I’ll take any translation over a translation with James in the title. The idea that after centuries of further study, newer translations cannot improve upon KJV/NKJV is preposterous on its face.

Why? Since when does the majority mean correct? The majority of Bible versions jettison the KJV Middle English. Does that make the KJV wrong? Or does your appeal to majority apply when it is convenient for you?

Here, your closed-mindedness really loses out on the weight of Scripture. Words have meany senses. Different translations often flush out these different senses. I don't know who you think you are to pontificate what the better case is for translation. Some translations recognize the sense of...

https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-study/tips/tales-of-translation-thought-for-thought-translations.html I know literalists used the term 'paraphrase' as a pejorative. The non-literal translation process is properly called thought translation. I know this because I've read the introductions...

You keep moving the goalposts.

Being a literalist, you must realize being ‘mmersed in the spirit of a popular paraphrase’ does not mean the NLT is a paraphrase translation.

All translations interpret what sense of the original language is appropriate. The difference between ‘literal’ and ‘thought’ translations is literals do this per word. Thoughts do this to whole verses or paragraphs

Did you say something about personal attacks? I guess that only applies to others.

Wrong. No translation is a paraphrase. Non-literal translations are called thought translations. I generally prefer such thought translations PRECISELY for their readability. When petty literalists want to argue what the 3rd word of the 5th verse of the 17th chapter of book 11 - is in the...

It is NOT a flawed example at all. Unborn baby damned by God because of sin of parent. I don’t know why you are trying to impose your doctrine onto God’s word. You’ve moved the goalposts twice already. Don’t try to move it again. Going back to the original point in Deuteronomy, the woman...

Rationalization. I think you are smart enough to know the culture of the Bible writers used masculine orientation unless specified otherwise. Other translations use the more accurate and politically correct term ‘parents.’ Here is another example. David committed adultery with Bathsheba. God...

Not an attack on your position. An observation about your personality. No kidding? The shadow of that remains. Oh. I could not tell. I personally read 4 translations: CEV, NLT, CJB & NRSV. I also do Spirit led reading in ESV and VOICE translations. My 'go to' translation is probably NLT but...

If you are KJV-only, you are keeping people from Christ. Evidence is, again, your refusal to answer my A or B question.

I did not avoid it but asked what is wrong with it saying that? To be honest, I thought your original question was about the immediate effect of taking the potion, not the future curse. Let me put it this way, If a woman who committed adultery is NOT pregnant, she cannot miscarry, correct...

That was not my question. My question is it prudent to sexually solicit a rapist?

OK. I thought your point was about the immediate, not future state. The voice also says This judgment ritual is a mixture of dust or ash and water to bring objectivity to the accusation of adultery on a wife. The result is either clearing her name or confirming the claim against her. The...

No excuses. Question asked. Question answered. KJV-only folks cannot see the IDOL they have created. This is demonstrated by the question, what is more important to you: A. Force as many people as possible to read your preferred translation? B. Bring people to Christ? That KJV folks don't...

Sure. Of course, there are such a thing as elements outside of our control. I'm not denying that. It just seems that the push is to deny guilty victims. The horror people have in reaction is often to lament and express contempt for 'blame the victim.' I suppose that book ends Satanic words on...

Who the hell are you to be strict or lenient regarding what translation people read?
