since the kjv has gone through some revisions, why not give the popular new translations the same opportunity rather than throwing out the whole thing over one word or one passage. has any of the kjv only tried to come up with a comtemporary translation that even all of their own would claim as valid? the anglo world had a comtemporay version in 1611 and its revisions, can i not have the same in my generation? the same goes for worship styles. does any one really think that any of the current worship styles from high church-to emergent really represents what the 1st church did in acts 2? since every generation has laid claim to what they thought was significant expression for them, i would like the same options.

I do not think what constitutes God’s Word is a minor thing. It is the ultimate thing. The new bible versions equate Lucifer with Jesus Christ in many cases. For example:

NIV Isaiah 14:12-15(In the KJV this passage refers to Lucifer in verse 12)

12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!

13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.

14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”

15 But you are brought down to the grave,
to the depths of the pit.

NIV Revelation 22:16(Here Jesus clearly says he is the morning star)

16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.

NIV 2 Peter 1:19

19And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

There you have it folks Jesus and Satan both called the morning star in the NIV. Which morning star is rising in your heart? I think this bible is fit for the pit.

well said brother. My only (somewhat sarcastic)observation would be that PROTESTING does indeed SEEM tp be working for Fred Phelps… IT IS A JOKE!
