Versions of the Bible... Which one...?

[oldhermit]

99% of the 5,500+ existing N.T. manuscripts
support the readings of the KJV Holy Bible.

The N.T. manuscripts of the KJV Holy Bible
predate the existing 45 Alexandrian manuscripts
and the reconstructed Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus.

You are avoiding my question.

 

[Viligant_Warrior]

While the entire line of scripture are records, the outstanding record of scripture and the scripture of final authority is the published text and form of the AV 1611 KJV Holy Bible first edition.
The KJV Holy Bible is the most published, read and loved bible of all time .
The KJV Holy Bible is the most published, read and loved book of all time.

Thus proving you are what you said you are not. Done here.

You are avoiding my question.

He's good at that, isn't he?

So, because I do not agree with your estimation of the KJV I am a non-believer and a hater? Do you not realize how silly that sounds. If you are unfamiliar with the original languages you have absolutely no frame of reference by which to make such claims about the KJV or any other translation. All you are doing is relying on what you have read from others. You have no way to verify that what they have said is accurate. I thought I had made myself clear in the fact that I believe the KJV to be a good translation.

I completed graduate studies at both Catholic and Baptist Seminaries .

Both groups demonstrated their reconstructive theories in the manuscript evidence .

Good enough to have gone through the languages first hand .

Really, do you believe the KJV Holy Bible is the most published,

translated, read and loved book of all time ?

That tells me nothing. If you have had sufficient training in the original languages then you should know better.

So, the NASB, NIV, ESV are all okay in terms of accuracy? What about the NLT?

In the NIV there are some verses that are deleted.<----click this

Yes but that offers absolutely not credibility to it as a translation. Credibility is established not on the grounds of popularity or volume of publication but its reliability when compared to the original languages.

Come on, oldhermit, do you believe ?

What have I already told you twice about my opinion of the KJV?

 

[posthuman]

there is a new one available and well worth a read viz namely 'The Evidence Bible' by Ray Comfort - wincam

I am assuming this is a one-man translation???

poking around with a search engine,
looks like this is not another translation, but a KJV or NKJV (maybe others) bible with extensive notes, devotional-type soliloquies and quotes from popular historical figures inserted inline with the text.

you can find free downloadable .pdf of all of it here: http://www.evidencebible.com/
(which i think is very kind of the publisher)

a study-bible, more or less.

Thanks. I'll take a look at that later.

Claiming, on the internet, to have graduated 2 seminaries,
does NOT make you a seminary graduate.

It certainly doesn't make you an expert in Greek and Hebrew.

You are making a fool of yourself.

Well, maybe you're more concerned about preserving scripture than God.

KJV Psalms 12:6-7 6 The words of the LORD are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them
from this generation for ever.

Maybe you didn't know, yes, it's true !

The KJV Holy Bible is the most published,

translated, read and loved book of all time ?

The site has useful knowledge.

I believe the KJV to be the Word of God and it is perfect and divinely inspired. But either their numbers are messed up or it is a controlled test. There is no way the KJV is easier to understand versus other translations. Just try reading some of the prophecies in the Old Testament. They are not all that clear to understand in the KJV at all. But if you read a Modern Translation it helps to clarify what the KJV is saying, though. Yes, the New Testament is pretty clear. But that is not always the case with the Old Testament concerning the KJV.

I would recommend a KJV / NLT parallel Bible. You will get the accuracy of what God's Word is saying in the KJV and yet, you will also have a quick and easy explanation on a passage in the NLT just in case you run into some difficulties in understanding the KJV.

Someone claiming to have 20 years at the university level as a post doctoral fellow...

should understand "most loved book" is hyperbole and cannot be empirically measured.



"Most loved" can't be measured or ascertained in ANY way;
this question HAS NO ANSWER, it's an absurdity.

THIS IS A NONSENSE STATEMENT.

Well then, next thing I suppose you'll claim Harry Potter books aren't inspired? Some things don't age well, like this thread.
