“As a man, He lived the most strangely beautiful life ever known. He was the kindest, tenderest, gentlest, most patient, most sympathetic man that ever lived. He loved people. He hated to see people in trouble. He loved to forgive. He loved to help. He wrought marvelous miracles to feed hungry people. For relieving the suffering He forgot to take food for Himself.

It is said of him, and of no other, that if all the deeds of kindness that he did were written, the world would not contain the books. That is the kind of man Jesus was. That is the kind of person God is.” —Henry H. Halley

Isaiah 40:22 “[It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:” Isaiah 22:18 “He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord’s house.” The Bible says that a circle is not a ball, or these two verses would have been equivalent and used the same word. The KJV uses precise language to teach concepts, and to help the student rightly divide the truth ( 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to…
Who killed Goliath?
According to the ESV, NIV, NASB95, NASB and others, it was Elhanan. 2 Samuel 21:19 21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. ESV & others: 21:19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and v Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. Even a mainstream site thinks this is a problem.

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.” —Deuteronomy 4:2 KJV “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” —Revelation 22:18-19 KJV
