You prefer the KJV over the NIV? Fine. Good for you. I am glad you. But that is no reason to be bashing on other translations. While I prefer my Holman Study Bible, I do not come here and bash on the KJV of the Bible, even though I feel my Holman Study Bible has given me a clearer understand of God's word then what the KJV Bible dose. Furthermore bashing on the NIV shows a a lack of understanding about how the translation came about. For many including myself, the NIV was our first Bible after we got saved. It got us into God's word and guided our paths as we started our walk on this Christian journey. I know that my worn out, over used NIV Bible I got as a High School graduation gift from my church over 20 years ago help me in my Christian walk. It is full of highlitted passages and side notes. It made God's word easy for me to understand. That's it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About bible versions, the best way to look at it is that every translation will occasionally have something that others don't. Some KJV verses are not included in later versions because they are not present in the more authoritative Greek texts. But this does not necessarily mean they are not inspired. Discernment from the Holy Spirit is beneficial in such cases. It should also be pointed out that there are places where the text behind the KJV is clearly a corruption. Does that mean you throw out the KJV? Not at all. I still use it quite often, especially the KJV study Bibles, because the language is poetic and memorable, and I can find verses easier if I search for them online or in Strong's using KJV wording. The cross-referencing in my KJVs is also far superior to anything I have in any other Bibles as well. So try not to get caught up in one Bible or the other too much. Until you can study scripture from the original language, you will be at a bit of a disadvantage anyway, but the Lord will teach you regardless. You just have to ask Him to, and trust that the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth if you keep seeking Him for it God bless, Hidden.

A maybe isn't a definite. I don't believe that men alone are capable of thinking up those verses. What's originally written comes straight from God, words that Jesus spoke and things inspired of God through the apostles. There's evidence that some words over time had been differently translated than what's in previous Bibles. 2a. To my knowledge, it was the Catholics in particular who wanted the apocrypha included in Bibles, those books aren't inspired. Not every KJV Bible has included them. 3b. I don't know what the "tons of other junk" refers to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
