BE NOT DECEIVED
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
I used to honestly believe that I was just not capable of reading the Bible. I thought I could never understand what “all those words” meant, much less remember them. I certainly have not deduced the meaning of every word in the bible, but I am gaining a better understanding each time I delve into those precious pages.
I recently recalled being about 5 years old, sitting in a baptist church classroom reciting verses for my Sunday school teacher: one verse a week. Even as a child, I managed to remember most, if not every word of my assigned verses. I only went to that particular church a handful of times. Nevertheless, the seed was sown. I was a little girl who loved God and wanted to please Him. By his grace, his kind people walked me right up to Him, and sat me down. Of course I ended up turning my back on him for a time, when I ventured out into the big, bad world thinking I had a pretty good understanding of everything; that subject however, I will save for another time. I am ever thankful for my family; all the kind and tenderhearted people who have and continue to guide me through my life.
The first bible my parents gave me was a white, learther version of the King James bible that zipped up to keep the pages safe. Until my 30th year of life, I thought I would never be able to read and understand it. I always leaned toward more perverse versions of the Bible because I thought I would be able to make more sense of them. Boy was I wrong about that one! (Please do not be offended; look up the word “perverse.” If offended: my condolences).
I believe that books and words have manifold meanings. Think of us for instance. Our DNA is as a book, composed of various genetic codes: DNA is made of phosphorous. The word phosphorous, because of it's unique properties, is derived from the Greek phosphoros, which can be interpreted literally as “light-bringer.” Therefore, you and I are literally made of “a light-bringing” book full of instructions. (This thought makes my heart quite happy. I pray God bless the kind pastor who guided me back to the Word that I may receive my sight).
Folks, a girl can grow tired of arguing about this (especially considering that once you truly believe in the Word of God, it is not something you tend to doubt) but there are several reasons why I believe that the King James version of the Holy Bible is the only version that could have been inspired by God. First, I believe this version is the most accurate translation because completing this translation was no private endeavor. The King James version has no copyright laws that prevent people from copying the entire text whereas many recent translations ask that you write for permission to copy more than an allotted number of verses. I was also made aware that in order for a version of the Bible to be printed and copyrighted, it had to deviate from the original text at least “x” percent of the time. I think this is around 10 percent, but the point is that someone somewhere was more worried about making money, or a name for themselves, than about preserving the true Word of God. It doesn't seem to bother the publishers that they are selling people dangerous lies. Most importantly, I believe that the King James bible is the preserved word of God is because I can count on God, and “every word” of my bible tells me so (so there will be no arguing

“Every word” 1x *7x
The Word
1 John: 1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of theWordof life;2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship iswith the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
“the Word” 6x *469
“The Word of God” 1x *46x (Our DNA is made up of 46 chromosomes)
“The word of the LORD” 23x (Our reproductive cells are made up of 23 chromosomes)
I know how wrong I was before because at some point in my life, I accepted lies for truth. Thankfully God loves me, and he was kind enough to chasten me. I realized that if my Bible tells the truth, all I had to do was ask him in good faith for his guidance, instruction, and most importantly, His forgiveness. (Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent). If you read it, and it doesn't make sense, I encourage you to pray about it; ask God for understanding. With God all things are possible. There are parts of the bible that may be hard to accept, and understand but ask yourself: whose reasoning skills are greater? God's? Or Man's? I encourage you to give God a chance. The Lord himself will teach you what His words mean! Repent in good faith, and call unto Him. Search Him in His Word. You can even count on Him.
Proverbs 5: 7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Jeremiah33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
If you are interested in studying the word of God, I insist that you arm yourself with a real-live King James bible, and visit purebiblesearch.com with this free program you can do your own research, and see if my numbers are right!! (when searching in the program the words you look for may or may not be case sensitive. All of my numbers are based on case-sensitive searces. * before a number indicates the number of occurences in the bible regardless of upper or lower case).
I pray you be safe on your way to heaven! God bless!
