Question: Is the King James Version of the Bible acceptable for use in school papers?
I cannot say as regards Examination Papers; but as a Christian, and Bible enthusiast; I have not personally found a better Document for prayerfully seeking Truth!
With Truth as the obvious criterion in this endeavour, as the ultimate ‘fall-back’ resource, when on a meaning search, other translations have a place in seeing other translators comments and explanations; but it is well known that many Scholars consider modern translations as in serious error regarding the standard Church Doctrines; but on the contrary, It is certainly the case that “Church Doctrines” are in serious error regarding their teachings on Salvation, prophecy, and the Godhead; especially the “Old Churches”!
In many cases, when seriously pertinent questions are raised by serious students regarding understanding Bible Words and phrases, they are avoided in many cases, so as not to deviate from the Group/Church standard norm.
As Pilate said to our Lord; “what is Truth”; we know from the Bible and Jesus’ Comments, that He is the “Way, The Truth, and The Life”; so that as the “Spirit of Truth” is with us now, prayerful effort will be rewarded with Truth!
It is important not to be discouraged by the “blocking” that will automatically appear to sincere questions, and as one very Spiritual Vicar once said; “don’t look for Satan in the flesh pots of the world, but in the Pulpit”!
