What version of the Bible is used?

The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is exclusively used at New Manna Christian School as well as at our parent church, New Manna Baptist.  We make no apologies for the stance we take on God's Word; however, we are fully aware that all Christians do not share our same views.  In our classrooms and in all activities, only those scriptures from the KJV will be used.  We teach the history of and the reasoning for believing that the KJV is the Bible for the English speaking language that God has ordained and blessed since its translation in 1611.  Other translations being descendants from erred texts, we believe they are not the infallible, inerrant, inspired Word of God preserved for us.  We will not try to confuse any student whose family holds a different opinion, yet we will insist that inside the bounds of the education and classwork of New Manna Christian School, only the KJV is to be used.
