"Which Bible would Jesus Use?" A presumptuous and arrogant question? Perhaps. But consider the analogous question; "Which planet would Jesus use?" We know which. According to scripture, out of the 300 sextillion known stars and heavenly bodies which science tells us fills the heavens, the Lord chose ONLY ONE PLANET upon which to place life. Is that an act of narrow-minded arrogance on God's part, or is it simply the way He does things?

The truth is, God has a long history of choosing the few to the exclusion of the vast majority (Matt. 7:13). In many cases, the "few" means God choses ONLY ONE, and Bible versions are no exception. This is especially true when one realizes that it's the Devil's business to major in a multiplicity of counterfeits (Matt. 24:11, 1Jn. 2:18 & 4:1). The reason no one has dared to ask this question before, is not because "God would never do such a thing", but because it's POLITICALLY INCORRECT. But God's not concerned with men-pleasing, ear-tickling, politics (Gal. 1:10). The Lord's concerned with getting His words into your hands.

Jack McElroy's book "Which Bible would Jesus Use?" shows the Christian...

- How many professing Christian scholars believe that even the Original Autographs contained ERROR. The autographs penned by Matthew, Mark, Luke, Paul, Moses, etc. That may be hard to believe, but the proof is presented via their own documents. There's no point in shooting the messenger.

- How modern professing Christian scholarship rejects the Bible's definition of "inspiration" (Job 32:8, 2Tim. 3:16) in order to cover up their own infidelity. McElroy clearly explains the Bible's use of the word. But in reality, no explanation of the scriptural position is even necessary, since the text is plain and clear as it stands. God preserves His word by inspiring copies and translations of the originals - that's Bible doctrine.

- Bully tactics used by modern scholars to get you to "cave" on your allegiance to the Final Authority of the King James. Here's a little hint: Modern scholars don't believe ANY modern Bible version is 100% accurate - they believe ALL BIBLE TRANSLATIONS have some degree of error. They just don't preach that from the pulpit because they'll have egg on their faces. Instead, they take the high road (and wrong road) and say "a little leaven" is okay (Gal. 5:9, 1Cor. 5:6).

- A detailed study showing the "changes" in editions of the King James Bible amount to nothing. There have been no doctrinal changes in the King James, nor changes to the text which underlies the King James since it was first printed in 1611. Those that pull the "which King James version" question have ulterior motives.

- You will learn all this and much more!

The bottom line is this, once the scholars talk you out of your belief in the absolute authority of the King James Bible, they have NO WHERE TO POINT YOU for spiritual guidance except to themselves. Their arguments are all self-serving. According to them, there is NO PERFECT, ERROR-FREE BOOK OF GOD anywhere in the world today that you can put in your hands and personally read. It's acceptable, godly and politically correct (in a conservative Christian sort of way) to believe in ALL BIBLE VERSIONS, just don't chose ONLY ONE to the exclusion of the rest. That's "heresy" according to the eggheads, because you need them when it comes to actually knowing-for-sure what God said. If you don't believe me, just try and take an NIV-only stand, or an ESV-only stand, or an NKJV-only stand, and see where it gets you. You'll get nowhere. The scholars will attack you just the same. They're "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." (2Tim. 3:7)

Jack McElroy's book "Which Bible would Jesus Use?" will STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH in God's Book - the King James Bible. It is a worthy addition to any Christian library. Especially those Christians who know that 400 years of historical proof shows that the Lord has used, and is still using, the KJB - no other version even comes close. Cast it away at your own peril.

A+ Highly recommended

Jack McElroy has written a book with a focus so tight, it's on the front cover! Which Bible Would Jesus Use? The title says it all. He is not merely throwing out words. He really means it. If our Lord and Saviour walked into your church, which Bible would He carry under His arm? Which Bible would He quote from?

This is no intellectual gobbledygook. McElroy proves his point. If Jesus walked into an English-speaking church, He would have to bring a Bible, and it could be only one. McElroy backs up every point very clearly, so don't expect to be lost in anyone's scholar-ese. Any possible hard words he clearly defines. Then he asks simple questions, and expects understandable answers, because we have a God who loves us and doesn't need to make things complicated to feel good about Himself. (Though there is a "god" who does exactly the opposite. He's behind other bibles.)

And McElroy tackles the critics head on. First, he quotes them clearly. Then he treats them politely (no mud-slinging here). Once he has shown what the scholars really believe, then he very politely and directly demolishes their arguments to smithereens. And he does it using just one Bible, like a Bible-believing Christian should.

McElroy answers the nagging questions that the most "advanced" anti-KJV people throw at us on a regular basis.

He also tackles some of the most difficult passages of the Bible: the chronologies of the kings of Israel and Judah. At every turn he uses a consistent starting point: He trusts that God preserved His words; that His words can be taken literally; and that His words can be understood properly in their proper context. I may have a different perspective on one of them, but he shows thoroughly why he believes what he does, and never leaves the Bible in order to do it.

I am tempted to give away some of his points, because they are so good. But you're just going to have to get the book and read it for yourself. You may want to buy two – because you're not going to want to give up the one you have.

"…a diligent Christian businessman (Proverbs 22:29) has successfully reduced the rancorous ‘King James Only-ism' debate to a single, unconventional premise—‘Which Bible would Jesus use?' The utter simplicity of Brother McElroy's question will undoubtedly render many in academia apoplectic. And yet, his unique approach is entirely Scriptural."

"I believe that you have made a significant contribution to Bibliology and that your work will provoke more people to think intelligently about Biblical preservation. I think that you have rightfully presented the fact that all translations are not ‘essentially the same' and have convincingly argued that textual criticism is not an exact ‘science' at all ... You have presented the right arguments in a clear, concise, thought-provoking way. Thank you!"
