The following is a question I read in "Messianic Perspectives" (previously called the Christian Jew prior to becoming politically correct) Newsletter. "The King James Version of the Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10), but other Bible versions say that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. I think the second translation (non-KJV) is more accurate because money seems to have nothing to do with sins like lust or jealousy. What do you think?"
How do we know that the 1611 King James Bible is the divinely inspired one, and not an earlier English translation?
With so many religions and religious texts, how can we know the Bible is true, and that Christianity is the right way of living out the biblical text?
Please don't be alarmed by my question. I am doing some research, and some questions are coming to light. Here are a few:
The Gospels seem to contradict one another when they show Jesus' last words. I am attempting to show a person that the King James Bible doesn't contradict itself, yet I didn't really have a good explanation for this, other than each account gives some of Jesus' last words and perhaps not literally the last words.
