Which Translation?
- a believed conspiracy that emerging translations are eating up the foundations of Christian faith (psalm 11:3)
- king James translation: translated from a group of godly scholars from Greek and Hebrew tongue in 1611. The 1769 "perfected" version forms the basis of most of our KJV bibles
- why jkv in our church?
1. Its a precise, accurate time-tested reference (psalm 119:105)
2. Favored by readers from a mono-language society where English was the first language
- some "reformed" groups exerts jkv-only mentality, classifying others as non-conformists
- use the principles of learning.to guide our selection of bible versions. Start simple.
- add the details later. This should be the approach. Para-phrasing is wise.
- progress later to a more complete picture
- check out psalm 119:97-105 as the principles to guide you
