“Did you realize that, in your introduction posts, you didn't even mention Jesus Christ? There's nothing here to indicate to us that you ever came to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow of sins) and faith in Christ. Therefore, the only thing I would recommend to you on the way out is this:”

Did you realize that you conveniently ignored my next comment? Was that an accident, or are you being less than sincere in your effort to call my Christian authenticity into question before your group? Either way there’s no harm inflicted on me. Anyone with critical thinking skills can draw an accurate conclusion as to what’s going on in this forum. I asked a simple and sincere question regarding a KJV for kids, and it’s hijacked while you lurk in the shadows. Strange indeed!

 I admonish you to consider Psalm 139 23-24. David (one of the most devout men of God in human history) is looking inward and asking God to affirm that his will is inline with God’s purpose. I admonish you to do the same.

Good fortune to you on the rest of your earthly life’s journey. Now, you can add me to your trophy wall of the “banned!”

I tabled the matter before our home church group yesterday (Perhaps I should have done that to begin with,) and we had a round table discussion about it. We’re still looking into it, but what we’re leaning towards at this point is that the King James bible can’t be made into a kid’s version without either adding to, or taking away from. This can be accomplished through foot notes or pictures, and the ones we’ve looked at so far do just that. Children are targets for deception, and we can’t be too careful.
As far as me seeking fellowship what I’ve experienced with this thread isn’t the sort that I’m in need of. I’d respectfully withdraw from the forum, but I see no way to do that which, I don’t understand.

I’d asked for opinions whether a KJV bible for kids is necessary, appropriate, and safe. Im sorry, but there should be nothing difficult to understand about that. Ive shared my comment with six others, and they weren’t confused by it at all. So, It’s really strange that it’s such a confusing issue here.

Regardless, I’m checking into it. I’ll be happy to share what I find if someone is genuinely interested.

Thanks Timothy! Enjoy your day

Absolutely! I’m always thankful for an opportunity to share with others what I’ve learned to help them along, and if anyone asks I’ll do it.  That’s what I was looking for here today. We all need support at some time or another.
Thanks Kenneth

I never used the word “vet”.  Do you honestly think Im going to go with what you, or anyone else here says without question? If you do you’re being presumptuous. I asked for opinions hoping for some meaningful dialogue to help me do my own vetting.  Instead, it seems you’re more interested in a debate.
To answer your question in regards to what metric I use to verify the authenticity of a King James bible I simply say this; hopefully the same one you do.
Im through commenting to you about this Kenneth.
Enjoy the rest of your day

Did you actually read my original comment? Why are you trying to lead me in a direction totally unrelated to what i asked for? Are you not sure how to determine the God authorship of a King James bible? If you aren’t there’s an excellent teaching on it right here on CLE. It’s really good!

I respectfully submit to you that Im not going to allow this to be turned into a debate. If you can’t share a related experience or opinion that’s perfectly fine.

To my King James bible as I indicated in my original comment. As I also mentioned I’d be ordering it sight unseen. I just thought someone here might have insight they could share to help. No big deal!

Anything that’s been deceptively altered. It’d no longer be a King James Bible of course, but that wouldn’t stop someone from calling it that to make a sale.  I approach everything with caution and discernment in our age of deception.

Id like opinions whether a KJV bible for kids is necessary, appropriate, and safe. Im looking to get one for my grandkids, but something is causing me to have reservations about it. I suppose it’s knowing how most everything today is being deceptively altered. That, and the fact that I’ll be ordering it without having the opportunity to review it first hand. Although, id certainly review it before giving it to them. Has anyone had experience with these?

What's New @ CLE / Re: (TRACTS) Why Millions of Believers on Jesus Are Going to Hell Complete File

« on: March 16, 2023, 05:13:48 AM »

I know this is an old post, but im wondering if you’ve spoken with the baptist preacher since then. I find that Baptists are the most difficult to get to understand the definition of repentance. Especially the ones who are second or third generation and were born into it.

« on: March 06, 2023, 07:11:38 AM »

I’m about to embark on a fast as well. So, your comment came at a most welcome time for me. Fasting is something that I haven’t heard talked about in a very long time. I don’t think churches teach it anymore. I think one of the things self denial does is show God we’re sincere. We need to practice it more often, and the only tip id have for you is to pray and seek God at the same time.  Thanks for sharing

Im no expert, but five days might be a long time for a first fast especially if you’re feeling weak.  Im sure others with more experience will weigh in on the subject

id like to ask the author of that review to explain who the people are who Christ says will be turned away who were totally convinced they knew Him, and served Him. Who are those people? The author doesn’t spend any time addressing that. I’ve never heard it even discussed outside of CLE.

Most who profess Christianity today are worldly. Why would that be surprising considering Most churches are nothing but social clubs driven by worldly entertainment?

Right! Have to try. Im not saying they can’t be Christians. They just need to understand the reality of what’s going on, and the danger they might be in. Churches are leading lots of people to hell with their false doctrines.

« on: February 14, 2023, 01:22:53 PM »

Has anyone here been able to reason with a typical church goer regarding 501c3, and get them to see the biblical definition of repentance? Im trying it, but it’s been futile this far. Im not dogmatic about it or anything. Just try to put it out there. So far, none have been willing to even consider it.

I believe tradition plays a major role. I mean, from the cradle Christmas traditions are presented to us in our culture, and churches tell us that Christmas is all about Jesus. Most never bother to question what they’ve been told since birth is the norm. Plus, anyone who dares not participate in the nonsensical festivities is branded a scrooge. That alone should give people pause when they’re told “it’s all about Jesus.” I personally think it’s all very demeaning to Him.

Thanks Chris! I just personally find it distasteful to portray Christ as a regular man with a birthday. Kinda rediculous, and demeaning.
