| because everyone should see how easy to read it is, how clearly the hebrew and greek is translated into the english that we americans use. When I read it, more than any other version the words come to life in my head...its very vivid. And like i mentioned earlier, its being acclaimed by bible scholars around the country as one of the most well translated versions. |

OK, in response to the posts about the KJV not being accurate.........
It is the closest thing out there.......if you want 150% accurate, learn yourself Hebrew and Greek and read the original scrolls.....
Me, I'll keep reading KJV
Peace Out

| I've studied Greek before, but it was really hard. It wasn't as hard as Hebrew, though... I couldn't make heads or tails out of Hebrew, whereas I had actually started to understand Greek just a little. |

I know. I've tried....it is NOT an easy task...............Hebrew isn't that hard, but I never did finish learning it.

| Definitely KJV all the way. It has been good enough for nearly 400 years and is still the best for today! |
