March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

I know, it's rather confusing with all these editions and versions. Hard at first to keep track of the translators and which text they did, but it centers on the texts of 1769. Anything after that I believe should not be labeled a bible, but a commentary.

Scrivener is not good. Look up the history of the Cambridge texts.

My opinion is that the Oxford is the real bible text, and it should have stopped at the Blayney Oxford Standard Text of 1769. No more bibles should have been "translated" into english after that.

So pretty much, if you have an Oxford, compared to a Cambridge, there WILL be differences in it?

Here's the Local Church Bible Publishers web site(where you can buy KJVs for really good prices), here's what they state...

http://www.localchurchbiblepublishers.com/about/history/

I researched everything I could find out about this enormous project and began to share my burden with pastors. I started to raise money to get this project going. Finally, I had $11,000 and I was able to buy signatures (unsewn Bibles) from Oxford and then have good covers put on them. Next, I bought some Bibles from the bindery and they put covers on for me. This continued for several years, and we brought them to churches and let people give us a love offering for them. The cost to produce them was $20-$30 each and we got love offerings of 25 CENTS for one up to $100. God “balanced the books” and increased our faith. Then, one day, a pastor friend told me that the Bibles I had on my table were not true King James Bibles. I was appalled. He said they had many changes in them, and after MUCH research, I found out he was right.

What is the Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE) text or the 1900 edition Cambridge?
These are both the same text and they are also known as the Standard text. It is an out-of-print Cambridge text, determined to be ‘pure’ by Mr. Verschuur, a young and ambitious Pentecostal man from Australia. His research is fairly exhaustive, and he is to be commended for it. But his conclusions, that the Cambridge text he uses is in all points superior to other Cambridge texts, cannot be defended, at every point. On these points he relies on his ‘Pentecostal’ experiences to defend them, as described in his book, “Guide to the Pure Cambridge Edition of the King James Bible.” For more information, please contact us.

Are any of your Bibles the Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE) text?
No. We do not carry the PCE because it lowercases the “s” in I John 5:8 and we believe, based on the context of I John 5:6, the “Spirit” should be capitalized. Please see this letter from Cambridge-->http://www.localchurchbiblepublishers.com/wp-content/uploads/CambridgeLetter.pdf. For more information, please contact us.

What do you guys think? Huh
