I used to like the NLT , but recently I have been comparing it to the original hebrew and the translaters seem to do a lot interpretaion and not as much translation.

Theses versions are very acurate to the original greek and hebrew writings

1:king james

2:new king James

3:NIV

4:AMERICAN STANDARD

5:AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE MESSAGE

Hi Butero...I have to write quickly as I am out of time but will address things later this evening, and to John Whalen.

but in the meantime I would like to understand how you believe the KJV's translation of Easter is a correct one, when all the other times they used the same word it was correctly translated as Passover?...seems a fairly reasonably request. Thanks.

If you look up the Greek Word in the Abington-Strongs dictionary, it has differen't English words that could be used. Among those words is Easter. That is the word God wanted them to place there.

If you look up other Greek words like porneio (I am doing this from memory because I am in a bit of a hurry this morning, so please excuse generalities) you will find it has more than one English word that could correspond like adultery, harlotry, fornication, etc. God led the translators to incert the word he wanted in various differen't places.

Phew got back this evening and spent over an hour catching up with this thread, and got a splitting headache for my trouble...I would wager one or two others might feel the same way after reading more of Johns rather venomous diatribes in which he cannot seem to spit out his words fast enough.

Right, going back to the word Easter, you are trying to get me to seriously believe that G-d Himself directed the writers of the King James bible to entering the word Easter instead of Passover, and yet in the other 28 translations of the same word to use it properly as Passover. On top of that you believe it is the correct and only way it should be translated! You cannot compare Easter and Passover, they are not inter-changeable. Try asking an orthodox Jew if he celebrates Easter.

I can only say I am incredulous because it makes absolutely no sense to me.

I would not place much faith in Abington-Strongs dictionary if it makes the two synonymous.
