Simeon joins me to share our conviction of why we use the King James Version of the Bible. Beginning with the foundation of understanding the different texts (the Byzantine family and the Alexandrian family) and moving to the means of translation(word-for-word, thought-for-thought, and paraphrase), he shares why the KJV lines up best with the original languages. We also address the question of the KJV being harder to understand, sharing insight and advice on how to "study to show thyself approved unto God."   Resources Referenced: Friendship Note Cards https://nohighercalling.org/shop/heart-and-home/friendship-note-cards/ Pastor Joe Shakour https://www.instagram.com/joeshakour/  A More Sure Word by R.
