Question

Answer 1

New American Standard isn't bad. An original Jerusalem (pre 1966....wasn't sold in the US and the original was not a "Catholic" Bible) or Rotherham is best. If you HAVE to have a KJV, get the Zodhiates version - has a concordance in both the original Greek and Hebrew. Most people have never really read the Book they quote - when you see what it REALLY says (particularly Genesis and the words of Christ), everything makes perfect sense.

KJV is just that - King James' version. Not accurate to the original translation in many ways, particularly Genesis and the New Testament. Do a Google on King James. He wasn't exactly qualified - by any stretch of character - to attach his name to a Bible.

Answer 2

The vast number of Bibles (translations of the Bible) have significant accuracy. Remember no language has a word to word correspondence. The Bible does not change, really check out the various translations. We also have excellent Greek and Hebrew manuscripts so anyone can check the accuracy of any translation (this is why the New World Translation is known to be a poor translation). The central truths of Christianity are common across almost all denominational boundaries. There is certainly less practical difference amongst Christian denominations and interpretations than there is amongst Muslim interpretations of the koran [those translations vary from some saying jihad is merely spiritual and others who seek to kill every last infidel]. How do Muslims decide if infidels need to be killed or not...

Answer 3

it doesn't matter which Bible you follow. They all are the word of God. When you choose one, you want to choose one that is easy for you to understand. I read the NIV, i've grown up with it, so i'm used to it. The thing about Bibles is there are two ways they were translated. One is word for word, where all they did was make the best matches of the words. Another way was by the meaning, where they tried to get the emotion of the writer accrossed by, maybe, changing a word or two. Most Bibles have a mix of both, but lean one way or the other. The NIV is more a straight up translation. I feel it makes it easier to hear God when I'm reading it because I'm not distracted by all the emotion. But ultimately, the choice needs to be made by you. just try a few different styles, and see which one you "click" with more. <><

Answer 4

I follow the Kings James Version as I have looked into many other versions and found that some of the most important verses of Scripture either have been deleted or wording has been changed and in the changing of words have changed the meaning.

That is scary for the one that eliminated any words of the Bible, Revelations22:19 states this:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.

2 Peter 2:21 states this: For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Answer 5

You say "which Bible". There is only one Bible but written different ways. By this, I mean, written for better understanding or written in language that is easier understood. Each religion has it's own 'version' to follow. My Bible(s) are NKJV study Bible, NLV study Bible and a very old KJV. All written the same but different. I follow my belief in God. I have faith in the Holy Word.

Answer 6

There is very little difference in Bible translations. There are some paraphrased versions that make things a bit more difficult but I believe that God has preserved enough truth in any one of them that the sincere person who has the right heart condition can find him if they don't give up.

Answer 7

new king james is prolly the most accurate. I have a word study that has the actual greek and hebrew text in the back. Can be helpful. I know many that swear by Dakes (sp?) bibles.

Answer 8

The corrupt translations of the different language.

Except Holy Quran all the other books of GOD doesn't exists in original or may be some form of the corrupt translations of the different language.




QURAN is the only WORD OF GOD in ORIGINAL/PURE FORM. Reason is clear in the verse below, that GOD promised to protect QURAN.

[15:9] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it.

The Quranic challenge (since past 1400 years, present and future)

Here are the verses that mention the challenge;


Say, "If all the humans and all the jinns banded together
in order to produce a Quran like this, they could never
produce anything like it, no matter how much assistance
they lent one another." [17:88]


If you have any doubt regarding what we revealed to our
servant, then produce one sura like these, and call upon
your own witnesses against GOD, if you are truthful.
[2:23]


This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than
GOD. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a
fully detailed scripture. It is infallible, for it comes from
the Lord of the universe. If they say, "He fabricated it,"
say, "Then produce one sura like these, and invite
whomever you wish, other than GOD, if you are truthful."
[10:37-38]


If they say, "He fabricated (the Quran)," tell them, "Then
produce ten suras like these, fabricated, and invite
whomever you can, other than GOD, if you are truthful."
[11:13]


Do they say, "He made it all up?" Instead, they are
simply disbelievers. Let them produce a Hadith like this,
if they are truthful. [52:33-34]
