This thread went a bit edgy.
I don't see what the big deal is. In every book it still says Christ is King! The point is the gospel is still clear in every version.
Can a person hear from God while reading from any of the Bible versions available?
The differences in understanding from the various translations may only be in the minds of men. Does the Holy Spirit speak different meanings according to the version you are reading?
Will any person, truly following, as he is led by the Holy Spirit, be led astray in anything that matters to God due some man's less than perfect translation? Is God dependent upon the best translators and their written Bibles to sort it all out?
