something the Catholic church does not teach.

“and man’s rituals as prerequisite to finding Jesus.”

Yet you elevate Strongs = scripture. Do you not see this?

“My KJV is nondenominational”

Then you are ignorant of history.

“Soon after Elizabeth I took the throne in 1558, the flaws of both the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible (namely, that the Geneva Bible did not “conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its beliefs about an ordained clergy”) became painfully apparent”.

“and leaves the Creator in charge.”

Only if the Creator is Henry VIII!

“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”

And you are one of the ones demanding a King! Absolutely, I agree with this statement.

“History does tend to repeat itself and we in the flesh sure like to have flesh masters we can worship.”

Which is why you’ve submitted to one already.
