In the previous Learning Activity we presented our rationale for using the KJV translation of the Bible on this web site. We realize that this translation does contain translation difficulties that have an impact on some of the doctrines of Christianity and we will use this Learning Activity to point out those New Testament difficulties that we have discovered. We do believe that the major doctrines of Christianity such as who God is, man's condition in relation to God and the Bible portrayal of salvation by faith in God are not affected by these difficulties. However, these difficulties listed do affect other Christian doctrines, therefore, we feel it is important to compile the following list for your reference and study.
