Living and Dying with the King James Bible
The King James Version (KJV) has been a gift of God to the Body of Christ. It has been the standard of truth and inspiration which has stabilized the Protestant Church and blessed millions of People. But someone needs to say the KJV is an inferior translation. In these pages, Harold R. Eberle clearly shows the errors and Biases of the KJV, hoping that you will consider the advantages of more modern Bible translations

Lost in Translation
When I first became a Christian I was birthed into a Holy Ghost, pentecostal, holiness church. They said the only bible I should read was the King James. I read the Bible from front to cover multiple times. I remember in one passage, I read that Paul was traveling to to the Easter festival. I looked up the Greek/Hebrew word and it was the word ‘Passover’. In my readings I also noticed that the word ‘hell’ in the KJB seemed to mistranslated in almost ever verse I saw in the Bible.
In over 40 years I never seen any book systematically written on this subject. There may have been one or several written , but I never saw it. Now that we have the internet, I just discovered Harold Eberle’s book ‘Living and Dying with the King James Bible’. The author has put out a book that graciously goes through the history of the King James Bible (KJB)and its many incorrect interpretation on many bible passages, verses and words. I found it amazing how an addition or subtraction or misinterpretation of a single word can change the whole meaning of its original intent, and even one word added could make whole doctrines passed down for over 400 years. This book was a short but a concise collection on some of the most glaring mistranslations found in the KJB, but not found in some of the newer translation such as the NASB that were based on older manuscripts and better translation.
Thank you Harold Eberle for being brave and writing ‘Living and Dying with the King James Bible’. I highly recommend this book! It was an easy and almost fun book to read. However, just as an added note, I got saved reading the book of Acts in the KJB. lol

It is a thought-provoking Read. I Love the King James Version and won't throw it away, but Eberle's book makes you think. He is gracious in his delivery and not harsh, yet at the same time provokes you to earnest thought.
