That's true, and I was joking about the 1611 version. But Ricky heard the Word of God through the NIV. I was there and I could tell.There are newer editions for Ricky in the KJV.

I just saved it to my favorites, will have to check it out.. Thank you!Been reading the 1560 Geneva.
For anyone who wants it, here's a link.
The Geneva Bible 1560 : God : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
The Geneva was 51 years before the KJV and seems to be more descriptive in context. For example, 1 Cor 14 , instead of "tongues " you see "diverse tongue" or "strange tongue" or just flat out "languages."
You're most welcome!I just saved it to my favorites, will have to check it out.. Thank you!
the english language in itself is flawed. to try to make a word for word translation from hebrew/greek to english is impossible.
I'm trying to download the .pdf version. Their server needs a good kick in the pants.Yeah! Go for it. Seems easier to understand for me than the KJV. Great version.

God bless you guys! that ancient olde English is too much for me
Adam is mankind.Mankind was made in Genesis 1, Adam was made in Genesis 2. God sent Adam with the purpose of him falling in order to make man(kind) in His image. Only when His creation is complete at Jesus' return will that finally be accomplished. God's plan is amazing!
Correct.You do know that Jesus did not speak the king's English, right?
As a teenager I started reading the Good News translation and became a Christian through it!
No, I know they are a mess by the redefined Greek words they use.Have you ever read the very front of your modern bibles where it tells you about the translators?
It’s odd double standards you have, AS IF it doesn’t apply EQUALLY to other English translations.Correct.
Your English translation(KJV) was set up by God for you to understand Jesus in English.
Modern translators know Hebrew and Greek - as well as modern 21st century American - far better than those from half a Millenia ago.No, I know they are a mess by the redefined Greek words they use.
They should be anonymous for shame.
Wrong.More is understood these days about the original texts and this is taken into account by those who translate the bible into so many different languages today.
Can you quote it verbatim while teaching as KJV teachers do?Really? I quote the NIV from memory all the time, because it's the version I've been using for 40+ years.
That's fine.That's true, and I was joking about the 1611 version. But Ricky heard the Word of God through the NIV. I was there and I could tell.
Wrong.
The farther we get from history, the less we know.
God set up His word for us in 1611.It’s odd double standards you have, AS IF it doesn’t apply EQUALLY to other English translations.
