Well, as you may or may not remember, I was having issues with my Bibles. I was memorizing Psalm 86 and noticed a word was wrong. I was annoyed at this, but still used my Bible. I contacted the company that made them and she told me that she has no idea how the word was printed wrong, but that it would be changed. Anyway, I had the bright I idea that I would use my Bible on tape to correct the few errors I found. I started in Matthew (because I like the New Testament, and I remembered a time when the kids and I were reading in either Matthew or Mark there were a few differences in the chapter we were reading) Anyway, as I said, I started in Matthew, by the time I got to verse 13 of chapter one, I had 17 misspellings of names! Now I can believe that a mistake can happen...but that! So, my point is, when you get a Bible make sure you know what you are getting... just because it says King James on the outside, doesn't mean it really is on the inside. If I had the time, I would go through the whole Bible and see how many errors I could find... but that as I found out tonight will be A LOT of work... maybe a summer thing just to see.
Anyway, if you want to see what one Pastor wrote you can look at this: http://www.baptistpillar.com/bd0161.htm
So, that is my little tid-bit of info... take it or leave it.
Luke 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written,
That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
