[Faith-talk] true translations

[Poppa Bear]

Hello Devin, here is a thought I want to put out there, are Gods promises,
plan of salvation, commandments, Characteristics, any different from say the
KJV, to the NIV, to the Living Bible and a half dozen others? I mean, maybe
think about your favorite verses, and look them up in a few different
translations and see if there is a substantive difference, in tone,
direction or precept. You may find out that they are closer than you might
think. I know that there are Churches that swear by one version, analytical
books that campaign for one version over another, but I have found faithful
Christians who read the NIV, the Amplified, the American standard and all
hold onto the same promises from the Bible, because here is the thing, the
promises are spiritual and really do transcend languages, the language that
is used in a particular translation is just a vehicle to carry God's
promises of salvation to a world of lost sinners and the goal of translators
is not only to be accurate, but to be able to bring translations that talk
to the people in the way they are used to communicating in real life. Take
Jesus, he didn't speak to the people in ancient Hebrew because he needed to
speak the same language that perhaps Moses spoke, he spoke in the particular
tongue that the people of his day spoke in, he spoke in the most common
tongue so even a child could have understood him and I think that he gave us
a wonderful example to follow. Now, can the Devil take advantage of the
different translations? He sure can, that is his job, to kill, steel and
destroy, and he will do it through anything, just like when Jesus was in his
ministry, the Devil tried to use the scriptures against him, and as Jesus
was the living word, he was treated just like the written word, his words
were twisted, doubted, questioned and disregarded and this happens to the
written word every day.
Well, I hope you can maybe find something in all of these words I'm
stumbling through, take care.

Hi all. I've lately gotten caught up in the KJV-only thing, and while I 
believe that not only the KJV can be the way God preserves his Word, I 
do believe that some versions can be made purely by man. So, do you all 
know of any translations I should be careful of? For now, I use a very 
well version called "the voice". It truly makes me feel as ifI'm reading 
the Bible fresh, for the first time.
