Did I ever get an answer on the negatives of the Living Translation? Sorry, but didn't have time to read through all of the LOONGGG posts.

Maybe it was missed, because of all your short posts?

Let's look in NIV on John 3:16, it says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Is there a serious doctrine in NIV on John 3:16?

Is there a big difference between TEV, NIV with KJV on John 3:16? No. All of three versions telling the same doctrine on John 3:16.
Please look at a word, "begotten" on John 3:16. The KJV has it, but moderm versions do not have it.
Does NIV deny the blood of Christ forgive our sins?
The blood refers to the doctrine of Jesus Christ. I noticed a word, "blood" omission in NIV many passages because NIV does not reverence Jesus's name.
How about Romans 5:9 in NIV? NIV of Romans 5:9 says, "Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!"
Is there difference doctrine between NIV and KJV on Romans 5:9?
No plm! Please look up other verses where the blood was omitted.
KJVO people have to be opening their mind, and listen to people who use any versions, they would telling to KJVO that their versions do have the same doctrine as KJV does.
Open mind? Be careful! It can be a foolish.
My old deaf Christian friend who is now in the heaven. She used to attend Independent Fundamental Baptist church. That church is KJVO. I visited her house, I was amazing at her library, she have TON of different versions. She told me, when she was in her early Christian life, she always reading through whole NIV from Genesis to Revelation comepletely in average one to two years. She impressed me. She was actually love the Lord so much. Even, she LOVED to reading Bible. She does not realized that NIV have errors. One day, a Sunday school teacher(deaf leader of deaf ministry is a strongly KJVO). He told her, that she being demand to use KJV all the times, not reading NIV. So, she accepted what he saying. But, she told me, NIV helped her so lot before she start to read KJV, because she understand NIV with doctrines very clear. In fact, she did reading through whole KJV from Genesis to Revelationcomepled several times before her death.
It is up to her if she is not aware of the difference between the KJV and NIV. In DBFA a woman told me that she understands the difference between them. She uses the KJV hereafter. I was surprised to hear what she told me.
Well, I am now attending Community Evangelical Church. That church was used to attend Highland Park Baptist Church(in Southfield, MI.), but they left that church because of disagree with the deacons, the way what they treated with pastor. Anyway, often, I listened to a new pastor preached from his Bible during services, he used ASV, he did preached on verse to verse. I have no problem with him, I always use KJV all the times while listening him preaching. He preaching from ASV does not bother me long as he preaching the same doctrines as what KJV saying.
They should go to ASV church. Other people go to the NIV church, Other people go to te KJV church.
I think many KJVO seems have their narrow mind, not willing to opening their eyes and listening to people what they saying about their versions, what they have reading through, they would saying their modern have the same doctrines as KJV does.
MVs and the KJV are MUCH different because MVs affected any doctrines, YES! You are right the KJVO is narrow minded because Michelle answered you her post. MVO ignored the Biblical principles.
In fact, I have seen KJVO always criticizing on people who reading different versions, they might saying to them, that they reading the corrupt words. They have to be careful what they saying toward their own brothers and sisters in Christ.
The Bible said, " do not err!" If Christians did wrong, you can rebuke them, right? If so, that is why the KJVO rebukes MVO.

I only know of 1 verse, Col 1:14, where the "blood" is not present in the NIV where it is present in the KJV, but this is because of manuscript reasons and not because of the unjust explaination that the NIV does not reverence Jesus' name. What are some of the other "many passages" where the NIV has a "blood" omission?

Askjo said "Please look up other verses where the blood was omitted."

I tried, and found none. Please provide them.

Askjo said "MVs and the KJV are MUCH different because MVs affected any doctrines, YES!"

No, doctrine is the result of interpretation. Two people can read two different translations and come to agreement on doctrine. Two other people can read the same translations and come to disagreement on doctrine.

NASU95 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

NIV "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, {[16] Or his only begotten Son}that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

ASV "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life."

YLT "for God did so love the world, that His Son--the only begotten--He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during."

So where's the problem? Did I miss something?

You are incorrect because you are so blind by denying that. Is Jesus doctrine? Is hell doctrine? You deny what God said about His own Words, the Scriptures. The Bible warned that we will TREMBLE at His WORD. The Word will JUDGE us. Please quit your foolishness dealing with God's Words.

Nice and normal evasion tactic you used. Words and opinions come cheap, ecspecially when not supported, nor coming from the scriptures. You don't like to reason with the scriptures at all, natters.

False witness.

Do you not see the irony of your statement? I said the scriptures do not mention the KJV (which is true!), then you argue against me by talking about when we say things that do not come from the scriptures (like discussions about the exclusivity of the KJV, which is not mentioned in the scriptures!). Oy vey!

Of course they don't Natters! They don't say, nor would say the name or label that man has attached to them. The would not say the King James Bible. This is a NAME ONLY that has been attached to the WORDS OF GOD - the scriptures. Now do ya get it Natters?


Now please answer my question.

So if scripture doesn't name any single exclusive translation, why should we? Isn't that going beyond what scripture says?

Askjo,

Of course, I know the word, 'begotten' is not in NIV, it appears in KJV. Begotten in Greek, it means, the only one.

In NIV of John 3:16, it says, "...his one and only Son..."

It same meaning as 'begotten' of KJV.

NIV does not deny the deity of Christ, and of course, NIV believes Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God.

NIV of John 3:16 does not effect doctrine much different, it is same as KJV on 3:16.

In fact, when I was a Lutheran, many Lutherans love John 3:16, they use Today's English Version. Lutherans believe Jesus Christ is the truly Son of God, also he is the deity of God.

KJVO easily accuse on people who use different moderns, that they reading false or corrupt Bibles with lies and deceived. But, in fact, many Christians who read different moderns, they do believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He is the deity of God.

Not be surprise, many cults do use KJV in America. Many who reading KJV, but they have different views and beliefs of the doctrines in KJV, what they interpreting.

I do have a book - 'New Age Bible Version' by G.A. Riplinger. It shows there many charts on the comparing versions with KJV.

I already know that many versions have many omit verses.

But, KJV does added words unto it, not actual what Greek saying, it called, 'Italics'.

So, I think it is silly for anyone argue or debate about moderns. I notice KJVO caused many churches split or divisions because of the issues. Dr. Peter Ruckman caused many churches into divisions because of it.

We have to focus on the doctrines, teaching, preaching God's Word to people to growing in the Lord, witness gospel to people to become saved.

If you keep on continue accuse or criticize about any person use different versions. Then, I suggest, this topic should be closed for good.

In Christ
Rev. 22:20 -Amen!

You hit the nail on the head. You do know what scripture teaches about those who cause division.

Sometime read http://www.aomin.org/ruckcor.html so you will get a little better picture of who Ruckman really is.

Prov. 6:12-19, "A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

"Begotten" is missing, to which is a very important word, denoting the deity of Jesus Christ and separates him from ANY OTHER MAN.
How does begotten denote diety and more than unique or one and only does?

"Unique" and "one and only" seem to set him apart from the others more than "begotten" does, for all believers are "begotten" into sonship, but he is the "unique" son--the one different from the others.

DeafPosttrib, modern versions affected any doctrines of the Bible.

Keep repeating it, and maybe someday it will come true.

The greek word for "only begotten" is monogenEs. "Mono" means "only." "GenEs" from a Greek word, "gennaO" means "to be begotten." This full Greek word means "only begotten."

They accuse MVO for missing the Biblical principles.

Yes, I have Gail's book, but I realize that Gail has some mistakes in her book. She is right about MVs.

Well, you and I use ASL, right? Is ASL English? No! When deaf people write with ASL, not English, a hearing person helps Deaf person to correct English grammar.

ASL:

blue car home.

English with "Italics":

My blue car is at home.

That is how the KJV translators translated from the Hebrew and Greek language to English language. Greek is not English. Hebrew is not English.
I notice KJVO caused many churches split or divisions because of the issues
To use the Sword of God is to divide for the Truth.
Dr. Peter Ruckman caused many churches into divisions because of it.
I disagree with Dr. Peter Ruckman concerning the KJV inspiration, but he is a scholar on textual criticism showing the manuscript evidences. I agree with him.
We have to focus on the doctrines, teaching, preaching God's Word to people to growing in the Lord, witness gospel to people to become saved.
I agree with you.
If you keep on continue accuse or criticize about any person use different versions. Then, I suggest, this topic should be closed for good.
It is necessary to fight for the KJV, yes. I recommend you to get a book, "For love of the Bible" by David Cloud. This book will tell you about the battle for the KJV/TR.

This is a good question for Michelle. If the KJV is a perfect translation "word for word" of the originals, why were words added to clarify. In other words, the ones in italics that they admit are "added"?
