Oop, I guess I was supposed to say my favorite verse when I did introduction. Well I've only ever used the NIV Bible so I'm not used to the one used here. (Would Martin Luther approve? j/k) I'll go with the one most relevant to the persecution in my life. James 3:10
Here's a great Luther hymn btw. Massively underrated. http://cyberhymnal.org/htm/o/l/l/olldfhvn.htm

Welcome, friend. It seems the LORD brought you here just in time. The NIV (per)version of the Holy Bible is a tool of satan, designed to lead would-be Christians down a false path. False translations are of the devil and only serve to sow discord among Jesus' elect.

This country has strayed far from its evangelical roots. This decadence kicked into overdrive in the early 20th century as false translations of the Bible, based on Roman manuscripts, began to appear on our shores. In fact, since the arrival of our modern English translations, beginning with the ASV of 1901, America has seen:
1. God and prayer kicked out of our public school
2. Abortion-on-demand legalized
3. Homosexuality accepted nationally as an "alternate life style"
4. In-home pornography on-demand via TV, VCR, DVD, and Internet
5. Child kidnapping and pornography running rampant
6. Dope-smoking has become an epidemic
7. Satanism is on the rise
8. Video games and dark rock-n-roll music which encourage our children to become homosexuals and school shooters are prevalent

The depraved Madison Avenue sales system that brings false Bibles into the country should set alarms ringing in American "Christians." Instead, deluded by television, they dutifully nod and remark that, "It must be good; everybody's buying one."

Is there any "good" coming from modern translations? Surely. The publishing companies are making millions.

Today American "Christians" are spiritually anemic. They turn instead to their favorite "Bible psychologist" for help rather than Scripture. America as a whole is as morally decayed as Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ezekiel 16:49
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

From the time of its publication in 1611, the King James Bible has grown in popularity. Although not mandated by the King to be used in the churches of England, it did, in a matter of a few years, manage to supplant all of the versions translated before it. Though it was not advertised in the Madison Avenue fashion of today's versions, it soon swept all other versions from the hearts and hands of the citizenry of England and its colonies.

With the conquest of the British Empire behind it, it crossed the Atlantic to the United States. Landing here it overwhelmed the double foothold of the Roman Catholic Church planted previously under the flags of Spain and France.

It then began to permeate young America with its ideals. Its Truths led to the establishment of an educational system, based on Scripture, that was unparalleled in the world. It instilled in men the ideals of freedom and personal liberty - thoughts so foreign to the minds of men that their inclusion in our Constitution could only be described as an "experiment" in government.

It commissioned preachers of righteousness who, on foot and horseback, broke trails into the wilderness and spread the Truth of the Gospel and of right living. In its wake was left what could only be described..."one nation, under God..." This accomplished, it set out for the conquest of the heathen world. Bible colleges (Princeton, Harvard, Yale) were founded. Mission societies formed. And eager young missionaries began to scour the globe with little more than a King James Bible and God's Holy Spirit.

If you don't have access to your own copy of God's perfectly preserved Word (KJV 1611, Pure Cambridge Edition), you can print out a copy here and put it into a set of spiral notebooks.
