    I concur. I do own a couple of red-letter editions. Speaking of color-coded Bibles, I also have a NIV chronological study edition that has the book introduction in red-ish ink.

    I think it more accurate to say that the Bible is the words of the Holy Spirit (or simply God).

    ALL the bible has the same degree of inspiration from the Lord, as ALL recorded in it to us was from Him, but think many think that somehow being Jesus saying it carries "more weight!"

    Ok. You have said that you do not like words in red. In fact, you've said it more than once. So why repeat it? Why are you even here? Have you been appointed to come to this bulletin board to straighten us all out? If so, pls understand: folks who come here to "straighten everyone out" generally do not last long in here.

    I've so far seen KJV this and KJV that from you. Do you have anything else to contribute apart from quoting other KJV-onlyists? If so, I'd LOVE to hear what YOU think. Someone asked you the same in another thread. We are interested in what YOU think...that's how we use this website to grow. I'd learn NOTHING if all I did was to quote Washer or MacArthur all day here.

    You are stating above that placing Christ's words in red is dishonest. What if the whole Bible was printed in red? Would that suit you? I'm challenging you to think on your own feet...it will make you better, I promise.

    I don't see much difference between quotation marks and red letters in significance but honestly, to me, the red letters are distracting. I also do think that there are those who diminish the black letter verses because Jesus didn't literally state them and that makes me VERY uncomfortable. If I have a choice between a red letter edition and an all black one, I'll get the black one but if the version/style I want has red letters, I don't let it bother me too much.
