User Guide

1. Introduction

It is common knowledge that millions of men, women and children around the world have little or no chance of obtaining a copy of the HOLY BIBLE, but Information Technology (IT) is changing that. The Bible is now available in many languages on the Internet.

2. Free Bible Software Programs

There are a number of free Bible software programs on the Internet using the Authorized King James Version. Bible Software programs can be very useful. Bible software programs allow word and phrase searches through selected books or the entire Bible. This can be a great aid to you in your Bible studies. You will also be able to attach your own notes to specific books, chapters, and verses.

3. The Bible Index

The Bible Index is the gateway through which you may link to any one of the 66 books in the Holy Bible. Please note that these books are from the Authorized King James Version, which is the real Word of God!

The Bible index is divided into 2 sections:
- Links to the Old Testament Books
- Links to the New Testament Books

If you do not already have the Bible on disk, this is the time to obtain a copy. The Bible is the Word of the living God, the Creator of the mighty universe! There is not a single English language publication on the entire Internet which is more important than the Holy Bible. That is a fact all mankind will acknowledge on the soon-coming Day of Judgment.

The Bible is Life’s User Guide and once you have a copy on your computer it will be available for study, composing your own Bible-based articles and for copying to others.

5. Bible Versions/Copyright

The Bible version recommended at A Voice In The Wilderness - Canada is the Authorized King James Version. You will find the reason for this in the article entitled Bible Versions. A free copy of this booklet is available on request.

Most, if not all, modern English translations of the Bible have a copyright notice at the beginning of the publication. There you will read copyright warnings such as:

All rights reserved.
- No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means: (electronic or mechanical) photocopied, recorded or printed without prior permission of the Copyright owner.
- All rights reserved under International and Pan-American conventions
- Copyright: 1963, 1968, 1985 etc. All rights reserved.

I am delighted to inform you that the basic text of the Authorized King James Version, first published in 1611, contains no copy restrictions. This means that you are permitted to copy the basic text not the marginal references, notes, commentaries and maps etc. without violating copyright.

You are certainly not allowed to do this with modern translations of the Bible. Most, if not all, contain a copyright warning, even about the basic text! When you stop to consider this vital matter, you will agree that it is unthinkable that Jehovah, the Almighty God of Israel, would slap a copyright warning on His own Word. Be grateful that He hasn't.

A Voice In The Wilderness - Canada literature is also not copy protected. This means that you may make copies of any HTML or PDF file at this site without violating copyright. For more information see No Copyright.

The Bible tells us, the Everlasting Gospel will be published throughout the world before the Saviour returns. The messages on our free site CD will help you to do your part in that great work.

I'll end here with a prayer: May Yahweh, the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, bless you as you study His Holy Word.
