I am a new member to this forum. On searching around I noticed different versions being used by adherants and even this forum.
Now, most of these newer versions have a copywrite. Now, I will say this. Would the Lord God approve of HIS word being copywrite?
I use the Authorised or King James Bible. There are many reasons why I do.
The word of God is FREE, freely given. The translators that worked on both old and new testaments
of the KJV were the very best of the time. They new the ancient languages involved; in how they were spoken, written and understood. The translators of today would not even touch the sides in this respect.
The KJV is beautifully written. Much is prose and much is like poetry. It is easy to remember and there is NO copywrite!
Today, the 28th March 2015, the Bible verse is from Psalm 62:7 NIV ©
"My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge."
Now this is from the KJV.
"In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God."
Which of the above verses would you use? Of which gives more Glory to God and which speaks with power and authority? Thus saith the LORD!
I could say more, but what I have said is worth pondering...
