It's not smarts. It's just being willing to read and having sources to read.

I have been having great difficulty learning anything since I hit my head in my 2nd car accident in 2005. I can go over info several times and nothing sticks.

Off topic.

Sorry

I don't always retain everything either but my point is I have resources I can go re-read any time for information

Much of the controversy can be eliminated if we stick with the King James Bible. The manuscripts used to write this book has been proven to be genuine. I know some will disagree with this, but if you read the book, "Which Bible?" by David Otis Fuller, you will see the painstaking steps taken and the character of the men who translated it. I agree with what Sis. Alvear said about the early teachings. There is enough evidence to verify what we believe if we look carefully at the documents available. The Received text was passed down through centuries and almost all the manuscripts agree almost without exception. Sis Alvear said it, I believe it, that settles it! If I may borrow from a common quotation.

Bump for prax

also many times over the sources we read much of them have presupposed positions on the topic. Its hard to find unbiased material.

sis you can be. Ask God for it and He will deliver. Ive never been to bible college or anything. I surf the web. probably spend to much time doing it.

However i like church history, and i like stuff about the church fathers as well.

But again when you encounter deferent rescources you hardly ever get biased opinions.

on one website the study was called the apostate fathers, and he went to the list to discredit them.

On another we have the church fathers praised for sticking to there guns and getting marytred for Jesus.

So everyone walks away with the different view.

I personally however agree with many that what we have in the current Bible is enough, though i am not a Kjv only guy, I personally dont like the old english.

But out of respect to others i would preach from it. However i have many different translations that i use for personal study and reading. But most of it is done online cause i can get info quick and searches faster, than going to my personal library.

I also have some studies on my hardrive.

The KJV is one of the worst translations ever, despite what greek Text it was translated from
