I need to buy a new King James Bible for my wife since my kid accidentally tore off her bible. She is missing pages and the covers. I told her that it would be very easy since the bible has been available in bookstores. I then told her that if we have some extra money, we will buy one.
I searched in the major bookstores, and to my surprise, there are very few to no more KJV Bibles. I was shocked at this discovery!! I can see other bible versions, specially the NIV, but very few KJV bibles. What could be the reason?
I guess that most bookstores think that the KJV is a very old bible. It is outdated thus not being used by most people these days. Some people rely on the modern day versions which are easier to understand. Like they say, this bible is so old that it may already be passe' to some people. It's the only bible used that has been published in the 1600's. The point also that this bible is written in old English, thus making it difficult to understand. But what is the significance of the KJV of the bible?
The King James Bible is God's preserved word. This bible was able to escape the being phased out. Just like the saying" An oldie, but still a goodie". When most old things either end up in antique shops or junk shops, this bible didn't. Even when modern day versions of bibles came out, The King James Bible is still being used today. That is why there is such a movement as KJV Only. Never heard of an ESV or NIV or NLT movement.
Sadly, Satan through the major corporations are little by little controlling even the bible publications. They may come a time that the KJV will be phased out to favor modern day translations which have missing verses. I pray that I can still buy some KJV bibles (around 3 or more) before it's too late.
