I've admitted defeat. Truth is what I want. I've been convinced to abandon my original position to one that more accurately reflects the truth. From a KJVO position to a position away from it.
I grew up in King James Version. After much study I understand much that new Christians may not. I study in the NKJV. It is amazing though that when someone is quoting a different version I automatically quote in my mind the KJV. I do prefer Psalm in KJV as it’s more poetic.
I have never seen Twitter drama covered in such an elegant and stately manner.
Brilliant! Thank you. Yes, why not the NKJV?
Such a wonderful video and I love the respectful responses to this very delicate dilemma for many. I became a Christian not too many years ago and was brought up under the KJV as a new disciple. Having discovered this channel and changing opinion on particular topics such as this, my family has now come to use the ESV in our general use and study. My wife and children in partiuclar appreciated the change very much. They used to tell me how difficult it was to follow the preacher or to read to themselves because of the nature of the language used in the KJV. While I personally still love and prefer to have a KJV at my desk for reading and study, I also have the ESV to read alongside my family and for helping interpret things that I may otherwise miss. Thank you brother for all that you do. Your channel has been a beautiful blessing to our family.
I just am always impressed by your tone and gracious spirit in all your videos. Thank you!
I screenshotted one of your images and sent it to my pastor.

Brother Mark,
I gotta say this "Twitter drama" screams spiritual maturity!
My Dad was a pastor and preached from the KJV almost his entire life. He came from a KJVO background but had departed from that early on. But he still used the KJV because that is what he was familiar with and many in the congregation were KJVO. Anyway, I moved to the modern translations as a teenager and I would tease him about his sermons. I told him that half of his sermon was explaining what the KJV meant in modern English (essentially translating KJV English into modern English) and that his sermons would be much shorter if he only used a modern translation.
Thx Mark for your concerns for Textual truth. I'm currently 70 yrs old and for 42 of them have been a Christian. Having been down the translation gamut for many year's, I've finally came to a place of peace with this. And what brought this "rest" for me you mentioned @
If you think KJV is better, the most honest position to me seems to be - "I prefer the KJV, and generally trust it more than modern translations as it has stood the test of time." I don't share that particular view, but I can certainly respect it more than some of the hyperbolic denunciations of modern translations or the near-deification of the KJV text itself.
I always wondered where they got the he and she subheadings. I've never been KJVO, but now attend a church that is, not hard core, I think I've challenged the pastor. I like the KJV in church, but the pastor needs to know all the differences. I also just ordered Authorized from Amazon, so I can read it, and if the pastor wants more info, I'll have it on hand to give him, then I'll order a new one. Thanks.
I guess an example of the "hard and wrong" text might be the nova vulgata. Translated from the critical text, but in Latin.
I’ve seen KJVO advocates denounce the NKJV and deny that it even uses the TR because it has “critical text language” in it.
I believe the RV/ASV would exist in the blank bottom-left quadrant of your easy->hard "wrong"->"right" chart
The Song of Solomon in Hebrew example is excellent and I’ll no longer use the thee/ye issue. Thanks Bro. Ward!
So so good - I love it - I am also looking forward to a second edition (lord willing) of Authorized 🙂
In my run ins with your adversary, I'd hardly classify him as "gracious." You're being kind.
