One of the primary things that drew me to the Landover Baptist community is our absolutely indisputable and unchangeable belief that the ONLY approved scriptural references are those found in the King James 1611 version of our Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is the inerrant and inspired WORD OF GOD and is our roadmap (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Fake Christians - including Catholics, JW's, and most Methodists (Remember - Hellary Clinton is a self-proclaimed Methodist) use mamby pamby versions of the Bible, watered down so as not to offend.
Friends, there have even been attempts to feminize GOD ALMIGHTY by changing masculine pronouns to feminine. Ridiculous! My God scratches his balls proudly and come the Glory, HIS wrath will fall upon those who have desecrated His masterpiece, our Holy Bible.
A Catholic priest was speaking on the radio (my coworker has her radio on EWTN constantly) about how unimportant it was that versions of the Bible remove entire verses. He says it is "for clarity," and that "After all, the Bible is passed down from oral traditions, there are always improvements that need to be made - and, of course, the Bible is not the only source of information about the way to serve GOD. Mother Church and Her traditions have been an inseparable complement to the Sacred Scriptures. It takes BOTH to truly understand what it means to be a good Catholic and what it means to be a good Christian." HOGWASH! I have researched the mess that is the NIV and the "New World" JW trash and found the following shocking information. Friends, please PRAY as you read this:

Right under the line it says: [The two most reliable early manuscripts do not have Mark 16:9-20] (NIV, 1978 ed.) The Jehovah's Witness "Bible" also places the last 12 verses of Mark as an appendix of sorts.

What are you NIV readers missing? What does the real Bible say?
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE WORD OF GOD; I HOLD IT HIGH: KJV 1611! (Revelation 22:19) is not to be mocked or ignored!
