Question
Why are all the Bibles Copyrighted?
Thanks,
James
Hi James,
THas is a great question. Not all Bibles are copyrighted. The King James Bible is not . When modern Bible translators come up with a new english translation, they want the credit and the money from their work...therefore it is copyrighted. One argument for using only the King James Bible in English is because the translators were driven by a higher purpose, not just selling a book. I hope that this helps you.

Expertise
I believe that every word of the Bible is God-Breathed. This blessed book is the foundation of truth for faith and practice. If you ask this volunteer a question you will receive an answer from the Bible that is based upon a litteral, normal interpretation, taking into account the grammar and culture of the time.
Experience
I have been in the ministry almost 20 years. During this time, the Lord has used me as Senior Pastor, counsellor, youth pastor and generally in the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry.
