' I read several Bible versions...."Why is the KJV so abhorent to modern evangelicals when it was and still is blessed of God-why attack the ONE excellent English translation that served the English speaking world for the last 4 centuries? For some to say that peolple are unable to understand the KJV language is ridiculous as I had no education at all

It is pointless making any statements as they are disregarded e.g. I was actually convicted and convinced and brought to cry out for salvation by I Timothy 3: 16 -studying with the JW's yet with my own av bible.

One so-called 'excellent' modern version-the NIV- is now being abandoned by modern reformers after er... less than 4 decades not centuries...
