The Bible is highly figurative. This is one of those times.

If you did not repeat yourself so much, you'd sound like a broken record. :eek:

Agreed. KJVism, KJV-only suppresses access to the Word in 2 ways: 1. Strongly condemns other translations (except maybe NKJV) 2. Makes it more difficult to understand in a non-native language. (Middle English is not native to any living person.)

You too have been victimized by this Christian IDOLATRY. So at odds with Romans 14:1, 13.

IDOLATRY is not made for God's kingdom. Other translations are obsolete but you don't see people pushing them AS IF the parchment ought to be worshipped.

Jesus is not God as Jesus literally died. God cannot die. See the literal difference?

Interesting way to put it. A non-response. Only one denomination thinks Jesus founded a church on Peter. There are over 30,000 denominations and only 1 thinks this. A trolling, flaming non-response!

It remains in the Bible approved by those denominations. How so abandoned?

I also like the NLT. The VOICE translation came out in 2012 and is written in manuscript format, making it explicit who is talking. The Ephesians 4:29 VOICE translation convicts me more than any other verse in the entire Bible. You'll see me post this translation the most. These, along with CEV...

Right. Figurative language. Words are not beings.

I reject the implied premise of your question. It is not God who became flesh but his word. His words were spoken by a man he chose as Moses wrote in Deuteronomy 18:15-18.

I don't think you do. Do you think you would have come to Christ if that church used another translation or did you come to Christ only because of the KJV translation? To say I dislike the KJV is missing the mark a bit. I simply do not speak Middle English and do not and will not read any...

LOL I understand and reject trinitarianism in all its permutations. Did you not read Deuteronomy 18:15-18? God did not 'become flesh' his words were put in a man. Can you not understand the difference between a word and a being?

Oy vey! The Word in John 1 is (the word of) God not Jesus. Reading 1 Samuel 15 today. The LORD's commands to utterly destroy all the Amalekites is a a great character difference. 3 I want you to go down against Amalek and destroy them, everything they have. Do not allow anything to survive...

If that is your budget, obsolete KJV is all your likely to find. I’m so glad I waited to get the CEV. It came out in 1995 and is a thought translation targeted for 8th grade reading level. Of course, it is too new to be discounted.

Myth. The KJV has its day in the sun. It’s time has come and gone. We don’t speak Middle English anymore.

For easy reading, I love the CEV.

Not authority, Circular Reasoning. JFK Jr is alive because he has to be alive. Again, John 1:1 does not even refer to Jesus or have Jesus in the sentence.

A deliberate trinitarian mistranslation as it is STILL figurative language referring to God, not Jesus. It is A deliberate trinitarian mistranslation as John 6:60 translates the same Greek word as “this” in referring to word.

No. A word is spoken by a who. Check the dictionary. John 1 says it?! Sad Appeal to Circular Reasoning.
