I'm going to start reading the King James version Bible soon from beginning to end. And I wanted to have some tips on how to read and understand the king James version Bible. Some of the words I don't understand and the sentences I don't comprehend or understand them. What should I do? Do you have any tips on how to understand the Kings James Version Bible?
Hi Christian Warrior GW.
This is a great goal that God can bless you as you keep it. If you are interested, I'll provide some helpful tips that will help you reach your goal.
A. Write down/ print out the names and chapters of the books. You will need a way to keep track of your progress. This will also provide incentive to encourage the process.
There are many online charts available that will give a list of them and break up the order, for instance a couple chapters from the O.T. and also the N.T. each day. Since you want to read the entire Bible from cover to cover, it doesn't necessarily need to be in exact order.
Too many people start and get bogged down with the genealogies in Numbers, for instance.
B. I think many who aren't in a daily reading schedule already, find it beneficial to start with Proverbs. Why Proverbs?
It is packed full of wisdom, practical teaching and is easy to read. Once someone is able to get through the book, they will have established a habit/ pattern that can continue as they go back to Genesis and a N.T. book. It's like a warm up to get the momentum going to establish your habit.
C. I have already listened to two good sermons on this subject since I saw you brought it up. It helps to have a purpose in mind and to encourage yourself in the Lord.
The devil and his servants are always ready to misdirect, plant doubts, and undermine the amount of faith you have. Some will disagree, but there are certain people who you should avoid that do not like God's Holy Word, the KJV. They make it their goal to put down this Bible God has blessed and they do the work of an anti-evangelist.
"Beware, lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ."
Colossians 2:8
This will happen on this forum and many other places too. If you don't have a pastor who is a strong man of God who stands on the KJ Bible, the sword of the Spirit, then the enemy will offer you a plastic butter knife.
You are Christian Warrior, so I think you want to go against the principalities and powers of darkness with the sharpest sword and most skillful techniques you can acquire. See the picture above. The demons/ devils are real and have tried to take my life many times. I thank the Lord for providing power and safety to continue His mission as a fellow Christian warrior. As long as I am here, I am available for encouragement and to help any way I can.
☕🙂👍⚔️
PS:
One more thing comes to mind. Make sure you have a KJV that is large enough print to be legible/ easy to read. Don't bother spending money on a "Study Bible" with notes. Those are distracting at best. Just get a plain Jane big print KJV. A pen to write your own notes and underline and a dictionary.
