We are in a day of rapid change, churches who were once Bible-believing have changed, by using other methods of bringing people to church. This actually started when Christians suddenly started using one of the many modern English translations of the Bible (RV, ASV, NASB, NIV, NEB,NRSV, NKJV, ESV, and the list is continuing to grow) abandoning the long used King James Version, read and loved by English-speaking people of all ages and walks of life for over many generations. But this Creationist loves and only uses the King James Bible because it was developed by 54 translators who were godly men who believed strongly in the infallible and full authority of Scriptures and who, therefore, believed in the literal historicity of Genesis, with its record of six-day Creation and the worldwide Flood. This has not been true of many who have been involved in producing the modern corrupt man-made versions.
For a long time, the "official" English version used in each Bible-believing Church was the King James Version. But now, however, confusion reigns. Congregational unison reading of the Bible is no longer possible, and church members often do not even bring their Bibles to church. The pastor of these type of churches, preaches from one version and the people in the congregation each have a different version of their own, so they cannot follow the pastor anyway, and thus they just listen, and soon forget. Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ is not the Author of confusion. "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." (I Corinthians 14:33)
I believe therefore, after studying, reading and loving the Bible for many years, that Christians especially creationists, need to hang on to their old King James Bible as long as they live. God has uniquely blessed in the history of England and America, in the great revivals, in the worldwide missionary movement, and in the personal lives of believers since 1611. The King James Bible is the most beautiful, the most powerful, and I "strongly believe" the only Book for English-speaking people to have until our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ returns! It is the "sword of the Spirit" (Ephesians 6:17) and sharper than any two-edged sword. "For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
As a creationist, I "earnestly contend for the faith" (Jude 3), using the King James Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. These 66 books(39 Old testament & 27 New testament) are our guide in the last days of the Church age before the Lord Jesus Christ comes in the Rapture (translation (catching away) of the Church) for His bride before the 7 year tribulation comes upon the Earth (Revelation 3:10). "I know thy works behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and has not denied my name." (Revelation 3:8) Amen!!!
