Those Presbyterians are in error for believing that Sunday is the Sabbath. Sunday is the Lord's Day. Saturday is the Sabbath. Depends on the type of calendar. Probably theirs ends with Sunday, like many do. |

Hi there Mike. It depends on what you mean by Anglican. If you mean that part of the Anglican communion in fellowship with the liberal side, I think the answer is no. I don't know for sure, because I don't attend any Anglican congregation. I suppose the more conservative ones still use it. There's a conservative Anglican group here who borrows my home church's facilties for their services. I'll take a look and see what I find out. I thought about visiting one of their services, so.....more to come, OK? On the other hand, the KJV may still be the "official" version of the Scriptures, but is in disuse, particularly among the liberals. I'll see what I can find out. I am personally interested to know also. Stay cool.  |

Almost the reverse of the approach adopted by previous generations, when a great many not only learned English by using the Bible, but who also learned better English by the same means. Exactly my approach. My proposal is not a bunch of new versions but a return to or at least an enriching of our English knowledge so we can appreciate what the older language has to offer us. Kids are still learning classical languages in school for a reason, so why not a more developed and useful English? Oh well, I speak as a linguist and know what more "complex" languages are able to convey to the reader, but hey, Biblicist, at least we agree on something for a change! |

In case you have not read it Jim, I should tell you that its written in English!! And a much more precise English, something that can more readily relay meaning from the original languages. |

Any acceptable Bible has to be in contemporary English, which of course is the view of most Fundamentalists. I have a different proposition: Revive interest in speaking the more precise and accurate English of days gone by..aka..something equivalent to AV English, maybe without the thee and thou and a few other things, but then again those are there for a reason that can be found in the original languages of the Scriptures. However, with a little time and study the KJV can be easy to understand. |

The Defined King James Bible explains all archaisms and also has a grammar guide. Sounds like something possibly investing in, though I shy away from Bibles with commentary notes inside. Sounds helpful for those who have a fear of the AV anyway. I used to have a copy of the original 1611 AV and wished I'd kept it. Oh well, my simple AV pew Bible has served me well for a few years now. Think I'll hang on to it. |

Mike, please look at my location above  . Potatoland, but enjoying fresh beans and zuchini from the garden now. NASB more literal? Hmm...literal translation, you say? What type of English is used in it--the modern simplified dialect or something with more precision as in times past? |

Maybe they should put a disclaimer in there: "In addition to archaisms, important theological terms and verses have been removed."
