Thank you for the Light of Christ that shines forth in your powerful ministry! How God can take the guiles of the Devil (Legos®) and create something like the Brick Bible to be used for His Own Glory to share God's Holy Word with the densest and simplest among us is truly amazing! Let God be praised!

I am enjoying the ever increasing Grace and Wisdom God is giving me through all the True Christians™ at Landover Baptist. We all know full well how Satan has twisted God’s Holy Word and has deceived those other “would-be Christians” into the snare of Satan by masquerading as “God’s Word” in the form of many false translations (Mark 14:56).

I've been searching the lessons and sermons online, but I'm unable to determine the actual Landover Baptist official, authoritative stance on an issue.

Here is the situation:

I have a collection of various Bibles in my library, and I have two versions of the Only Authorized Translation of the KJV 1611. There were a couple other versions claiming to be genuine KJV 1611, but I didn't see the need for a Nego-centric or Semite-centric version of God's Word for anything. One is KJV 1611 (as God’s anointed King Iames perfectly spaketh himself); and the other is KJV 1611 (Cambridge Edition, Red Letter Edition which claims to be the same One True Authorized translation with a few minor editing changes, and NOT a new translation like those other false translations; even graciously highlighting our Lord’s very Words in the color of His Precious Blood for True Chrisitians™ to quickly find when working with unsaved sinners bound for Hell.)

For example, here are two versions of the same text (James 1:2-8)

In the original King James Version of 1611:
“2 My brethren, count it all ioy when ye fall into diuers temptations, 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience, 4 But let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect, and entier, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, that giueth to all men liberally, and vpbraideth not: and it shalbe giuen him. 6 But let him aske in faith, nothing wauering: for he that wauereth is like a waue of the sea, driuen with the wind, and tossed. 7 For let not that man thinke that he shall receiue any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is vnstable in all his wayes.”
Now, the same passage in the King James Version of 1611, Cambridge Edition:

“2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”


(I’m a bit partial to Epistle of Saint James, as it’s my own God-given Christian namesake (Proverbs 22:1).)

There is a notable difference, particularly in physical appearance (fonts/letters/spelling), and the Cambridge Edition would definitely be easier for any non-True Christians™ to read and comprehend. My question is, Is the Cambridge Edition truly God's Word (KJV 1611)? and if so, which edition would you recommend for True Christians™?
Pastor is somewhat busy at the moment, but I will try my best to help you. The differences you're pointing to between the original 1611 KJV and the 1900 KJV edition (which is what your Cambridge edition looks like) are limited to form, not content. These differences are due to a very unfortunate fact that all languages change; I must admit that it is a very disappointing aspect of languages (due to the fall, I suppose - humanity as a whole has been degrading ever since Adam and Eve left Eden), but what can we do.

When the KJV was originally published, English has already began to undergo the great vowel shift, a linguistic change which continued until the 1700's. While spelling rules tend to change slower (and up to two centuries later) than pronunciation, they also do change.

Therefore, the differences between KJV 1611 and 1900 are in spelling only. The true problem is with false translations - the ones that don't just change the spelling, but the whole meaning of Bible passages.

Here you can see the actual differences between different Bible versions (the versions chosen are KJV 1900 and Wycliffe's Bible, from the 14th century, but you can easily switch to a variety of modern English translations, as well as a few translations in other European languages).
