A little history might be interesting. Back in the 1890's, Professor James Strong and several associates, stringently evaluated all Bible versions of the era and chose the KJV to key their "Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible" to. At that time, the KJV was the most accurate translation that the scholars evaluated and even today, many Biblical scholars feel that the KJV is still the most accurate.
In 2002, my own committee of volunteer analysts agreed that the KJV was less manipulated than any other version that we evaluated. Our ministry uses the KJV and the vintage* Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (pre 1991) from Nelson Publishing, for instruction. We also found that the New Living Translation Bible (NLT) is as accurate, in general terms, as the KJV, but is written in modern English. We use the NLT as a daily reader. If we see something in the NLT that we wish to do an in-depth study on, we go to the same verse or wording in the KJV and then take the wording back to the original Hebrew, Aramaic or 'street' Greek, using the vintage* Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, for a better understanding.
(Note *: Some Concordances published after 1991 from publishers other than Nelson Publishing, have been manipulated and in some cases, no longer provide proper clarity in concepts for word usage.)
I'd like to also mention that our ministry is non revenue generating. We do not accept any funding, tithing, free will gifts, contributions, or donations at any time from anyone. We teach from the heart - not from what might be found in someone's wallet or check book.
