Does The Translation Of The King James Bible For The Truth Of Christianity Have Any Relevance?

Addressed some issues regarding the translations of the Bible, especially the King James Bible, and its relation to the truth of Christianity.

If you take the time with the King James old English it comes just as naturally as modern. Problem is we live in a society where putting your own effort into something is too hard and it should be left to others, so we get all these translations in the end. Give the KJV a chance it’s a beautiful book.

My first English Bible is the KJV, but english my 3rd language, its really hard sometimes for me to understand the old english, so i bought ESV and NASB. Now i understand them both better. Holy Spirit will guide you to the truth. GOD Bless us all.

I still use my KJV. The "let" example isn't hard to figure out. I like using a Strongs concordance alongside and engage in deep study, figuring the translation myself. I just feel much fuller and throughly fed.

King James is where to go my total humble opinion

This should be an argument IN the church among coffee, not in front of the unbelievers.

Thanks Frank. I look fwd to notifications of your video's, which are not only interesting, but as someone who debates various Atheists and Muslims online; I am now learning how to tackle some of the tougher questions about our Christian faith through your Q&A style videos... questions that are not always black and white, but which you tend to explain in laymans terms, yet without excluding the historicity behind why we believe what we do as Christians. Helpful!
God bless you Frank.

I admire believers who really want the purest available version of the Scriptures, it truly is the best of motives. I’m not sure why it seems impossible for some to believe that God is unwilling or incapable or not interested in preserving His Word accurately beyond 1611.

[bryanjacobs]

If the KJV is the standard, then nobody had the Bible until 1611. The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, not Elizabethan English.

[jackjones]

That is the point: These differences and nuanced textual variations are minor and in no way discredit the essential truths of God's word.

NKJV and KJV is what I prefer. I've heard some say that without KJV you can't be saved. The early church didn't even have a Bible, and they were saved. There are Christians in Brazil who speak Portuguese, and they don't read the KJV. Revelation 7:9 says there will be all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues worshipping the Lamb. I love both my KJV and NKJV, but they are not the way to Heaven, faith in Jesus Christ, and His death, burial, and resurrection for us is. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

[HDFXSTC]

The KJV upholds the Deity of Christ in I Tim. 3:16:

KJV: "... God was manifest in the flesh..."
ESV: "... He was manifested in the flesh..."
NASV: "... He who was revealed in the flesh..."
NIV: "... He appeared in a body..."

Great questions- stick with the timeless King James Bible and you’ll never go wrong!

I read king james first, then if I dont understand I read other versions but all of them have helped me grow closer to God. If something doesn't read or sound right pray and ask God.

[joebattista]

We are King James bible BELIEVERS not apologists treating God's word as any other book written by men. You either believe God preserved His word or you do not. You will never be able to prove where God's word is just as you cannot prove that God exists. Hebrews 11:6

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” God's ways are not our ways and who will tell Him how He should move? God has preserved His word- you either believe it or you make up your own word. It is not a matter of academics or preferences but of FAITH.

[Sujiceel]

We currently have asimilar situation in our country (Philippines) where a new "taglish" (filipino-english) version just recently this month that uses slangs from both languages and a lot of Christians from different denominations find skeptical and caused a lot of outrage apparently due to how the language is being used to translate the Bible.

I'm curious if this insight would explain it?

[rlunnerstall]

Why are there so many Bible Translations? Money, the kjv is the only Bible you can print without owing soneone a royalty. You can change any Bible by 10% and have your own Bible Version. How accurate is anything if it is changed by 10%???

[ThomB]

Textus Receptus all the way! If it is not the Textus Receptus, then don’t use it, you will be misled.

[rlunnerstall]

Many versions give the impression Jesus lies to His brothers in John 7:8 by leaving the word "yet" out. In the KJV Jesus says, "I go not up yet unto this feast". If Jesus is our Holy Saviour He must always be Holy, dishonesty is unholy.

[qlq]

Don’t just stick to one translation. And look into the original interpretation as much as possible. With the resources we have at our finger tips it’s not that hard to study for yourself.It’s that simple!

Technically "let" means "prevent" TODAY in Tennis. Not to mention context is key.
