Do you realise that you are talking abou...Philip, <br /><br />Do you realise that you are talking about illiteracy? The rates of literacy amongst Americans have been falling for decades. Perhaps a third of American adults are considered functionally illiterate. This does not mean they cannot read words. It means that they cannot extract the meaning from what they read.<br /><br />Let's identify the real problem. One appeal of the newer Bibles is because they are "dumbed down" using simpler and simpler language. <br /><br />The dark ages were dark because people were forbidden to read the Bible at all. Now people cannot understand it. See a similarity?<br /><br />Alechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825239050486476125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598228338802252094.post-61245624295744322532015-12-14T12:04:34.409-05:002015-12-14T12:04:34.409-05:00Modern translations are indeed corrupt and leading...Modern translations are indeed corrupt and leading many astray.

However, I will always reference back to the KJV. For this purpose, I rarely - if ever - use an NIV because of its textual inconsistencies (eg, Mark 16).<br />I do consider the Alexandrian Codices to be corrupt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598228338802252094.post-38673793689808465362015-03-26T16:33:32.412-04:002015-03-26T16:33:32.412-04:00I used to by KJV-only.

To me, saying everyone should read only the KJV is a way of making God's Word inaccessible to common people. It is like how the Roman Catholic Church read the Bible only in Latin and banned vernacular translations which common people could understand. If Jesus doesn't come back for another 500 years, are we still going to be reading the KJV in 2500 AD?? The KJV will be even more incomprehensible then than it is now.
