Aineo,
I am certainly not trying to sound insulting, but what makes you an authority on which translation is a better one? Are you getting your information off of web sites that criticize the KJV bible in support of the NASB, NIV etc.? With all the omittions in the NIV, NASB, RSV and others, I am reminded of Jeremiah 23:36, "Ye have perverted the words of the living God", and also Mark 4:15, "....Satan cometh immediately and taketh away the word.......'
Here is some information,
The Greek text used to translate the NIV, NASB and others was an edition drastically altered by a Spiritualist {a person who conducts seances}, who believed he was in the "new age". Two other 'new' version editors were also involved in spiritualism.Westcott was a Spiritualist.
Contrary to advertising claims, the new versions are more difficult to read than the KJV, according to research using the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Indicators.
It really amazes me that so many people think they know better than the KJV translators with all the hog wash about the KJV being full of errors, and the KJV should have rendered it this way instead of that way etc. Of all the omittions that are in the NIV, NASB,RSV and others, plus all the different versions which do nothing but confuse people, it puzzels me that people are so naive that they don't suspect satanic deception. You mean to tell me that God Almighty could not find men that could accurately translate his word into english? Is there anything too hard for him? He found the men to do it, and it was the 54 men who translated the KJV, but God's enemy the devil comes along with all these lies that the KJV is full of errors, and that things were added to the KJV that shouldn't be in there, and that King James was a homosexual, and all kinds of crap, and people fall for all that. Satan would love to make Jesus appear less than who he really is, and he uses these perversions of the bible that leave out important words like Christ, Lord, God, Jesus, etc.
He has so called smart people that say things like, "Oh the KJV rendered this verse wrong because it is not in the original Greek, and the KJV should say this" bla bla bla. The other translations are from other "original" manuscripts that the KJV translators wouldn't touch, but so called modern scholars, so called smart men think they know better. If certain verses in the KJV should have said differently, then it would have, and that would go for any translation, depending which one God would use to preserve his word, which I believe is the KJV.
