Just wanted to thank you. I'm a new subbie and I'm so grateful you're here.I own quite a few Bibles (how blessed is this country!) When I heard you say in another post (which I can't find right now) that your main go-to Bible was KJV, I did a little eye-roll and thought "Oh no, not a KJV-is-the-only-way" person! Then you explained that you do use other versions; the main reason for KJV was that it did not contain some of the mistranslations others do.I believe that you mentioned Ezek. 28:18-19, which many believe chronicles the fall of Lucifer in the future. For some reason that stuck in my mind, but I didn't think much more about it until this morning when I was doing my Scripture writing (copying, really) and Ezekiel 28: 18-19 was the portion to copy. Well! My own go-to has been my beat-up NKJ which seemed to indicate that this passage referred only to the past. You should have seen me going through nearly all of my Bibles (good thing I'm retired) and to a translation they indicated only the past "throw-down" of the evil one. The only Bible which seems as though it refers to the future of our enemy is my mother's very, very old KJV! That did it. I'm saving up for a KJV Journal the Word. Praise the Lord that we are free to have this much access to the Word, and can study it to our heart's (actually, "spirit's") content. Thank you again and know that I am inspired and uplifted by your posts.
awe! I'm so happy for you!! I used to be pretty much an "NIV-only" person. It was what was gifted to me by a pastor when I was a teenager. And I never saw any negative affect of using it. I also was an interpreter for the deaf and I just saw it as various ways to say the same thing. It has not been until I actually started studying the Bible the way I do now that I can't imagine using something other than the KJV as my base translations and see all other translations as a help. There are some other verses that have come up in my Bible studies with other people and it's been such an eye opener for me!!
TFS❣️many things you said resonated with me: 1) how lucky we are to have access to so many Bible translations, 2) how you’re preparing for if we don’t have access to resources and 3) your beloved KJV. I’m torn. At times I find it beautiful and confusing. When I read from the KJV I must slow down to comprehend. I just want to commit to one Bible - just having trouble finding it. Take good care.
I believe everything needed to be saved is in all translations. I have found the KJV pushes me to look at deeper meanings that I would have glossed over if I’d been in a different translation as my base translation. I was really nervous about switching to KJV at first but you really do get used to it like learning any language. For example “usward” is KJV for “toward us” … It stumped me at first but now when I see it my brain just immediate knows what it means.
@@biblenotetakingwithkatie it really is a great concept. Not only do you get all the information you would find in a Study Bible without the bulk, but there are also devotionals and videos.
I have used it when just listening to the Bible for enjoyment/ speed reading through to just get a flow of events. But usually I am only deep studying the Bible and, for that, I use the KJV and then, as needed, Bible Hub with lots of translations… typically though NLT and NKJV are the two translations that I trust the most.
@@halwiggam5465 I just default to the KJV and look at other translations to fill in my understanding better. I feel it gets easier as you become accustomed to it. I think, though, there is no 100% accurate translation... and so it's very important to dig into the original language.

Great information! I recently bought a filament Bible. I need to use it more often and take advantage of the technology.
I haven't actually tried the filament app out at all but it seems like a nice concept!
@@biblenotetakingwithkatie it really is a great concept. Not only do you get all the information you would find in a Study Bible without the bulk, but there are also devotionals and videos.
This video was packed with nuggets that are very useful when studying. Thanks for sharing have a wonderful day. Takecare
Thank you 💛 Enjoy your weekend
Do you read the NLT in your devotional time?
I have used it when just listening to the Bible for enjoyment/ speed reading through to just get a flow of events. But usually I am only deep studying the Bible and, for that, I use the KJV and then, as needed, Bible Hub with lots of translations… typically though NLT and NKJV are the two translations that I trust the most.
Why don't more people talk about readability. Good point about getting material off-line.
I’m curious… do you mean readability related to translation or font size?
@@biblenotetakingwithkatie yes easy to read but has to be accurate. Nlt has mistakes.
@@halwiggam5465 I just default to the KJV and look at other translations to fill in my understanding better. I feel it gets easier as you become accustomed to it. I think, though, there is no 100% accurate translation... and so it's very important to dig into the original language.
yes I have been going to the interlinear bible to verify some of the questable words.@@biblenotetakingwithkatie
@@halwiggam5465 Wonderful!! I have my eye on one but I'm needing to wait until the next birthday to get it.
