King James Version not that bull shit NIV.
After 1676? it was dishonestly revised but translation errors were continued to be fixed. Which is why someone else is telling you 1611, which is the last revised version which doesn't conflate Jew with Israelites.
Regardless, multiple versions are likely very useful. Including modern translations. As the are likely to have additional translation corrections.
Modern version are useful to those seeking to profit from Christianity.
“In the first century in Palestine, Christianity was a community of believers. Then Christianity moved to Greece and became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome and became an institution. Then it moved to Europe and became a culture. And then it moved to America and became a business.” Priscilla Shirer
I definately see your point. But understanding how and which translations are revised over time can also be instructive.
There's a difference in knowing and following.
There are numerous King James versions -- try to get the 1611 version, which is the first.
Both KJV and NIV are complete garbage, versions that were made by politically motivated assclowns, go with the directly translated literal version. I know something lie that exists, I found it somewhere on an imageboard.
You're looking for the Amplified Bible.
Youngs literal translation and Douay Rheims(?) are very literal. Septuagint translations are superior to any masoretic translation.
You are so right, and are wise. The KJV is the only one I ever reference.
There is a different translation coming out it seems daily, many of them designed to confuse the faithful, and we know that Satan is the author of confusion, not God (1st Corinthians 14:33)
