Do you want to know why we put God's Word on high? We put God's Word on high because God said to!

Psalm 138:2
"I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast MAGNIFIED THY WORD ABOVE ALL THY NAME." KJV

Read that last part of the verse again and pray about it. Do you magnify God's Word? Do you believe it? ...or do you believe parts of it and study from 3-4 different "bibles" that all contradict each other?

People are always putting down King James. King James done this, King James done that. Well don't you worry bud, God will use who He sees fit to use. I bet if you lived in the Bible days you would put down people like Noah(the drunk) and David(the adulterer). You see, it doesn't matter what you think. It is not about you or your likens, it is all about GOD. God will use who He wants to, no matter what you think.

Acts 13:22
"..I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart.." KJV

What about the "originals"? Well, what about them? You haven't seen them. They are G-O-N-E. I believe they were indeed inspired, but God did not preserve them obviously. But you know what? God DID inspired the King James Bible and God DID preserve the King James Bible. If we don't have God's Word today, then God is a liar and let me tell you something. I'll believe God over a Greek scholar any day of the week.

Psalms 12:7
"Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt PRESERVE them from this generation FOR EVER." KJV

2 Timothy 3:16
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" KJV


Jeremiah 36:23
"And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he CUT it with the penknife, and cast it into the FIRE that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth." KJV

You see that? All your talk about the originals when some of them were cut up and thrown in a fire. If God inspired the second copy of the Ten Commandments, then I don't doubt one bit that He can inspire His Word again in the King James Bible.
(By the way, this is my second time typing this post. I don't think the devil wanted me to post this because the computer crashed the first time I typed it lol. I thought about not typing it all over again, but then I thought, "if God can inspire His Commandments and Bible two times, then He can sure lead me to type this two times. Amen?")

What about when people from the New Testament quoted the Old Testament that was written in Hebrew? The New Testament was written in Greek. Did it lose it's inspiration because it was put in a different language? I think not.

So why did God choose English? It's simple if you think about it. God knew that English would be the most spoken language in the world and He wanted as many people to get saved and study His Word as possible. How could that happen with the Greek, when no one hardly speaks it anymore? He chose to inspire and preserve His Word in the English speaking language in the King James Bible, authorized by a King.

Eccl 8:4
"Where the word of a KING is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?" KJV

Another thing is when we say that our final authority is the King James Bible and people say, "well God is my authority, not some book." Well I agree, God is my final authority, but God said something and put it in a book, inspired the book, preserved the book, so I'm going to believe and submit to THAT BOOK!

Let me put it to you like this. Do you love your father? Do you respect your father? Do you SUBMIT to what your father SAYS?

Do you love God? Do you respect God? Do you submit to what God SAYS and has put in HIS BOOK aka The King James Bible?

...or do you submit to your Greek teacher and believe what he says? What do you MAGNIFY? God's Word that He inspired or some "educated" Greek scholar? Well let me tell you something. God doesn't look up to a man that "educates" someone out of believing His Word one bit.

1 Corinthians 3:18-21
18 "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;" KJV

I'm going to stop right here. If you're reading this and you don't believe the King James Bible is God's Word, please study and pray about this. That doesn't mean go ask your Greek teacher either. It means go to prayer with GOD and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal unto you the TRUTH. Ask God to break your pride and reveal truth on this subject. Don't let your pride keep you from magnifying God's Word and how can you magnify God's Word when you don't know what God's Word is?

John 17:17
"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is TRUTH." KJV

Thanks for reading and God Bless
