In my last reply to this thread, I will state this:
Due to the obvious ( to me )
lack of arriving at a new standard Bible in the English, it has been demonstrated that out of all of today's
popular English translations, not
one was developed with an eye to accuracy as great as that found in the "KJV", and not
one of them was ever developed with the eventual goal of attaining a singular, "best" translation in the English.
Whether it's in using the CT or in avoiding, in their wording, other copyrighted "bibles" out there,
none are satisfactory, in my estimation...not even the "NKJV".
As I see it, the train rolls on with no end in sight, no matter
what rhetoric is constructed in support of the current,
for-profit publisher-supported translation efforts in English.
I have the Bible I started out my sojourn with, and it's a good one, from my perspective.
Again, as I've stated many times before, I see no reason to spend money that I know can go towards helping my brothers and sisters, in purchasing a "bible" that disagrees in so many places with the one that I know is God's word in my own language.
I have no desire to attack people, but I also have no desire to engage in conversation with those who are convinced that nothing is wrong with the modern English translations, either.
The facts are well-known on the internet, and this forum isn't likely to change any of the predominant thinking anywhere.
Finally,
I don't have to "prove" anything.
My opinion is my own, and my research into this subject is very intensive.
I'm not satisfied that I can ever trust anyone but God Himself to show me where to find His words...and I'm
very satisfied that He already has.
May God bless all of you greatly.
