@@InterdimensionalCabal 1 John 1:9 KJV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. You see, Jesus Christ is the only one who has the credentials to meet God's requirement that we must be perfect, or that a perfect man die in our place, in order to live with God and actually "do life' with God for eternity. Salvation is truly a gift from God. Even the faith to believe in Him is a gift from God, lest anyone should boast about the good decision they made. Just asking the question: "What does it mean to be saved?" is an indication that God is presently working on your heart; preparing it for salvation. And I hope that is a wonderful comfort to you. And how is it that Jesus Christ is qualified? How is it that he meets the stringent requirements set forth by God? Well, first off, the Bible says that the sins of the fathers are passed on from generation to generation through the (earhtly) father. So the original sin from Adam and Eve forward is passed on through the man. And since no man can be perfect, God himself condescended himself to somehow miraculously be the seed that impregnated Mary(a virgin with a pure heart) so that she could give birth to a sinless man, Jesus Christ. So Jesus Christ was fully man while remaining fully God when he died on the cross to pay for the sins of those who believe that he died a substitutionary death for those of us who believe in Him. Romans 10:9 declares: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

God is not the author of confusion.... Jesus Christ and Satan are not the same.... Go to First John 5:7.... Is your Bible talking about the Holy trinity of God? Or is it talking about some blood water and whatever. Does Bible teaches Christ is God and that he created all things?

One text came out of any of the church at Antioch. Mini Bibles of translated from a text that came from Alexandria Egypt. Egypt was a picture of sin and worldliness through the Bible. God had Moses lead his people out of Egypt. Satan is trying to lead people back into Egypt. Search your Bible for the words Morningstar. Find out Who each of those verses are talking about. Some of them were talking about Satan and later on they're talking about Jesus Christ. You have a fake Bible. The first John 5:7 about the Holy Trinity.

I was a junkie and I learned how to use/apply/ read a King James Bible in jail. The Holy Ghost taught me. The Holy Spirit will show you what peradventure means. And wot not means. That's why back in the day they used to use the King James Bible to teach people how to read. When they teach you to read, they teach you to use context clues. We know how important Bible context is. If God's word is important and preserved, why would you change it and update it. Why wouldn't you update your minds to learn it instead of looking for perversions, and watered down paraphrases.

100% agreed. The Lord led me to the King James and it changed my life. After a few months my sister asked me, are you reading the Bible a lot? You've changed. Of course I had to get used to the thees and thous but it was so easy, and the spirit that arose from the KJV was like a drink of water I had to keep coming back to. BTW Thou thee thy thine are just the singular form of You ye your yours, like I me my mine are the singular of Us we our ours. The T words fell into disuse because the King used to use the royal 'we' (the people) and his courtiers started calling him 'you' instead of 'thou'. This spread as a politeness to lords and ladies and finally down to all folk, until thee and thou became an insult to use, as we see in Shakespeare where one character says to the other, "Dost thou 'thou' me, thou dog!" When I next read my old Bible, the NIV, it was cold and in fact snake-like. I am not joking. The King James Version 1769 is God's ordained translation, his perfect word, preserved for us today.

I appreciate your comments on this. People often need a simple approach. I did take a couple semesters of Biblical Hebrew. Certainly not nearly enough, but it did give me a great appreciation for the challenge translators face. My normal reading version is NASB - I have become accustomed to reading the portions that use the "thee-s and thou-s" instead as modernized words. I use the Key Word Study Bible because it contains Hebrew and Greek dictionaries. What I recommend for others - who will not be studying Hebrew and Greek, is this ... Fundamentally, recognize there is a big difference between READING the Bible and STUDYING the Bible. Bible STUDY will get us blessing after blessing. But even for serious Bible students, we should not forget we all need at times to put the study versions and tools down and just pick up the Bible and READ and READ and READ. You will fall in love with reading the Bible and NOT want to stop! For reading - find a mainline version that is readable for you. Sounds simplistic, but it is truly important. So the version for reading is not so technically important as it may be for studying. Now, for studying, My advice is different. FIRST, start with an interlinear seriously!. I know of one available free online: Interlinear Scripture Analyzer from Scripture4all.org is freely downloadable. They tell you what original sources they use. But I find the greatest benefit to me is it makes me very aware of words in the original language. You get to see how the syntax and grammar is very different from English. Sometimes the words are similar enough the meaning is recognizable to me as an English speaker. But keep at it and you will come across some verses where you will shake your head and be very thankful there were translators to turn it into readable English. Hopefully you will join me is thinking that bickering over the ENGLISH words is futile. Then consider the element of copyright restrictions. There is a limit to how many English words can be used in the same order before a publishing house would be guilty of plagiarism. SECOND, compare the translations of several versions. Use BibleGateway.com's parallel function. Since there is no perfect "Word for word" translation of Biblical Hebrew or Biblical Greek into English, by comparing many, we are more likely to be exposed to the alternate shades of meaning these languages contain. Revealing alternate shades of meaning was a goal of "The Amplified Bible". And it is a worthy alternate to consider. Try it in BibleGateway.com to see how your favorite passages would look. THIRD, for Old Testament passages, be sure to also consider the Septuagint (LXX). The Septuagint is a Greek version of the Hebrew Scriptures which was translated a few hundred years before Jesus. As a new believer (a long time ago) when I saw the OT being quoted by NT authors, I would look up the cross- referenced OT passage and read it in the OT. But many times there were significant differences between the OT passage and the NT quote. For example, look at Acts 2:25-28 and compare to Psalms 16:18-11. OK, they are quite similar, but why the differences? NT Authors were usually already writing in Greek. So the OT they used was not the Hebrew Scriptures, but the LXX. FOURTH, Our brains absorb information differently when we READ versus when we HEAR. I had the Bible on CD for listening as I drove. There were times I would HEAR something that I felt was different from what I was familiar to having READ. Later when I would look up the passage to read it I would see the audio recording was accurate after all. So there is a benefit to listening to the Bible in the car AS WELL AS reading our Bibles. FIFTH, Regardless of which version we choose, the most important thing of all is to Read and Read and to keep Reading!

KJV vs ESV A simple test on how a translation treats the deity of Jesus Christ…. 1 Timothy 3:16 ESV- “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” KJV- “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. “ Notice the ESV and may I add NASB, NIV, New World Translation (JW’s Bible) Omitted “God” for “He”! “He” could be anyone , me, you, or anyone else! (Example: I was manifested in the flesh when I came into this world; I was vindicated in the spirit when I was born again; I am seen of angels then and now, etc) The King James Version specifically states that Jesus is God! Now the “Spirit of truth” would not testify otherwise!

It's not just the thee's, thou's and thine's (which would throw anyone off, who's not familiar with Shakespearean English), but also the occasional sentence structure, the archaic words and the false friends present (words that we still use today, but they have a completely different meaning than what they had back in 1611).

the only issue I have with the KJV is that some words had a different meaning back in 1611. For example Hebrew 4 verse 12: For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edge sword, piercing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart. Now, I thought quick meant fast, but doing research it actually means alive. Which is why I was thinking for buying the NIV version but found some very interesting information that made me second guess it so I'm looking to buy a New King James Version with updated english language.

It’s also inaccurate and has opened the door for things like Calvinism to exist for augments 1 Corinthians 1:18 from “being saved” to “been saved” Also in John 1:18, changes the word God to Son. Without context, crazy to not call Jesus God when it literally does in the original Greek. Craziest example is 1 Corinthians 1:18 though which now opens the debate of “can you lose your salvation?” The verse literally says “being saved” meaning that you that salvation in a verb not an adjective. - someone who went to a KJV only college and absolutely destroyed professors. I can’t tell you how many times my questions in class were answered with just “ask me about that after class”

I am one of the souls that Jesus saved, when I was a 22yo married college student!! It still brings tears to my eyes. It was 1973 and KJV was the MAIN Bible in the church I attended. I taught in a Christian School and that was the version we used. I believe that learning to read KJV really helps with brain vebal developement of the brain. In fact when I was in elementary school and Bible reading was included we memorized things from the KJV. However I was always confused by Psalm 23, but as a 1st grader I wondered why the three girls:Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy, were following him around. As as a very new Christian I began trying to read a new translation/paraphrase, every year. Most of them have faded into obscurity. But then the NIV came out and I still love the 1984 version, whiich is falling apart. My next favorite was ESV. As a young woman, even in the 60's and 70's, the masculine language in Bibles did not bother me, one I started actually reading them. I am a mild feminist, but I hate when people ruin great writing in an attempt to be PC. Such as rewording the Carol, Let Chrisian folks rejoice instead of men. Which ruins the poetry. I am considering goint to the NKYV, because my ESV and are literally falling apart. But I don't like the actual book I just bought. So I am not sure.

December 2021, my wife I decided we needed to strengthen our weak Bible knowledge. We read Bible in a year, every day in 2022. It was the NIV, which while glad we read it, wasn’t what we were looking for. This year we are both reading Bible in a year NKJV. Love it. My hunger for more word grew ferocious last fall & I bought a nice KJV, had never spent extensive time in it, it’s amazing. In January I added David Nortons New Cambridge Paragraph Bible. Love them both. Using the Bible in a year format I felt the room for one more a day; earlier this month I added my 2001 ESV. I was pleasantly surprised when I watched your video by the triangle.

They also do not leave out any verses found in the KJV, that may have been added for clarification. They too are found in the reference column. Alternate translation possibilities are also there.

YES! I so agree! I love the NASB as well--the older 1977 edition, not the more modern ones which have changed critical things. I love how it keeps the more intimate language of Thee and Thou in place when addressing God in prayer. There is nothing more intimate than prayer--expecially in John 17 when it is a conversation within the Godhead. To change it so that Jesus is saying 'you' to the Father in prayer is like Jesus putting the Father at arms length. Stick with the 1977 NASB, thank you. The newer ESV and NKJV just change things too much as compared to the NASB 1977 edition. They have been trying to change things ever since that Masterpiece was done. (Satan was not happy with that version so he went into overtime coming up with all the new versions to confuse people after that--even 'modernizing' the NASB 1977 version in 1995 and 2000....)

I’ve heard from the Lord so much in the KJV. The Amplified original (classic) explains what the meaning behind what the KJV describes in single words. I.e. “love.” What kind of love? Agape? Romantic? Brotherly? “ Peter, do you ‘love’ me?” That word the KJV and NKJV as “love,” isn’t the same in all three occurrences, as they would portrait. The Greek proves this. “The third time, He uses “phileō,” whereas the first two, “agape.” Both King James will NEVER open your eyes to this. Amplified is a good version that gives the context where single word usages fail. Be blessed saints. 🙏

Also check out the third testament spirit of truth I hope to hear more people conversate and debat it but as far as can tell it's scriptural and the knowledge of it has been proven based of my experience the only thing is that I can't find much research about it so I'm hoping to see videos of research. Plus based on my research god seems to be calling an Era every 2000 years and has been releasing a book around every Era. In around 2000bc he released the old testament around 400ad he released 2nd testament and about 1900 he released the third testament spirit of truth. I know things are done in cycles to.

In talks about Bible translation I often hear the phrase "Precise, word-for-word translation," including by you at 15:25 in this video. I'm an RTS grad and took Greek but not Hebrew. But I've done extensive professional translation in other languages. Languages each have their own syntax, style, and word order, and those differences often mean the best and most precise translation may not be word for word, because it's just as important to take into account the target language as the source language. I use the ESV, but like you I grew up with the NIV 1984, and as a professional translator I understand and appreciate the "dynamic equivalence" principle. Applying ipsissima verba too rigidly, especially toward word and phrase order, can result in a stilted and even distorted rendition that can lose the meaning of the source. The committees who have done all the translations you mentioned were not amateurs, and I am sure they took this into account, though here I'm not including those who have prioritizeed contemporary cultural considerations over accuracy and precision of the text.

Respectfully, you may want to use another example to prove your point. The previous verses immediately before 3:16 clearly state that God indeed is the main subject matter (ESV): “14 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, 15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.” Remember, context matters. What is written verses, even chapters before or after a verse helps define God’s Word. 😊

In 1980 I began my journey with the KJV, and used it for about 5 years. Then switched to the NKJV, which I very much enjoyed and used in the first years of Bible College. While in Bible college I adopted the 1977 NASB, and used it for many years until the ‘95 NASB came out. My preference was to use the most literal precise translation of the most evidenced manuscripts available. Although I have bought and referenced other translations, the NASB ‘95 remained my number one translation for about 23 years. When the Legacy Standard Bible became available in 2021, I was immediately smitten by the refinements and improvements to the NASB. The translators have done an amazing and thorough job in making revisions to the ‘95 NASB, while avoiding the more “politically correct” liberal leanings of the NASB 2020. As of today, the LSB is my preferred translation, although I often read from my old NASB ‘95 Bible with 20 years of notes. It’s like “home” to me. Maybe after my LSB editions get well worn and full of notes, I’ll feel at home with them. You are someone who will understand that sentimentality I’m sure. Anyway, thanks for the video, it was really interesting.

The very first things I really learned to read were bible verses in the meeting hall (Brethren) where my parents took me, from my birth onwards. I remember starting to read my dad's King James bible during the services, and looking at the pictures. One of the headings over the text was "Jesus heals divers sicknesses" "Divers" was the old rendering of "diverse" I found the pictures that this conjured up in my mind very moving, of Jesus standing over some poor guy, huddled on the floor on a harbour wall somewhere, struggling for breath after nearly drowning in a diving accident....

KJV vs ESV & CSB A simple test on how a translation treats the deity of Jesus Christ…. 1 Timothy 3:16 ESV- “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” KJV- “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. “ Notice the ESV and may I add CSB, NASB, NIV, New World Translation (JW’s Bible) Omitted “God” for “He”! “He” could be anyone , me, you, or anyone else! (Example: I was manifested in the flesh when I came into this world; I was vindicated in the spirit when I was born again; I am seen of angels then and now, etc) The King James Version specifically states that Jesus is God! Now the “Spirit of truth” would not testify otherwise!

It sounds fancier because it's using words we don't use anymore, but I just don't want to be confused with words that have changed the meaning and modern times versus then was throws off what the verse is that I'm reading.

I was raised in the church and my early years were KJV only. That was the version that I had memory verses of in sunday school and children's church. It is the version that the leaders of my church preached out of. KJV was the only version I knew until sometime in the 1990s. When my parents saw that I wanted to start reading the Bible, they got me a Living Bible translation. The Living Bible made everything easy to understand for me and made the Bible come alive in a way that it hadn't before. In the late 90s, after I had been reading the Living Bible for a few years, I got my first study Bible and it was NIV. I stayed almost exclusively with the NIV for the next 20 years. I now consult different versions when preparing lessons and sermons. I find that when you consult different versions you can get a better picture of the contents of the verse. Personally, I think my progression from the more reader friendly version of Living (New Living or Message might be good alternatives as well) to the NIV (an in-between translation in my opion as far as readablity) and now consulting a variety of versions and commentaries to deepen my knowlege made me fall in love and understand the Bible. The understanding that I had as a foundation was able to be built on with other verions that are more word-for-word.

It’s a comfort! I was disappointed to read the NIV and ESV left out the soul departing, and I assumed then that they must not be as accurate in translation as the others. I wasn’t going to get a new NIV or ESV because of that. What do you think, Pastor, about the difference in translation there?

I became a believer in early 1958 and at that time everyone in my circle of friends used the KJV and looked askance at using the Revised Standard Version. The first Bible I bought for myself was KJV in the Scofield Study Edition. So I learned early to accept the dispensations! I was involved with the Navigators and learned to memorize many many verses. That has stood me in good stead all these years. I and my friends were eagerly awaiting the whole Bible in the NASB but it was different than all the verses I had memorized in the KJV and so some of my memorized verses began to slip away not getting reviewed as much. So I settled on the NKJV and have not regretted it. Also I use the Phillips New Testament when I want to get another view on some passages. I love it.

LSB is another good translation. 😊 It's in essence a revision of the NASB95. James White said something like it's the NASB95 perfected, though I don't know about that. Its most notable features are using Yahweh instead of Lord, using slave consistently for doulos, and using other Hebrew and Greek terms consistently (e.g. lovingkindness for hesed). I think ny favorite thing about the LSB is the name. LSB is a lot more palatable to English speakers outside of America, whereas NASB can make it sound like it's primarily a translation for Americans.

There is nothing more intimate than prayer--expecially in John 17 when it is a conversation within the Godhead. To change it so that Jesus is saying 'you' to the Father in prayer is like Jesus putting the Father at arms length. Stick with the 1977 NASB, thank you. The newer ESV and NKJV just change things too much as compared to the NASB 1977 edition. They have been trying to change things ever since that Masterpiece was done.

Amen you are spot on, the KJV is the only bible to read translations was taken from the Textus Receptus, and not from the Greek , many new bibles was translated from both translations and even from other translations

The only reliable translation is the Douay Rheims.
