IF one remembers that bishop means overseer, etc., then many features of the KJV render it trustworthy.

And like I have said before.. I you want an Anglican centric version of the bible.. the all means us the KJV.

But if you aren't Anglican, I can see no logical reason to use the KJV because of its bias.

John 3.16 contains great theology.

Read God's Word prayerfully every day.

Try vacationing in the South: plenty of sun, and some great churches down there!

(And if folks feel they must have tattoos, have you considered having them in faith related designs?)

There are a lot more issues then just that.. the use of the word church for example.. teachings on marriage for example.  Pretty much anything that could have impacted existing anglican dogma was altered when translated.

The majority text translations (Textus Receptus as one), come from the Byzantine group of manuscripts and are significantly different from the Alexandrian group of manuscripts of which Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vatican are the earliest known complete copies.

That the Alexandrian Catechetical School (out of which the minority group of manuscripts were written) was rife with heresy, should be sufficient for us to regard very carefully the eclectic translations that have relied significantly on that minority manuscript source ( NIV, NSAB, NEB etc.).

But I would caution against dismissing every modern translation that does not fully conform with the majority text manuscripts. In all but a few instances, the differences are slight and not sufficient to corrupt and destroy the faith of those who read them. I prefer the KJV and NKJV to the NIV and NASB but I do use other Bibles for comparisons and explanatory notes -- even the Jerusalem Bible.

I find it an interesting observation that it was the Alexandrians with whom Stephen was disputing when he was stoned. They did not believe that Jesus came in the flesh.
I concur with your comments

I'm not sure about this logic.  The Jews crucified Christ, did they not?  The oracles of God were committed to the Jews - were they not?  Does logic allow us to conclude that since the Jews as a nation rejected Christ that we no longer regard the Jewish influence of the scriptures?

Truthfully, I find the majority of the dialogue in this thread to be quite curious. 

BLESSINGS,

The story is told of four ministers discussing the pros and cons of various Bible translations and paraphrases. Eventually each stated which version, in his opinion, is the best.
The first minister said he used the King James because the Old English style is beautiful and produces the most reverent picture of the Holy Scriptures.
The second said he preferred the New American Standard Bible because he felt it comes nearer to the original Greek and Hebrew texts.
The third minister said his favorite was the paraphrased Living Bible because his congregation was young, and it related to them in a practical way.
All three men waited while the fourth minister sat silently.
Finally he said, "I guess when it comes to translations and paraphrased editions of the Bible, I like my Dad's translation best. He put the Word of God into practice every day. It was the most convincing translation I've ever seen."
