THE STORY OF ME AND MY KJV.---In one month I will have my 89th birthday. When my dad was this old I asked him to tell me about his mother and dad. He said his dad was an atheist, and used to whip his little sons with a blacksnake whip to make them work the cotton fields. The harvest was in Wichita Falls Texas, and they would travel all the way from Commerce Texas in a covered wagon to get there. His dad was always in a hurry to make camp before nightfall, so he would open the mules to a trot. He made the kids walk, but they had to also trot to keep up. Naturally, they became exhausted, but he would crack their knuckles if they tried to hang on to the wagon.
When I asked Dad about his mother, he said when he was about seven and his brother was about six, they were playing in the woods one day when they heard a woman loudly praying, her voice echoing through the trees. They sneaked up close to her, and discovered that it was their mother. She dared not pray at home. They never told her they heard her praying. My daughter searched grandmother's ancestry and found that she was a Quaker.
The last time I saw my grandmother was when I was only 16 years old. She was sitting in a rocking chair, smiling at me. On the table beside her lay her Bible. I know now that it was a KJV. My dad and uncle went through a hail of bullets in two world wars, both wounded; my oldest brother barely survived a Japanese suicide plane, and I survived the cutting edge of defense in the U. S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command. I believe we all survived because of my Grandmothers prayers, all of them hatched from the perfection she found in the words of her old faithful King James Bible, the KJV. I can't be sure, but I'll just bet you my Grandfather went to Heaven because he found it impossible to get through Grandma's KJV iron-clad prayers to go to Hell.
You probably been on for a while now, I've been absent due to work related commitments.
I'm doing some catching up and read a few of your replies.
I and many others believe the bible is all you need to feed on the Lord. You can use computer search engines and dig up the history of other men material but nothing beats your person to God relationship through his word. after all it's the Holyspirit that does the teaching not man or the internet.
You may use these sources as methods to assist you with truth they're helpful. the internet has a 100 answers on every topic.
But Jesus says my sheep hear my voice. His lost sheep will find him.
