How To Understand the King James 1611 Bible

#1 - Scriptures

This is a teaching class consisting of discussion and review of all the verses that will help anyone develop a simple understanding of the King James Bible. The entrance of his words gives understanding to the simple. It is the scholar and professor that is not able to understand the King James Bible. Come join us - and be sure to bring your kids. They also can learn how to understand a King James Bible! - Pastor Mike Paulson

We will be taking our time - taking notes - taking quizzes and having general discussions about these verses. My hope is that we can actually 'learn' these verses - not just learn from them or just learn from hearing them. Let's learn the verses themselves and learn where they are located so we can show others how this Bible works - and how SIMPLE it is to understand a King James 1611 Bible.

Tonight, we reviewed the verses we discussed in part 1 from this morning's class session.

We even took a quiz, something we will do often as we try to actually 'learn' these things so we can not only have our own assurance, we can see if we can help others with this understanding!

We then added a few more verses in our discussion of the words of God / Word of God..

II Timothy 3:16,17
Amos 8:11-13
Ephesians 1:13

Then we discussed the differences in all the bible 'versions' when it comes to II Timothy 2:15,16. We saw the emphasis being put on 'works' and just how serious the differences are between all the versions.

The most important observation is that the King James Bible is the only Bible that tells us to rightly divide the word of truth. That verse is the key verse when it comes to understanding that ole KJB! New versions only confuse people and take away their understanding!

**Only One Bible teaches Rightly Dividing!**
II Timothy 2:15,16 KJB1611	*Study to shew thyself approved unto God*	*rightly dividing the word of truth*	*shun profane and vain babblings*	*increase unto more ungodliness*
NIV	Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved	correctly handle the word of truth	Avoid godless chatter	those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly
NASB	Be diligent to present yourself approved to God	accurately handling the word of truth	avoid worldy and empty chatter	lead to further ungodliness
Message	Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won't be ashamed of...	laying out the truth plain and simple...	Stay clear of pious talk. Words are not mere words, you know.	If they are not backed by a godly life, they accumulate as poison in the soul.
Amplified	Study and be eager ... do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial)	accurately analyzing and accurately dividing (rightly handling and skillfully teaching) the Word of Truth	Avoid all empty (vain, useless, idle) talk...	it will lead people into more and more ungodliness.
NLT	Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval.	Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.	Avoid worthless, foolish talk...	...that only leads to more godless behavior.
NKJ	Be diligent to present yourself approved to God	rightly dividing the word of truth	shun profane and idle babblings...	increase to more ungodliness
NCV	Make every effort to give yourself to God as the kind of person he will approve.	uses the true teaching in the right way.	Stay away from foolish, useless talk	because that will lead people further away from God.
AS	Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God...	handling aright the word of truth	shun profane babblings	they will proceed further in ungodliness
Darby	Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God...	a workman that has not to be ashamed	cutting in a straight line the word of truth, profane, vain babblings shun,	for they will advance to greater impiety.
NIV - (UK)	Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved	who correctly handles the word of truth	Avoid godless chatter	...those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.

Next time

At the end of the service, we did a fast 'review' of rightly dividing as we practiced drawing our 'napkin version.' We will do more with that in part 3 at our next service / or / sunday school session.

The entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn from the "For" and we try to apply the 'TO!"
