Featured Fact that 1560 Geneva Bible is better than 1611 edition in some places

Do you trust in the Hebrew and Greek texts that the Kjv used for their translation?

 

Since I am the only one answering questions, yes, I do. Next.

 

Did the Geneva Bible translate in some instances better then the 1611 kjv did?

 

I bet you do not know what I am getting ready to tell you but Jesus Christ, having the Spirit of God residing in his body without measure, did not choose a single word he said, except those he spoke on the cross when he had suffered spiritual death for you and for me. Following is his words and it is how I can say this with confidence.

Jn 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. (BECAUSE HE SPOKE THE WORDS OF GOD - that is the point)

45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

If Jesus did not paraphrase God, why do you think it is okay for you to do it? Answer my question please.

 

So why did the Translators choose to give dynamic renderings, or add or omit words from the Greek text, is that acceptable to you?

 

you first.

 

You are assuming that it is not logical and proper to observe the ways of the LORD as it is given us to observe in the historical context of bible times and to be guided by it. Can you think of any instance in the biblical record where God allowed his word to be handled in the manner you are handling it? I remember reading about a king who destroyed the original copy and God just rewrote it word for word and then added some things to it. One has to wonder if the added words had been settled beforehand in heaven.

I don't see any precedent for your doctrine in scripture and I do not see God commending unbelief in what he says.

He says the words of the Lord are pure words. You either believe it or you don't. This is not hard to figure out.

 

The pure words only apply towards the originals, never to any translation

 

See post # 48

 

To be silent is to agree. You have supported by your silence the present practice of paraphrasing and condensing and the art of continuing to translate original language texts over and over that no one believes are 100% reliable as if there is not a personal Devil, who is called Satan, and who is at least as much concerned about translations as you are. Are you prepared to say you are more righteous than me because you accept all these many and varied translations and preach that God is leading his church in this practice and I have not?

 

Well, get yourself a couple dozen new translations and knock yourself out reading them. You can read them as a novel at least. Depending on the ones you choose, it will be like a new story in every one.

 

same way if you bothered to buy and look over all of the various Kjv editions made over the centuries!

 

The Holy Spirit ONLY authorized as the editor directly the originals, as they were inspired by Him and perfect, not any translation

 

You have not warned anyone about the errors in the critical texts, and knowing myself, if I wanted to write and sell books on the subject of translations, I would not either.

 

Don't you even know that Greek scholars disagree among themselves on the veracity of several passages in the critical texts? So much for an authority, eh?
