@eileen. I love the 1611 King James Authorized Version of God's Holy Word the Bible because it's the ONLY version that is inerrant and infallible. It's also much easier to read than the so-called modern versions of God's Holy Word the Bible.
eileendunkle • I prefer the Douay-Rheims Bible. It is a few years older than the KJV, but a lot of the KJV contains exact passages taken from the DRB. It has thee and thou, but I love it. Also the (New) and older Jerusalem Bible are very beautifully written. I have never heard a word said against any of these. Good luck.
@@lynettepalecek3141 Who told you it is inerrant and infallible? Because nothing except God alone is those 2 things. Don't get caught in that trap. As I said, my Bible is a little older than KJV, and entire passages taken from it are printed word for word in the KJV. So I guess mine is inerrant and infallible too?
I love my KJV and I will never exchange it for any version. I understand every word of God in it although english is not my native tongue. I always pray for God's Holy Spirit to guide me when reading it.
Amen, if you’ve accepted Jesus as your King and Savior, which I believe you have, then the Holy Spirit lives in you and will teach you all things concerning God,Jesus His Son and the Holy Spirit. Even if the Bible was removed from us by governments or whoever, the Holy Spirit would still teach us because we are God’s Children and He won’t leave His Children without His Word and Truth. In short, if the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit lives in you, then the Truth of God and the Word of God lives in you. When you read your Bible, you are focusing your attention on God and when that happens, God’s Holy Spirit starts bringing up from within you the Truth of God, this is also true when you pray and are focusing on God at other times as well. God can never be taken away, isn’t that awesome! Rev. Daryl Drennan
You can love your KJV, but be aware that 17th century scholarship was inaccurate in several places. That was not the translator's fault. The did the best they could with the manuscripts they had to work with. Read the New King James Version (NKJV) where the beauty of the KJV is largely retained, but the translation is accurate.
Anything in the King James that is in italics has been ADDED to the scriptures. If you add to God's Word then it no longer becomes God's Word. Just as Eve added to the Word it looses it power and authority.
The last few months I have been slowly studying and idk what happened but suddenly I have gotten kicked into overdrive. I have recently started reading more plus reading bible stories to my children. I appreciate this video because I want to teach my kids the best I can.
I am a new Christian (just over a year) and I love the in depth long videos. Really helps. The 5 min videos leaves me with more questions than answers. So thank you for the longer videos
For brevity's sake, here is the list of the five bibles in question: The Message, The Passion Bible, The Living Bible, The Good News Bible, and the Contemporary English Version.
Thank you for listing the 5 translations to avoid. What do you think about the accuracy of thought for thought versions such as NLT? Personally I think word for word is much more accurate.
@@paulajohnson6409 The NLT is a great resource and it is the Bible I often give away to new believers and teach from when talking to young people. I have never done an in-depth verse-by-verse comparison, but the people that have that I trust say that the overwhelming majority of the choices they made in translation were good. The NLT is not a word for word. It is a functional equivalent with a bias toward being much easier to read, and it might seem to cross into a paraphrase category for some people. It is not among my normal personal study translations, but I started in the KJV 40 years ago. Sometimes the language in the NLT is so new it distracts me, so I use the ESV.
@@Siaya7 So if you read in another language, you are out of luck? Also, God's promises are bigger than a single translation. He promises if we seek Him, we will find Him in Matthew 7:7-8. There are other well-known verses like Jer 33:3, Isa 55:11, John 16:13, and Rev 3:20 that make similar promises. Tell me, in the KJV, which I know pretty well, where does it say to only read the KJV? Where does it say the Holy Spirit only works if we stay with versions translated from the Textus Receptus? My God is bigger than a single translation. My God planned to have His Word translated many many times over the years into languages that spread It all over the globe (Isa 55:11). The Bible warns us against pharisaical religious requirements and burdening believers with tradition in Matthew 16:6-12 & Acts 15:5-31. In Matthew 23, Jesus warns us against religious elitism, like, "Look at me, I am better than other Christians because I read the KJV." I am not accusing you of this, but be careful. I assume since you have decided the KJV is the only Bible a person can read you might be familiar with the hymn, "Have Faith in God." Put your faith in Him, not the KJV which history tells us had some outside influences while being translated. I am not knocking the KJV, it was my translation of choice for close to three decades. God is bigger than the debate of Textus Receptus vs Critical Text, trust HIM!
I only read and study from the KJV Bible. It's what I cut my teeth on many moons ago. I have no problem reading and understanding Elizabethan English. If I do come across a word I'm not familiar with, I look it up and research it.
@Warrior. GOOD FOR YOU!! The KJV Bible is the ONLY version I rely on to tell the truth. It's the ONLY version of God's Holy Word the Bible that is inerrant and infallible.
Same here, I love my KJV and the thee's and thou's give God more authority in my opinion. Plus I also look up and research word's that I do not understand, plus the KJV was written by the best scholars at the time, some who knew multiple languages.✝❤🙏
The Anointing on the KJV can only be OF GOD! As a young believer I began with it, 20 years after I am still on it. SAME BIBLE.....TORN, WORN OUT BUT NEVER WEARS ME OUT.....I'M BLESSED BY YOUR MINISTRY EVANGELIST TIFF😊
thank you, I've recently come to the realization that I've drifted too far from a personal relationship to the Bible, and it's time to reintroduce the Bible into my day to day life. In this I want to pick a translation that's right for me, so I really appreciate the earnestness and love with which your content is made, thank you Tiff.
Why should one think that your god performed the miracle of inspiring the words of the bible if he didn’t perform the miracle of preserving the words of the bible?
Thank you so much for your ministry! I just found you a few days ago. I have watched several of you videos. I found you initially because I was doing a search trying to find out if the NIV translation that I have used, and loved for the past 33 years, was indeed an accurate, and trusted Bible. I don't understand why I am now just hearing people saying bad things about this translation. I have come to understand that possibly the ESV may be a better way to go for me with future Bible purchases. I really enjoy a very accurate, but also understandable Bible. I like to write in my Bible when I feel the Lord is speaking to me, or during a Bible study and I learn something profound, or get reminded of it, etc. Anyway, thank you again for all that you do!
Thank you for this sermon. I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. I know from personal experience that the study of the King James Version of the Bible brings conviction of sin. It happened to me.
So you should be convicted of your sin, that’s what we read the Bible for. We need to see the truth and know that we cannot live anyway that we want, and serve God too.
@vonhalberstadt3590 what a dishonest question, that reveals your heart. We have the very word in the king James Bible that they had.God promised to preserve them. We have them in English today in THE KING JAMES BIBLE. ALL AUTHORITY WORD OF GOD
@johnmabbett6586 Really? I'll give you a sample. NASB1995 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. The word of God says it differently (Matthew 5:22 KJB But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Notice nasb omitted without a cause. The nasb makes Jesus a sinner by omitting without a cause. Why ? Because Jesus was angry when he drove out the money changers. I could give you many many examples of errors in the nasb. Do you want to compare it with God's word?
I enjoy the (Authorized) KJV because it is easier for me to memorize chapters of PSALMS and verses from both the OT and NT. I have a "toolbox" of around 100 or so scriptures in my head that are used on a regular basis. The Amplified , NKJV, NIV, ESV, and the NET are useful references. I find that cross referencing with these versions are more helpful for learning scripture explanation than commentaries.
I have used a KJV for as long as I can remember and would not trade it for anything because of the personal notes I have written in it, but I will say that I do use a Septuagint now when studying the Old Testament. My question is why do all of the western Bibles only use the Masoretic Text and not the Septuagint? When it comes to the Deity of Christ the MT has some issues that are mostly ignored by the American Church. Thanks, and God Bless John 3:30
I only read and study the Authorized King James Bible. I consider it the authority on ALL matters, and respect no other translations. Modern perversions have changed, added and deleted entire words and verses. Rev 22 says anyone who does this will have their names removed from the Book of Life, not the tree of life. I believe having all these Bible perversions allows people to search until they find one that says what they want it to say. I don’t like that at all. How can we all be on the same page, if we’re not even on the same book?
I have a NIV from 1980 and ine i purchased a year ago and there have been some changes in the words. I prefer the older one but it's falling apart which is why I bought the new one. Never would have imagined it would have changed
Finding this channel was not an accident! I have been guilty of watching TV for hours and then wondering why I am spiritually dry! You think I know better..God is truly a loving father who saw what was going on in my life and us correcting it. God bless you!
Pastor respectfully the New King James Version leaves out Scripture. NKJV is NOT Accurate. NLT is also, a Bible that leaves out Scripture. The NIV leaves OUT 6,000 Scripture Verses. The only Bible that is accurate is the King James Version. It is the Only Bible from the Correct Source. It has power, hidden words spoken by the Holy Spirit and though people think it's too hard to read it is written at 5-6th grade level. People need to know the Bible is HOLY. Read KJV.
@@MomentsDivine It is the Bible. It is written in the King’s language. It is the inspired Word of God. You can hear a verse and you have practically memorized it. When it was more exclusively used, it was as if we all spoke the same language. It doesn’t fall flat. It and it alone produces faith, thus the reason for some people’s shallowness in their rejection if It.
I grew up with the King James Version. When I was a kid at Bible camp, I remember a counselor saying, "Don't let a few 'thee's and thou's keep you out of heaven."
, "Don't let a few 'thee's and thou's keep you out of heaven." The ESV and NIV identify Jesus as God in Romans 9:5 where as the KJV doesn't. To name a few
@@PlaidRicky1611 this ia a foot note off The Net Bible Translators notes in regard to Phil 2:6 '' The Greek term translated form indicates a correspondence with reality. Thus the meaning of this phrase is that Christ was truly God.'' So, KJV or any other version say the same thing, its just worded slightly different. The word ''robbery '' in greek is ἁρπαγμός (harpagmos) 'something to grasp' (G0725). I believe the NIV translates it best (NIV) who, being in very nature ▼God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;. And verse 7 drives it home
@againstthepope2362 You can't leave out God's Holy name in Philippians 2:6. When you do that, then you're corrupting God's Holy Word the Bible! Shame on you for doing that!! "Correspondence with reality" is definitely NOT the same thing as "God!" Btw, you're wrong about Romans 9:5. The KJV does make it clear that Christ is God. You're just too stupid to understand how to read that version of the Holy Bible.
KJV Only for me thank you very much :) The Ye's, Thou's, Thines are very important and they are not hard to understand. They give the proper context to the verses and tell you exactly who God is speaking to. I understand the scriptures by the Holy Spirit, not by my own understanding.
Idk why you think they're important, lol. But I love the KJV too, & as a teenager with no knowledge of the Bible at all I had no problem understanding what I needed to. As I grew I learned how to look things up & my mom got me a Strongs Exhaustive Concordance, & I've loved it. You can't learn the original language meanings from other versions. I think that alone sets the KJV above the rest.
1Cor.2 [13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. - The scriputures themselves are spiritual and the Holy Ghost can teach you thru them.
May this message richly bless you and yours as it has bless me. Many profess believers of Jesus Christ believe that the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath holy was nailed to the cross and that we no longer have to keep it, while still embracing the other nine commands. Do you believe this? Ask yourself this question: which one or ones of the following Ten Commandments do Jesus wants us to keep and obey? 1. Thou shalt not have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make or bow down to gpl raven image. 3. Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 5. Honor thy father and thy mother. 6. Thou shalt not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness. 10. Thou shalt not covet. Answer_________________ The Sabbath command is not only to be kept but it is to be calculated by the Time/calendar God ordained in the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:14. The sun, moon and stars are God’s True Time/calendar not that famous Gregorian calendar hanging on our walls in our houses. The Sabbath is calculated by the sun, moon and stars. This split in God’s law must be repaired!! All of God’s laws, statutes, judgments and testimonies are just and true! We must do things God’s way or else we will be worshipping him in vain. There will be no good reward. God may allow the people that rules this world to enforce some type of Sabbath law to test people to see if they will keep His law or no. Already, there are Sabbath laws/blue laws/Sunday laws on government books today. Friday is not the true Sabbath. Saturday is not the true Sabbath. Sunday is not the true Sabbath, etc., because they are calculated by man’s time/calendars. This information is helpful both now and future, to get back to God’s ways and be able to choose wisely if such a “Sabbath Test” is enforced. Let us read our Bibles, seriously repent of our evil ways, stop worshiping other gods, talking about one another, stealing, killing, lying, fornicating, adultery, disobedient to parents, etc., etc., etc. Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. This Babylonian system is falling, the Powers in charge are aware of this fact but they cannot stop it. Their time is coming to an end! Our time is coming to an end! If any worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, the same shall have no rest day or night and they shall be burnt with fire and brimstone. Revelation 13 and 14. Deuteronomy 5 Isaiah 58:12-14. Also, research the “Seven Noahide Laws.” I have heard that these are Jewish laws taken from their book, “Talmud.” The first law forbids idolatry and according to Jewish writings, to believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. I have also heard that some of the USA presidents have signed this law under “Proclamation 5956-. Education Day, U.S.A, 1989 and 1990” and, word is that, it is planned to be unleashed on all nations in the future. So, Research and see if these things be truth. May The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Take as long as you need to explain the Bible I want to understand and some parts i dont so thank you for caring enough to take the time to explain it God bless you
AMEN!!! I'll take listening to the Holy Spirit over the so called experts. God said we would have delusion and great deception in the last days, not the new improved.
@cristojoubert5385 you have 3 fingers pointing back at you. To make an uninformed statement , like you did is humorous. You ha e elevated a man's document over the Word and do not even realize it. Think about it.
@@asmartbajan Quick response. Please read Romans8:1 online in the NKJV, KJV and the NIV. I believe the most critical part of the verse is left out - who live not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit... Brotherly greetings
@@natalamakhuva5878 To me, the more critical part of the verse is "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus." The second part is implied by that first. Isn't it?
I'm sticking with the King James version Bible.. Shepherd chapel read it verse by verse.. and documents everything, I've learned so much I love the King James Bible Amen
No Christianity is a message sent by Christ of doing faithfulness’s obedience to Christ Jesus in His church not this guys or any church other than that built on this the same rock as Peter, the Catholic Church, being fathered from above. This guy claims he knows how God is about His message but then reviles it and rebels against God.
@@rinkevichjm You have thay wrong. You don`t have to belong to a church to be a Christian! The teaching of the Gospel is the message, and when answered to, a relationship is deveoped with the Saviour and we become patterned after him . Christ`s church is made up of Christians who have a link with each other in their belief in Christ. "Where two or three are gathered unto my name , There am I in the midst" Is the principle on which the Church is formed. Nowhere in scripture does it speak about establishing a hierarchical system like the Roman Catholic Church!
@@elvindaryl1 Jesus said you have to obey what His Church says, and He told Paul He is the Catholic Church. Do as Paul did: actually follow the Bible and not reject it! And you can’t abide in Christ unless you’re in Him who is the Catholic Church. Get in Jesus in the Catholic Church.
Ps S ,i dont find the ministry of critique in any translation and still you exell in it! It takes between 10 and 20 years to finalize a translation of the bible, i font belueve the translaters make any profits
I noticed you never mentioned AMPC(Amplified classic) Or the 1599 Geneva. I use both and love them. Why would you put NIV before the AMPC when the NIV has removed scripture verses out of it?
The Geneva Bible is the most accurate and it is a great study Bible..it was translated by my Great Uncle William Tyndale..I ONLY read the Geneva Bible…KJV is completely incorrect..if you go back to who King James was it would self explanatory….
The NIV didn't actually remove anything. It's based on Greek manuscripts that the KJV translators didn't have access to. In 1611 the oldest mss they had access to were from around 800AD and today we have some mss that are from around 100-150AD. And we found that scribes copying the mss sometimes *added* text which ended up in bible translations. The NIV used older mss and didn't include the verses that were not original like the KJV translators unknowingly did.
I'm 69 years old and I was diagnosed only this year as being seriously autistic. I always knew I was different, and my parents also knew because our family doctor wanted to get me tested as a small child, but my abusive father wouldn't go for that, instead preferring to beat it out of me with full-on assault and battery level beatings on a weekly basis for the slightest little things I may have done. But that's not why I'm writing this. By age 17, in my final year of high school, I was a dropout, just waiting for the school year to finish so I could say to a prospective employer that I'd finished year 12. My once voracious childhood reading habit was completely spent, and I had developed a real disdain for reading pretty much anything. I gave my life to Christ midway through my final year and didn't read my Bible at all. The only translation I owned was the KJV, and it went completely over my head! Somehow I'd slipped through the cracks when I became a Christian during the 1971 Easter camp that the Baptist Church used to run for teenagers. Somehow I missed out on the counselling that new Christians usually get. I was left to kinda figure it all out on my own. Of course I had no idea that it was my autism that was wreaking havoc with my understanding. Anyhow the popular Bible version around in 1971 was The Living Bible, a paraphrase and not an actual translation. I found it easy to understand back then. I was encouraged to get The Good News Bible, which is an actual translation which brings the ancient languages into today's spoken English. That version has been howled down by the purists, but when I drove trucks for 15 years, I used to read from the GNT's New Testament. while I ate my lunch each day while parked under any shade I could find. It was during that time of my life that I became our home group pastor/teacher. The others in our home group which met in our home used to pay out on me for using the Good News translation, but when someone read something from the NIV or NASB, I could quote them word for word what the GNT said. These days I use the NIV for all online Bible study purposes. I find it easy to understand as a whole, and I find it actually more coherent than the GNT, which has been modified seriously over the 50 years since I first got my copy. I truly believe that The Holy Spirit has indeed spoken to me through every translation I've read.
The KJV is it. It is the translation I consider accurate on Luke 2:33 and 1 John 5:7, among other verses that establish/uphold the virgin birth and Godhead.
You are a very good teacher you explain so well it helps me because I have trouble understanding the bible your teaching is so easy to understand I am enjoying listening to you speak thank you tiff ...😊
Good message and information as I wondered what Bibles were the best. I became a Believer in 1973 and yes I had a Living Bible but the Lord guided me to other ones as I grew spiritually which was a good thing but for along time I had no one living in my life, family, close friend or neighbour to talk about scriptures only a mentor across the other side of Canada which we had no internet at that time so seldom communicated but I thank God we have faithfully been able to since our iPads and she is in her nineties. God kept me faithful for 50 years next month, through thick and thin, divorce, financial hardships, a son presently with cancer, waiting for prayers to be answered for a saved family but in Gods time. I thank all the American ministries who has helped me over the years as I have had good ones, Billy Graham, Charles Stanley, Christ in Prophecy and more as well as yours the last two years also a trip to Israel where I got baptized after waiting 38 years. We all have a testimony and story but it is not I but the Lord who has brought me this far, waiting for family to be saved and the Lords coming. Blessings and thank you.
Thank you for that valuable information. My first special big Bible was the NIV and I believe that was in the early 80s and it has had to be replaced once or twice but the last NIV I bought was a very large print study Bible, with lots of pictures but I really don’t care for the wording at all so I dug around in my Bible collection and lo and behold found two Charles Stanley NASB bibles. The older one is life application and the newer one is the Life Principles bible. I like the older one The best.
We in the west, especially the Anglosphere, make an odd assumption about translation. We seem to think word for word accuracy equates to accuracy of meaning. No one who's fluent in more than one language believes this.
Anything that uses the Latin Vulgate(early 5th Century) is off to a good start. I understand that St. Jerome had access to many older sources that have since been lost
I was raised on kjv and all thru college, I read this version til it fell apart. Love it so much, and still use this version today! I have a great affection for my Bible and love having it near me!❤
Earlier this week I received my newest purchase from the KJV store. A 1611 KING JAMES BIBLE. Same size and everything. Weighs over thirty pounds. Some of the cars I've owned didn't cost as much as this book. I couldn't care less what any detractor thinks of that.
I came to Christ on my NIV study Bible with Hebrew and Greek translations. It helped me understand more clearly. I’m tired of hearing that KJV is the only way to read God’s Word.
NIV is missing no verses at all. However if you compare it to the King James and the Translations based on King James it does not include everything that the KJV has. But the King James is not the original Bible in the least. The NIV went past KJV and straight to the source. You see, you got it backwards. King James has added verses. Look up "niv missing verses" and read for your self how over 100 Biblical scholars went straight to the source and translated the Bible into modern day English. A good in-between NIV and KJV is the ESV which also went straight to the source and sure enough happens to be "missing" the exact same verses.
@@gtrmusic69 NIV has many missing verses, the context is a bit distorted also, some verses also says very different compared to the original scripture. NIV is one of the false bible out there
Just what I was sharing. I think also - repentance is missing. Either way, I read the King James and occasionally New King James. The passage which talks about casting down imaginations in the KJV, states 'casting down arguments' in the NKJ.
I love the KJV more than other version but your right about the NKJV nlt nasb net ESV and the niv they are my favorite but I like to read them side by side because the KJV is the only one I like more than others version ❤❤
Dear Sir: when studying Ezekiel 36-39, I cant help but see the beginning and the end of the tribulation period, Ezekiel as an older prophet could only see the two peaks of each, like two mountains, he not being able to see the middle parts, the valley of those two mountains , seems this war of Ezekiel is not a war of its own rather the period of Jacob's trouble , to me this simplifies how I view the sections of prophecy and now makes a lot more sense, Also people are trying to say that America is Babylon but they seem to forget verse 18 in Rev. 17 where God states who that city is, in other words, Babylon Means Babylon, where it all started it will all end, The bookends of History
I will continue to use my New King James Version. I also use other Bible translations, concordances, and commentaries in my studies. There are words used in the KJV that have different meanings today (like the word "replenish" in Gen. 1:28), so even the KJV isn't perfect. Not realizing the change in meanings can cause confusion, and cause people to believe there are contradictions. When it comes to being error free, that would be the original scriptures that our Bibles have been translated from.
See also Esther 7:5 "presume in his heart" = to make full (replenish)👍👍For more on this topic, No King But Caesar & The Return Of The Melchisedec is available online at Advantage Books. Peace to all.
You should order the book by Laurance Vance on the so-called archaic words. It's very educational. Also, I thought of this a few days ago. Do you say rejoice? or do you say 'joice'? Just an example.
One of the oldest texts predates the KJV by over 800 years and forms the heart of the Ethiopian bibles with 84 books, yet the Romans and now the 'West' dismisses these versions.
There are what we call archaic words in pretty much every bible. The NKJ isn't very good. See David Daniels video on the NKJV and you will understand. As for the word replanish, we also use the word rejoice. Just something to think about. As for archaic words, there is a great book on the subject by Laurance Vance, vance publications. It will help understand a whole lot of words in the Bible and make you smarter than the average bear.
Pastor, I do not understand how the NIV is on your list as an accurate Bible. You just finished quoting Rev 22:18-19 about adding and removing the words of the Bible is a curse but it is said the NIV omits many scriptures in it's translation. Is this not true? Please advise. In the NIV look up these verses; John 5:4, Mathew 23:14, Mathew 17:21, Mathew 18:11, Mark 7:16, Mark 9:44, Mark 9:46, Mark 11:26, Mark 15:28, Luke 17:36, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, Acts 15:34, Acts 24:7, Acts 28:29, Romans 16:24.
Verses may not be in a translation because they don't exist in a majority of manuscripts or are heavily contested as being original. You will likely find references in the footnotes and comments. The warning is to not ADD to scripture or REMOVE. So how do you know if one of those verses was added to one translation, or removed from another? You have to survey all the available ancient manuscripts and use proper historical and textual critical sciences to determine the likelihood that some verse is really original. And scholars know how to do that. This is usually only a point KJV-onlyist types bring up because they consider KJV the most high standard and all differences that other translations have are "additions" or "removals" FROM the KJV, as if KJV were somehow the actual standard, which it isn't. Why is a verse "missing" from another translation? Rather than ADDED to KJV? We only know that by the textual sciences and historical research of manuscripts. That's how. KJV has stuff that is likely added. Most translations have footnotes and commentary about contested text. There is no conspiracy, there is just choices made by translators and historians about the validity of a handful of texts. It's a small number and not all that significant in the grand scheme of doctrines.
Recently I have come to understand how lucky I’ve been. My uncle put notes in my New American Standard in the places he and his colleagues believed to be less then correct. He translated both first century Hebrew and Greek. Uncle Robert also gently taught me from his Hebrew and Greek books until I was twelve. Even then I knew what a gift that was.
@edwardpearce9668 Don't feel bad for you choice of words, everybody could understand what you meant. By the way, "unfortunate" would be as wrong as "lucky" according to @fredthe47th 's. narrow criteria. This reminds me of 1st Timothy 6:4. "He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings". God bless 🙂
Luck is superstition which is sorcery which is witchcraft that is evil and if Satan God is Sovereign - there is NO luck in Him He is the truth - it’s who He IS 💖👑
@@fredthe47thUsing the word "lucky" does not always imply paganism. As I've gotten older, I've seen God's providence in what appears to be good luck. It is often unwise to jump to conclusions.
While I would not use The Message as my primary Bible or for serious study, I do find it useful for giving a different perspective that can challenge one to think deeper about some passages. The author did not intend it to replace any translation. But occasionally he hits the nail on the head. As one example, he renders Psalm 46:10 as “Stop! Get out of the traffic. Take a long living look at me, your high God - above politics, above everything.” Just as some preachers who use the more formal equivalent translations may look at a dynamic translation to help clarify a difficult passage, I have looked at the Message to get m mind out of a rut in which it is stuck. In the same way, while I generally use a dynamic equivalent, like the NIV and NLT, when I come to a passage that is not clear I might turn to a formal equivalent, like the NKJV, for clarification. I have most of your top ten on my Kindle.
I became a Jehovah's Witness at 15, left after 2 years. I understand why people would call it a cult but I actually felt like it was LESS of a cult than the family/society I grew up in. And not that different from any other Christians. I ditched the magazines and door knocking. Tried to use a Yahweh and not Jehovah. I left because I grew a beard and started leaning Hebrew. And I didn't wanna wear a tie anymore. I also noticed they quote Paul more than Jesus. Now im my 40s, I'm a total atheist but I still try to set the record straight regarding them. There are plenty of reasons to criticize them. Not enough people know what those reasons are. TOO MANY people would just say "Maybe in yerrrrr bible!", even though that particular passage is virtually identical to what their precious King Jimmy says.
As a JW I wouldn’t say we quote Paul more. I think Paul’s ministry as to starting the Christian congregation/activities. We fully believe that Jesus is the founder and the only way to the Father -Jehovah. Also the Tetragrammaton is Gods name in all scripture. Jehovah is found in many different Bibles. It is the Tetragrammaton articulated.
Thank you for sharing. This took time and dedication to produce and post. I used to read the KJV from youth. Nowadays I am inclined to read NKJV. It is a lot easier to read. I studied a lot English Literature so reading the older versions isnt too hard, but it does slow me down. I recently purchased a NLT Bible and I'm interested in reading it. I like reading the Bible as a whole. It is important to me to fully understand the bigger picture. I also study individual verses, but there is a hazard to take it out of context. I prefer to read surrounding text to have a clue about what was going on when the verse was said.
I’m not native english speaking person, but I like KJV bible. God led me into it in the beginning and I read it with finnish bible 1933/38, old testament /new testament version.
Did you say that they removed Jesus Christ from John 14:26 with the Holy spirit (or comforter)? I checked it with a printed version of the KJV and The NKJV and they both say, "_But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."_ Also the PDF version!
Good morning Jonathon. You said; "Have you tried any Bible study courses?" The *BEST* Bible study course is _reading_ the Bible. Which is exactly what ChaplainK is doing. "Bible study courses" are denominational. And prove the old axiom *You can make the Bible say anything if you TORTURE it long enough" ______________________ You said; "want to know what day is the real Sabbath" The best way to find the answer to that question is to put away your Bible Study Courses. And start at Genesis 1.1 and read until you reach Rev 22.21. ______________________ If you do that, you will get your EXACT answer. And I know what it will be. "has it been changed by God?" You will get an extremely clear answer to that, as well. ___________________________ The Bible, itself, is the answer to all your questions. Not Bible Study Courses or Bible Study Guides.
Well I read over 45 different translations of God's Holy words & in my humble opinion I found many of them very good & some not so good but over all if a Christian can learn & gain knowlege it well worth time.
I grew up on The King James Version and I Love it!!! I would like to know your thoughts on The Amplified Bible, since it wasn’t mentioned in these studies. Also I’m new to your page and The Holy Spirit lead me here because I recently purchased an Amplified Bible by a televangelist with commentary and notes.
The HalleluYah Scriptures is the best version of the Father’s Word-the most accurate-and restores the Names of YHWH and Yahshua back to where they belong-nearly 7000 times! The Father put His Name in His Word thousands of times, but you will not find His Name in modern translations. It is such a blessing to have a version that has honored, obeyed, revered and esteemed our Heavenly Father by putting His Name back in His Own Word-where He originally put it! HalleluYHWH! This is HIS End-Times Restoration, just as He promised! “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to know My Hand and My Might. And they shall know My Name is YHWH!” Jeremiah/YirmeYahu 16:21 🙏🏻
Personally and through studying the Bible through the various translations, i disagree with your choices. Firstly the KJV did not have a small amount of manuscripts they had enough to put together the entire Bible and with the most accurate transliteration possible. Your choices of those other Bibles are from the Westcott and Hort influence which is not an accurate translation because it comes from different manuscripts. You need to watch Chuck Missler's videos about the Bible translations. look for ** only one Bible to trust **. Should reveal a thing or two.
Teams of scholars to "interpret" inspired scripture written by "teams of scholars" like, well, you know, that team that "worked" under Moses for his books. I pray for you, through the intercession of St. Jerome, that you may have the veil covering your eyes lifted. Vivat Cristo Ray!!! 💜✝️👑🔥🇻🇦
My wife and I are about 2/3 of the way through father Mike Schmitz' Bible in a Year course, which uses the Revised Standard Second Catholic edition, so following him, I recommended that
I use the KJV as a standard on which different denominations can come together on, plus the use of language is very poetic and beautifully written. When I study the Old Testament, I use KJV and JPS (Jewish Publication.) I’m a Christian studying the Hebrew versions of the Old Testament called the Tanach. When I read the New Testament and use the KJV with supplementary secondary source content.
Same here, I went so far as to get 3- 1917 OJPS The Holy Scriptures from ebay. One was 66 years old "brand new" from 1957. Had it redone in leather calfskin. Good stuff.
I would like to know what other criteria you went by to qualify accurate translations. I understand why you don't recommend the ones you Dont consider good translations.
Give us a list of the translations you have read thru for yourself and don't list only what you have "heard" about a translation and the ones you do not understand............
@@kdeh21803I grew up reading the JKV in church, but they mysteriously switched over to the Never Inspired Version. The Dying Bible, the Message, NKJV, Amplified, NASB, and the others you mentioned were included in multi Bible books. I heard enough about the CEV and CSB, to pass on them. I understand the ESB has critical passages from the Dead Sea Scrolls. What I’ve touched upon the the Jerusalem Bible looked good, but I wanted something that was available to the masses. Although I was confirmed, it didn’t prepare me for the outside world. I experimented, and although I thought it was a joke, I went to a Kingdom Hall with a co-worker. I didn’t know how bad I was hooked, until another friend took two hours to deprogram me. He asked me, “Who’s speaking at Acts 13:2?” I had to be true to myself and others and answer, the Holy Spirit. That’s when I saw, that the NWT was a malevolent comic book, and that the Holy Spirit was not a force or floating brain. I’m King James all the way.
I was interviewed for television once, about thirty years ago, and was asked about translations. I said that many of them were fraudulent for profit. The director chopped my comment out of the program. I am so glad to find you a kindred spirit, with the courage to say what I tried to say then. Thank you for your knowledgable, honest and passionate defense of the authentic text which is our heritage from the Holy Spirit. May God reward you now and forever.
This may sound a tad odd to the uninformed, but Christians need to be more shrewd. Had you said that many of the translations were _less than accurate_ instead of fraudulent, the director probably wouldn't have chopped your comment. Of course, "less than accurate" would've been less accurate than "fraudulent" but it would've achieved the purpose. 😉
I would appreciate if u just mention immediately what biblical translation versions u would Not recommend for us 2 read instead of spending a lot of your time in discussing other insignificant issues 2 avoid wastage of your viewers' time in listening n watching u.Tnx.
So Christians say the Bible is the Word of God ? God has left a book for the salvation of souls yet the Bible can be falsified. Did an all knowing God not know that the book would be changed. The Jews changed the Old Testament on a few occasions They removed MacCabees and other books and Luther followed. Today the Jews are happy to talk of MacCabees.
In my prayer and reading, I use the NKJV and I am quite comfortable with it, but recently I have been listening to an audio bible on youtube while on walks or driving etc. When I saw your video I looked up the version that I have been listening to and sure enough it is the Contemporary English Audio Bible, and that was No 5 on your list. Thank you for setting me straight.
That's not just Tiff who set you straight, it was the Holy Spirit within you who lead you to him. As it says in scripture, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." (John 14:26). He's called the "Spirit of Truth" for a reason. He will never allow you to continue listening to, believing, or practicing a lie.
Tiff Shuttlesworth, a typical US Bible scholar. He cites the King James Bible as accurate, yet one of its most important sacraments is based on a mistranslation. The Old Testament or Torah of Judaism Hebrew had two words for a young girl, one meaning a literal virgin and the one that is used meaning just a young girl. The prediction of the Messiah's birth is in the Book of Isaiah. Unfortunately the Greek of the New Testament does not have a word just for young girl, only virgin, so that is the word used in the story of Jesus's birth, and from that one word mistranslation came the Church's construction of the Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven, Immaculate Conception. The King James Bible - beautiful English but full of superstition, error and bad history.
I'm Jerusalem Bible Study Edition. Accurate,, up to date with scholarship and the notes are superb for a single volume, giving even where the different sources of the Pentateuch begin and end for example.
The Jerusalem Bible is a Catholic bible. There are reasons not to trust the choices of the Vatican since its inception, especially since that religion puts itself ABOVE the Word of God and disobeys it blatantly.
Thank you, Reverend Shuttlesworth, for this valuable information. A little omission or twist and people can miss the mark. A pilot once said deviating from the route by 5 degree can mean about 150 miles away from destination.
I'm 76 years old now and I've been a Christian for 53 years, and during that time I've owned several different Bible translations, but I always go back to the King James Version. Once in awhile I'll look up verses in the NASB version to compare what it says with what the King James Version says, but I hardly ever do that any more. I just stick with the King James Version.
I'm 74 , and I'm glad about the better translations,. When I was 22years old , Exodus 20:13 mislead me when I was in the Army, and Luke 14: 26 was a bad translation that God got me threw, and finally a new translation got it right, The Passion new testament.😊
if you mean that the passion translation got you through your hard times and you are being truthful, im sorry but it is inaccurate very much so and the creator has no knowledge of hebrew, greek, or aramaic and he redirects it towards himself most of the time@@chadboxford3589
What are your thoughts on the Protestants who chose to remove seven books from the Old Testament in the sixteenth century? Would they be covered by those verses in Rev 22? For 30+ years I used to think Catholics had ADDED them but after a bit of actual historical study I realised that it was the Protestant reformers who actually REMOVED them….
Thank you for life-giving information. I find that the King James Bible makes memorizing Scripture easier than others. And many, many Scriptures in song from the KJV have become a valuable part of my praising, thanking and worshipping God in my daily devotions. And it is important to ask God for wisdom and understanding when reading God's Word. I find Him faithful to His promise that His Holy Spirit will help me in this way as i commit myself to continue studying and not giving up - and He does. There are Godly teachers who have helped me grow in faith, love and patient endurance as well. All thanks, praise, glory and honor be to God in Jesus' Name. Thank you, again.
I am thankful for the KJV and nkjv. They are my favorite. But I also use the Strong's Concordance Hebrew and Greek. I have trouble with the NIV and ESV. They are so totally different. When you study 2 Tim 1:7 sound mind fits . It is in the kjv and nkjv but it says self control on the others. In the Strong's it is sound mind. Also in other verses it is totally different. I am thankful I have the Holy Spirit to help me
@dora_the_explorer975 thank you I have been with the kjv and nkjv since 1988. I rely on the Precious Holy Spirit. Irseems like Satan is trying to use all the different Bibles to divide us.

THANK YOU for the list
I always heard that the NIV is not a good translation.
@@debbie94510 I am not a fan of the NIV. It is inconsistent with certain Greek terms. Not the worst one ever, but I cannot recommend it.
Thanks for saving me nearly half an hour! 🙂
Brilliant thank you
I love the King James Version. I love the “ thee, thou, thy , thine”. etc, These words are not commonly used in everyday language. I love that !
@eileen. I love the 1611 King James Authorized Version of God's Holy Word the Bible because it's the ONLY version that is inerrant and infallible. It's also much easier to read than the so-called modern versions of God's Holy Word the Bible.
Amen from taiwan 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
eileendunkle • I prefer the Douay-Rheims Bible. It is a few years older than the KJV, but a lot of the KJV contains exact passages taken from the DRB. It has thee and thou, but I love it. Also the (New) and older Jerusalem Bible are very beautifully written. I have never heard a word said against any of these.
Good luck.
@@lynettepalecek3141 Who told you it is inerrant and infallible? Because nothing except God alone is those 2 things. Don't get caught in that trap.
As I said, my Bible is a little older than KJV, and entire passages taken from it are printed word for word in the KJV.
So I guess mine is inerrant and infallible too?
I find KJV scripture much easier to memorize. Also, I hear God's 'tone' when I read it. I have the L B Paraphrased, and use it like a commentary
I love my KJV and I will never exchange it for any version. I understand every word of God in it although english is not my native tongue. I always pray for God's Holy Spirit to guide me when reading it.
Amen, if you’ve accepted Jesus as your King and Savior, which I believe you have, then the Holy Spirit lives in you and will teach you all things concerning God,Jesus His Son and the Holy Spirit. Even if the Bible was removed from us by governments or whoever, the Holy Spirit would still teach us because we are God’s Children and He won’t leave His Children without His Word and Truth. In short, if the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit lives in you, then the Truth of God and the Word of God lives in you. When you read your Bible, you are focusing your attention on God and when that happens, God’s Holy Spirit starts bringing up from within you the Truth of God, this is also true when you pray and are focusing on God at other times as well. God can never be taken away, isn’t that awesome! Rev. Daryl Drennan
@@daryldrennan Amen! The Holy Spirit is our Comforter.
You can love your KJV, but be aware that 17th century scholarship was inaccurate in several places. That was not the translator's fault. The did the best they could with the manuscripts they had to work with. Read the New King James Version (NKJV) where the beauty of the KJV is largely retained, but the translation is accurate.
Diabolical Doctrine: The King James Version Is the Perfect Word of God
Anything in the King James that is in italics has been ADDED to the scriptures. If you add to God's Word then it no longer becomes God's Word. Just as Eve added to the Word it looses it power and authority.
The last few months I have been slowly studying and idk what happened but suddenly I have gotten kicked into overdrive. I have recently started reading more plus reading bible stories to my children. I appreciate this video because I want to teach my kids the best I can.
I am a new Christian (just over a year) and I love the in depth long videos. Really helps. The 5 min videos leaves me with more questions than answers. So thank you for the longer videos
For brevity's sake, here is the list of the five bibles in question: The Message, The Passion Bible, The Living Bible, The Good News Bible, and the Contemporary English Version.
Thank you
Thank you for listing the 5 translations to avoid. What do you think about the accuracy of thought for thought versions such as NLT? Personally I think word for word is much more accurate.
@@paulajohnson6409 The NLT is a great resource and it is the Bible I often give away to new believers and teach from when talking to young people. I have never done an in-depth verse-by-verse comparison, but the people that have that I trust say that the overwhelming majority of the choices they made in translation were good. The NLT is not a word for word. It is a functional equivalent with a bias toward being much easier to read, and it might seem to cross into a paraphrase category for some people. It is not among my normal personal study translations, but I started in the KJV 40 years ago. Sometimes the language in the NLT is so new it distracts me, so I use the ESV.
Don’t forget NIV, ESV. NLT, NKJV, there is only ONE BIBLE to read. The King James Bible
@@Siaya7 So if you read in another language, you are out of luck? Also, God's promises are bigger than a single translation. He promises if we seek Him, we will find Him in Matthew 7:7-8. There are other well-known verses like Jer 33:3, Isa 55:11, John 16:13, and Rev 3:20 that make similar promises. Tell me, in the KJV, which I know pretty well, where does it say to only read the KJV? Where does it say the Holy Spirit only works if we stay with versions translated from the Textus Receptus? My God is bigger than a single translation. My God planned to have His Word translated many many times over the years into languages that spread It all over the globe (Isa 55:11). The Bible warns us against pharisaical religious requirements and burdening believers with tradition in Matthew 16:6-12 & Acts 15:5-31. In Matthew 23, Jesus warns us against religious elitism, like, "Look at me, I am better than other Christians because I read the KJV." I am not accusing you of this, but be careful. I assume since you have decided the KJV is the only Bible a person can read you might be familiar with the hymn, "Have Faith in God." Put your faith in Him, not the KJV which history tells us had some outside influences while being translated. I am not knocking the KJV, it was my translation of choice for close to three decades. God is bigger than the debate of Textus Receptus vs Critical Text, trust HIM!
I'm always looking forward to hearing and watching your teachings of the word of God 😊🙏
You will absolutely love my videos on prophet Bradley U-tube
I only read and study from the KJV Bible. It's what I cut my teeth on many moons ago. I have no problem reading and understanding Elizabethan English. If I do come across a word I'm not familiar with, I look it up and research it.
Amen!
@Warrior. GOOD FOR YOU!! The KJV Bible is the ONLY version I rely on to tell the truth. It's the ONLY version of God's Holy Word the Bible that is inerrant and infallible.
Me too! It gives you alot of indepthness too when studing. When you are looking up words. I love it!! 🙌🏻
Same here, I love my KJV and the thee's and thou's give God more authority in my opinion. Plus I also look up and research word's that I do not understand, plus the KJV was written by the best scholars at the time, some who knew multiple languages.✝❤🙏
The Anointing on the KJV can only be OF GOD! As a young believer I began with it, 20 years after I am still on it. SAME BIBLE.....TORN, WORN OUT BUT NEVER WEARS ME OUT.....I'M BLESSED BY YOUR MINISTRY EVANGELIST TIFF😊
thank you, I've recently come to the realization that I've drifted too far from a personal relationship to the Bible, and it's time to reintroduce the Bible into my day to day life. In this I want to pick a translation that's right for me, so I really appreciate the earnestness and love with which your content is made, thank you Tiff.
When translations leave out the Blood, I reject them.
Exactly right.. and that includes preachers.
Bro. Tiff, I’m gleaning from EVERY word. Hallelujah!
Amen! I LOVE LOVE the longer videos. Get so much more from it. And love the great details you give. 🎉❤
Why should one think that your god performed the miracle of inspiring the words of the bible if he didn’t perform the miracle of preserving the words of the bible?
Thank you Tiff..You are always a wealth of knowledge and teaching✝️
Thank you so much for your ministry! I just found you a few days ago. I have watched several of you videos. I found you initially because I was doing a search trying to find out if the NIV translation that I have used, and loved for the past 33 years, was indeed an accurate, and trusted Bible. I don't understand why I am now just hearing people saying bad things about this translation. I have come to understand that possibly the ESV may be a better way to go for me with future Bible purchases. I really enjoy a very accurate, but also understandable Bible. I like to write in my Bible when I feel the Lord is speaking to me, or during a Bible study and I learn something profound, or get reminded of it, etc. Anyway, thank you again for all that you do!
Thank you for this sermon. I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. I know from personal experience that the study of the King James Version of the Bible brings conviction of sin. It happened to me.
So you should be convicted of your sin, that’s what we read the Bible for. We need to see the truth and know that we cannot live anyway that we want, and serve God too.
The Holy Spirit is the one who convicted!
Sorry sir. Revelation 22 : 18 and 19 refers only to Revelation. THIS BOOK. Not THE BOOK.
I LOVE KING JAMES VERSION!!!!
What did the Apostles think of it?
@vonhalberstadt3590 what a dishonest question, that reveals your heart. We have the very word in the king James Bible that they had.God promised to preserve them. We have them in English today in THE KING JAMES BIBLE. ALL AUTHORITY WORD OF GOD
@robcrobert the NASB is more accurate.
@johnmabbett6586 Really? I'll give you a sample. NASB1995
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.
The word of God says it differently
(Matthew 5:22 KJB
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Notice nasb omitted without a cause. The nasb makes Jesus a sinner by omitting without a cause. Why ? Because Jesus was angry when he drove out the money changers. I could give you many many examples of errors in the nasb. Do you want to compare it with God's word?
I enjoy the (Authorized) KJV because it is easier for me to memorize chapters of PSALMS and verses from both the OT and NT. I have a "toolbox" of around 100 or so scriptures in my head that are used on a regular basis. The Amplified , NKJV, NIV, ESV, and the NET are useful references. I find that cross referencing with these versions are more helpful for learning scripture explanation than commentaries.
I have used a KJV for as long as I can remember and would not trade it for anything because of the personal notes I have written in it, but I will say that I do use a Septuagint now when studying the Old Testament. My question is why do all of the western Bibles only use the Masoretic Text and not the Septuagint? When it comes to the Deity of Christ the MT has some issues that are mostly ignored by the American Church. Thanks, and God Bless
John 3:30
just watched this to validate my use of NLT, ESV. Thanks!
Why do I stick with the ole KJB? I don’t have to worry about some of the issues Brother Tiff mentioned here.
I only read and study the Authorized King James Bible. I consider it the authority on ALL matters, and respect no other translations. Modern perversions have changed, added and deleted entire words and verses. Rev 22 says anyone who does this will have their names removed from the Book of Life, not the tree of life. I believe having all these Bible perversions allows people to search until they find one that says what they want it to say. I don’t like that at all. How can we all be on the same page, if we’re not even on the same book?
Have you read the authors forward to the KJV???
I listen to your message often, thanks for sharing.
I have a NIV from 1980 and ine i purchased a year ago and there have been some changes in the words. I prefer the older one but it's falling apart which is why I bought the new one. Never would have imagined it would have changed
Finding this channel was not an accident! I have been guilty of watching TV for hours and then wondering why I am spiritually dry! You think I know better..God is truly a loving father who saw what was going on in my life and us correcting it. God bless you!
Pastor respectfully the New King James Version leaves out Scripture. NKJV is NOT Accurate. NLT is also, a Bible that leaves out Scripture. The NIV leaves OUT 6,000 Scripture Verses. The only Bible that is accurate is the King James Version. It is the Only Bible from the Correct Source. It has power, hidden words spoken by the Holy Spirit and though people think it's too hard to read it is written at 5-6th grade level. People need to know the Bible is HOLY. Read KJV.
Wow!
Exactly right! KJV is the easiest and most enjoyable to read.. and most accurate
I’m sensing a lot of bias here. KJV is far from easy to read or understand. And how did you come up with the 5-6th grade reading level? 🤔
@@MomentsDivine It is the Bible. It is written in the King’s language.
It is the inspired Word of God. You can hear a verse and you have practically memorized it. When it was more exclusively used, it was as if we all spoke the same language. It doesn’t fall flat. It and it alone produces faith, thus the reason for some people’s shallowness in their rejection if It.
It is the Bible. It is not a version. It is the Holy Bible.
I grew up with the King James Version. When I was a kid at Bible camp, I remember a counselor saying, "Don't let a few 'thee's and thou's keep you out of heaven."
, "Don't let a few 'thee's and thou's keep you out of heaven." The ESV and NIV identify Jesus as God in Romans 9:5 where as the KJV doesn't. To name a few
@@againstthepope2362 Unlike the KJV, the ESV and the NIV, and as far as I can tell, all modern bibles rob Jesus of his deity in Philippians 2:6.
@@PlaidRicky1611 this ia a foot note off The Net Bible Translators notes in regard to Phil 2:6 '' The Greek term translated form indicates a correspondence with reality. Thus the meaning of this phrase is that Christ was truly God.'' So, KJV or any other version say the same thing, its just worded slightly different. The word ''robbery '' in greek is ἁρπαγμός (harpagmos) 'something to grasp' (G0725). I believe the NIV translates it best (NIV) who, being in very nature ▼God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;. And verse 7 drives it home
@@againstthepope2362 You're wrong!!
@againstthepope2362 You can't leave out God's Holy name in Philippians 2:6. When you do that, then you're corrupting God's Holy Word the Bible! Shame on you for doing that!! "Correspondence with reality" is definitely NOT the same thing as "God!" Btw, you're wrong about Romans 9:5. The KJV does make it clear that Christ is God. You're just too stupid to understand how to read that version of the Holy Bible.
KJV Only for me thank you very much :) The Ye's, Thou's, Thines are very important and they are not hard to understand. They give the proper context to the verses and tell you exactly who God is speaking to. I understand the scriptures by the Holy Spirit, not by my own understanding.
Idk why you think they're important, lol. But I love the KJV too, & as a teenager with no knowledge of the Bible at all I had no problem understanding what I needed to. As I grew I learned how to look things up & my mom got me a Strongs Exhaustive Concordance, & I've loved it. You can't learn the original language meanings from other versions. I think that alone sets the KJV above the rest.

[13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. - The scriputures themselves are spiritual and the Holy Ghost can teach you thru them.
May this message richly bless you and yours as it has bless me.
Many profess believers of Jesus Christ believe that the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath holy was nailed to the cross and that we no longer have to keep it, while still embracing the other nine commands. Do you believe this?
Ask yourself this question: which one or ones of the following Ten Commandments do Jesus wants us to keep and obey?
1. Thou shalt not have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make or bow down to gpl raven image.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
10. Thou shalt not covet.
Answer_________________
The Sabbath command is not only to be kept but it is to be calculated by the Time/calendar God ordained in the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:14. The sun, moon and stars are God’s True Time/calendar not that famous Gregorian calendar hanging on our walls in our houses. The Sabbath is calculated by the sun, moon and stars.
This split in God’s law must be repaired!! All of God’s laws, statutes, judgments and testimonies are just and true! We must do things God’s way or else we will be worshipping him in vain. There will be no good reward.
God may allow the people that rules this world to enforce some type of Sabbath law to test people to see if they will keep His law or no.
Already, there are Sabbath laws/blue laws/Sunday laws on government books today.
Friday is not the true Sabbath. Saturday is not the true Sabbath. Sunday is not the true Sabbath, etc., because they are calculated by man’s time/calendars.
This information is helpful both now and future, to get back to God’s ways and be able to choose wisely if such a “Sabbath Test” is enforced.
Let us read our Bibles, seriously repent of our evil ways, stop worshiping other gods, talking about one another, stealing, killing, lying, fornicating, adultery, disobedient to parents, etc., etc., etc.
Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. This Babylonian system is falling, the Powers in charge are aware of this fact but they cannot stop it. Their time is coming to an end! Our time is coming to an end!
If any worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, the same shall have no rest day or night and they shall be burnt with fire and brimstone. Revelation 13 and 14. Deuteronomy 5 Isaiah 58:12-14.
Also, research the “Seven Noahide Laws.” I have heard that these are Jewish laws taken from their book, “Talmud.” The first law forbids idolatry and according to Jewish writings, to believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. I have also heard that some of the USA presidents have signed this law under “Proclamation 5956-. Education Day, U.S.A, 1989 and 1990” and, word is that, it is planned to be unleashed on all nations in the future. So, Research and see if these things be truth.
May The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Christianity is not an achademic bible study, a religion, a way of life even....CHRISTIANITY IS A RELATIONSHIP
No Christianity is a message sent by Christ of doing faithfulness’s obedience to Christ Jesus in His church not this guys or any church other than that built on this the same rock as Peter, the Catholic Church, being fathered from above. This guy claims he knows how God is about His message but then reviles it and rebels against God.
@@rinkevichjm You have thay wrong. You don`t have to belong to a church to be a Christian! The teaching of the Gospel is the message, and when answered to, a relationship is deveoped with the Saviour and we become patterned after him . Christ`s church is made up of Christians who have a link with each other in their belief in Christ. "Where two or three are gathered unto my name , There am I in the midst" Is the principle on which the Church is formed. Nowhere in scripture does it speak about establishing a hierarchical system like the Roman Catholic Church!
@@elvindaryl1 Jesus said you have to obey what His Church says, and He told Paul He is the Catholic Church. Do as Paul did: actually follow the Bible and not reject it! And you can’t abide in Christ unless you’re in Him who is the Catholic Church. Get in Jesus in the Catholic Church.

Ps S ,i dont find the ministry of critique in any translation and still you exell in it!
It takes between 10 and 20 years to finalize a translation of the bible, i font belueve the translaters make any profits
Thank you Paster for being throughly in the word of God.
I noticed you never mentioned AMPC(Amplified classic)
Or the
1599 Geneva.
I use both and love them. Why would you put NIV before the AMPC when the NIV has removed scripture verses out of it?
I would prefer Geneva.
The Geneva Bible is the most accurate and it is a great study Bible..it was translated by my Great Uncle William Tyndale..I ONLY read the Geneva Bible…KJV is completely incorrect..if you go back to who King James was it would self explanatory….
The NIV didn't actually remove anything.
It's based on Greek manuscripts that the KJV translators didn't have access to.
In 1611 the oldest mss they had access to were from around 800AD and today we have some mss that are from around 100-150AD.
And we found that scribes copying the mss sometimes *added* text which ended up in bible translations. The NIV used older mss and didn't include the verses that were not original like the KJV translators unknowingly did.
I'm 69 years old and I was diagnosed only this year as being seriously autistic. I always knew I was different, and my parents also knew because our family doctor wanted to get me tested as a small child, but my abusive father wouldn't go for that, instead preferring to beat it out of me with full-on assault and battery level beatings on a weekly basis for the slightest little things I may have done. But that's not why I'm writing this. By age 17, in my final year of high school, I was a dropout, just waiting for the school year to finish so I could say to a prospective employer that I'd finished year 12. My once voracious childhood reading habit was completely spent, and I had developed a real disdain for reading pretty much anything. I gave my life to Christ midway through my final year and didn't read my Bible at all. The only translation I owned was the KJV, and it went completely over my head! Somehow I'd slipped through the cracks when I became a Christian during the 1971 Easter camp that the Baptist Church used to run for teenagers. Somehow I missed out on the counselling that new Christians usually get. I was left to kinda figure it all out on my own. Of course I had no idea that it was my autism that was wreaking havoc with my understanding. Anyhow the popular Bible version around in 1971 was The Living Bible, a paraphrase and not an actual translation. I found it easy to understand back then. I was encouraged to get The Good News Bible, which is an actual translation which brings the ancient languages into today's spoken English. That version has been howled down by the purists, but when I drove trucks for 15 years, I used to read from the GNT's New Testament. while I ate my lunch each day while parked under any shade I could find. It was during that time of my life that I became our home group pastor/teacher. The others in our home group which met in our home used to pay out on me for using the Good News translation, but when someone read something from the NIV or NASB, I could quote them word for word what the GNT said. These days I use the NIV for all online Bible study purposes. I find it easy to understand as a whole, and I find it actually more coherent than the GNT, which has been modified seriously over the 50 years since I first got my copy. I truly believe that The Holy Spirit has indeed spoken to me through every translation I've read.
Bless you and thank you for your testimony.
@@misty9908 . . God bless you Misty for reaching out to reply.😀
I am Afrikaans 68 years old speaking and the KJV is my Bible of preference
The KJV is it. It is the translation I consider accurate on Luke 2:33 and 1 John 5:7, among other verses that establish/uphold the virgin birth and Godhead.
You are a very good teacher you explain so well it helps me because I have trouble understanding the bible your teaching is so easy to understand I am enjoying listening to you speak thank you tiff ...😊
Good message and information as I wondered what Bibles were the best. I became a Believer in 1973 and yes I had a Living Bible but the Lord guided me to other ones as I grew spiritually which was a good thing but for along time I had no one living in my life, family, close friend or neighbour to talk about scriptures only a mentor across the other side of Canada which we had no internet at that time so seldom communicated but I thank God we have faithfully been able to since our iPads and she is in her nineties. God kept me faithful for 50 years next month, through thick and thin, divorce, financial hardships, a son presently with cancer, waiting for prayers to be answered for a saved family but in Gods time. I thank all the American ministries who has helped me over the years as I have had good ones, Billy Graham, Charles Stanley, Christ in Prophecy and more as well as yours the last two years also a trip to Israel where I got baptized after waiting 38 years. We all have a testimony and story but it is not I but the Lord who has brought me this far, waiting for family to be saved and the Lords coming. Blessings and thank you.
Thank you for that valuable information. My first special big Bible was the NIV and I believe that was in the early 80s and it has had to be replaced once or twice but the last NIV I bought was a very large print study Bible, with lots of pictures but I really don’t care for the wording at all so I dug around in my Bible collection and lo and behold found two Charles Stanley NASB bibles. The older one is life application and the newer one is the Life Principles bible. I like the older one The best.
Praying for you and you son and family.
Thank you!!
We in the west, especially the Anglosphere, make an odd assumption about translation. We seem to think word for word accuracy equates to accuracy of meaning. No one who's fluent in more than one language believes this.
I use the Douay-Rheims version 1899 edition. First published 1609.
Anything that uses the Latin Vulgate(early 5th Century) is off to a good start. I understand that St. Jerome had access to many older sources that have since been lost
Thank you for taking your time and doing real teachings 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was raised on kjv and all thru college, I read this version til it fell apart. Love it so much, and still use this version today! I have a great affection for my Bible and love having it near me!❤
Earlier this week I received my newest purchase from the KJV store. A 1611 KING JAMES BIBLE. Same size and everything. Weighs over thirty pounds. Some of the cars I've owned didn't cost as much as this book. I couldn't care less what any detractor thinks of that.
I came to Christ on my NIV study Bible with Hebrew and Greek translations. It helped me understand more clearly. I’m tired of hearing that KJV is the only way to read God’s Word.
@@fredthe47th Ty . I will look for those.
The niv has so many missing verse and replaced words
NIV is missing no verses at all. However if you compare it to the King James and the Translations based on King James it does not include everything that the KJV has. But the King James is not the original Bible in the least. The NIV went past KJV and straight to the source. You see, you got it backwards. King James has added verses. Look up "niv missing verses" and read for your self how over 100 Biblical scholars went straight to the source and translated the Bible into modern day English. A good in-between NIV and KJV is the ESV which also went straight to the source and sure enough happens to be "missing" the exact same verses.
@@gtrmusic69 NIV has many missing verses, the context is a bit distorted also, some verses also says very different compared to the original scripture. NIV is one of the false bible out there
Just what I was sharing. I think also - repentance is missing. Either way, I read the King James and occasionally New King James. The passage which talks about casting down imaginations in the KJV, states 'casting down arguments' in the NKJ.
I love the KJV more than other version but your right about the NKJV nlt nasb net ESV and the niv they are my favorite but I like to read them side by side because the KJV is the only one I like more than others version ❤❤
Thank you for the golden information you shared to us about so manybible translations this information is a great eye- opener for me
Dear Sir: when studying Ezekiel 36-39, I cant help but see the beginning and the end of the tribulation period, Ezekiel as an older prophet could only see the two peaks of each, like two mountains, he not being able to see the middle parts, the valley of those two mountains , seems this war of Ezekiel is not a war of its own rather the period of Jacob's trouble , to me this simplifies how I view the sections of prophecy and now makes a lot more sense, Also people are trying to say that America is Babylon but they seem to forget verse 18 in Rev. 17 where God states who that city is, in other words, Babylon Means Babylon, where it all started it will all end, The bookends of History
I will continue to use my New King James Version. I also use other Bible translations, concordances, and commentaries in my studies. There are words used in the KJV that have different meanings today (like the word "replenish" in Gen. 1:28), so even the KJV isn't perfect. Not realizing the change in meanings can cause confusion, and cause people to believe there are contradictions. When it comes to being error free, that would be the original scriptures that our Bibles have been translated from.
We also say rejoice. Which means to have joy. It doesn't mean to have joy again.
See also Esther 7:5 "presume in his heart" = to make full (replenish)👍👍For more on this topic, No King But Caesar & The Return Of The Melchisedec is available online at Advantage Books. Peace to all.
You should order the book by Laurance Vance on the so-called archaic words. It's very educational. Also, I thought of this a few days ago. Do you say rejoice? or do you say 'joice'? Just an example.
One of the oldest texts predates the KJV by over 800 years and forms the heart of the Ethiopian bibles with 84 books, yet the Romans and now the 'West' dismisses these versions.
There are what we call archaic words in pretty much every bible. The NKJ isn't very good. See David Daniels video on the NKJV and you will understand. As for the word replanish, we also use the word rejoice. Just something to think about. As for archaic words, there is a great book on the subject by Laurance Vance, vance publications. It will help understand a whole lot of words in the Bible and make you smarter than the average bear.
Still no list of 5 bible translations to avoid after 30 minutes into this pedantic tome !

Don’t understand a specific word?
Look it up and research it.
Amen, 2 Timothy 2:15, not difficult.
Did you know that the NIV has many scriptures removed? Some of those scriptures are very important and I was astonished to learn about it.
I use the Jerusalem Bible mainly. I would be interested to know what you think about that translation. Thank you.
Pastor, I do not understand how the NIV is on your list as an accurate Bible. You just finished quoting Rev 22:18-19 about adding and removing the words of the Bible is a curse but it is said the NIV omits many scriptures in it's translation. Is this not true? Please advise.
In the NIV look up these verses; John 5:4, Mathew 23:14, Mathew 17:21, Mathew 18:11, Mark 7:16, Mark 9:44, Mark 9:46, Mark 11:26, Mark 15:28, Luke 17:36, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, Acts 15:34, Acts 24:7, Acts 28:29, Romans 16:24.
I didn't hear the New World Translation, either. That's the one the Jehovah Witness use to prove Jesus isn't God.
Verses may not be in a translation because they don't exist in a majority of manuscripts or are heavily contested as being original. You will likely find references in the footnotes and comments.
The warning is to not ADD to scripture or REMOVE. So how do you know if one of those verses was added to one translation, or removed from another? You have to survey all the available ancient manuscripts and use proper historical and textual critical sciences to determine the likelihood that some verse is really original. And scholars know how to do that.
This is usually only a point KJV-onlyist types bring up because they consider KJV the most high standard and all differences that other translations have are "additions" or "removals" FROM the KJV, as if KJV were somehow the actual standard, which it isn't. Why is a verse "missing" from another translation? Rather than ADDED to KJV? We only know that by the textual sciences and historical research of manuscripts. That's how. KJV has stuff that is likely added. Most translations have footnotes and commentary about contested text.
There is no conspiracy, there is just choices made by translators and historians about the validity of a handful of texts. It's a small number and not all that significant in the grand scheme of doctrines.
Recently I have come to understand how lucky I’ve been. My uncle put notes in my New American Standard in the places he and his colleagues believed to be less then correct. He translated both first century Hebrew and Greek. Uncle Robert also gently taught me from his Hebrew and Greek books until I was twelve. Even then I knew what a gift that was.
...Believed to be less than... Not, "then". Sounds like your uncle was a good man.
@@fredthe47th Thank you for your comment, and I apologize for my 'unfortunately' worded statement. Grow up.
@edwardpearce9668 Don't feel bad for you choice of words, everybody could understand what you meant. By the way, "unfortunate" would be as wrong as "lucky" according to @fredthe47th 's. narrow criteria. This reminds me of 1st Timothy 6:4. "He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings". God bless 🙂

While I would not use The Message as my primary Bible or for serious study, I do find it useful for giving a different perspective that can challenge one to think deeper about some passages. The author did not intend it to replace any translation. But occasionally he hits the nail on the head. As one example, he renders Psalm 46:10 as “Stop! Get out of the traffic. Take a long living look at me, your high God - above politics, above everything.” Just as some preachers who use the more formal equivalent translations may look at a dynamic translation to help clarify a difficult passage, I have looked at the Message to get m mind out of a rut in which it is stuck. In the same way, while I generally use a dynamic equivalent, like the NIV and NLT, when I come to a passage that is not clear I might turn to a formal equivalent, like the NKJV, for clarification. I have most of your top ten on my Kindle.
I became a Jehovah's Witness at 15, left after 2 years. I understand why people would call it a cult but I actually felt like it was LESS of a cult than the family/society I grew up in. And not that different from any other Christians. I ditched the magazines and door knocking. Tried to use a Yahweh and not Jehovah. I left because I grew a beard and started leaning Hebrew. And I didn't wanna wear a tie anymore. I also noticed they quote Paul more than Jesus. Now im my 40s, I'm a total atheist but I still try to set the record straight regarding them. There are plenty of reasons to criticize them. Not enough people know what those reasons are. TOO MANY people would just say "Maybe in yerrrrr bible!", even though that particular passage is virtually identical to what their precious King Jimmy says.
As a JW I wouldn’t say we quote Paul more. I think Paul’s ministry as to starting the Christian congregation/activities.
We fully believe that Jesus is the founder and the only way to the Father -Jehovah.
Also the Tetragrammaton is Gods name in all scripture.
Jehovah is found in many different Bibles.
It is the Tetragrammaton articulated.
Thank you for sharing. This took time and dedication to produce and post.
I used to read the KJV from youth. Nowadays I am inclined to read NKJV. It is a lot easier to read. I studied a lot English Literature so reading the older versions isnt too hard, but it does slow me down.
I recently purchased a NLT Bible and I'm interested in reading it. I like reading the Bible as a whole. It is important to me to fully understand the bigger picture.
I also study individual verses, but there is a hazard to take it out of context. I prefer to read surrounding text to have a clue about what was going on when the verse was said.
But NIV and ESV have many missing verses
I’m not native english speaking person, but I like KJV bible. God led me into it in the beginning and I read it with finnish bible 1933/38, old testament /new testament version.
Did you say that they removed Jesus Christ from John 14:26 with the Holy spirit (or comforter)? I checked it with a printed version of the KJV and The NKJV and they both say, "_But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."_ Also the PDF version!
Good morning Jonathon. You said; "Have you tried any Bible study courses?"
The *BEST* Bible study course is _reading_ the Bible. Which is exactly what ChaplainK is doing.
"Bible study courses" are denominational. And prove the old axiom *You can make the Bible say anything if you TORTURE it long enough"

You said; "want to know what day is the real Sabbath"
The best way to find the answer to that question is to put away your Bible Study Courses. And start at Genesis 1.1 and read until you reach Rev 22.21.

If you do that, you will get your EXACT answer. And I know what it will be.
"has it been changed by God?" You will get an extremely clear answer to that, as well.

The HalleluYah Scriptures is the best version of the Father’s Word-the most accurate-and restores the Names of YHWH and Yahshua back to where they belong-nearly 7000 times! The Father put His Name in His Word thousands of times, but you will not find His Name in modern translations. It is such a blessing to have a version that has honored, obeyed, revered and esteemed our Heavenly Father by putting His Name back in His Own Word-where He originally put it! HalleluYHWH! This is HIS End-Times Restoration, just as He promised! “Therefore see, I am causing them to know, this time I cause them to know My Hand and My Might. And they shall know My Name is YHWH!” Jeremiah/YirmeYahu 16:21 🙏🏻
Yashua means salvation,. not Jesus.any don't know that.
Personally and through studying the Bible through the various translations, i disagree with your choices. Firstly the KJV did not have a small amount of manuscripts they had enough to put together the entire Bible and with the most accurate transliteration possible. Your choices of those other Bibles are from the Westcott and Hort influence which is not an accurate translation because it comes from different manuscripts. You need to watch Chuck Missler's videos about the Bible translations. look for ** only one Bible to trust **. Should reveal a thing or two.
Also Gail Riplinger.
This is a great and recommendable work. Thank you sir.God bless you.
Teams of scholars to "interpret" inspired scripture written by "teams of scholars" like, well, you know, that team that "worked" under Moses for his books. I pray for you, through the intercession of St. Jerome, that you may have the veil covering your eyes lifted.

My wife and I are about 2/3 of the way through father Mike Schmitz' Bible in a Year course, which uses the Revised Standard Second Catholic edition, so following him, I recommended that
I use the KJV as a standard on which different denominations can come together on, plus the use of language is very poetic and beautifully written. When I study the Old Testament, I use KJV and JPS (Jewish Publication.) I’m a Christian studying the Hebrew versions of the Old Testament called the Tanach. When I read the New Testament and use the KJV with supplementary secondary source content.
Same here, I went so far as to get 3- 1917 OJPS The Holy Scriptures from ebay. One was 66 years old "brand new" from 1957. Had it redone in leather calfskin. Good stuff.
I would like to know what other criteria you went by to qualify accurate translations. I understand why you don't recommend the ones you Dont consider good translations.
I grew up on and continue reading / meditating on King James Version . It’s the only one I really understand and feel moved by the Holy Ghost.
Only
Give us a list of the translations you have read thru for yourself and don't list only what you have "heard" about a translation and the ones you do not understand............
@@kdeh21803I grew up reading the JKV in church, but they mysteriously switched over to the Never Inspired Version. The Dying Bible, the Message, NKJV, Amplified, NASB, and the others you mentioned were included in multi Bible books. I heard enough about the CEV and CSB, to pass on them. I understand the ESB has critical passages from the Dead Sea Scrolls. What I’ve touched upon the the Jerusalem Bible looked good, but I wanted something that was available to the masses.
Although I was confirmed, it didn’t prepare me for the outside world. I experimented, and although I thought it was a joke, I went to a Kingdom Hall with a co-worker. I didn’t know how bad I was hooked, until another friend took two hours to deprogram me. He asked me, “Who’s speaking at Acts 13:2?” I had to be true to myself and others and answer, the Holy Spirit. That’s when I saw, that the NWT was a malevolent comic book, and that the Holy Spirit was not a force or floating brain.
I’m King James all the way.
I can’t believe you recommend NIV. When I read NIV first time I felt I’m reading a newspaper. They also omitted verses out.
*"They also omitted verses out."* No, you have been misled, brother. The NIV didn't leave a single verse out.
KJv for me although it is a bit antiquated but it's easy enough to read
Great message on truth or deceiving translation of the Bible. I agree on your translation of truth and error! Thank you 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was interviewed for television once, about thirty years ago, and was asked about translations. I said that many of them were fraudulent for profit. The director chopped my comment out of the program. I am so glad to find you a kindred spirit, with the courage to say what I tried to say then. Thank you for your knowledgable, honest and passionate defense of the authentic text which is our heritage from the Holy Spirit. May God reward you now and forever.
This may sound a tad odd to the uninformed, but Christians need to be more shrewd. Had you said that many of the translations were _less than accurate_ instead of fraudulent, the director probably wouldn't have chopped your comment. Of course, "less than accurate" would've been less accurate than "fraudulent" but it would've achieved the purpose. 😉
I would appreciate if u just mention immediately what biblical translation versions u would Not recommend for us 2 read instead of spending a lot of your time in discussing other insignificant issues 2 avoid wastage of your viewers' time in listening n watching u.Tnx.
So Christians say the Bible is the Word of God ? God has left a book for the salvation of souls yet the Bible can be falsified. Did an all knowing God not know that the book would be changed. The Jews changed the Old Testament on a few occasions They removed MacCabees and other books and Luther followed. Today the Jews are happy to talk of MacCabees.
@@huntongchee4158 He actually said not to even read the NWT, however i regard the NWT to be the most accurate translation.
@@lawrencedavidson6195NWT accurate? Why? Can you point to any verse where it is more accurate than any modern translation?
In my prayer and reading, I use the NKJV and I am quite comfortable with it, but recently I have been listening to an audio bible on youtube while on walks or driving etc. When I saw your video I looked up the version that I have been listening to and sure enough it is the Contemporary English Audio Bible, and that was No 5 on your list. Thank you for setting me straight.
The NKJ version is also a bad one. The old KJ version is better
I too use the kjv and other so called Bibles are incorrect and the niv is poision!
That's not just Tiff who set you straight, it was the Holy Spirit within you who lead you to him. As it says in scripture, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." (John 14:26). He's called the "Spirit of Truth" for a reason. He will never allow you to continue listening to, believing, or practicing a lie.
My Bible is the original one, never stolen or burnt or lost. This is Gods Word, for all who put trust in him. AMEN 🙏
Original? Original is Hebrew and Greek.
Tiff Shuttlesworth, a typical US Bible scholar. He cites the King James Bible as accurate, yet one of its most important sacraments is based on a mistranslation. The Old Testament or Torah of Judaism Hebrew had two words for a young girl, one meaning a literal virgin and the one that is used meaning just a young girl. The prediction of the Messiah's birth is in the Book of Isaiah. Unfortunately the Greek of the New Testament does not have a word just for young girl, only virgin, so that is the word used in the story of Jesus's birth, and from that one word mistranslation came the Church's construction of the Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven, Immaculate Conception. The King James Bible - beautiful English but full of superstition, error and bad history.
I'm Jerusalem Bible Study Edition. Accurate,, up to date with scholarship and the notes are superb for a single volume, giving even where the different sources of the Pentateuch begin and end for example.
The Jerusalem Bible is a Catholic bible. There are reasons not to trust the choices of the Vatican since its inception, especially since that religion puts itself ABOVE the Word of God and disobeys it blatantly.
Thank you, Reverend Shuttlesworth, for this valuable information. A little omission or twist and people can miss the mark. A pilot once said deviating from the route by 5 degree can mean about 150 miles away from destination.
I'm 76 years old now and I've been a Christian for 53 years, and during that time I've owned several different Bible translations, but I always go back to the King James Version. Once in awhile I'll look up verses in the NASB version to compare what it says with what the King James Version says, but I hardly ever do that any more. I just stick with the King James Version.
I'm 74 , and I'm glad about the better translations,. When I was 22years old , Exodus 20:13 mislead me when I was in the Army, and Luke 14: 26 was a bad translation that God got me threw, and finally a new translation got it right, The Passion new testament.😊
if you mean that the passion translation got you through your hard times and you are being truthful, im sorry but it is inaccurate very much so and the creator has no knowledge of hebrew, greek, or aramaic and he redirects it towards himself most of the time@@chadboxford3589
What are your thoughts on the Protestants who chose to remove seven books from the Old Testament in the sixteenth century? Would they be covered by those verses in Rev 22?
For 30+ years I used to think Catholics had ADDED them but after a bit of actual historical study I realised that it was the Protestant reformers who actually REMOVED them….
as for myself for reasons unexplained, I am King James only
Thank you for life-giving information. I find that the King James Bible makes memorizing Scripture easier than others. And many, many Scriptures in song from the KJV have become a valuable part of my praising, thanking and worshipping God in my daily devotions. And it is important to ask God for wisdom and understanding when reading God's Word. I find Him faithful to His promise that His Holy Spirit will help me in this way as i commit myself to continue studying and not giving up - and He does. There are Godly teachers who have helped me grow in faith, love and patient endurance as well. All thanks, praise, glory and honor be to God in Jesus' Name. Thank you, again.
Order the book In Awe Of Thy Word and you will be blessed by it. It describes that very subject and the whys.
I am thankful for the KJV and nkjv. They are my favorite. But I also use the Strong's Concordance Hebrew and Greek. I have trouble with the NIV and ESV. They are so totally different. When you study 2 Tim 1:7 sound mind fits . It is in the kjv and nkjv but it says self control on the others. In the Strong's it is sound mind. Also in other verses it is totally different. I am thankful I have the Holy Spirit to help me
NIV is loosely translated
@stephenmartin7632 Thank you I accepted Jesus in 1988. But when you use their version it totally changed the meaning
What are some those 5 Translations that I should avoid ..please help me ..thanks
I have heard several pastures say the ESV is closest.
@dora_the_explorer975 thank you I have been with the kjv and nkjv since 1988. I rely on the Precious Holy Spirit. Irseems like Satan is trying to use all the different Bibles to divide us.
Thank you Mr. Shuttlesworth for providing us these valuable videos. God Bless
My list matches 7 of your 10 -- while I have the NLT on top of the list. What a great Bible it is, one we can indeed trust and enjoy.
Great message. Bless you.
