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. I never even MENTIONED the KJV. Yes, there IS a reason to "bash" other translations if those translations are FALSE What texts did your "holman study bible" use to translate the Word of God? And, please dont say "the Greek" or "the Hebrew". WHICH? Wow, MANS opinions offered in side-notes? The Bible speaks for itself. Show me a passage in the KJV that you find hard to understand.

And who determines what is "junk" and why? Yes, the KJV HAD the apocrypha. It was never included as Scripture. The Apocrypha was accepted reading based on its historical value, though not accepted as Scripture by anyone outside of' the Catholic church. The King James translators therefore placed it between the Old and New Testaments for its historical benefit to its readers. They did not integrate it into the Old Testament text as do the corrupt Alexandrian manuscripts. 12 hours ago, White Rabbitt said: Besides, KJV is not even English Really? I can only read English and i dont have a problem with it. 12 hours ago, White Rabbitt said: Where are you from New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would NEVER demote Gods Word to a mere footnote. how dare they! Certain of the original copied manuscripts are not considered as authoritative as others, because each does have words or verses missing. The copyists were average individuals who were not so good at copying. So with missing words or verses, what else is there to do but honor it, or risk violating the Biblical directive not to deliberately add or take away from the text. Footnotes are also used to provide a literal word or meaning that is different and often better than the word that stands in the actual text. So with that goldmine, I think that putting the verse there that's missing in the actual text is also a lovely goldmine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"shrine prostitute" instead of "sodomite". COMPLETELY different meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
