the new king james version was rewritten by king james and his posse, it is not the same thing, you cannot just make up or believe in what part of the religion you wish to, it's all or nothing. why do people think that they can pick their own believes out of scripture and call it their religion?

I don't know why people only follow the old testament. I have to find the scriptures but in the new testament it states that some of the laws in the old testament was changed. The old testament is mostly about what not to do. I think people need to follow both, because the new testament says what you are alloed to do. There is a reason why there are two parts to the bible. I think that the new testament is not so condemning because when Jesus was born he realized how hard it can really be to be human.

I have no idea what you are talking about. The old testament is the story of creation leading up to the birth of Christ, it is followed and cited by Christians but mainly talks to the Jewish faith. King James modified the bible not to rewrite it, but to standardize the bible so it would be more accessible and understandable to the masses. You can still find "original text" bibles as well as pre-King James versions.

The NT is the fulfillment of OT Prophesy. This will be borne out
by a simple study of the Bible. All the Bible was written by the
descendants of Israel as they were inspired by Almighty God.

The most beautiful and traditional Catholic Bible in English!
Catholics looking for the traditional Catholic Bible in English
should look no further!
The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible, a version universally used in the Church for over 1500 years, itself meticulously translated from
the original Hebrew and Greek by St. Jerome (A.D. 340-420).
In 1546, the Council of Trent declared the Latin Vulgate Bible as authentic, and declared that “No one (may) dare or presume under any pretext whatsoever to reject it” (4th Session, April 8, 1546).
In 1943, Pope Pius XII stated that the continuous use of the Vulgate Bible in the Church for many centuries showed that it was “free from any error whatsoever in matters of faith and morals” (Divino Afflante Spiritu (1943), paragraph 21).
In 1749-1752, Bishop Challoner, knowing that many English Catholics were reading distorted Protestant versions of the Bible such as the King James Version (KJV), made major revisions to the Douay-Rheims version, to improve its readability without diminishing its accuracy.
The revised Douay-Rheims Bible has been approved by the Church many times over, including the approbation of Cardinal Gibbons for the 1899 edition that Baronius Press is publishing.
For over 300 years, the Douay Rheims Bible was the only Catholic English translation of Scripture used. It continues to be used officially in Catholic churches today.
Many anti-Catholics accuse the Church of having hidden Scripture from the faithful by refusing to translate it into the vernacular tongue. The Douay-Rheims was completed in 1609, and is therefore older than the King James Version, the oldest Protestant translation still in use, which was published in 1611. The Rheims New Testament was published nearly thirty years earlier, in 1582.
Further, the translators of the KJV make specific reference to the Douay version in their translators’ preface. It is commonly acknowledged that, in preparing the KJV, the translators made use of the Rheims New Testament and adopted many of its readings in preference to those of other English editions.
Since it was translated quite literally and with great reverence for each individual word from the Vulgate, which in turn reflects the structure of the original languages very clearly, the Douay-Rheims Bible can give great insight into the minds of the sacred authors. The notes, written by Bishop Challoner are
entirely faithful to the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church.

Hi!
The OLD testament law was kind of a "pre-school" teacher for the New testament life...The bible says it was "a shadow of the things to come"....Unfortunately people misunderstood this and now no longer consider the old testament as valuable...but I personally receive a lot of revelations from the OLD testament.God would not have written it for nothing.
The old testament is made up of the law,prophets and Psalms...all of these hang on one aspect that Christ wanted us to come to...LOVE!
On the other hand, in the bible, God Himself stopped certain sacrifices like the New Moon, Sabatical years etc.God is sovereign, if He decides He does not want something anymore, we have to obey in love for Him...The fact that God put it the bible does not mean, we should keep them(practice e.g. new moons etc)...so ought to be lead by the Holy Spirit as we read the bible...
THE BIBLE IS NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN CHRIST...it is for those who see themselves as sinners and want to be righteous.It is for those who hate UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in them and eventually cry to Jesus Christ as their only help.
Right now, the only sacrifice that God will accept is Jesus Christ's!!
Hug!

They can reject it all entirely as a warped Aesops fable, and commit to serving the human race instead of some imaginary friend in the sky.
