**Hi elts,
If Protestants had real faith in what Jesus commanded of them, rather than knowledge about him that they obtain from reading one of their 100 corrupted, twisted, distorted and altered vesions of the Bible, and just obeyed the teachings of his real church just as he commanded 1500 years before their cults and groups were even formed.

**That is an amazingly ill-informed statement! **Would you like the opportunity to quote from any of the popular non-catholic Bibles ****that are used by millions of active and joyful Chirstians outside the Roman church and give me one example of how the verse is twisted and distorted as you lay it next to the RCC version?

Hi Martin,
You are an amazingly ill-informed individual. I wish you had promised to enter RCIA
Hey, can we make that deal now?
The KJV was revised many times between the date of its first unauthorized publication in 1611 and the Revised Version, around 1881, to make “correct” 3,800 “errors”.
Many revisions have been published without even being labeled as "revisions. Bottom line: "The KJV bible is a corrupt, distorted ,twisted, demented version of God’s word. No more, no less.
So let me start you with three verses, you do the rest, it will take years:

KJV and the Textus Receptus:
Now a little history lesson for you. Remember, I am not a bible scholar. And I am not as smart as many of you people here, therefore, I can only repeat what are historical facts.
In 787 AD The Ecumenical Council of Nicaea II, adopted the canon of Carthage. At this point, both the Latin West and the Greek / Byzantine East had the same canon. However, … The non-Greek, Monophysite and Nestorian Churches of the East (the Copts, the Ethiopians, the Syrians, the Armenians, the Syro-Malankars, the Chaldeans, and the Malabars) were still left out until 1442AD, in Florence. At the Council of Florence, the “entire” Church recognized the 27 books. This council confirmed the Roman Catholic Canon of the Bible which Pope Damasus I had published in 382 AD, over a thousand years earlier. So, by 1439, all orthodox branches of the Church were legally bound to the same canon. This was 100 years before the so called “Reformation”. During his translation of the Bible from Greek into German in 1536 AD, Luther removed 4 N.T. books (Hebrews, James, Jude, and Revelation) and placed them in an appendix because in his opinion they were less than canonical. He had no authority to do such so in 1546 AD, the Catholic Church reaffirmed once and for all the full list of 27 books at the council of Trent. That council also confirmed the inclusion of the Deuterocanonical books which had been a part of the Bible canon since the early Church and had been confirmed at the councils of 393, 373, 787 and 1442 AD. At Trent Rome actually dogmatized the canon, making it more than a matter of canon law, which had been the case up to that point, closing it for good or so we thought
From 1604 to 1611, King James1 had 47 protestant scholars rewrite the bible to ensure it would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its beliefs about an ordained clergy. This bible wasn’t never even authorized by the Protestant church after it was finished. The KJV actually was revised many times between the date of its first publication in 1611 and the publication of the Revised Version, which was published between 1881-1885. All these early KJV revisions were published without being labeled as “revised.” Though the NKJV provides a modern English rewording of the KJV wording, the NKJV still has all of the same errors that the KJV derived from Erasmus’ Greek New Testament, which is plagued with corrupt readings and also many more. Oh what a tangled web was weaved!
“The more nearly we can verify, understand, and obey Jesus’ actual words, actions, and life, the more we can cooperate with the demands (and opportunities) of his loving sacrifice, victory, and liberating salvation. These are demands that each one of us must ultimately face. With or without our cooperation, these demands and the genuine spirituality they require will increasingly compel us to “put off the old self with its habits and … put on the new self. This is the new being which God, its Creator, is constantly renewing in his own image, in order to bring you to a full knowledge of himself.” (Colossians 3:9,10 - TEV) Resistance to God’s demands - even ignorant resistance - is ultimately both futile and very uncomfortable; thus, it seems much more desirable and more efficient to participate willingly, humbly, lovingly, reverently, and understandingly. An accurate and understandable representation of especially Jesus’ and the apostles’ actual words and actions can be a big help!” - Robert Nguyen Cramer,

You even have a Protestant that writes, what I would have written as a Catholi. However I would have said all versions of the KJV Bibles not just the NKJV.
