Most do not read much of the Word, and the reason why many choose a modern translation is because it's something new.

Hi, and appreciate the encouraging and accurate reply! There were even men, within 100 years after the death of John, writing manuscripts and claiming that they were actually correcting them.

The modern translations are technically at best paraphrases. Here is one example of an "interpolation," of which there in these Bibles many: "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God" (Phl 2:6). Here, it's saying that Jesus did not think it is stealing from God...

Don't see how manuscripts that take away from the Word of God are better sources. Even the producers of the modern versions (Wescott and Hort) were "occultists": Along with Bishop Edward White Benson, Westcott and Hort founded the Ghostly Guild. This club was designed to investigate ghosts and...

Amen, and it will eventually be found out to be of Satan, because God will show us all.

That's the only modern translation that recently corrected it in their reading (within the last decade), but for many years it had the error. But the primary problem with the NIV is the same as all the other modern translations, which is omitting much Scripture. Plus, memorizing a translation...

It's hard to prove that the translation that uses the majority of manuscripts is better than one using only a couple; and that couple of manuscripts are errant (2Sam 21:19) and corrupt (1Jn 5:7).

Easy to say, hard to prove! God bless!

That's pretty good evidence about the corrupted Text of the Minority group! Appreciate the support and God bless!

Many Bible scholars today are deceived in using the Minority Text for their New Testament, as there are thousand of difference in those older manuscripts from the Traditional Text, which uses most of the extant manuscripts. The modern translations use a far more inferior source (oldest...

Which translation of the Bible do you use? Many are unaware that the manuscripts used for the modern translations are highly spurious, because of the numerous differences between them and the Traditional Text (TT). The manuscripts used for the TT (Majority Text, or Textus Receptus, or Received...

“And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness . . . Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong” (2Co 12:10). The thorn in the...

Though the old man’s ways beset, yet only for a time Till the saint sees troubles clear, to lay them all behind The skies now cloud-cleared, and as oft as thou would No troubles or disappointments, but walking as thou should Now standing through assails, encouraged with all might Ever seeing...

The Church and Body of Christ is the most important entity to God, for it is the reason for Him creating all things (even angels - Heb 1:14; 1Pe 1:12), and is the sole being created after Himself! NC The Gospel & the Church I think it is of greatest importance to hold to the truth...

This is a post from before that I’m reposting for the sake of others who did not get it. NC From Common to Uncommon When the light first breaks in on the soul, it is sweet to it, to the new life nature. It is the work of the Spirit (Jhn 3:5, 6, 8); but in order to promote it, and to enjoy...

Hi, and yes, Romans 8:28 is the primary growth-truth and serves as the basis for all the Pauline Epistles! Most of the growth-truths are in Paul's Epistles from Romans to Philemon. God bless!!

Nothing is more valuable to God than His children, which are in the same significance as Himself, giving us His Son as He did! There’s no doubt that they mean more to Him than the angels, for it was for those in Christ that He made them “ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who...

How often have you needed the encouragement that comes from the Word of God? Of course there’s nowhere to go to get the type of encouragement it gives! It may not be immediate (but sometimes could be) but it eventually gives direction and purpose to the believer who continues to think on the...

Amen, and have I have always appreciated your replies and comments. God bless!

Hi, and thanks for the reply and sincere comments! When I first started learning these spiritual truths they seemed false because I was not familiar with them. But now that I've been studying them for about 25 years I've been seeing how much they parallel the truths of the Word. It's no doubt...
