BIBLE TRANSLATIONS/VERSIONS
snorky:
Absolutely, Ray is strictly a teacher given that position by God, and someone who has (I believe) been appointed by God to do what he does, to provide a source for helping us to get over Christendom and move us to look at the Bible study with eyes wide open...but I also believe that those who come to Ray's site have already been "seeking" the truth of the Bible, and with Ray's help "finding" it! Honestly I think those who come to Ray's site are there for a reason.
One other thing being to Ray's site has led me to do is to buy (or download if possible) various Bible translations. I used to rely on the King James, but now that I know they mistranslated "anions" into "for ever and ever" meaning "eternity" I know that I need other translations as well, so I got myself a "Concordant Literal New Testament" and use the NRSV as well, which is easier to read and often translates old Greek better than the KJV. I also have a NAB from my Catholic days, a couple of NIVs that my kids got at VBS years ago, and a "New King James' floating around somewhere. What i do if I can't discern something (according to God's will) I compare what's in the verse to another Bible or to the Concordant if it's new testament. Some like the Rotherham might be hard to get; the Geneva I know if very expensive.
Regardless, if God is leading you in the spirit to discernment, I really don't think it matters that much which one you use. Various versions though might help if you are trying to prove to someone else what Bible Truth is (still, you can't teach someone on your own just like you can't make a horse
drink the water you led hm to.)

I thought Bev's joke about the "boss" was funny. She did use the smiley to show she was joking. Least that was how I took it.
Anyway, I pretty much use the NewKJv just cuz I am used to it and I try to mark in it the errors in translation. I did buy a concordant and I just can't seem to get the hang of how to read it.
I love to study from e sword so I can put 3 translations up at once and compare-one always being the concordant.
I like the ISA to read the transliteration from Greek.
The Holy Spirit makes a great teacher indeed. A lot of the time He uses you all tho to teach me and I am greatful.

Hi Lisa,
What you said about,
--- Quote ---Personally, I prefer the older KJV, because I find the old fashioned thees and thous kind of eloquent,
--- End quote ---
that is me to the "T". I love the verses you used in 1st John about us having God's anointing. I believe this may mean we have His spiritual genetics. We don't have to try to be like Him. Over time His Dna/Rna teaches or imparts unto us naturally His spiritual characteristics. We do have to eat though. 1 Peter 2:2 - As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. It's beautiful being a part of the body of Christ. I've been searching to see if Ray has any articles on the line of God's children having His spiritual genetics. God is love. 1 John 4:8 - He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
IN CHRIST,
Bev
