Why This Blog?
Hello, this blog started with two goals in mind.(1) As a way to share my notes that I had on various topics, along with Scripture references written in the front and back of my Bible.
(2) Explain the reasons for advocating the King James Bible in preference to ALL other modern English versions.
The way I study my Bible, might be different than someone else, but it is important nevertheless to study rather than simply read as if one was reading a novel. Paul commended Timothy in II Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." I generally like to read a chapter, and as I do I will attempt to boil it down to a handful of "bullet-points". So instead of starting at the beginning with Genesis and reading through to Revelation, I tend to pick sections such as creation, end times, history of the kings, the law, pauls letters, the prophets etc. For example - Genesis thru Josuha or Judges thru Kings and Chronicles. Along the way, the entire Bible is not only read, but studied. These notes are mostly in here but some have been pulled out into their own post or page.
Many years ago I became aware of some of the newer Bible versions and while I realized they seemed to be worded or phrased in a more modern style, I never thought to look into it further. I had always had a KJV and never had a reason to get another Bible. It wasn't until many years after becoming aware of newer versions that I began to look into the matter. The first thing that struck me was that specific verses were missing. I wanted to know why. You can read my notes on the KJV and why I am such an advocate for this and only this version, at least for English-speaking people here - "Why the King James Bible Stands Alone"
