Greetings from BC,

David, I believe that the KJV is the inspired Word of God. I don't 
believe that God's word has ever expired. If there were hebrew 
speaking people around I would learn hebrew. If I were in Quebec I 
would learn french. If I were in the great southwest(USofA), I would 
learn spanish.

Church planting in western Canada, we have dealt with Doctors to 
street people, asians to native americans and when I am dealing with 
sin in their lives and the love of Jesus. They are not concerned about 
hebrew or greek. 

Again, how many have you saved using hebrew?

> Jeff, you can never learn too much of God's Word. There must be a reason that God inspired 
> the writing of his revelation to man in Greek and Hebrew. If He had only wanted us to know it in 
> English then He would have inspired the writers to write it in English. There are some words that 
> are lacking in English. Not in richness of the Lord but in our limited language of English. A good 
> example is John 21:15,16,17.

> Love is a very limited word in English but not so in Greek. There is one word, "love" in English. 
> In the Greek there are 5 different words that are translated into the one word "love" in English. 
> Here in John 21 2 different words are used and it completely changes the meaning of the 
> dialogue between Jesus and Peter. I will not rely solely on the work of other translators alone 
> when God can allow me to learn to translate the Greek into English myself. When we speak of 
> preserved we must know that God really did preserve his word in the languages in which it was 
> written!
> God Bless
