Ok, why don't you provide some less KJV biased websites that prove the translations are sloppy. surprised


I already made note of several translation errors in the KJV in this thread. I think it was on the previous page. Besides, the links you presented seemed more like concerns and simply treated anything as not the received text to be corrupt.

English Standard Version or King James Version.

The English Standard Version is easiest to read and understand.


Why does King James keep on popping up?


It's the most authentic version of the bible and it's also one of the oldest versions. There's a highly good chance that it wasn't corrupted or tampered with by false prophets. Unfortunately some of the newer translations of the bible have been tampered with and re-written.

Isn't this the text that refers to temple prostitutes as "homosexuals" when the word and concept of "homosexual" was not around at the time?
The whole thing about the Israelites crossing the Red Sea doesn't even make sense geographically.

Edit:
Even more perplexing idea: which of theGospels is actually accurate? Did the sermon on the mount take place on a mountain or a plain? Did Jesus actually ride two donkeys into Jersusalem as it is implied (to reference a apparently misread "prophecy" wink in Matthew?

If you realize, the reason why the Catholic Church chose these four bibles in 185 is so they would reach four different audiences to the four corners of the Earth (and the four winds.... whatever that means). The Gospel of Luke actually used Mark as part of his historical. On that note, there is provided proof in Matthew that Jesus is the messiah by showing the lineage of his father as coming from the house of David. His father, as in Joseph. So why is there a virgin birth in Luke? Why to appeal to the Greeks who looked for special births for wise, important people.... Jesus's birth is remarkably similar to the story of Danae/ Theseus.

There are three forms of that the bible can be translated

Literal
Paraphrase
and Dynamic Equivalents

A literal version is a direct translation, but usually a large amount of the meaning is lost because of today's culture. Only those who really study the bible in hopes to understand the meaning of the author would usually use this text.

Paraphrase is for those who are completely new to the bible because it uses terms that would be easier to understand. One of the verses states that Jesus is the bread of life being a staple food at the time, but what if you come from a community which bread is difficult to gain? For asian people their staple food is rice, so the translator would re-write it as Jesus is the rice of life.

The Dynamic Equivalents is the middle ground between the two, making it easier to read than the literal translation, but not straying too far from the original meaning.
How can any Bible be right?

The word of God(s) written by man? I don't think so.
