Have you noticed that very few professing Christians memorize scripture these days? Ever wonder why?
With all the new bible versions on the market one would be inclined to think they would be read more and memorized, since all publishers claim their new best thing is easier to read and understand than the last best thing. And all the new versions are promoted as easier to read, easier to understand, and more accurate than the AV1611 King James Version. But I beg to differ. Check this out.
A friend of mine has asked defenders of various new translations to quote John 3:16. They quote the verse but always do so just as it appears in the AV1611 King James Bible. Wonder why? Just trying to make you think. Selah.
