How to get your church to abandon the KJV

"The KJV can be a more challenging version, due to the language usage, but it is also much richer in intensity of words chosen."

Richer in intensity of words. This is so true! The real Bible in English is not watered down to appeal to an apostate generation.

LOL

Your "source" is not a source at all.  In fact, it's just another Amazon.com customer named Virginia Barney, whose only other review on Amazon.com was a review of some third-rate greeting card software. Frankly, I don't give a nickel what some random person of unknown credentials thinks. 

See what Lisa Ruby considers a "source", folks?
Maybe we should ask your mailman what he/she thinks, Lisa?
Or maybe we should do an interview with your dog, Spot?

BWAHAHAHAHAH

Then you're self-deluded.
I'm sure that won't surprise anyone.

It is the sharpness -- the preciseness of the wording

Except that the wording is *not* precise.  That is how we get stuck with the many mistranslations of the same underlying Greek word. 

It's why we have stupid preachers trying to create non-existent differences between "eternal" and "everlasting". 
It's why we have clueless KJVOs thinking that God promised them a "mansion" when they get to heaven.
It's why people think that acts of generosity are what Paul was talking about when he discussed "faith, hope and charity".

If the KJV were precise -- as you erroneously try to claim -- then we wouldn't have these issues.
