I received this message (posted below) from a preacher in Wisconsin. I receive messages like this a lot. I thought I would share this one to encourage those who are standing for the truth to continue taking a stand. Your labour is not in vain in the Lord. Eventually those who really want the truth will get their eyes open. Our job is to simply continue to make the truth available for them. A wise man told me one time that "the best way to convince people of the truth is to give them the information they need to convince themselves".
God bless,
Pastor Emanuel Rodriguez
Hi Brother Rodriguez,
You accepted my friend request a while back and I have until now yet to thank you for accepting my friend request, so thank you very much. In the summer of 2010, during a two month internship in ******, Wisconsin; I came across an old fashioned Bible believing independent fundamental Baptist church, called ****** Baptist Church (GBC), and I was also first exposed to the Bible version issue. I entered Wisconsin that summer with a Pentecostal background carrying an NIV bible and I left a King James Bible-believing independent fundamental Baptist with the Assurance of my salvation.
· In March 2011, the Lord opened the doors of a full time job in ******* and I thus returned and have since been baptized and become a member of ******** Baptist Church, and have accepted the call to preach. I am currently enrolled at ******** in the Faith Bible Institute thought by Pastor ***** *******.
In the past two years, I have become fascinated by both the history and translation of the 1611 Authorized Version, and have since purchased a KJV from Local Church Bible Publishers based in Lansing, Michigan, and have even purchased a copy of "The New Testament 1526: The Text of the Worms Edition of 1526 in Original Spelling" (from Amazon.com for reference and historical appreciation), and also some other KJV Bibles like for soul winning and so forth.
My learning about the Textus Receptus and belief that the KJV is God's perfectly preserved word in the English language has naturally led me (of a Puerto Rican/ New Yorican background) to ask what's God's preserved word in the Spanish? Sadly, my mother has always used a Reina Valera 1960, as is common and expected by most Hispanics.
In my search for a KJV-compatible Spanish Bible I have come across the Reina Valera 1865, the RV 1909, the RVG 2010, and most recently the Valera 1602 Purificada.
I have purchased and currently own a RVG 2010 from Chick Publishers, and both a regular size font and letra grande edition of the RVG 2010 for my mother. Sadly, however she says that both the regular size print of the RVG 2010 and that of the letra grande RVG 2010 are too small for her so she has sadly, and much to my disappointment, returned to a large size print of the RV 1960.
I was wondering if you know of any future plans to increase the font size of the RV-Gomez Bible, to like a size 14 font, or 17, or some other size larger than those currently available from Chick? I'm sure that you may have come across this problem before with older Spanish readers and so I thought that perhaps you know of some plans to increase the font size.
Btw, when I learned about the Valera 1602 Purificada (which I have also purchased) I became convinced about it until I studied further and came across some of your youtube videos and online articles about Gail Riplinger's attack on the RVG 2010 and his promotion of the the 1602-P. After weighing the arguments from both sides, I am convinced that you and the RVG 2010 are in fact correct and I feel very happy about the RVG 2010 that I do own and I am also excited about the news of your ministry and the fruit that it has yielded.
Out of all the Spanish Bibles I have seen and come across the RVG 2010 is the best and is being used wonderfully by God, leading many Spanish-speaking/Hispanic souls to Christ. I hope that Chick, or whatever other future publisher there may be, would print a RVG letra gigante or super large print size, so that I may purchase one when it becomes available.
Humbly your friend and brother in Christ Jesus,
