-====== Why the King James Bible? ======
-by [[https://www.hbcbluesprings.org/our-leaders/ | Pastor Alan Shelby]]
-Alan Shelby taught this series as part of the Kansas City Baptist Temple's Shepherds School of Ministry Bible Institute curriculum. Three first three messages were “preached” to a church congregation during a Bible conference; the last four were given to a class during the KCBT Bible Institute (Shepherd's School of Ministry).
-Many pastors today have left a "faith-based position" with regard to the Scripture. Alan addresses this issue in no uncertain terms and reminds us of what the Bible says about itself--its inspiration and its preservation down through history in the English language.
-This course will also serve the student of the Bible by giving him a basic outline of the issues surrounding the history of the English Bible (especially dealing with the "KJV-Only Controversy"). Any one of these seven lessons could be further researched and developed by anyone with the desire to do the homework (Alan was even kind enough to provide a concise bibliography).

-The first message in the series: Why the King James Bible?
-**Thesis:** The Bible is precious today because it is the only way we get direct, special revelation from God.
-  * **Point 1:** Samuel was a believer, but he did not know the Lord like he needed to because he did not know where to find the Word of God like he needed it.
-  * **Point 2:** If you want to get an "open vision," you have to submit your ideas, opinions, and attitude to what God is going to tell you.
-  * **Point 3:** Building faithfulness in your life starts with your attitude toward the Word of faith in the Bible.

-O SOUL, are you weary and troubled?
-No light in the darkness you see?
-There's a light for a look at the Savior,
-And life more abundant and free!
-His Word shall not fail you--He promised;
-Believe Him, and all will be well:
-Then go to a world that is dying,
-His perfect salvation to tell!
-Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
-Look full in His wonderful face,
-And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
-In the light of His glory and grace.

-The second message in the series: Why the King James Bible?
-**Reference:** 2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16
-**Thesis:** The Reformation led to the discovery of biblical preservation so that God's revelation could go through translation and give a new generation God's inspiration.
-**Definition:** Scripture is the written preservation of verbal communication from God by making it visible in writing; Scripture is what was written and then recognized as authoritative.
-**There are two...**
-  * There are two seeds: God's Word & man's word
-  * There are two Greek Texts: Received & Eclectic
-  * There are two lines of Bibles: Reformed & Revised
