  • For the same reason a Catholic uses a Catholic version of the Bible and Muslims use the Koran. Each cult uses their own "bible".

  • we believe that the translation that we use is good, so we use it. however we've used other bibles as well, some use the kjv, i dont mind it either, but the one we use is in plain english and easier for me to use. Everyone has a translation that they favor, this is the one we favor.

  • Every religion uses the Bible that best suits their beliefs. Its not for any of us to say what is right or wrong, its just how it is.
