B-KJ-ABS Paperback – 1 Jan. 1673

I purchased this Bible for my religious studies and also found it curious to know what is written in the Bible considering Muslims and Jews say that Christians do not follow the Bible. The text, especially the Old Testament provides insight to the old Biblical times. And I must say, I was rather surprised to find the context very similar to that of the Torah and the Quran. I can see now why Muslims say the Christians have changed the wording for the Bible and are hypocrites etc, but I do not believe as much as changing the wording but it is rather that the Christians do not follow the Bible as they should. E.g. it is mentioned in Genesis, Old Testament that swine meat is forbidden and that a male born child should be circumcised. This is a belief still followed by Muslims. Yet I do not know a single Christian that follows what is written in the Bible. It is not surprising that Muslims say Islam is their true religion, because it is said in the Quran that God has had enough, he sent the Psalms, the Torah, Bible, Gospel and now the Quran is the final word and let there be no dispute. And to date (those that are genuine Muslims) do believe and follow the Quran (Hajj and the sacrificing of the animal is derived from Prophet Abraham times), most of which is already written in the Bible, and to the Muslims the Quran is the word of God, the law of life. This King James’ Bible is very valuable to those that wish to study the original text and compare to text of other religions. It has helped me immensely to understand what Christianity is supposed to be about. However, I do find it a shame that when talking to Christians in today’s society that a majority of people are not aware of the contents of the Bible and do not follow God’s word. Neither do they attend Church, not surprising with the number of Churches declining in the UK. I am rather pleased with my purchase and will store it amongst my other religious books. God’s word is sacred, one should spend time in reading, and gives better understanding to those that follow other religions and similarities with the Christianity.
