PassinThru...So, I guess, just like Greg, I have also given you information in the form of verse comparisons. Verse comparisons are much better than Ad Hominems. It is up to you do with it as you please.
So if I were a Hebrew scholar, I could do the same from the original Hebrew to the KJV, right? And I could come here and start a new thread called "For some Christians, the original Hebrew is the only Bible" just a thought. I have no dog in the fight either, but we just cannot stop at the KJV, and say all other versions are as you said are "perverted" if one is converted from the original, would it not be "perverted" also?

| | Re: | | I have all the respect in the world for folks that enjoy the KJV, but how on earth can one that cannot understand most of it's words enjoy or learn anything from the book? Has anyone ever tried to read a contract written by a good lawyer? I have, and I have to take it to my Lawyer to interrupt it for me. What we all should keep in our thoughts, is we all have different levels of IQ, I am not the brightest bulb in the house when it comes to tests or book stuff, but I can fix your Air Conditioner or repair you car for you, because these were my gifts from God. I get the most out of something I understand, I understand the NASV the best, at least I am reading my Bible, when I just use to look at the pictures in the KJV because that's was all I could understand in that version.

Why would you ask me to do something I can't do? can you compare the verses of the original Hebrew to the KJV? if so please show us a few comparisons.

| | Re: | | You are not serious about addressing the content of the new versions. My kids read the KJV and do fine. They know how to use a dictionary.
Would you like me to post another comparison and show you that words in the newer versions are actually more difficult?
I thought not.
I'm not posting anymore in this thread because you continue to avoid the real matter and that is what the verses say in the new (per)Versions compared to the KJV.
No one ever wants to deal with that.

Well, You are not serious about addressing the content of the original Hebrew to anything later than it. So it looks like we both reading the wrong versions.
Edit:
And you continue to avoid the real matter and that is what the verses say in the new Versions/KJV compared to the Original Hebrew.

My kids can work on a 50 ton chiller a/c system they have read the books, can yours? If not I have the books we can send them out on a job tomorrow. Look I personally think it's terrible that some can call the versions "perverted" after the KJV version, but cannot call the KJV "perverted" after the Original Hebrew, this is a double standard.

| | Re: | | I usually don't get into these discussions but my heart is for the lost and new Christians.
If someone believes the KJV version is the closest to the true translation it is okay. But if that person has a religious spirit and says it is the only one that should be read and condemns those who read another translation - that can be very hurtful and even damaging.
I heard, even yesterday, people saying that they cant understand the KJV and dont read it as they have tried. If a person is not being able to understand or being taught by it they should go to one that they are being fed by.
Unfortunately so many who believe only the KJV should be read turn many away from reading the Bible.
My whole point is is that we dont put God in a box nor others due to our personal thoughts. But let God be God in each persons lives. He is so faithful as we seek Him.
The most important thing is that people are being convicted of sin, turning their lives over to Jesus and to a personal relationship with Him and being transformed into His likeness. And how God does this is personal for each one of His.
Yes, I know I look foolish. The Lord uses the foolish to confound the wise sometimes and I will be a fool for Christ any day. I also know I am among the least of these here in most areas. But I do love my Lord, have a heart for the lost and new Christians because He gave it to me.
And I say to all. If you are being taught, your spirit being fed. Please continue. You can go to Bluebible.com, listen to sermons here on SI. At Bluebible.com there are translations to compare. There is a section on cults as well to make sure the Bible you are reading is not among them.
Please forgive me if I have offended anyone. It is not my intention at all.
Be lifted up O' God among the peoples in Your Son, Jesus Christ's Name.
