You have not given real explanations. You have given what you think. Just because you give an answer does nto make it right.
And I have responded to all you so called lies. So it is sad when you LIE in your response while saying OTHER PEOPLE LIE.
Which proved the point of this post. You do what you judge other people of doing, and you can. Not see your own sin.

You guys say God preserved his word in all translations. Ok then tell me how you arrive at the truth on these two versions.
Daniel 9:27 King James Version (KJV)
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel 9:27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
27 And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of [a]abominations will come one who [b]makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who [c]makes desolate.”
Let's start with discrepancy 1.
Did "he" confirm an existing covenant or did "he" make a new one?

I knew what you meant, no problem. I believe it's Christ because of the language of the verse. It says he confirmed THE covenant. I know Christ confirmed the covenant with Abraham when he came.
The point is the two versions don't agree. One version has someone confirming a covenant and the other has someone making a new covenant. You believe the verse is talking about Titus, what covenant did Titus confirm? For that matter, what covenant did Titus make? I'm not looking for answers to these questions, I'm making a point.

This thread is not about the other versions. If you want to discuss them, start another thread.
You have overlooked clear "lies" (your word, not mine) in the KJV and have instead come up with a convoluted "explanation" which does nothing to explain the clear discrepancy. In one passage, Ahaziah is 22 years old; in the other, at the same point in his life, he is 42 years old. Your post might "make sense" of the numbers but it does not make sense of the text.
That you can't see your own hypocritical double standard is, frankly, shocking. You are deeply biased.
The double standard is this: you use one standard (assumption of correctness, generous grace and exhaustive explanation) with the KJV, and surficial examination of just the main text for other translations. If you used that standard with the KJV, you would say it is lying. It's time you start using a single standard for judgment.

I'm certain that the entire bible was inspired by God, and not dependent on KJV or any other translation. He knows what He is doing and He can and will use whatever means possible to get us where we need to be, with Him. I am also certain we, myself included, protesteth too much!!! Why is this even a discussion, let alone one that never ends, lol? Read KJV (seems like a great idea) read another version, or hey, even better compare translations (a brilliant method, lol, if you ask me) but regardless, no matter what, whatever you do, KEEP READING THE BIBLE!!!

One has to be the preserved words of God, if not one, then none. That's really the debate. Most on here do not believe they can obtain the pure words of God given in the English language, but hold fast to the "originals" which are not available anywhere. Did God give us His words, tell us to live by them, and not provide them for us today?

Daniel 9:27 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/dan.9.27.KJV
And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."
Daniel 9:27 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/dan.9.27.NASB
He will make a strong covenant with leaders for one week [of years]. For half of the week he will put a stop to the sacrifice and the grain offering. On the wing of detestable things the desolator will come and continue until the already decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.”
Dani'el (Dan) 9:27 CJB
And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator."
Daniel 9:27 ESV

Help me understand the huge difference, please.
