Hello Carlos, my brother-in-Christ. In my personal experience, I only recommend the Holy Bible as a reference for learning. I truly believe that anyone can read and understand the 1611 KJV if they are truly seeking God. No offense intended to you, anyone reading, or any other version of God's Word, but my personal experience is that when I truly began seeking/asking/knocking, our Heavenly Father opened my eyes with discernment. God bless you and your house.
Not to start a flame-war or anything (since we sort of got into this once before), but I would suggests that investing effort in understanding the 1611KJV is a waste when highly educated Christian scholars have produced accurate and reliable translations in much more modern English. (For any comment readers who would rather hear this from an expert instead of a random poster, I would suggest searching "Mark Ward" on youtube.)
I like to say that since in utero I was exposed regularly to the King James Version of the Bible, Elizabethean English is my first language. Hence in high school and college, I sailed right through the study of Shakespeare.
Not too many have likely had that experience, so I agree that modern versions will require a lot less work to understand.
TB…yes we’ve had some good dialogue before and I’m glad we did! Your comments are always welcome. I have no reason to disagree with you personally, as I use multiple translations in my own study. I just prefer the 1611 as my primary source and defer to it in any circumstance.
It was difficult for me to understand at one time, until my prayers were answered to open my eyes.
Fair enough. I don't really have a quarrel with anyone reading or studying it for reasons of their own choosing, just with people who want to insist on it as if it was uniquely inspired or that it should be the standard for everyone. (Thus why I question if it's worth learning to understand for those who don't already - IMO the effort would be better spent learning Greek to read it in the original language, given that's the form of words that was actually inspired by God.)
And the clock keeps ticking….
That promises to Israel’s don’t apply to anyone else that doesn’t claim them.
We need first to repent if we are hoping for a change and blessing.
I do recommend “The Harbinger “ by Jonathan Cahn. And the sequel too.
The clock hasn’t stopped at all for America.

Well stated!
