Here is the best article on this topic of the “KJV alone,” from a New Testament scholar: https://bible.org/article/why-i-do-not-think-king-james-bible-best-translation-available-today
If only “KJV alone” pastors were the only ones helping widows and single-moms, what a dearth we would have. Thank goodness, there are so many pastors and other ministry workers, who hold to various other good translations, that step in to fill the gap. Keep up your tremendous ministry, Herb. And don’t let the “one issue” folks get you down. – Paul
PS: I sometimes wonder how anyone studied God’s word BEFORE the KJV came along!
Great point, Paul. And it’s not as if King James himself was a saint.
You rock my friend. Keep up your great work. I have received way more criticism and hurtful comments from “Christians” then I ever have from the secular world. Stay true to God’s calling upon you!
How true, Rick. Christians can be so cruel sometimes.
It’s good to hear from you. I enjoy seeing your books in airport bookstores as I travel. What a fantastic ministry you have. Blessings on you, my friend.
