[Faith-talk] true translations

[Paul]

If I were you (and I'm not), I'd avoid The Message or the New World 
Translation, the Message because its translation is so free and loose that 
one can wonder if it is accurately presenting the Word as God intended it, 
and the New World Translation because it came from the mind of Charles Taze 
Russel, founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses.  Having said that, though, I 
wouldn't suggest that you avoid those versions altogether, but let the Holy 
Spirit guide you in the version He wants you to use and which you would find 
most comfortable in reading.  Paul
