As part of the celebrations to mark the 400th anniversary of the Authorised Version, the Prime Minister David Cameron has chosen his favourite Bible verses.
He chose Philippians 4:8,9 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

If only the Prime Minister actually believed and practiced the teaching of these two verses then society would be the better off under the present coalition government.
These verses would rule out that which is immoral such as the recognition of sodomite marriage that the Prime Minister indicated he was prepared to go ahead with during his conference speech this year.
As is increasingly obvious this Prime Minister says one thing and does something else!

I have uploaded your comment but I must highlight the fact that I don't believe in using other English translations of the Bible. I believe the Authorised [King James] Version is the most accurate and reliable English translation.
For example the New Testament in modern versions is 2,500 words shorter than in the Authorised Version. That is the equivalent to taking out 1 & 2 Peter.
An Authorised Version copy of the New Testament and a modern version copy can't both be the whole Word of God pertaining to the New Testament. One or other of them has to be wrong.
Either the Authorised Version contains 2,500 words which cannot be accurately called the Word of God or modern versions have omitted 2,500 words that God has given by inspiration.
There are a series of sermons highlighted down the right hand side of the blog which deal with these issues.
