When faced with an actual simple example of how different versions do in fact contain different truths, you still cannot admit it. Instead, you insult? That’s not like you.

Just go back and read all the comments from the last 6 times you brought up this exact same thing.
We've been through it on this very thread already.

What’s ironic is when the modern false versions get to these deleted verses, they delete the verse, skip over the verse number and pick up with the KJV verse numbering system and in so doing they are being a silent witness to the absolute standard of the KJV.

Blatant ignorance! The numbering of chapters and verses is not a “KJV” thing. Do your homework!

Why not just admit that the different versions contain different truths? I believe you know they do.

What kingdom do you think a person is in, who continues supporting the NIV, that changes (Lucifer) in Isaiah 14:12, into Jesus Christ the morning star?

After they have been "CLEARLY" shown this (Evil)?

Ephesians 6:10-12KJV
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Why do the modern versions skip over verses and pick up like nothing happened? Is that being honest? Did they lose count?

To say all translation and all bibles version are of equal value, and doctrinally they all say the same thing is not logical and blind.
Some changes affect the doctrines very little but some can change the meaning completely.

Matt 1:25 "her firstborn" is omitted. That Jesus was her firstborn indicates that Mary and Joseph had sexual relations after the birth of Jesus and that others were born of her. The omission here seeks to add credence to the false doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church concerning the perpetual virginity of Mary. The Bible is clear that Jesus had brothers and sisters.

It may be of no value to some but if there are hundreds/ thousands of changes it could really mess up your understanding of God.

I understand that there are many texts that are used today but if you go back in history, the two lines i was referring to is the, Catholic and Jesuit texts, which is what the reformers did not want to use. The other was the received text, and majority texts which the KJV is written from.

Your argument is completely wrongheaded. You are implying that theology should dictate translation.

Here's how translation should work: Figure out what the original language says. Say the same thing in the destination language. Period.

So, unless the Greek contains the equivalent of "firstborn" (which it doesn't), the word "firstborn" doesn't belong in the translation.

Do you have something intelligent to offer, or are you just spewing raw sewage because you're bored? Your comment has no basis of evidence and no redeeming value. It's not even remotely specific.

Next time, don't click "Post reply" until you consider that your own comment will reflect more on you than on anyone else.

Its foolish to think that different versions that contain different words and different truths can all be considered God’s word. It’s not only foolish but insane.

Things that are different are not the same.

Yes, insane to think these are the same.

It is pointless to discuss these matters with you, because, as you have demonstrated previously, you are unable to consider the possibility that the KJV is simply wrong.
