Romans 14:1 As for the man who is a weak believer, welcome him [into your fellowship], but not to criticize his opinions or pass judgment on his scruples or perplex him with discussions. (AMPC)

I shifted to the Amplified Classic version of the bible for a clearer understanding of this verse over the KJV. In part I did this because the KJV isn’t for everyone. I use it in my writings so that I do not have to keep close track of bible quotations of copyright limitations. The second reason is consideration of those who have been victims of those of us that find it easy to understand the KJV. It was archaic language at the time of its writing and was use intentionally because it was archaic.

I apologize for my constant use of the KJV but please understand my desire to honor copyright laws. The KJV is free of copyright. Those who have practiced understanding to the depth of going back before the KJV, into the Greek and Hebrew, the Latin and even the Aramaic are consider scholars, men and women of higher learning.

That does not make them higher people. That does not give them, or me, a right to look down on people or to talk down to people. It is not an encouragement to those who do not possess the skills at languages to constantly speak in other languages. Encouragement is one of our callings and we must be considerate of those around us as to our speech, be it encouraging or discouraging.

Isaiah 40:4 Every valley shall be lifted and filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked and uneven shall be made straight and level, and the rough places a plain.

That is God leveling the playing field.

We should honor and obey God’s effort to reach all His creation.
