Answer 1

KJV as a child, now no bible at all...

Answer 2

I started with the King James Bible, (which I still use).

I have several bibles which I read including the NASB, RSV, NKJV, Amplified, NJB, and several more.

My main bible is the 'New World Translation'

I have to agree with :

Jason BeDuhn
Associate Professor of Religious Studies, and Chair
Department of Humanities, Arts, and Religion
Northern Arizona University


New Testament:

While critical of some of its translation choices, BeDuhn called the New World Translation a “remarkably good” translation, “better by far” and “consistently better” than some of the others considered. Overall, concluded BeDuhn, the New World Translation “is one of the most accurate English translations of the New Testament currently available” and “the most accurate of the translations compared.”—Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New Testament.

“Here at last is a comprehensive comparison of nine major translations of the Bible:

King James Version, New American Standard Bible, New International Version, New Revised Standard Version, New American Bible, Amplified Bible, Today's English Version (Good News Bible), Living Bible, and the New World Translation.

The book provides a general introduction to the history and methods of Bible translation, and gives background on each of these versions. Then it compares them on key passages of the New Testament to determine their accuracy and identify their bias. Passages looked at include:

John 1:1; John 8:58; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:15-20; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8; 2 Peter 1:1

Answer 3

NKJV.After extensive studying of all the versions I know that only the King James is God's Word.All the others[including the NKJV] are corrupted to the core.And just because cults use it means nothing.They always misuse it or have extra-biblical works in their religions.But I understand why you put that sidenote in there,because many people falsely think that only Mormons or fanatics use it.The Antioch texts were pure and used by the 1611 translators.The Alexandrian texts were known to be riddled with errors,but all the other versions are derived from it.And yes,the Duoay Catholic is corrupted as well.

Answer 4

I just used the bible they gave me in church. I don't remember what it was. When I was older I did a lot of research on bible translations and chose NIV. Just because the type manuscripts they translated, it is different then what was used for the KJV. However, when actually comparing the translations, they basically say the same thing. I often look up the Greek word to see exactly what the word means, it sometimes helps me understand things better.

Answer 5

There is no truly correct English version of the Bible, since the Bible was not originally written in English and some parts can't be accurately translated.

Answer 6

C'mon, you're able to do greater advantageous than that. arise with something unique. EDIT: Anton Levy didnt instruct something new. He had no unique concepts.

EDIT: What happened on your suited grammer and punctuation? Are you at a loss for words approximately which considered one of your money owed you're typing for? Curious replaced into the only with the undesirable sentance shape, Drake replaced into the nicely knowledgeable one that could desire to variety a readable sentance; you obtain them mixed up boy. LOL i'm heavily cracking up now, you're so humorous.

And incredibly disrespectful o sacred issues, yet thats what your tring to do.

Answer 7

I started with Douai-Reims and now I use parallel translations. I prefer translations that are fairly accurate and not "politically correct(ed)" and which contain the Deuterocanonical Books of the Old Testament. I like to use an interlinear Bible( Hebrew and Greek with literal English in exact word order of original language underneath each word).

Corruption and interpolation in bible exposed.

Christians confessed that they are Corrupting and Interpolating Bible

Concept of trinity Trinity is taken from 1 John, chapter 5 verse no 7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one."
In Bible (R.S.V.) revised by 32 Christian scholars of the highest eminence backed by 50 different co-operating denominations, this verse which is the keystone of the Christian faith has been removed as an INTERPOLATION, as a fabrication and as a concoction. It has not been expunged from the Bible by the Muslims or non-Christians, but by 32 Christian scholars as a concoction fabrication because this verse does not exist in the original manuscript. We Muslims must congratulate the galaxy of D.D.’s (Doctors of Divinity) who have been honest enough to eliminate another lie from the English R.S.V. Bible, thus bringing it closer to the teachings of Islam and the Glorious Qur’an.

There are more than 3,500 versions of bible in this world.

Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.
First Roman Catholic Bible was published at Rheims in 1582. Second one published at Douay in 1609. These called RCV version of Bible. The Protestants regarded 7 books as ‘apocrypha’ (doubtful authority) and removed them from Bible. (The Book of Judith, The Book of Tobias, The Book of Baruch, The Buck of Esther, etc.) Jesus pbuh said in the book of Revelation Chapter 22 Verse 18-19 ". . . If any man shall add to these things (or delete) God shall add unto him the plagues written in this Book." On deleting 7 books from bible, the Catholics call ‘cult of Christianity’ to the Seventh Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses.
