Which Version is the Bible?
To The Reader – The Sounding Of An Alarm
In the King James Bible, Isaiah 14:12, 15 reads:
How are thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!… Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell.
However, the New International Version pens:
How you have fallen from heaven O morning star, son of the dawn…but you are brought down to the grave.
Indeed, the New American Standard and all the modern versions read almost exactly like the NIV (except the NKJV).

A Generation Lost
By: Dalton A. Abshire, Sr.
Why are we losing so many of our Baptist youth today? The answer to this question can be stated in one word; THEOLOGY.

The system of theology we follow determines things such as: what church we attend, what philosophies our children are taught, what colleges they will attend, who they will marry, etc. Knowing this to be true, we can accurately link the problems of our youth today back to theology.
