Bro. Derick, God bless you and we love you. Your post reminded me of a phone call from a Minister who was up set that one of our members had been talking to his member about salvation and the Bible. Tho the Minister had attended seminary (arent you proud of me Dr P for not using cemetery) He told me he could not read or understand the KJV either. I just quoted I Cor. 2:14 Well he understood enough to slam the phone down and hang up on me. Bro. Jeff -- with ear still ringing. bahhahahahahahaa > > Jeff, > > I read John Bunyan and still have problems with the KJV. Secondy, I > read Jonathan Edwards and have problems with the KJV.
