I like my rescued NIV but I also like my KJV, I have a 1560 Geneva and honestly comparing them gives me a a good idea of what the Bible is trying to tell me.

I love this guy

Thank You! God Bless You

Hey bro. I recently purchased the MEV Bible. I also have the csb study bible and the NIV bible. And also a few more. I've been trying to figure which one out of all the newer translations would be 2nd place of coarse with KJV 1st. Which translation would you be comfortable recommending if the KJV didn't exist?

To borrow a phrase I read online that jumped out at me, the Bible don't need rewritten,it needs to be read again. I grew up with the King James and it has never lead me wrong. So I will stick with the King James.

Quite interesting differences

I want to buy my own bible but I don’t know what to buy as there are so many of them can someone help me

I want to buy my first bible but I don’t know what to buy as there as so many of them

Would you consider doing a comparison between the 1611 King James and modern King James that we use today? because they are not identical to each other. The King James we use today is the 1769 Blaney revision and the oxford and Cambridge editions are not identical. The 1611 also had marginal notes with alternate readings, which actually agree with the modern translations a lot of times. Also, the different editions of the textus receptus are not identical. Erasmus added the Johannine comma (1 John 5:7) to his 3rd,4th,5th editions of the TR... his first two editions didnt have it do to the majority of manuscrips not having it. God bless

I want to be KJV only because I don't like the missing words and verses either. But I was reading second Corinthians in the KJV and had no clue as to what Paul was talking about...lol so I got my GNT bible out and read second Corinthians and it was crystal clear as to the meaning of the text. They say God is not the author of confusion, so to me, and correct me if I'm wrong please...its a good idea to study modern versions till you have a clear understanding of the text THEN move up to the KJV.

The "word" is a title. Jesus is THE name.

To be honest the Authorized KJV is my favourite because it has beautiful language, I see it as divinely inspired and am worried about the omissions. However I do use other literal translations as well in more modern English: NRSV and Lexhams online. However I believe in bringing people to God's word and sadly not everyone is lucky enough to be as educated as I am. Many do struggle with the Jacobean language. Therefore if a more modern translation or even a paraphrase Bible helps people on their journey with Jesus and, more importantly, introduces him to them in the first place then praise be to God. An example would be the Gideon New Testament that started me on the journey to faith. It is NIV and I am grateful for it. (though I don't use it anymore). My Gideon NIV Bible has the omissions (such as the Angel at Bethsaida )in brackets in the actual text block rather than in brackets. I don't like the replacement of Virgin with Young Woman in Isaiah in the NRSV too as it dumbs down the prophesy in 7:14. However people pick holes in even in various KJV versions(Cambridge, Oxford, Counterfeit Nelson etc) they should count their blessings and remember those who don't posess a Bible in their language or can't afford or are forbidden to carry one. I read recently of Christian missionaries who often had to interpret a text in a certain way in indigenous language to help it make sense to them. A literal translation being impossible through linguistic or cultural barriers.

The Truth is the King James version of the Bible is taken from 2000 + manuscripts and the others are taken from as little as 2. Common sense will tell anyone the having 2000+ is far better than 2. But looking at it on the spiritual way as we should. The Godly men involved in bringing together the King James version of the Bible were called together by God to give to us HIS church the True Word. It's the sin in a person's heart that makes them choose the wrong bible. Dose the the True member of God's church want the Truth or a false version.

I read each and every verse you quoted from the KJV from my Douay Rheims Version and it listed each verse word for word exactly the same as the KJV. Makes me think the KJV copied the Douay Rheims.....lol

how much pain has been caused by one book.?...treat others as you wish to be treated. much love and respect. feel free to use that . peace

The more the KJV is attacked the more I’m convinced of its truthfulness. If a person reads, believes and obeys a modern mainstream translation I have no issue with it. When they start picking apart my choice, the bible that has seen more souls come to salvation than all the modern bibles combined, then I have a problem.

bro I wouldn't even read that bible it will corrupt your ways the niv is a bad direction cannot bring anyone closer takes you away from god I feel bad for who ever wrote that

NIV translators of who the head of the OT was gay, including the stylist Virginia Molencott.

THE KING JAMES VERSION IS THE TRUE ENGLISH BIBLE TRANSLATION. ALL THE MODERN ENGLISH VERSIONS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION, PALE IN COMPARISON TO THE KJV. KJV ALL THE WAY!!

If it was a real holy book there should only be one version hahah

Jesus came with John, they were born in the same year and they have been knowing each other since they were children. If John is talking about “the prophet” who is coming after him then he must refer to Mohammed. He is the only one who claimed to be the final prophet and his revelation was the Final one. For that, some biblical scholars add some sentences to change the meaning such (Yet he was before me) so Mohammed was not before John, voila

Because there all fake
