Modern King James Bible??

August 9, 2004

Hey all, what's up? I was curious if anyone had ever heard of or used the Modern King James Version of the Bible? Curious as to how it compares to the NKJV. you can go to MKJV.com. The guy, or guys, that did this have an interesting take on the greek text used for the MKJV, KJV 1611, NKJV, LITV as opposed to the rest of the new translations. What do yall think? I'd love to hear more if someone's in the know.

God bless,

Jason

I wouldnt say Im in the know...........but I have it on my esword and I love it. I compare it to the other translations a lot and so far it has been a great way for me to read and understand the bible. Thank you for pointing me to a website so I can learn more about it the translation.

Edited to add......I couldnt find a link to the description you were talking about, do you have a website link?

This is the little bit about the Bible itself. The LITV is also translated by the same people. It's the Literal translation they use in their Hebrew and Greek interlinear Bible.

This is the bit about the greek text and translations. It's about another book concerning this topic.

I have on my e-sword too. I just wonder what the difference is between the MKJV and the NKJV. I've considered switching. I find the NKJV a really good modern translation of the KJV, so i like it. But, I'll see I guess. I was hoping someone else would know. I was on a baptist board, and a several people were well studied in the topic of texts and translations. But I hope this helps. It was interesting to me just to read about the book, I really want to buy it and read it myself, though it sounds like it might be a hard read.

Anyway, Later,

Jason

-heyyyyyyy---Jason--WE have several translations But have heard the nkjv leaves out a LOT of very Important words all relating to JESUS being GOD & THe SON OF GOD-----someone listed ALL the differences here a little while back----as for me & my house we will READ the KJV{thass a joke-like }Really We started out with the kjv--& have kept it as our main Bible but we use the thompson chain-reference--& several others for study--My wife got me a copy of the "william-tyndale-1534-edition {olde-english-tyndale spoke-wrote-which my Wife can read very easily buyt I can't, I have to have the kjv1611 to understand what he said---}man this board thinks I type weird they oughtta read that Bible.. -

ennyhow Thekjv1611 is the Most Accurate & I've heard that for over thirty years--very few detractors but they are out there---& say there are TOO many wrong translated words--but the dead-sea-scrolls--seem to confirm the accuracy of the 1611----Just some thoughts fer yas ta ponder------happy Bible reeding--Bro.- Gary-

The NKJV is not the same as the MKJV. There are some differences.

what are the differences?

But have heard the nkjv leaves out a LOT of very Important words all relating to JESUS being GOD & THe SON OF GOD-----

Do you know where I could find these? I would love to read them for myself. The author and publishers say that the Modern KJV is the true KJV in a modern format. They hold to the belief that the KJV(I think 1611) is the pure translation, and He just wanted to update the vocabulary stuff to make it more readable for the generations to come.

Anyway, thanks,

Jason

I've used it a bit and am not crazy about it. Sometimes I find that it translates things in a zany kind of way. I prefer the NKJV for a more accurate modern version of the KJV, although it, too, has its problems.
