The NKJV

[halifaxchristian]

I think I missed that promise.

[Trust & Obey]

Oh boy.

I love the NKJV, but if it's all wrong......

Where am I going to get an ACCURATE translation????

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yomo, the NKJV is a very accurate translation. As you can see from this thread, nobody has been able to provide anything that isn't easily refuted.

Usually these "changes" that people present are simply improvements upon the KJV and are completely warranted by the original language.

What this means is that the KJV is the translation that is lacking today, not the NKJV. Although, the KJV is still great and worthy to be used.

Some people just like to hop on conspiracy bandwagons and repeat unsubstantiated claims that they read froma website or what-not. This is how rumors get started and it is quite unfortunate in this case.

The NKJV is a terrific translation of the Bible and is much improved over the KJV. The differences" in the NKJV vs. the KJV are merited by the original languages and improve the understanding of the text.

There is no validity to the "the NKJV is of the devil" accusation. I've gone through this at length with halifaxchristian in another thread located here:

http://www.worthyboards.com/forums/index.p...pic=25946&st=10

The discussion of the KJV vs. the NKJV starts at the bottom of that page and goes throughout the rest of the thread, albeit off-topic.

To assume that you "won" the debate and, thus, the NKJV is not satanic...is a misinterpretation of the facts. I do not believe that my arguments were proven wrong in any way, shape, or form. I believe that I presented my case fully and effectively and have shown that the NKJV is in fact Satanic in origin.

Praise the Lord God!

halifax, I never said that "I won the debate." But, what I believe readers will see is that the NKJV stood up under scrutiny and that the accusations leveled against it are totally without merit.

I didn't make it personal... it wasn't me vs. you. It was "the KJV vs. the NKJV."

Nobody has presented anything about the NKJV that would warrant claims that "it is satanic."

I can find bad footnotes in my KJV, too, that doesn't mean the KJV is evil.

[halifaxchristian]

You will not find footnotes that agree with the Alexandrian satanic manuscripts in the KJV...you will, however, in the NKJV.

In theory...if the NKJV got rid of those imposing footnotes that are in agreement with satans modifications to Scripture...I would regard it without reservation. Until that day...

God bless.

[halifaxchristian]

BTW...the NKJV is not a good translation because in and of itself it is a good translation. It is a good translation only so far as it agrees with the KJV. It is known that the translators laboured to make it a "modern" contemporary of the KJV and, thus, changed as little as possible except when deemed all but neccessary. Had the NKJV translators done this translation without the KJV in mind...trust it...the end result would have been much different than the NKJV you see and read today. Thank the KJV for this "excellent translation" because the KJV is the ONLY reason this version exists in the first place.

My two cents worth.

God bless.

You've contended that the NKJV is evil... gave instances where it was "mistranslated" and then was shown how those "mistranslations" improve the KJV's faulty rendering (i.e. the KJV is inferior for today's use).

Then, you switch to footnotes.

What's next? Are the maps going to be "evil" and "satanic" if they call Israel "Palestine?"

I think the KJV-Only crowd are the ones who are inspired by evil and satanic forces because they are sending confusion to immature believers and sowing discord among brethren.

T&O...I will not and cannot accept a translation that says about Jesus' resurrection... "The most reliable and oldest mss. do not contain this truth".

You get my point.

If that's satanic...then i'll worship on (i speak as a man).

God bless.

I must've read the gospels 20 times in my NKJV and I've never seen anything like that.

Please tell me where you're seeing that.

My Mother had God speak to her through the Living Bible.

Through this version, God gave her help in the ability to adopt me"!!!!

So, I suppose God does not mind ( or care) what translation we use, so long as we are obedient to His Will.

Thankyou.

I can relax....sit back, drink my hot chocolate, snuggle in my beddy-byes, with my lamp beside me, reading....YES, the NJKV!!!!!!
