In religious circles it may be the in thing to have the newest improved bible.
You may have unwittingly been swept up in this rush to have "A Better Translation". But be aware that that these "New" Bibles have over 5,000 differences in them when compared to the King James Bible.
The newer versions actually come from a corrupt text. It is not the thees and thous, it is that the manuscript is not the same as what the KJV Bible was taken from. There is no issue over translation it is over the TEXT that was translated.
If you want to know if you have one of these corrupted Bibles turn to Colossians 1:14. If this verse does not include the phrase "through his blood" then you have a bible that has been translated from a corrupt text.
Translators could not translate what was never there.
It is important to understand the process from which the King Jame Bible came from. Our bible came from an intervention of providence a preserving process naturally occurring within the doctrine of inspiration and preservation.
