Before moving up north, I would have thought (after reading this) that this was a joke. Surely no one can be so light-headed as to think that a Bible authorized by a king in the 17th Century, using Old English, could be the same text that Jesus used and spoke during the 1st Century. The quotes in this article come from people who actually believe that other translations that are far more accurate to the original Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew are Satan-employed.

I can understand one’s preference for the poetic language of the KJV but to still hold onto such laughable beliefs after this much time and scholarly, Christian study into the Holy Scriptures seems a bit sad. After living in TN. for these three years I can see how deeply rooted such problems are in the minds of KJV enthusiasts. I personally believe that we should worship not the book of the Bible but the God portrayed in that Bible, who became flesh in Jesus. When our focus is there we are able to actually see the different voices/opinions of those who wrote our Bible (through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit) and can learn the lessons that God has intended for us.

I know what you mean, I have several versions as well. I have, on occasion, found verses in the NLT to take a different tack than other versions and was initially skeptical. Now that I’m in seminary and have a Greek NT I try to check questionable material against the ‘original’ before discounting what is said. This article really points out in a humorous way how people can get caught up in senseless controversy and miss what is literally right before their eyes. Hopefully those numbers are dropping though.

deaubry,

As someone who has a basic understanding of Greek, I can tell you this. The work that has been done on translations recently is so excellent that you don’t actually need a greek NT. It’s great to learn to read it, don’t get me wrong, but you won’t get “missing meaning” that will make a difference in your life like some think you might.

I’m a NLT user now, almost exclusively, myself. I find it is great. I do, however, recommend ditching your Amplified Bible. It often amplifies meanings that aren’t actually implied, and causes more confusion than anything else. I know of several very top Greek scholars who feel the same way. It’s hard to read and doesn’t actually help you live any. Stick with NLT, imho.

peter, what i want to know is this, and please dont think i,m crazy for asking.  DID JESUS GO TO HELL WHEN HE DIED,AND WAS HE REBORN LIKE WE ARE, BUT HE WAS THE FIRST, I KNOW HE WAS NOT THE FIRST TO BE RAISED FROM THE DEAD, WAS HE SEPERATED FROM GOD FOR A TIME , HE DID TAKE OUR SINS ON HIS OWN BODY, WAS HE SPIRITUALLY DEAD, HE TOOK OUR PLACE, DID HE GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH. i hope i am making sence.  i sure would like to know because i have always believed this., i told this to a preacher once and he said i was evil for thinking such a thing. i told him that i believed that the holy spirit went into hell to get him out and the man liked to have fainted, he called me some pretty bad names, well i just thought that is how it was.please let me know.

Deaubry, the KJV is a translation of the original Greek so, yes, they say the same thing. Here’s a little break-down as I understand those which I have read:
KJV - translation is very poetic, Old English, 16th Century;
NIV - More current translation, line-by-line translation;
NASB - Word-for-word translation in modern vernacular;
NRSV - Word-for-word translation from ecumenical scholars, tries to stay free of denominational, religious bias;
NLT - Thought-for-thought translation, most readable but misses out on some of the particulars, if that interests you.
I hope that helps a little.

it was not my pastor, but another preacher in a group just talking about jesus and what he did for us.
